my opinon of English is that it is a necessary matter, you learn the basics and important to have at least the knowledge, language, fluently to speak it, is an important language, but I do not like to talk much, but I like Like language.
With respect to the course, I learned to better use the tools of technology, to how to make good searches on the internet, to express myself in English writing it on Blog's, also learned to speak more fluently, and learned how important it can be this language , also could have more participation with my classmates.

~ Netiquette

Definition Netiquette:

"Netiquette", or net etiquette, refers to etiquette on the Internte. Good netiquette involves respecting others privacy and not doing anything online that will annoy or frustrate other people.
Three areas where good netiquette is high stressed are e-mail, online chat, and newsgroups.
For example, people that spam other users with unwanted e-mail or flood the with messages have very bad netiquette. You don't want to be one of those people.
If you're new to observe how people communicate with each before jumping in.

THE TEN RULES OF NETIQUETTE:

• Rule 1: Remember the Human

• Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life

• Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace

• Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidth

• Rule 5: Make yourself look good online

• Rule 6: Share expert knowledge

• Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under control

• Rule 8: Respect other people's privacy

• Rule 9: Don't abuse your power

• Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes

• Rule 1: Remember the Human:
  The golden rule your parents and your kindergarten teacher taught you was pretty simple: Do unto others as you'd have others do unto you. Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes. Stand up for yourself, but try not to hurt people's feelings.
  
  In cyberspace, we state this in an even more basic manner: Remember the human.
  
  When you communicate electronically, all you see is a computer screen. You don't have the opportunity to use facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice to communicate your meaning; words -- lonely written words -- are all you've got. And that goes for your correspondent as well.
  
  When you're holding a conversation online -- whether it's an email exchange or a response to a discussion group posting -- it's easy to misinterpret your correspondent's meaning. And it's frighteningly easy to forget that your correspondent is a person with feelings more or less like your own.
   
• Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life:
  In real life, most people are fairly law-abiding, either by disposition or because we're afraid of getting caught. In cyberspace, the chances of getting caught sometimes seem slim. And, perhaps because people sometimes forget that there's a human being on the other side of the computer, some people think that a lower standard of ethics or personal behavior is acceptable in cyberspace.
  
  The confusion may be understandable, but these people are mistaken. Standards of behavior may be different in some areas of cyberspace, but they are not lower than in real life.
  
• Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace:
  Netiquette varies from domain to domain
  
  What's perfectly acceptable in one area may be dreadfully rude in another. For example, in most TV discussion groups, passing on idle gossip is perfectly permissible. But throwing around unsubstantiated rumors in a journalists' mailing list will make you very unpopular there.
  
  And because Netiquette is different in different places, it's important to know where you are. Thus the next corollary:
  
  Lurk before you leap
  
  When you enter a domain of cyberspace that's new to you, take a look around. Spend a while listening to the chat or reading the archives. Get a sense of how the people who are already there act. Then go ahead and participate.
  

• Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidth:It's a cliché that people today seem to have less time than ever before, even though (or perhaps because) we sleep less and have more labor-saving devices than our grandparents did. When you send email or post to a discussion group, you're taking up other people's time (or hoping to). It's your responsibility to ensure that the time they spend reading your posting isn't wasted.
  
  The word "bandwidth" is sometimes used synonymously with time, but it's really a different thing. Bandwidth is the information-carrying capacity of the wires and channels that connect everyone in cyberspace. There's a limit to the amount of data that any piece of wiring can carry at any given moment -- even a state-of-the-art fiber-optic cable. The word "bandwidth" is also sometimes used to refer to the storage capacity of a host system. When you accidentally post the same note to the same newsgroup five times, you are wasting both time (of the people who check all five copies of the posting) and bandwidth (by sending repetitive information over the wires and requiring it to be stored somewhere).
  

• Rule 5: Make yourself look good online:Take advantage of your anonymity
  
  I don't want to give the impression that the net is a cold, cruel place full of people who just can't wait to insult each other. As in the world at large, most people who communicate online just want to be liked. Networks -- particularly discussion groups -- let you reach out to people you'd otherwise never meet. And none of them can see you. You won't be judged by the color of your skin, eyes, or hair, your weight, your age, or your clothing.
  
  You will, however, be judged by the quality of your writing. For most people who choose to communicate online, this is an advantage; if they didn't enjoy using the written word, they wouldn't be there. So spelling and grammar do count.
  

• Rule 6: Share expert knowledge:
  Finally, after all that negativity, some positive advice.
  
  The strength of cyberspace is in its numbers. The reason asking questions online works is that a lot of knowledgeable people are reading the questions. And if even a few of them offer intelligent answers, the sum total of world knowledge increases. The Internet itself was founded and grew because scientists wanted to share information. Gradually, the rest of us got in on the act.
  
  So do your part. Despite the long lists of no-no's in this book, you do have something to offer. Don't be afraid to share what you know.
  
  It's especially polite to share the results of your questions with others. When you anticipate that you'll get a lot of answers to a question, or when you post a question to a discussion group that you don't visit often, it's customary to request replies by email instead of to the group. When you get all those responses, write up a summary and post it to the discussion group. That way, everyone benefits from the experts who took the time to write to you.
  

• Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under control:
  "Flaming" is what people do when they express a strongly held opinion without holding back any emotion. It's the kind of message that makes people respond, "Oh come on, tell us how you really feel." Tact is not its objective.
  
