Computer Breakthroughs

     In this techie world, computers now play a significant role in our lives. It makes our life easier and faster most especially to students like me. Actually, I am a newbie in the computer world and I owe this to my Computer Teacher. He thought us on how to use the computer and most especially to the cyberworld that help us in doing our school tasks like assignments, projects and some researches. He also told us that we have to be responsible in using it especially when copying informations on the net because if we neglect every rules on it, we might be subjected to plagiarism which is the unauthorized getting of information without the consent of the author. So as a responsible user, we must follow the following rules according to Virginia Shea: 

  • Remember the human.
  • Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life.
  • Know where you are in cyberspace.
  • Respect other people's time and bandwidth.
  • Make yourself look good online.
  • Share expert knowledge.
  • Help keep flame wars under control.
  • Respect other people's privacy.
  • Don't abuse your power.
  • Be forgiving of other people's mistake. 
     So I hope that you will not just read everything stated above but you will see it with understanding to be a responsible Netizen.
