Netiquette rule nr 6 - Share expert knowledge!

 Netiquette rule nr 6 - Share expert knowledge!


I am an IT student, so when I saw this rule my first thought was  “STACKOVERFLOW!!!”.

I feel sorry for mom, who studied programming a long time ago before 2008. Without possibility to ask someone on the internet she must go to professor consultation or use trial and error methods. It's no need to tell that programmer life nowadays is a lot easier and faster than it was before question-and-answer websites like Stackoverflow became renowned.


I do remont in my house by myself, so when I saw this rule my second thought was  “YouTube!”.

I was never teached how to use instrumen or do some building things. If there were no video instructions on YouTube, we would have to spend  money to hire professionals. But thanks to workers who share their expert knowledge, even amature like me did a pretty normal renovation by myself.


I am an EVE online player, so when I saw this rule my third thought was “Community!”.

Eve online is a VERY complicated game ( because that it even deserves an alternative name - Excel table online). And in-game tutorials do not help a lot. But thanks to the community, learning the game became a lot easier. You can always ask questions in help chat and get answers without trolling like “NOOB!” (partly because games are so complicated that even old players do not know everything and often ask questions in help chat). Also in the game are corporations(guilds) who named themself “Academy”. It's really in the game academy, where experienced players tech new pilots. That's why mostly what players know about the game is from the game community.

Ethics and IT

  Ethics and IT In the last post, I need to write about one of the online codes of ethics for IT. I chose to write about ITP mandatory code of ethics. Well, mostly just copy-paste the official info. The Institute of IT Professionals New Zealand Incorporated (ITP), a non-profit association of IT professionals in New Zealand. In order to obtain membership status, one must agree to the company's code of ethics.  The full Code of Ethics is made up of three components: The code itself, made up of the 8 Tenets Guidelines and Interpretation, to assist in interpretation of the Code Breaches and Disciplinary Process, defined within the IITP Bylaws The 8 Tenets: Good faith - Members shall treat people with dignity, good faith and equality, without discrimination; Integrity - Members shall act in the execution of their profession with integrity, dignity and honors to merit the trust of the community and the profession, and apply honesty, skill, judgement and initiative to contribute positiv

Introduction

So, if I want to get high mark (or at least positive) in the subject "Social, Professional and Ethical Aspects of IT", I need to write a post mostly every week. Sounds easy, but feels hard. Hope the themes of posts will be not too complicated. OK. My name is Mihhail and Welcome to my first blog! I wish you will enj... not suffer (to much) from reading this.😅

Trolling

  Trolling I am a kind, shy and naive boy. In other words - perfect target for trolling and cyberbullying. It's hard to imagine how cruel people can be, until you see it. And I see a lot of it Good thing - I am not “live” in the internet (not counting self-isolation period) and I am sort of easygoing, so I don't really care about idiots. But it still sometimes hurts me. I really fear for people who cannot be so easy about it. It's a real problem and we should fight with it. If we speak about the three components of Mitnick's formula - technology, training, rules - I am not sure that technology can be used to fight with it (if they are not going too far and not try to hack you). But training and rules can be very useful.  I already think that it's useless to try to educate trolls and bullies. We will never see their extinction. It means that people should be trained how to deal with them and rules about communication on the internet should be taught. People should kn
