Communication Compass (Assignment One)

1.Electronic exchanging of information is digital communication.
2. Four digital communication advantages are, keep in contact with people at all times, makes it easy to keep and eye on things such as your kids, it makes it easy to connect with people from all around the world no time and paper is wasted with writing letters.The four digital communication disadvantages are, people can hack into your digital life, you often don't think about what you are writing before you hit send, it is unreliable because it can not be recognized by a signature, and it makes your work portable so it then consumes peoples lives.
3. Three forms of digital communication that are popular today are, Email, cellphones/texting and video chatting. These three are the most popular because they are the most up to date and convenient, they allow technology right at our fingertips where and when we want it.
 4. Three forms of digital communication I think will not be around much longer are my space/email, different forms of social media, and land lines. I think these will no longer be around because we are growing around new forms of technology and the old stuff is growing old and nobody uses it.
5. Five locations where we should really not use digital communication are work place, at dinner/family gatherings, with close friends, with family that lives close to you, and school.
6. Two forms of digital communication that represent the greatest dangers are cyber bulling/bulling/internet abuse, and lack of privacy and security. These can easily occur when using the internet, bullies rarely think before they type and don't know what they say really can effect someone, also it is very easy for someone to get your personal information via the internet and on your social media accounts without you realizing.
7. I think human kids with continue to be more and more connected, they will grow up on technology and will never learn to live without it, they will rely on it, and the will become obsessed. I think this because once you have something in your life for such a long time everyday it becomes to imagine your life without it. So they would rather die than give up their cellphones.
8. If a person were to die and leave behind all their online communications I think they should put it in their will what they want done with their belongings, whether or not they want it destroyed or contributed to the internet. If they die unexpectedly then I think it should be up to their loved ones what to do with the information, for example if they didn't have the passwords then the online communication should be destroyed. I think what they want done with their digital communications should be entirely up to them, it's their work and it should be their choice.
