Everyone has met that angry person who posts something offensive. It's cowardly because many people use the internet in ways to communicate that they would never do in person. Suddenly, veiled by the black screen, people find the boldness to do things they would never do face to face. Being a good digital citizen is important because it values technology as a tool, it values the uniqueness of others, and it promotes healthy boundaries of communication.

We are responsible for what we do with the gift of technology.
