1. An explanation of how the Internet has changed communication. Make sure to use at least one specific example.

Internet has changed communication in various ways. Not only does news, information, messages, and content travel more swiftly, but we, as a society, can access those formats during any given time despite its current relevancy. For example, anyone is able to obtain a particular piece of a conversation involving others about a turn of events that has occurred during the past, even if it no longer is pertinent to an individual or the people involved. This can be a negative or positive aspect, but it elaborates on the ways in which communication has become effortless.

2. Define Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control as they pertain to the Internet and explain how Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control affect both our offline and our online identities and lives. Include at least one example for each.

Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control pertain to the Internet in many ways. Permanence is when you post content and it stays as a piece of Internet history, Lack of Control is the loss of control with the content you post and where it gets taken/shown, and Immediacy is the short period of time taken for others to find and share your opinion online. These concepts affect both of our offline and online identities because your online identity can become your offline identity. It is easy to search for an individual by their social media account or online profile. With this information, access is easily retrieved and lives can be changed. Both positively and negatively.

3. What are two ways that you can actively manage and protect your identity and your reputation online? (one of each)

Two ways that you can actively manage and protect your identity and your reputation online are:

• Be sure to post respectable content and photos of yourself or other things.

• Place your account on a private setting provided by the website to protect the photos or photos of others that you post.

• Advocate for the proper causes and keep personal opinions to yourself.

• Be mindful of those who review or visit your account page.

4. Answer the question: “Does the Internet have rules?” Use at least one specific example.

I do believe that the Internet has rules. The websites that we visit and use on a daily basis consist of policies and terms that we must follow, these exact platforms comprise of the Internet. There are also laws stating that certain content is not permitted to be viewed on the Internet, too. For example, when using a social media website such as Facebook.com, there is a in-depth description of the Terms of Use that are allowed on their format. Not every person takes to the time to read it, but it is imperative that you do. It enlists everything that is needed to know, including the things that you can and cannot do. It also explains how much action can be taken if issues occur with your account, the content that you post, and much more. Therefore, the Internet does have rules.

5. Define cyberbullying in your own words.

Cyberbullying is a form of online harassment in which a single individual or more interacts with one person in a negative manner with the intention of hurting them, verbally abusing them, and starting quarrels to a boundless extent.

6. Describe at least 2 kinds of cyberbullying and why they are considered cyberbullying.

Two kinds of specific bullying that can be defined as cyberbullying are Shaming and Outing. These kinds of bullying are considered as cyberbullying because Shaming involves the intention of posting content that has no correlation to it itself, but is only to hurt the sentiment of a certain person or group of people. Outing is considered a particular sort of cyberbullying because it involves posting the private information of another for anyone to see without the approval/consent of that individual. Both of these kinds of cyberbullying are considered underneath Pennsylvania law.

7. Provide advice for: victims, bullies and bystanders of cyberbullying.

• Advice for victims of cyberbullying:

You are important and no matter what someone says behind a keyboard, you are more than their hurtful words. If you are continuing to struggle with problems involving trolls/cyberbullies, enlist the help of a trusted adult to proceed with steps to take more action.

• Advice for bystanders of cyberbullying:

Please do not interact with the aforementioned cyberbully. Asking for help from others, including close friends, is a better alternative than becoming a victim of the cyberbully and their actions. But, do not take this lightly. Not interacting does not translate as not being of aid.

• Advice for bullies of cyberbullying:

Bullying others has no significance within the online world. If you are a bully, please stop immediately. Speaking to others harshly and harassing them is not only unkind, but it can prompt damaging behavior and thoughts. If there is an issue that you are suffering from as well, do not take this out on others. Seek help and solve whatever quandaries you possess.

8. Your Top 5 tips for using the Internet.

• Be mindful of what you are posting and where you post it.

• Treat others online as you would like/want to be treated.

• If issues occur and continue to ensue, inform someone that you trust (an adult, teacher, parent) to get assistance.

• Present yourself respectfully on public profiles in case an employer reviews your account. If you’d like a side account to be more casual/open-minded on, then that is acceptable as well.

• Have fun responsibly.

