Importance of "Netiquette"


   Today, people say that it is important to follow "netiquette" when you use the internet. However, I haven't thought well about what "netiquette" is.  What is "netiquette"?
 
  "Netiquette" is an abbreviation of "network" and "etiquette". While it is a kind of manner toward other people like daily etiquette, we can't see other people when we are using the internet. This likely to make people be insensitive. For example, it happens quite often to hurt other's feelings unconsciously. I attribute this kind of problem to people's unthinking behavior. People tend to concentrate on themselves only, and be not able to consider other people's feeling when they are using the internet. However, whenever you contribute your opinion to the internet, there are a lot of people who read it, so we have to make sure that our opinion is proper to write before you contribute it to the internet. I think this is exactly "netiquette".

  On the other hand, I think there is also "netiquette" that people who read some article or someone's blog should follow. The most important thing for the readers is not to accept what are written on the internet, because there are a lot of false or groundless rumors in the world of internet. If you accept it rashly, and spread it to your friends or family, the rumor may cause great confusion. We have to think more about the articles or ideas before we accept it. I think this behavior is also good "netiquette".

  We need to follow "netiquette" not only as a person who send own ideas but also as a person who accept other's ideas when we use the internet.

  1. I was impressed by your blog. I thought "netiquette" only in a view of writing, but you noticed me that we also should be careful when I read something on the internet. And we can acquire the skill of critical thinking in our university!
