clothing, cars, food, etc. has become commonplace to many
users.
-An equal amount of goods and services which are in
conflict with the laws or morals of some countries are
surfacing (Illegal downloading, pornography, and

6. Digital Communication:
One of the significant changes within the digital revolution
is a person’s ability to communicate with other people:

to offer a wide variety of choices (e.g., e-mail, cellular
phones, instant messaging).
-The options have changed everything because people are
able to keep in constant communication with anyone else.

an organization, there is still a lot to be done.

technological ideas are making their way into the world of
working.

9. EXAMPLE: Computer Apps
In Computer Applications

learn how to use the
computer and its programs,
but also how to be safe on
social networking sites.
10. Digital Etiquette
- This is basically the appropriate conduct that people
should have when on a specific social networking site.
- Each site has its own specific digital etiquette.
- This must be taught to people rather than simply
adding rules about it.
- Many people may not even know what appropriate
conduct should be followed when online. That is why it
should be taught
13. Digital Law
This means the responsibility you have to own up to
your own actions while online. Ethical use while online
means to follow the rules and unethical rules are the
opposite.
Stealing or causing harm to another person's work,
identity, or property online is a crime. There are specific
rules of society that people need to know about in an ethical
society. The rules apply to all people that play or work
online.
14. EXAMPLE: Spoofing :(
Spoofing: convincing someone
to give you personal
information so that you can
cause them harm

you their credit card number
and you steal all of their
money
15. Digital Rights & Responsibilities
Those freedoms extended to everyone in a digital world.
-There is a basic set of rights extended to every
digital citizen.
-Digital citizens have the right to privacy, free
speech, etc.
-Users must help define how the technology is
to be used in an appropriate manner.
17. Example:

taught how to protect themselves through education and

19. Example: Email Stress
-Email is constant stress for everyone. They can't catch
up because of constant emails from stores, buisnesses, and
people.
-Emails also cause stress from people having multiple
emails for multiple things.
-This stresses people out and makes people feel like they
are letting people down. That can then lead to depression
from letting people feel like they are hurting somebody or
doing something wrong.
20. Digital Security
electronic precautions to guarantee safety.
-In any society, there are individuals who steal, deface,
or disrupt other people. The same is true for the digital
community.
-We need to have virus protection, backups of data, and
surge control of our equipment.
-As responsible citizens, we must protect our information
from outside forces that might cause disruption or harm.
21. Example: Norton
-Norton is a virus protection software.
-This is extremely important.
-Viruses can hack information and ruin your
computer.
