W6. How important is it to be civil online on the Internet?

 I think online activities must be going to become collaborative in any way. Online users cannot ignore other users. Internet is another society where people can share their opinions or even their daily life. And people expect to receive help by asking questions or searching information. The information on Internet is given from other Internet users. That's why being civil is important. While using Internet, we have to interact with others. If we are not civil online, the internet environment can be damaged and it is not easy to work collaboratively. Being civil is important especially for collective intelligence like Wikipedia. People should be able to express their opinions openly, and respectful reactions can encourage more active discussions. I think this attitude can be an important point to keep online community.

  1. I agree on your saying about the online world is going to be collaborative anyway and so we can't ignore others. Internet is just another world where people are kind of individual, but it's much closer than the real world sometimes.
