"Most history is hierarchical: it's about popes, presidents, and prime ministers. But what if that's simply because hierarchies create the historical archives? What if we are missing equally powerful but less visible networks-leaving them to the conspiracy theorists, with their dreams of all-powerful Illuminati? The twenty-first century has been hailed as the Networked Age ... argues that social networks are nothing new. From the printers and preachers who made the Reformation to the freemasons who led the American Revolution, it was the networkers who disrupted the old order of popes and kings. Far from being novel, our era is the Second Networked Age, with the personal computer in the role of the printing press."--Provided by publisher.

There is growing concern over how we behave and interact online, from fighting, incivility, rudeness, and even criminal behaviors like cyberbullying, to simply adapting old forms of etiquette to a new landscape. This book, updated from an earlier resource, provides younger readers an introduction to this timely topic, a subject that they are both engaged in forming themselves as "digital natives," and one they also often require guidance in. It informs readers about the polite and productive use of social media networks and mobile platforms and discusses pressing issues of etiquette within families, among friends, and in educational settings.

Social networking has become an integral part of our lives in this modern society. Nearly every young adult has one or more types of social accounts, making it imperative to inform them about the best ways to protect themselves and their private information. Discussions about online predators and the rights students have on the Internet are highlighted by fact boxes, and a list of dialogue questions encourages conversations among young adults about how to be proactive in protecting themselves online.
