1. Internet has changed the verbal communication, people these days don’t like to communicate verbally, they just sent messages through gmail or snap chat or google hangouts.

2.  Immediacy is when you bring someone into a direct and instant involvement with something or someone. This can effect our online life and our offline life, for example if you see someone having a conversation in the hallway, and the person directly involves you in the conversation, Immediacy can also affect your online life, for example if a person is having an argument with a person online and you join in, you are probably going to get involved in the situation. its also like when you post something immediately.

3. Permanence is something permanent which stays and never goes off the internet, also it’s the state of lasting for a long time or remaining forever, in other words it’s endless. Permanence can effect our online life, for example if we post something inappropriate, people can re post it like a 100 times then it's all over the internet it doesn't go away no matter how hard you try to get it off the internet.

Permanence also affects our offline life, for example if you get suspended many times, the record would stay there forever.

4.  “Lack of control”  Many people face lack of control for example if you post a tweet and someone re tweets it by editing it, you would probably try to delete it but you wouldn't be able to, because it was re tweeted many times and someone probably has it saved. A real life example of “Lack of Control” is when the teacher is asking the kids to pay attention, and the kids take their phone out to text.

5. “Does the Internet have rules?”

No, because you can be 12 years old and get on Facebook by changing your birth day to 1998 or 1999.

6. “Define cyber bullying in your own words”

Cyber bullying is used when you bully someone using an electronic device, it’s like when you sent messages to a person to threaten them.

7. The way you can actively manage protect your identity and your reputation online is when you have a password which cannot be hacked easily by a hacker, or you can have the private mode on your account so your files would not be shown, also do not post any bad comments which can get reported, don’t save your password into different computers because people can get into your account easily.

8. There are 2 types of cyber bullying through an electronic device, the first one is when you threaten someone through a phone, like you ask someone to give you money and you say if you don't give me the money right now you are going to die or lose your job etc…

The second way of cyber bullying is when you insult a classmate by an unknown number or by your own number and make them feel really bad about themselves.

9. My advice for victims, bullies and bystanders of cyber bullying is that they should stop doing this because it’s only waste of their time, they can do something better and help people out who are lonely and have no one to talk to. If they would stop doing the negative stuff they would feel way better, and they also would get wisdom.