  Does Netiquette forbid flaming? Not at all. Flaming is a long-standing network tradition (and Netiquette never messes with tradition). Flames can be lots of fun, both to write and to read. And the recipients of flames sometimes deserve the heat.
  
  But Netiquette does forbid the perpetuation of flame wars -- series of angry letters, most of them from two or three people directed toward each other, that can dominate the tone and destroy the camaraderie of a discussion group. It's unfair to the other members of the group. And while flame wars can initially be amusing, they get boring very quickly to people who aren't involved in them. They're an unfair monopolization of bandwidth.
  

• Rule 8: Respect other people's privacy:
  Of course, you'd never dream of going through your colleagues' desk drawers. So naturally you wouldn't read their email either.
  
  Unfortunately, a lot of people would. Failing to respect other people's privacy is not just bad Netiquette. It could also cost you your job.
  

• Rule 9: Don't abuse your power:
  Some people in cyberspace have more power than others. There are wizards in MUDs (multi-user dungeons), experts in every office, and system administrators in every system.
  
  Knowing more than others, or having more power than they do, does not give you the right to take advantage of them. For example, sysadmins should never read private email.
  

• Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes:Everyone was a network newbie once. And not everyone has had the benefit of reading this book. So when someone makes a mistake -- whether it's a spelling error or a spelling flame, a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer -- be kind about it. If it's a minor error, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before reacting. Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else.
  
  If you do decide to inform someone of a mistake, point it out politely, and preferably by private email rather than in public. Give people the benefit of the doubt; assume they just don't know any better. And never be arrogant or self-righteous about it. Just as it's a law of nature that spelling flames always contain spelling errors, notes pointing out Netiquette violations are often examples of poor Netiquette.
  In my opinion towards netiquette rules, it seems very good general rules corportamiento internet and virtual communication, which seems fair that they have, but rarely take into account these rules, and many do not have the information or the interest to know them.

Because the computer is moving faster than the law, there are computer inland criminal conduct can not be considered as a crime, according to the "theory of crime" and therefore defined as computer abuse and computer crime.
For example:

• Obscene or offensive

The content of a website or other media may be obscene or offensive for a range of reasons. In some cases, such content may be illegal. Similarly, there is no universal legal rules and legal regulations may vary from country to country.
Some jurisdictions limit explicitly prohibit certain speech and racism, political subversion, promoting violence, sedition and the material that incites hatred and crime.

This happens usually in chat channels, groups or sending emails destined exclusively to offend.

• Drug trafficking

Drug traffickers are increasingly taking advantage of the Internet to sell their illegal substances through encrypted e-mail and other Internet Technology. Some drug traffickers arrange deals at internet cafes, use courier Web sites to track illegal packages of pills, and swap recipes for amphetamines in restricted-access chat rooms.

The rise in Internet drug trades could also be attributed to the lack of face-to-face communication. These virtual exchanges allow more intimidated individuals to more comfortably purchase illegal drugs. The sketchy effects that are often associated with drug trades are severely minimized and the filtering process that comes with physical interaction fades away.

• Threats, Intimidation

Although freedom of speech is protected by law in most democratic societies (in US this is done by First Amendment) that does not include all types of speech. In fact spoken or written "true threat" speech/text is criminalized because of "intent to harm or intimidate", that also applies for online or any type of network related threats in written text or speech

 Altering in an unauthorized way. This requires little technical expertise and is not an uncommon form of theft by employees altering the data before entry or entering false data, or by entering unauthorized instructions or using unauthorized processes;
    Altering, destroying, suppressing, or stealing output, usually to conceal unauthorized transactions: this is difficult to detect;
    Altering or deleting stored data;
    Altering or misusing existing system tools or software packages, or altering or writing code for fraudulent purposes.
Other forms of fraud may be facilitated using computer systems, including bank fraud, identity theft, extortion, and theft of classified information.

• Cyber warfare

Sailors analyze, detect and defensively respond to unauthorized activity within U.S. Navy information systems and computer networks.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) notes that cyberspace has emerged as a national-level concern through several recent events of geo-strategic significance. Among those are included the attack on Estonia's infrastructure in 2007, allegedly by Russian hackers. "In August 2008, Russia again allegedly conducted cyber attacks, this time in a coordinated and synchronized kinetic and non-kinetic campaign against the country of Georgia. Fearing that such attacks may become the norm in future warfare among nation-states, the concept of cyberspace operations impacts and will be adapted by warfighting military commanders in the future.

My Experience on Facebook

My experience on Facebook, it was not that bad.
The good that I find having a Facebook account is that to move from where he hived, after a few years I found old friend, and also add to the current, and keep contact has also been useful to communicate with relatives in Chile, is good to keep in touch, then another useful publications and share what one likes, that's the positive that you have the Facebook sack.
The negative part is that you call it so is exposed to that you remove your informatio, or make a note with all the details of one, or even people you do not know add perhaps most a added you to have a lot of friend in Facebook which makes it popular, but sometimes people you accept and harass, but luckyly so far never happened to me but thinking.
Another negative point is that one goes on as if it were drug on Facebook, it's like an addiction and you do not screen out.
But in conclusion, my experience is not bad. I have communicated with friends and had fun.
