The internet in particular and technology in general will continue to grow and become an increasingly larger part of our lives, just look at facebook and the effect this has had on the population life has become more public rather than private. Everytime you log onto the internet whether you use an iphone, ipad or computer your privacy may be compromised and most people are unaware.

The importance of your privacy online today is more important than ever before with millions of people carrying or using internet devices.

It is important to think prior to posting anything on the internet as once it is released it is very difficult to control what someone else may do with that information. Some guidelines to keeping safe whilst using the internet are thinking prior to posting anything online, think before you post personal information on the net, keep passwords strong by using numbers and symbols and capitals, smartphones can pinpoint your location and publish this online telling the world where you are. Using privacy settings to block unwanted user’s, install security software, turn on automatic updates on all your software.

Be vary wary about opening email attachments from your inbox if you do not recognize the sender it is probably safer to delete the item. The internet and social sites are a wonderful tool to keep abreast of the world and to make new friends, but is also a world to be very wary of  and to take all precautions that are necessary to keep yourself safe and to keep private information private.

Learning Activity 02 Email Etiquette

Learning Activity 02 – Email Etiquette

I always use a subject line as this is really just a courtesy thing, I don’t like when people cry wolf by making their emails high priority for really no reason. I try to summarize my emails as much as possible making them brief and to the point, manners in emails I consider are very important and relevant to any email whether it is business or social. Replies are a difficult one some require replies virtually immediately whilst others require thought before a response. I do hate the world we find ourselves in that most people expect a reply within minutes of forwarding their email to you. Emails between employee and employer should be used to summarize events or follow up but not replace the face to face meetings that should occur. Most importantly to remember when using email is that your recipient may not be the only person reading your correspondence, always be professional, never send angry or aggressive responses even if you think they may be justified. Email is a great tool to use and very useful for elaborating on a conversation when conversing with someone a great distance from you, although when someone is across the hall from you email is not the best tool to convey a message when face to face would be considered more appropriate.
