Part I - Introduction
Digital
etiquette or netiquette as it is sometimes called, is a basic set of
rules you should follow in order to make the internet better for others,
and better for you. It's just as important to treat people with
courtesy and respect online as it is in real life. When you instant
message, chat, or email someone over the Internet, they can't see your
face to tell if you're teasing them or saying something in jest. How do
you practice good Netiquette? It's simple � just treat others as you
want to be treated � with courtesy and respect. People know these rules
but usually do not follow them when using the Internet. This includes
hacking others computer, downloading illegally, plagiarism, and using
bad language on the Internet.
