We use social networks to connect with others that we may not be able to see everyday. Just as we follow the laws in reality, we should do the same on the internet. Today we face a new way of bullying. Cyber bullying happens in the internet. People can most harmful things about others. We as a community of technology users can help prevent that. Working together on the internet can setup an example for our future users. We can cite, and follow all the guidelines for the internet. We should thank people for taking the time to post valuable information for everyone.  The rules that are posted are for copy right reasons. People should receive credit for the work that they've done.  By us using the internet by example others will follow us by doing the same.We can use rubrics to help us make sure the information we are using is accurate. People can put on the internet things that are not correct.  We all can post reviews to help one another avoid these kinds of websites. Following the rules can help keep spams and virus away. Reducing the number of spams and virus that we get can help make sure the computer is running the way it should. People can make a difference by using the internet safely and correctly.
