Netiqueta: do not be troll and save the good ways on the Internet

We live in society and that means that we keep certain norms.We do not simply do what we want, but we keep in mind the community to which we belong.Since children, we have been taught certain basic norms so that the coexistence with others is possible.Rules based on respect, attention, education...But, here, we now live in a new world in which we spend more and more hours of our day: Internet.here, even if we don't see each other's faces, it is also essential to follow common rules for everyone .This is what the netiquette is about.

What is the netiquette?

The netiquette is, as its name implies, the tag that we keep on the net .It is not about putting on gloves to type or comb before leaving a comment, nobody is watching us.For this reason, it is more important than ever to keep certain rules of behavior, so that interactions with other users come to fruition.

Using the netiquette correctly is, in fact, going beyond the norms of civility that we have in our daily lives , with those with whom we live in our house, our work, our school..To the digital framework.If in our day to day we are respectful of others, if we do not insult anyone without more, if we are not rude or hurt who we cross the street, why do it with a person with whom we engage a relationship online?

Don't be troll me

Netiqueta: do not be troll and save the good ways on the Internet

Everything related to the netiquette, or good education on the Internet, becomes more important than ever in times when the troll runs through the network.Who is the troll? If we were little, we were afraid of the coconut, Count Dracula or the Teletubbies, now, as adults, we fear as a poison a being that wanders through the different websites.Well, it is not one, but many.is...to know which one.But his way of acting is based on annoying, even insulting another user who simply, was looking for a normal interaction.The troll is shielded in invisibility.No one sees his face or knows his name yel, ambushed in that anonymity finds satisfaction in hurting others .

If we live more and more on the network, it is because we find answers, information, answer questions , we learn about different issues, we absorb everything that digital culture has of good.So that all this will bear fruit as A healthy tree, the netiquette becomes fundamental.

The ten rules of the netiquette

The IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) is an international working group that regulates the processes and standards of the network so that different areas of it are standardized in a practical and efficient way.In 1995, this organization established ten basic rules for the netiquette.The rules of good Internet education .

Netiqueta: do not be troll and save the good ways on the Internet

We are all people. Same as in our day to day.We all have our little heart and sensitivity.Our parents taught us to respect others and treat them as we want to be treated..So the first rule of the netiqueta bets, neither more nor less, than to transfer this simple norm of coexistence to the digital framework.We must never forget that who is on the other side, despite the physical distance that can separate us and that we don't see each other's faces, is a person like us.

In the network as in the street .The second rule of the netiquette returns to focus on an obviousness that, by its simple simplicity, can ignore us.The rules of behavior, the standards of education in the network they have to be the same that we use in our day to day, with the people of our environment.The way we act with our neighbor, our baker or the man who drives the bus is the one we have to use on the Internet.And this not only includes being polite, but also doing nothing illegal, respecting privacy and copyright.

The netiquette depends on the context .Again, we can understand This rule with an application to ordinary life.We do not act in the same way when we are with our friends than with a stranger.Each space has its own way of interacting and knowing how to be.Each forum, chat, social network, has its own customs for what, before acting, is better to know what is the right way to do it.

Respect time and bandwidth .Time is money, we already know it.But not only ours, but also that of others.Therefore, the netiquette advises that our messages be clear, concise, manageable...So that the receiver can understand what we mean without having to invest more time than necessary.Also, we do not have to overwhelm our interlocutor to answer us.Each one has his own way of acting, If you express yourself, you need some time to assimilate a message...Another thing that the netiquette rejects is the fact of not answering a message that we know our interlocutor expects.

Our best face .Give the best of ourselves in each interaction.That means using good grammar and spelling, trying to express ourselves in a coherent and clear way.Be nice and friendly.we all like to like others, generate esteem and respect.To do this, when we are on the Internet, nothing better than taking care of our language and not being offensive.Without a doubt, we judge others by their way of writing; so let's not forget that they judge us too.

Netiqueta: do not be troll and save the good ways on the Internet

Sharing is living .One of the best things that the Internet has is all that knowledge that is at your fingertips.On any subject, there is an article, an opinion, a story.Share what we know is essential for the experience to be more enriching and productive, for the network to be an encyclopedia of tremendously useful and positive human knowledge.And it is not just about talking about what we know, but about what we have read and seen, of what others have given us.And, of course, if someone does not know something and you can help him, do it.Remember that you also learned it at the time

Debates, yes.Fights, no .How many fights do they occur per day on the Internet? Impossible to count them.And on any subject besides: politics, economy, religion...But also sports, series or characters of the heart.Trying to stay away from the discussions is a good principle that defends the netiquette.Again, it is based on respecting the opinions of others, not to attack, but to argue.And if others do, do not judge them for it.A moment of exaltation, we all have it.Besides, if we decide to intervene in a polemic issue, to know what we are talking about, not to launch messages because yes, but these have value for the debate, not to put more fire in the fire.