1. ,An explanation of how the Internet has changed communication. Make sure to use at least one specific example.

The internet has changed communication in many ways, for example you can instantly send a message, or even start a conversation over something you posted.

2. Define Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control as they pertain to the Internet and explain how Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control affect both our offline and our online identities and lives. Include at least one example for each.

Immediacy- Being able to send or post something and have it uploaded almost immediately, Immediacy affects our online identities in ways such

Permanence- The lasting remains of a post that remain on the internet even after it’s been deleted, this affects our online and offline identities because people online and offline could judge you for an irrationally posted subject like in the case of Kenneth Cole’s insensitive Cairo post.

Lack of control- Not being able to fully control what is done with something you post like when a celebrity post something and others repost what they did immediately and the their post could be taken out of context.

3. What are two ways that you can actively manage and protect your identity and your reputation online? (one of each)

Two ways you can actively manage and protect your identity and reputation online are by not sharing secret information that is considered private and do not post private/harmful things you consider to be of your secretive life.

4. Answer the question: “Does the Internet have rules?” Use at least one specific example.

No I do not believe that the internet has rules because it's more like the sites on the internet have rules, the rules of the sites you go on aren’t the same as one another/universal, so it’s like the internet is a blank sheet that can have parts of it modified for certain things but remain a blank sheet.

5. Define cyberbullying in your own words.

Cyberbullying is when someone is threatened, harassed and/or targeted by someone else a device that allows them to use the Internet.

6. Describe at least 2 kinds of cyberbullying and why they are considered cyberbullying

Two kinds of cyber bullying are harassment & stalking, harassment is repeatedly sending malicious messages to someone directly online, stalking is the continued following and watching over someone with eerie intent.

7. Provide advice for: victims, bullies and bystanders of cyberbullying

If you are a victim of cyberbullying report your incident to an authority, if you are the one who is bullying I’d best advise that you terminate your actions immediately before things get out of hand or consequences will be bestowed upon you, If you are a bystander you should also report the incident in support of the victim.

8. Your Top 5 tips for using the Internet

-Dont discriminate

-Do help report unjust actions made by others

-Don’t accept everybody/unknown people’s friend request

-Do ignore unflattering/ignorant text made by others.

2. The internet really changed the communication. Before the internet, people communicated with telegraphs and written letters, or even with verbal speech. Now people have more ways like, Facebook, twitter, hangouts, etc. because of that, the rate of face to face speech has decreased.

3. Immediacy = how fast the content that you put in the internet gets out there. Permanence = the time you're content stays in the web, (forever). Lack of control = you have no control over your content once you put it in the web. permanence= once you put anything up, it stays there FOREVER!!! For example, an girl shared a video with just her friends talking about asians in the library. At first, it was JUST to her friends. But as soon as she posted the video, it was being shared millions of times!! Now, everyone got the stories in their hands forever. She is having troubles fitting in. that’s why you should think before you post

4. First way is to report fake accounts. Second way is to use strong passwords

5. The internet does not have rules. Individual websites have rules like, “do not use profanity language. If you use it, you're comment will not be posted”

6. Harassing and flaming. They use profanity or language that is intentionally meant to hurt someone’s feelings.

7. Do Not fuel the fire / talk back or respond to the cyberbullies. Contact an adult

8. Be safe, be prepared, take tech Class, Report spammers, and help others!

Slide Two: The internet changed communication by allowing people to text and interact with each other without either one knowing who the person they’re talking too is. When you go online, you can start a chat with someone. Their username could be their real name or a variation of their name, favorite food, favorite cartoon, everything they want. You don’t know who you’re talking too or they’re from, that’s how the internet changed communication.

Slide Three : When you post a picture online on social media sites such as Instagram, Snapchat, or Facebook, someone can immediately take a screenshot, save, or download your comments or pictures. That’s immediacy. For example, let’s say  I posted a picture of me and my sisters on Instagram or posted a really nasty comment and deleted it afterward. The comment and picture are still on the Internet, someone who took a screenshot of the comment or downloaded the photo, can repost it. It’s that quick.

