Norms and Responsibilities

Sheila
What user rights do you feel should be part of the norms in this digital world and what user responsibilities do you feel should be expressed in the digital world?

I feel privacy is the most important right we should have as citizens in the digital world. It becomes increasingly hard to maintain privacy in the world of technology today, especially with social media. Too many people, young and old are abusing technology and the anonymity that comes with using it. When I see teachers getting their class lists in the fall and then scanning Facebook to scope out families in their class I am saddened by that activity. It is a prejudgment placed on people before they even walk through the classroom door. That same anonymity causes people to post comments that they would never say face to face.  I feel people need to be held accountable for their actions when using technology and respect the privacy of others.
