From the readings for this week I have learned a lot about my own misperceptions of the internet. When I read “the Core Rules of Netequitte,” I was surprised at the generality of the rules. I have imagined the web as an alternate universe. There aren’t any rule. It is more like reading a book than any sort of live interaction to me. I was surprised to learn about netequette. I learned that the web is more like a conversation. It has the same rules as reality. I have thought of it in the past as a place where people do and say whatever they want. There are ethics for internet users. I learned that the internet holds a lot more of human emotion than you can really see. One point that I found most interesting is that you shouldn’t waist peoples time. I learned that format does matter. There is a lot that can be left to an individual’s own interpretation since there is no emotional voice in the written word. You have to be specific and know what you are talking about, even if you are writing an e-mail. I learned a lot about e-mail. I learned the most about the differences in formality and politeness.
