Chapter 2
Expectations: I expect to learn about the scope, anonymity, reproducibility in this chapter.
Book Review:
The author of this chapter is Deborah G. Johnson. Scope, anonymity and reproducibility
are the special characteristics of communication in networks, with the help of these three, we
can use communication such as telephone, fax, mass media and other communication devices.
From what I have read, it is said that the law and the technology will not be enough to find a
way to solve the problems just by the internet compared to offline. There are some rules stated
first is to “know the rules of the forums in which you communicate and follow them”, second is
to “respect the privacy and property rights of others, when in doubt, assume the user wants
privacy and ownership”, lastly is to “respect the individuals with whom you communicate and
those who are affected by your communication; that is , do not deceive, defame or harass”.
These are the three general rules of communication.
Integrity Questions:
1) What is scope?
2) What is anonymity?
3) What is reproducibility?
