JCOM - 2160

In a world full of new technology, new ideas, and new rules, there is still a simple list of things you should never do online. A word can change a sentence, a paragraph, and even someones opinion of you. An online reputation can take years to accomplish, yet with one wrong post, one little slip, it can all be taken away. You can be put on the 'black list.' Some have used the term, "Conversational Terrorism." The word terrorism brings in a whole new meaning to how we should act through our words on the web. It really all funnels down to the simple Golden Rule we were all taught.  Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Find your voice in text, make sure it is understandable and not offensive and try to better the world by how you utilize the internet.
