What do you do online?

Online actions have offline consequences.

Music… In the real world would you: Be happy if the version of your favourite song was really bad quality ? Would it bother you if you played a song and as a result it caused expensive damage to your computer/CD player? Go into a shop and steal a CD? Be Ok if the music you played caused illegal content to appear on your computer? In the online world you are: Illegally downloading music covered by Copyright from peer to peer file sharing sites. Being fined a minimum of £1000 if you are caught. Often downloading viruses and illegal images onto your computers as a result of using these services. Able to discover and support new bands using sites like Myspace Able to legally listen to music for free on sites like Spotify, Last Fm and We7

Friends and Chat… In the real world: Would you just start talking to a random person on the street? You know who you are talking to It’s hard to pretend to be something you’re not. Its hard to say something nasty to someone's face. You can tell from body language and the tone of voice how people intend comments to be taken. In the online world you: Are more likely to start talking to someone you don’t know and add anyone to your friend lists. People aren’t always honest with who they are, their age or what they look like. 50%* young people find it easier being themselves on the internet than when they are face-to-face Are more likely to say hurtful and upsetting things – it’s not always clear when something's a joke. Can break down boundaries of place, time and cost. (*EU Kids Online Survey – S Livingstone 2010)

What you share… In the real world would you: Tell a complete stranger where you live, your full name, mobile number etc? Would you want over 500 million people to see a photo of you and your friends? Be happy if your friend shared a particularly unattractive photo of you with the whole school? Want your employer/ university/ teacher/ family to see everything you get up to on the weekend? In the online world you are: Often sharing personal information with people you don’t know. Posting photo’s and videos onto the biggest online billboards in the world Rarely asking permission to upload pictures of your friends – what if they don’t want the image online? If you don’t set your privacy settings – you never know who could see your content. Able to be creative and share content with friends and family across the world.
