In our current world and society, there are many people that don’t have proper manners regarding technology. We must learn the boundaries and rules on what to do and not do. It's simple manners and being polite not to burp aloud, but what about people talking loudly on their cell phones in a public space, disrupting others?.
Growing up around technology, I know many things about it.. So at first, when looking at this topic, I just said to myself that I knew this all already and I won’t need to learn anything. However, I was proven wrong very quickly as we dove deeping into this topic.
The idea of having a proper ringtone or talking quietly on public transportation didn’t cross my mind at all. Not only does this apply to the real world, but the virtual world as well. You should be nice to people online and use your manners. Since learning all these, I’ve revisited the way that I look at this topic.
I’ve learnt that people should be kind to others as if they were in that person’s shoes. You shouldn’t harass people or intimidate someone for something. If you were to do that, it would be considered cyberbullying.
I think one take away for this topic is that we should be kind to others and fair. 1 in 3 young people have experienced cyber threats, according to the I-Safe foundation (2019). That means that someone next to you has experienced this, or even you, yourself. The topic of cyberbullying crosses over to the next topic we learnt next.
