When I think of digital responsibilities, I think of social skills. Growing up we are taught how to behave in various social settings. Weddings, funerals, birthday parties, family gatherings, and so on. I believe digital the digital world has the same complex “social” settings. The responsibility not only rests on those using or accessing the digital world but it also falls upon those who provide access. Parents should be supervising and teaching their children on proper use. Just as they would when they all go to Aunt Harriet’s birthday party. Schools should also be guiding and educating students on proper access/behavior to the digital world.
We are still learning how best to educate others about this. There are so many of us out there who have not had access to the digital world since birth. It is our children and children’s children who will be setting the norms. And the sooner they are able to understand that there are rights and responsibilities to accessing the digital world, they can become better digital citizens.
