DC Rights & Responsibilities

Karen Wise
In our digital world we should have the rights: To communicate and/or collaborate with others on a personal and/or professional level. We should be able to search out information on various subjects; past, present, and future.
In our digital world we should also know our responsibilities when using our technologies, to enable everyone to be safe. We should have privacy and free speech, but we should act ethically and have limits. For example, be kind, consider others opinions, don't steal, or intrude.
Before we drive a vehicle, we must get a driver's license and understand the rules of the road. We don't just get the keys handed to us and have someone say "good luck".
In the video: "What is Digital Citizenship?", Mike Ribble compared life in the western frontier days to the current Internet "digital frontier". We need to remember that technology is constantly changing, and we must be good digital citizens for it to work well for all.
