Internet Survival Guide

1. The Internet has changed communication because it gives humans the privilege to do things easier than they can in person without getting caught. For example, the Internet lets you judge others anonymously and possibly ruin their lives.

2. Immediacy is when you post something online and the post immediately is recognized by others, even if you delete it someone possibly got offended or screenshotted the post.

            Permanence is when a post is permanent. It will always exist on the internet.

            Lack of Control is when you don’t have control over something you or another person posted.

    3.    Immediacy, Permanence, and Lack of Control affect our online and offline lives because whatever                is under your name will follow you forever.

   4.    You can protect your identity and reputation by securing your accounts and thinking before you post.

    5.    The internet does have rules. Social media and other websites allow you to do certain things and has the authority to ban you.

     6.   Cyberbullying is harassing someone else just to lower their self esteem.

There is also flaming and outing, they are considered bullying because they hurt others’ feelings and make them feel bad about themselves.

     7. Victims: seek help, report the pages.

Bullies: think before you post.

Bystanders: don’t engage, talk to the victim afterwards.
