A METAPHOR FOR DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP ?
It’s about relationships
A digital citizen commonly refers to a person utilizing information technology (IT) in order to engage in society, politics, and government participation. K. Mossberger, et al.[1] define digital citizens as "those who use the Internet regularly and effectively.”
• Because we don’t just consume media we now inhabit it.
• Many YP don’t distinguish between the offline and online.
SO... DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP is SUPREMELY RELEVANT TO
ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE.
We would add “and who takes responsibility to act safely, ethically and with compassion both online and offline.” WHY ?
"The web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for social effect - to help people work together - and not as a technical toy….
The ultimate goal of the web is to support and improve our web like existence in the world......
Tim Berners-Lee ‘Weaving the Web’ 1999
We have to ensure that the society we build with the web is the sort we intend.”
