The Concise Guide to Online Etiquette: Why netiquette is essential in the modern world is a much-needed conversation starter. Knowing that technology has completely changed how we communicate with others (especially post-COVID19) requires a new set of etiquette to safely navigate this online world.
We can build a better world without hurting ourselves and or others. Essentially, why the slogan, “together for a better internet.”is all that important. Online etiquette, therefore, overviews the accepted ways of behaving and interacting while within any digital space that protects our own optimal health and well-being, and that of those in interactions with (and around) us.
For young people, teenagers especially, there isn’t a well spelled out guideline on how to interact online amidst all the euphoria of being able to connect with old friends while making new ones, and doing everything else that they are capable of doing online.
