Mandatory IT109 Questions

1. Are you more or less likely to be misunderstood online? Why?

I believe that you are definitly more likely to be misunderstood online rather than in person. There are many reasons for this. First off what you write is essentiall set in stone, what you say is what you say. People will interpret what you write in thousands of different ways other than what the writers intention was. For Instance the writer could have been trying to use sarcasim in his words, while the reader could have interpreted it as an offensive comment. Audience is everything. You can never write a certain way online, as people will always interpret it another way.



2. What are two advantages of social networks?

I believe that social networks have many advantages. Communication is huge in our world today; we rely on it. One major advatage is that social networks offers the ability for people to stay in touch almost anywhere. This is especially good for staying in touch with someone that has moved away or just to stay in touch with friends and family. A second advantage of social networks is that they are a great way ot obtain feedback. With several people reading posts and commenting on various things, you can recieve a great deal of feedback on whatever you are talking about. This can help to improve an idea and get multiple points of view on a subject. Overall, social networking offers endless possibilities and opportunities.


3. What is an acceptable use policy? Who decides what constitutes acceptable use? What can happen if you violate an acceptable use policy?

An acceptable use policy, or AUP, is a set of rules applied by the owner or manager of a network, website, or large computer system. An AUP restricts the ways in which the network site or system may be used. The person who establishes the AUP constitutes acceptable use. The AUP holder sets forth in the policy law and regulations for which will be enforced when violated.
