While they are many positives of remaining connected, its easily the negatives that are the more relative and important to note."Misbehavior runs rampant because people are scared and hide behind the wall that is the Internet. People conclude that no one can see them, they have anonymity on their side, and so they can do whatever they want." This could not have been said better and I believe this to be the main reason for the "mob" mentality so prevalent on the internet these days. What Mike finally notes is that personal etiquette is not carried over into the online realm, this is readily seen. My addition to that it that most of these people who are posting under anonymity and saying hurtful things wouldn't dream of doing so otherwise if the information were public. This is a problem that the future users will have to address. Do we add more accountability to the users themselves or do when begin to censor and even limit what people can do on the internet? This remains to be seen.Jacob Allamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16803923800084177932noreply@blogger.com