The privacy of the other .Just like when we go to a person's house, we do not enter their room and start to stir in their drawers, we must also respect others when we share a computer.Do not read your emails, do not search your files, do not inquire into your private messages...And again, we go to the basic rule: Do not do to others what we would not like them to do to us.

The abuse of power .On the network, some people know more than others about programs, systems, software, hardware...Having this knowledge can give us an advantage over other than ever we must play against it.Or said in a very simple way: We cannot take advantage of another because we know less that we, on the other hand, have a greater knowledge on a subject should make us more responsible.

Errare humanum est .Our ancestors already said it and that they had no computers, neither Facebook nor Snapchat.We were all wrong and what the netiqueta tells us (and the day-to-day education that , again, it is totally applicable) is that we should not condemn someone for erring.Among other things, because another day it can happen to us and, as usual, we suffer enough to have been wrong to be remembered every two times.for three.

Internet of plants: a tomato knows as much about networks as you

The possibility of plant species communicating through complex networks, what some scientists have called the internet of plants , is an issue that has been discussed for a long time, at least 20 years.It was in 1997 when the scientist Suzanne Simard , from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver (Canada), published a study in the journal Nature on how Forest plants use complex systems where species exchange nutrients, send warning signals and relate to the environment. Although there is no scientific consensus, several investigations seem to support this hypothesis.If confirmed, as we read in a fascinating report by the Sinc Agency, the forests would act as huge structures that are articulated under the soil through a network in which factors invisible to the human eye interact and can determine the future of the climate.Understanding how it works is the challenge that even science faces. internet of plants and the wisdom of forests The premise of Suzanne Simard ...

New setbacks for conspiranoicos: radiofrequencies do not affect health

New evidence published by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Radio Frequency and Health (CCARS) in its 2016 Radio Frequency and Health Report indicates that there are no adverse health effects derived of exposure to radio frequencies emitted by mobile phone antennas or radio and television broadcasting.No evidence has been found on the danger in wireless systems (Wi-Fi) or airport scanners.

Twitter shows the best of ourselves (it wasn't always going to be the worst)

In the era of social networks, accustomed to interact daily with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google or WhatsApp, we forget that these tools are phenomenal in the History of Humanity capable of mobilize hundreds of thousands of people in very different geographical locations in a matter of hours or even minutes. Already in the past, Twitter has asserted its more social dimension to mobilize people, companies or organizations and also, from a broader perspective, feelings of solidarity and support or also of rejection and repulses towards causes with an important mediatic impact.Recently, Twitter was once again the engine of solidarity after Dortmund's explosions as the Borussia Dortmund team bus passed on its way to the local stadium on the occasion of the Champions League match between the Borussia and the Monaco. These explosions did not have the devastating effect that they could have caused , so that everything remained in a major social commotion at international lev...

Most apps for children violate your privacy

Do you know if apps with which children enjoy their safety? A team of researchers from the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) of the University of Berkeley has studied compliance with the Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in these mobile applications for the little ones, through a scalable dynamic analysis that allows the automatic evaluation of privacy behaviors of Android apps. After studying 5,855 applications aimed at children, the research concludes that most of these apps, 57%, violate the privacy of their users mainly due to the use of data by third parties. apps for children and privacy Although many apps offer options in their configuration to respect the federal law that protects minors in the United States, by disabling tracking, their results suggest that a majority of applications either do not use these options or propagate them in wrong way. In addition, researchers believe that 19% of apps for children send user IDs to third parties to show ...

Are social networks damaging democracy?

The revelations according to which Russian agents inserted ads on Facebook that tried to influence the 2016 US elections raise a disturbing question: is Facebook bad for democracy? As an expert in the social and political repercussions of technology, I think that the problem is not exclusively from Facebook, but that it is much broader: Social networks are weakening some of the conditions that have historically enabled the existence of national states democratic. I understand that it is a dramatic statement, and I do not expect anyone to believe it immediately, but considering that almost half of all potential voters received false news promoted by the Russians in Facebook is an argument that must be debated. Associate Professor of Philosophy, Director of Center for Professional and Applied Ethics, University of North Carolina-Charlotte How we create a shared reality Let's start with two concepts: the "imagined community" and the "bubble filter". ...
