Why is it important? PRIVACY PLAGIARISM COMMUNICATION SAFETY COPYRIGHT CITATIONS BULLYING ACCURATE RELATIONSHIPS RELIABLE SOURCES REPUTATION IMAGE

Why is it important? How can I convince my friend that he mistook the tone of my e-mail without him getting even angrier? Where can I turn if my computer or cell phone is hacked? How can I support someone who’s being cyberbullied without becoming a victim myself? If Wikipedia is an unreliable source, why is it so popular? Why can musicians create mashups of different songs but I can’t use paragraphs from different articles to write a paper? Will government legislation limit what I can do on the Internet? What does it mean to have a digital footprint?
