Have you ever thought that the “like” that you press may hurt one of them? Or that “your digital silence” is on a message, translates to the other side as an insult? At a time when our relationships have passed through the screens, it becomes necessary to stop a little and ask: Are we good at using our digital tools politely? Let’s say now, welcome to the world of digital etiquette … the world of ethics in the time of rapid clicks .. a world of behaviors that are not taught in schools, but it makes a difference in every electronic conversation that we do
Digital etiquette is the art of polite and responsible dealing in digital environments, whether on social media, via e -mail, in WhatsApp groups, or during virtual meetings. It is the unwritten rules that show your respect for the other, even if you do not meet face to face. It is simply to be a “sophisticated” human in the virtual world, as you are in the real world or as it is assumed!
There are daily situations … revealing our digital morals! Like neglected blue message: How many times did you open a message and then ignored the response? In the world of digital etiquette, this is called “silent reading”. Fast response, or even apologizing for the delay, is the taste of taste.
Also in explosive public discussions can vary as you like, but do not scream via the keyboard. Nobody wins a comment full of anger, but everyone remembers those who have been politely discussed. Also, “crackling” and the ridiculous comments and cynicism are not always light blood. He succeeded every heart screen, and behind every postponed publication. Digital etiquette does not exclude the joke, but it sets a boundary that respects dignity.
On the other hand, the random signal (TAG) of people who does not belong to them is an anti -digital etiquette, so not every occasion requires that others be dragged towards them. Respecting privacy begins with a simple choice: “Is this suitable for them?”.
The truth is that the golden rules of digital etiquette include your ability to think before you publish. Nothing is really erased from the Internet, so make your mark digital .. but supervisor! You also have to ask permission before publishing about others. Filming your friend without his permission and publishing that .. It is considered a digital taste crime. And protect yourself .. and others. Do not send suspicious links, and (Share) do not share rumors. Part of “etiquette” is the digital responsibility.
Also, do not forget to adopt digital etiquette in digital interaction with others by choosing at the time of sending messages. Send a work message at 2 am? Sincere digital inconvenience. Also, be careful during the abbreviation, it is not always the abbreviation of intelligence. Writing “OK” in a response to a long message that may be understood as “lack” of attention and interaction. Do not summarize the feelings of others with one word.
The truth is that we need digital etiquette today more than ever because the boundaries between the “digital” and “realist” faded. Your words on the screen may open a friendship door, or close the heart forever. And in the digital world, others do not see your smile or tone of your voice .. All they have is your words. Let us make it sophisticated .. and be beautiful .. behind the screen! Digital etiquette is not a luxury, but rather a necessity in the time of permanent communications and continuous appearance. Every electronic interaction is an identification card for your person, and the history of your publications is your future CV, so be the person who is mentioned: “He was always polite, even via the Internet.”
