"New Media Manners" by KaiYan
I think that only the minority do not mind their manners as much nowadays because of social media. Sending an SMS to inform your friend that you will be late isn’t impolite. Of course it is better to call but sending a SMS is good enough. Majority of the people do take note of what is right and what is wrong to do on Facebook. People should not post things that are offensive to their friends on Facebook or Twitter, as this would hurt their friendship.
Declaring your love or breaking up with your partner on Facebook, twitter or through SMS is also not acceptable. This would show that you are insincere and do not have the guts to tell the person face to face. When you are out with your friends, it is okay to use Facebook, Twitter, SMS or email but not too often. Students should also not use mobile phones during lesson time as he/she might not be able to pay attention in class.
It is only acceptable for the boss to send a text message late at night if it’s regarding important matters. If your boss wants to be your friend on Facebook, you should accept it. Personally, I would not mention any work related things on Facebook to avoid any conflict. Employees should not use mobile phones during meetings as it is very rude to the speaker. It would also affect the employee’s performance as he/she did not pay attention to what was mention in the meeting.
