Netiquette

With all the advancements our society has seen in technology it is not surprising that much of our communicating is done through email and on the web. More and more, communication is not being done face to face and sometimes we may forget that we are dealing with a real person. We need to be careful with what we write and how we choose to use our words. Communicating over the Internet is great because, when we are dealing with people face to face, we may be judged by our appearance. When communicating on the web, the only aspect they can judge us on is how well we present ourselves and how well we write. This makes it all the more important to make sure that spelling and grammar have been checked. All in all the Internet is a great place to share knowledge and we should not be afraid to share what we know. Just be aware of the etiquette that should be used when using the Internet as a means of communicating.
