Journal Entry #4: Digital Etiquette


      When it comes to digital etiquette, what I find the most surprising is how easy it is for companies to have you agree to terms you do not agree with through their terms & conditions. No, I do not think that most internet users read or concern themselves with the terms and conditions agreements when joining a site or online service. I think people should be concerned and read all of the terms and conditions before signing up for a site in case there are some conditions in fine print that you do not agree with, or in case that company is trying to get information from it's users. I would say my online behavior is ranked at around a 7. This is because I myself honestly never really read the terms and conditions before agreeing and signing up for different sites or apps, and sometimes post things without really thinking that I regret posting later, although that doesn't happen too  often. One thing I will take away from this unit in order to improve my online behavior would be to look over the terms and conditions of websites before agreeing. Personally when it comes to digital etiquette in young people, I think the biggest issues would definitely be about Terms & Conditions like mentioned above, and following the '5 Social Media rules for Teens and Tweens.'

My Basic Automobile Design

Freeze Machine*         I decided to use a van/SUV type of body style to base my design off of, I got the idea of designing a little ice cream truck then went from there. Some features that I would want included in the final design that I may not have been able to include in this basic first phase design are just little things like doors on the sides and in the back, a sliding door that opens up the side window, and added details on things like the ice cream cone on the top. I will name my car the Freeze Machine* and I think perhaps an ice cream company paired with any car manufacturer would be best suited to introduce my car into the industry. Any type of driver that sells ice cream would most likely find my car appealing as it would attract attention to their company. I would place this assignment at a 6/10 for difficulty as it took a bit of time to get used to Tinkercad's controls and to come up with a creative idea for the design.

Journal Entry #3: Digital Rights and Responsibilities

      What I find to be the most surprising when it comes to digital rights and responsibilities is how little people pay attention to them. Many times, as I am scrolling through Facebook or Instagram,  I see so many disrespectful comments, post and statuses, sometimes even directed towards specific people. However, I do believe that most people do act responsibly online, posting to share with their friends and family, commenting positive things, and thinking before they post.  If I had to pick one commandment out of the ten I created, the most important to me would be,  " Thou shall respect people of other languages, cultures, sexual orientation and religion while online." I think this one is the most important as I see the most hate spread about these topics on social medias. Among young people , I think the biggest issue surrounding digital rights and responsibilities is respect and privacy. These days it seems people are not satisfied with living th...