Slide Five: Anything you post online stays online. It’s permanent. Even if you delete it, there’s some kind of variation of your picture, blog, comment, etc. on the internet. That’s permanence. Anything you put online stays online even if you thought it was gone. For example, if you post an article or have a blog and deleted it somehow. It’s still there. Nothing really gets deleted off the internet, someone can recreate your article or blog post. It’s not gone.

Slide Four: Like I said with immediacy, once you post something online, it spreads fast. It can go in anyone’s hands and anyone would go post it and claim it as theirs. Lack of control pretty much explains itself. The lack of ownership on anything you’ve posted online. Once it’s out there, it’s out there. For example, you immediately post a picture of yourself on Instagram. Even though you took the picture and you posted it first, you still lost control of it. Now everyone can save or download your picture and use it for themselves.  

You can manage your reputation online by not feeding trolls. If you see someone saying mean things about you and spamming your profile or email, either report them or block them. Replying back to them will just give ammunition to damage your reputation and can post your comments online. Showing the people they follow that you’re a bully even if they’re the one shaming you. Another way could be positive and nice online. Don’t post any negative or insulting comments online.

Slide Seven: The Internet has rules somewhat but does seem as if they can do anything you want on there. Websites and apps do have rules, rules people follow and obey by. But the Internet as a whole does have rules

Slide Eight: Cyberbullying is  harassing and bullying someone online, it can be unintentional or intentional.

Slide Nine:

• Shaming

• Trolling

Slide Ten: For victims of cyberbullying, you would say try to get some help. First block or report this person. Don’t engage in anything conversation with them and don’t have your friends talk to them too. The bully would now be able to pick on you and your friends. If blocking and reporting them didn’t work, tell your parents. If your parents decided to take legal action, gather evidence of them bullying you. Screenshot their messages and provide it to the court. Evidence can help you.

For bullies, my advice would be to think before you post. Put yourself in their shoes. Would you respond if someone was harassing you online? Why exactly are you posting negative comments and getting into arguments with them and leads to physical threats? Depending on which state you’re in, you could go to jail for online harassment. It is worth it?

For bystanders, I would say don’t bully the bully. Telling the bully off would just anger them more and now you’re going to be bullied too. Private message the victim and comfort them. Tell them how special they are and not to listen to the bully’s threat.

Slide 11: Your Top 5 tips for using the Internet

1. Think before you post

2. The Internet is a privilege, not a right

3. Try to put yourselves in other’s shoes, you don’t know them. You don’t know what they’re going through.

4. Respect the Internet and the contents within

5. Life doesn’t revolve around the Internet. Try taking short breaks from it to go outside or read a book.

(First Slide) Internet Survival Guide

Questions:

(Second Slide, and Third Slide) 1. An explanation of how the Internet has changed communication. Make sure to use at least one specific example.

(Second Slide and Third Slide)1. My Answer: The Internet has changed communication by allowing us to communicate with anyone privately or publicly. You have basketball players or other professional athletes who sometimes come into contact with women who comment on their photos on the Internet.

(Fourth Slide, Fifth Slide, and Sixth Slide)2. Define Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control as they pertain to the Internet and explain how Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control affect both our offline and our online identities and lives. Include at least one example for each.

(Fourth Slide, Fifth Slide, and Sixth Slide)2. My Answer:

(Fourth Slide) - Lack of control is when you do something on the Internet without thinking about how it will affect you. An example of this is if I was a homo sexual person and I had a boyfriend who I brought in my dorm to do nasty stuff and my roommate was recording, so he threatens me and says he’ll posts videos of my boyfriend and I. My parents in this situation don’t know that I’m homo sexual, so I jump off a bridge, because I don’t want to be alive when they do and why did I kill myself, because I had lack of control over the situation.

(Fifth Slide)- Permanence is when you post something on the Internet not realizing that whatever goes on the Internet stays on the Internet. An example of this is the situation with the woman Alicia Ann Lynch, who wore a Boston Marathon Bombing Costume and posted it on Twitter. She lost her job, got death threats towards her and her parents, because she chose to post a picture of herself wearing this costume. She deleted it quickly, but in the end once you post something, it’s out there and it’s gonna be posted on someone else’s page most likely.

