OVERVIEW OF THE SUBJECT MATTER

The Services of the Internet

The internet has offered a wide range of features and services. Since its inception and
creation, the number of capabilities is just increasing significantly.
Electronic Mail
Popularly called email is certainly the most widely-known feature of the internet. Though email
was being used since then as part of the internet (Queen Elizabeth II actually created her first email
in 1976), it was only in 1977 that email was officially launched – when THEORYNET provided an
electronic mail system catering more than 100 computer science researchers.
*Components of the Email:
1. Compose – this button allows the user to create a new email message.
2. Inbox – this folder contains all the received and valid email messages
3. Delete – transfers messages to the trash folder.
4. Move – transfers messages into the desired folder.
5. Actions button – contain other commands that can be done on email messages like printing,
marking as read or unread, among others.
6. Drafts folder – contains outgoing email messages that were saved for the mean time but not
yet sent. These are usually recommended for documents for documents like resume or
curriculum vitae that need to be updated from time to time.
7. Sent folder – contains all the messages the sender transmits.
8. Spam – this term refers to unsolicited or junk mails. They are usually come from contacts that
the user does not know and even several of which contain viruses that may infects one’s email
or even computer.
9. Trash folder – contains deleted messages. This was created as a backup folder should there
be instances that the deleted messages need to be recovered. Trash can be cleared by clicking
the garbage bin icon on its right side. Once cleared, the documents removed can no longer be
retrieved.
10. Folders – new folders can be created so as to divide and categorize the email messages. They
make the inbox more organized rather that all messages congested in it. Users can set folders
in such a way that they need not to manually transfer the inbox messages to respective
folders.
*Components of an Email messages:
1. To – this is where the direct recipient(s)’s email addresses are encoded. If the recipients are
placed in this area, the sender usually expects a reply from them.
2. Cc – stands for Carbon Copy. This is where indirect recipients of the email message are
placed. This means the sender is just giving them a copy for information and reference
purposes only and is not expecting a reply.
3. Bcc – stands for Blind Carbon Copy. The purpose is the same with CC; however, the recipients
will not see the email addresses of those that are placed here. This is usually done for
confidentiality.
4. Subject – is the topic or purpose of the email.
5. Attachment – this is where files are being clipped along with the email. It can be documents,
slide presentations, video and audio.
6. Body – this is where the whole message is being typed; the work area. With the recent
developments, some emails have features leaning towards word processing programs plus the
emoticon commands.
7. Send – upon completing the email messages, clicking the send button allows transmission to
the recipients.

Chat and Video Conferencing

Chat is a digital conversation; it is talking to someone by typing statements over a

virtual room. Chat shortcuts make the conversations more convenient. These are initials,
acronyms, symbols or codes that convey ideas that easily understood. These are used in
chats, emails and even SMS messages.
 Shortcut Meaning Shortcut Meaning
BRB Be Right Back BRB Be Right Back

TGIF Thank God it’s Friday TGIF Thank God it’s Friday
XOXO Hugs and Kisses XOXO Hugs and Kisses
IC I See IC I See

Emoticons or smileys – add pizzazz to conversations and email. They convey the emotions
or feelings of the users. These emoticons have ASCII codes equivalents and once uploaded to the net
will appear as a unique emoticon character.

Video Conferencing – is one of the most-widely used technologies of multinational

corporations and families with members who are working outside the country.

Thread, Forums, and Video Sharing

Thread – is a sequence of messages that usually comments regarding a given topic.
Usually threads can be seen in a newsgroup – an internet textual discussion in a given topic.
Web forum – is a website or a portion of a website wherein random or registered
users can converse with each other by posting messages.
Blog or web log – is originally referring to personal journals of an individual on the
world wide web. Here, the blogger can express his/her experiences and opinions.
Web forums – are not just limited to topics that are in text format or articles.

File sharing
Several websites are offering file sharing. This involves sharing of information or files via
internet. Registered users can get access to the resources that can be downloaded either for free,
with fee or in exchange of a file that they are personally made. Files can be as simple as documents,
spreadsheets and slide presentations to bigger ones like music and videos.

Social Networking Sites

It is probably the current unbeaten popular internet service. Man, by nature is a social being.
The need to mingle and communicate is inevitable. And with the fast development of technology,
social networking sites were developed.
Friendster and Multiply ruled the early 2000s in world wide web and were overtaken by
Facebook – a social network site developed in 2004 by Mark Elliot Zuckerberg in Harvard University.
Application like Zynga – developer of online games Farmville and Café World.

Classified Advertising Sites

It is a newspaper section that covers buying and selling of products and services,
endorsements and job opportunities.

Buy and sell sites – these websites are in line with electronic commerce. Registered users can post
and promote their products and services. Products sold here are either brand new or refurbished.

Job hunting sites – job fairs can be exhausting and inconvenient – long queues of people, not to
mention, the expensive printing of resumes and other requirements. With the development of online
job hunting sites, applicants need only to upload their resume over the sites and the employers would
just conduct a preliminary screening of their potential employees via online thus reducing expenses
from organizing job fairs.

OVERVIEW OF THE SUBJECT MATTER
Internet Ethics

Netiquette (Network Etiquette)

Ethics – (Gk. “ethos” – character) refers to the users of behaviour known in respect to a
particular class of human actions or a particular group, culture, etc.
Today, the community of internet users includes people who are new to the environment.
These “newbies” are unfamiliar with the culture and do not need to know about transport and
protocols.

Top Ten (10) Netiquette Guidelines

1. Use Computer With Courtesy – whether a person is sending an email, chatting in a chat room
or speaking in a forum, it is important to be polite and respectful of others online. Users must
always remember the Golden Rule!.
2. Use Emoticons – when communicating online, it is difficult to gauge a writer’s feelings. By
using emoticons, the writer’s proper emotion will be conveyed to the reader.
3. Keep It Short and Simple (KISS) – it is important to keep messages short especially when
writing an email or typing in a chat room.
4. Don’t Shout – regardless of the internet service(s) being used, writing in all capital letters is
considered Shouting and is considered very rude.
5. Pay Attention To Language Issues – improper, inappropriate or bad language may get a
member kicked out or permanently banned from a forum or group. It is also important to
remember that people from other countries maybe participating in the conversation, so
language barriers may be a problem.
6. “Think Before You Click” – it is important to note that whatever is posted online today may
come back and haunt the writer tomorrow.
7. Keep Personal Information Private – posting personal and confidential information in the
wrong location can have serious consequences.
8. Obey Copyright Laws – disobeying copyright laws is a way of stealing. Internet researchers
should avoid using a copy and paste and if done, atleast they must acknowledge the source
and references used.
9. Help Internet Newbies – users must be patient and helpful with others. Remember everyone
was a newbie once.
10. Be Aware Of Cyberbullying– parents should talk honestly and openly to their children about
the issues of electronically bullying.

Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012
Republic Act No. 10175 is popularly known as Anti-Cybercrime law of the Philippines intends to
turn every Filipino citizen towards responsible netizenship. It recognizes the need for free, accessible
and quality Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and protection of every individual
against threats and crimes that can be done using technology and world wide web. It was
implemented 12, 2012. While there are good intentions, netizens reacted negatively on some
provisions of the law specifically with libel because of its thin line with freedom of expression. Due to
the qualms, it was suspended for 120 days via a temporary restraining order from the Supreme Court.
TRO was then lifted after 120 days and the law was returned to be implemented on December 2012.
