1. Digital Communication

2. First and foremost; digital communication basically means the exchange of
information electronically.
It is the beef of the internet, everyone who has ever used the internet or
any other electrical devices has probably, at least once in their life done
something social, or collect information off the web. I for one am a
constant user, and I am huge on digital communications.

3. Wither you realize it or not, you are using digital communication. Just by
reading this sentence I am informing you with information, which in turn is
supplying you with knowledge.
Even if you ever emailed, talked to, or searched for on the internet or by
using an electrical device you are apart of a digital community. Which
means you have been doing some form of Digital Communication.

6. Digital communication is a great if used properly. Many people take
advantage of the opportunities that the internet offers.
There are tons of possibilities that are provided, you can keep in touch
with friends, family, and loved ones. You can get information on nearly
every topic ever invented. You can meet new people, do cool things, and
even learn a little when you surf the web. You can take online courses,
share you opinions and listen to the opinions of others. Join a forum on a
topic you find interesting, or something that intrigues you, or even better
yet, create your own website or forum! Let your thoughts be heard!
You can also find blogs that explain how to do something, or updates on
your topic of choice! One of my favourite blogs have to be 1000 awesome
things. Every time I go on the site I always find a reason to smile or laugh.
Check it out for your self!

7. Even though the internet is full of positive things, there is also things you must
watch out for.
The piratebay.org is an example of this. It is a person to person network where
anyone who creates an account can upload files for others to download. These
files can range from a variety of different things. Wither it’s games, movies or
music, you can find it there. But there is potential risk, since the website doesn’t
monitor what is placed on its servers people can upload dangerous files such as
virus. People can also upload content that they have no right to.
Scams are another hazard of the internet.

8. •Take extra precautions when downloading from other people ‘s servers.
•Don’t download programs or items that you are unsure about.
•Make sure you have a good anti-virus on your computer.
•Make sure you know you have the rights to what you are using or
downloading.
• Read the terms of use, even though they are long, tedious and boring.