(Sixth Slide)- Immediacy is like when an email is sent, it’s that quick. That’s why you need to think before you post, don’t sit there and just post anything or else it will backfire on you.

(Seventh Slide)3. What are two ways that you can actively manage and protect your identity and your reputation online? (one of each)

• One way is don’t put your identity online and the other way is simply watch what you post. For example don’t be an idiot and post your credit card on Instagram.

(Eight Slide) 4. Answer the question: “Does the Internet have rules?” Use at least one specific example.

  Immediacy is one of the most common things to happen on the internet an example of this is when you make a video and when you upload it goes to the internet immediatly. Permanence is when your video or post is up on the internet forever, an example of this is a youtuber called keemstar and he made a racist video and everyone downloaded it and re uploaded it.

           7.      Provide advice for: victims, bullies and bystanders of cyberbullying

                  Your Top 5 tips for using the Internet

If your bullying someone just try to stop because it will ruin your reputation, if you're being harassed then try to talk to someone about it instead of keeping it to yourself, and if you're a bystander then try to defend the person instead of joining the majority that hates the person. Always make sure you be careful

    Since The internet has become the biggest thing ever, everyone is on it almost all the time and with that everyone is talking to everyone on it. On the internet lots of people are anonymous and with that people think they can just say whatever they want to who ever they want which technicley they can but still that doesn’t mean you should.

   The truth about being online is that there will always be someone on there who may say something mean to you if itll be honest or not. If you’re going to be online you need to be aware that there aren’t always going to be nice people and you need to just have a thick skin.

   If you want to be known as a good person online you’re going to have to be really careful of what you post and say because otherwise it’s there forever and theres no taking it back. Of course you have to be aware that no matter what you do there will always someone out there to hate on you.

   Does the internet have rules? I say it doesn’t nore should it. The internet is this place where people can annonymously say litterally anything and i dont think that they should be punished for it unless it can harm someone else.

   What a cyber bully is is someone who bullies someone over the internet because they think they can get away with it. The most likely reason they do it is that they think its funning and it gets a good reaction out of the victim.

   The two kinds of bullies is someone who does it on purpose and someone who does it by accident. The person who does it on purpose like i said wants to do it but the person who does it by accident has no idea it affects the other person that way.

   Some advice that i can give so people arent harmed while using the internet is: dont take anything too seriously. You need to know that the person on the other side typing at you is a sad human being who would rather be hurting someone else rather than doing something productive.

1. The internet has changed communication in a lot of ways, some better and some worse. We can communicate way easier but also people can bully a lot easier. People everywhere on the internet enjoy bullying people because they can get away with it and not many people care. But the people who do get bullied can get it bad, most people will think “Oh yeah i’m on the internet what should i expect” and do the same thing to the “bully”. I’ve seen cyberbullies because I spend a lot of time on the internet and you start to just ignore them.

2. Permanency lack of control and immediacy are things that you really have to watch out for because that’s also the stuff that you do the most on the internet. Even me having this class and learning it i still do all of those things. You really have to think twice before doing anything on the internet cause once its out its out. Immediacy affects people because

3. You could just post what you want to be known so you don't look like some weird guy or you could make two accounts one for your own stuff and one for what you want people to see as.

4. The internet doesn’t have rules. Websites have rules. Even if there were rules (which i don’t think there should be) people wouldn’t listen to them. I think people need this anonymous place to express their feelings on topics people and other things.

5. Cyberbullying is when someone tries to annoy people and acts like an internet troll.

6. Intentional cyber bullying and doing it by accident. If you're intentionally bullying someone it IS bullying but if you do it by accident and you may not even know your bullying them

7. Anyone who's a victim of cyberbullying just needs to think and know that the person bullying you has never met you so you shouldn't even be offended by it. For bullies i think they know they’re doing it and they probably won't stop but they should really think of how it could affect the other person. Any bystanders should go and talk to the victim privately to avoid getting bullied themselves

8. Don't share anything you wouldn't want someone you don't know to see, don't share anything you're self conscious of , ignore anything that you can see is bs, have fun, and have a thick skin
