The great-great-grandson of Emily Post carries on her well-mannered
tradition with netiquette rules for social media, online dating, work,
and more.
For generations of Americans, the Emily Post Institute is the
authoritative source on how to behave with confidence and tact. Manners
in a Digital World is its up-to-the-minute, straight-talking guide that
tackles how we should act when using a digital device or when online. As
communication technologies change, our smartphones and tablets become
even more essential to our daily lives, and the most polished and
appropriate ways to use them often remain unclear. As anyone who has
mistakenly forwarded an email knows, there are many pitfalls, too. This
essential guide discusses topics such as:
- Why you need a healthy digital diet that includes texts, emails, and
calls
- How to appropriately handle a breakup announcement on social media
- What makes for the best--and the worst--online comment
- How to maintain privacy and security for online profiles and accounts,
essential for everything from banking to online dating
- How parents and children can establish digital house rules
- The appropriate, low-maintenance ways to separate personal and
professional selves online
Emily Post's Manners in a Digital World is for technophiles and
technophobes alike--it's for anyone who wants to navigate today's
communication environment with emotional intelligence.
