Technology and Manners (01:51)

FREE PREVIEW

Guests talk about technological rudeness, such as texting at social gatherings. We conduct many relationships online, where rules and manners are unclear.

Guidelines for Online Manners (01:58)

Put people before technology. Do not interfere with other people's rights. Anyone may see anything you put online.

Communication (01:11)

In the past, people were forced to find something to talk about during awkward silence. Today the silence leads to phone usage.

Phone Etiquette (01:54)

Turn off your phone in settings where it would be disruptive, or follow etiquette when expecting an important call. Respect people's privacy when taking pictures.

Texting Etiquette (01:47)

Avoid texting when you should interact with the people you are with, even if your friends tolerate it.

Written Online Messages (01:36)

Remember that anyone may see your written messages. Check for auto correct errors. Avoid angry messages, forwarding private messages, and sexting. Never end a relationship by text.

Facebook Etiquette (02:02)

Guests talk about behavior on Facebook that they dislike. Consider how others may interpret something you write differently than you intend.
