The Importance of Online Etiquette

The internet, like many other things in life, can be abused.  We are hearing more and more stories in the news everyday of how people abuse it.  If people do not start using proper etiquette in the online environment, the interenet which is supposed to be free flowing with information, will become more restricted.  Online etiquette is important to ensure that the internet continues to be the imformation super highway for everyone who uses it.

The most important way that I follow this concept is by not posting anything that I will regret later.  It is much easier to post something over the internet because you are behind closed doors and the consequences of the action are not immediately felt.  This does not mean that there will not be serious consequences so we should all take the time to cool down before we do something that we regret.
