don't let your fear of not knowing cyber-protocol hold
you back.
Keep in mind that FAQs (Frequently Asked

Responsibility in a Virtual
World
The Internet is a strange and wonderful network that has
made it possible for people all around the world to
connect with each other in meaningful ways. Whether for
research, education, business, or fun, the Internet has
changed how many of us live, work, and play, in ways we
may not even be fully aware of.
As the Internet continues to evolve, so do the issues
that impact the way we use it. Whether you are the
consummate user or just an occasional driver on the
information super highway, you play a role in
determining the future direction of this road. From
privacy, security, and freedom of speech to honesty and
consideration in the way we interact with others, we all
have a responsibility to preserve and protect its unique
character. That means recognizing that while the medium
is in many ways a reflection of the physical world, it
is in other ways, fundamentally different -- manifesting
its own customs and practices.
