Etiquette in technology
Etiquette in technology, colloquially referred to as netiquette, is a term used to refer to the unofficial code of policies that encourage good behavior on the Internet which is used to regulate respect and polite behavior on social media platforms, online chatting sites, web forums, and other online engagement websites.
It can be a challenge to communicate on the Internet without misunderstandings mainly because input from facial expressions and body language is absent in cyberspace.
Another rule is to avoid typing in all caps or excessively enlarging script for emphasis, which is considered to be the equivalent of shouting or yelling.
Other commonly shared points, such as remembering that one's posts are (or can easily be made) public, are generally intuitively understood by publishers of Web pages and posters to Usenet, although this rule is somewhat flexible depending on the environment.
On the day that the e-mail was posted to Yahoo!, Cerner's stock price fell by over 22%[5] from a high market capitalization of US$1.5 billion.
[6] Beyond matters of basic courtesy and privacy, e-mail syntax (defined by RFC 2822) allows for different types of recipients.
[7] Likewise, misuse of the CC: functions in lieu of traditional mailing lists can result in serious technical issues.
Postings to a noticeboard should be written clearly and concisely, use proper grammar and Korean spelling, and avoid excessive refutation of other people's writings.
When chatting, you should introduce yourself first, engage in conversation, use the title "Nim," and do not slander, abuse, or make sarcastic remarks.
[22] Most schools in the United States, Europe and Canada have prohibited mobile phones in the classroom, citing class disruptions and the potential for cheating via text messaging.
The main issue for most people is when they are in a group, and the cell phone becomes a distraction or a barrier for successful socialization among family and friends.
This is exemplified by the widespread recognition of campaigns such as Stop Phubbing,[1] which prompted discussion as to how mobile phones should be used in the presence of others.
Some book shops, libraries, bathrooms, cinemas, doctors' offices and places of worship prohibit their use, so that other patrons will not be disturbed by conversations.
[28][29] When critically assessing the family structure, it is important to examine the parent/child negotiations which occur in the household, in relation to the increased use of cell phones.
Children are often so closely affiliated with their technological gadgets, and they tend to interact with their friends constantly and this has a negative impact on their relationship with their parents (Williams 2005:326).
The mobile phone has now been integrated into family practices and perpetuated a wider concern which is the fracture between parent and child relationships.
One way of social control is limiting the time spent interacting with friends, which is difficult to do in today's society because of the rapid use of cell phones.
Cell phone etiquette is largely dependent on the cultural context and what is deemed to be socially acceptable.
In addition, cell phone etiquette also encompasses the various types of activities which are occurring and the nature of the messages which are being sent.
Conversely, in chat rooms, instant messaging apps, texting, and other text-based communication, signals that would indicate a person's emotional state are absent.
Now, as newer modes of communication become increasingly common, apps such as Snapchat are growing to develop platform-specific rules and etiquette.
