Netiquette rules:
Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace.
Rule 5: Make yourself look good online.
Rule 6: Share expert knowledge.
Introduction: It is important to ensure an individual is aware of where they are on the internet. Understanding what you have written is essential, to ensure your work is easy to read and is relative to the topic. It is also vital to know your audience, e.g., showing an advertisement for hot wheels to a group of adults. It is also relative for older individuals, as they do not understand phrases that are used by younger generations, such as, ‘lmao’ or ‘lol’. It is required that this is understood through netiquette, as it can become a problem online if you do not acknowledge where you are on the internet.

Understanding the importance of presentation is necessary for different environments. Ensuring that you present yourself in a presentable manner will stop any controversy or confusion, it is essential to understand where you are, in regard to the formality of online communication. An example could include an individual using the wrong attitude and language, such as sending a formal email about a group project to a friend, which is unnecessary and may show an unfriendly attitude making it difficult to collaborate as a team.
Sharing expert knowledge refers to the practice of sharing one's specialized knowledge or expertise in an online environment in a respectful and constructive way. This involves following certain guidelines to ensure that the information being shared is useful, accurate, and presented in a manner that promotes learning and understanding.
