Nine Themes of Digital Citizenship Digital citizenship are the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology usage. 1. Digital Access: Technology users need to be aware that not everyone has the same opportunities when it comes to technology of any kind. Digital exclusion makes it difficult to grow as a society increasingly using these tools in numbers. Helping to provide and expand access to technology should be goal of all digital citizens on a global scale. People must keep in mind that there are some that may have limited access, so other resources may need to be provided to some. To become productive citizens, we need to be committed to make sure that no one is denied digital access Because that would be unfair. 2. Digital Commerce: electronic buying and selling of goods and other services. Technology users need to understand that a large share of market economy is being done electronically due to the rapid growth in technology in this world. Legitimate and legal exchanges are occurring,the buyer or seller needs to be aware of the issues associated with it or there could be consequences. Mainstream availability of Internet purchases of toys, clothing, cars, food, etc. has become commonplace to many users when they are looking to find an item to buy.An equal amount of goods and services which are in conflict with the morals or laws are surfacing (that include activities such as illegal downloading, pornography, and gambling).

Researchers have found that an overwhelming amount of young people have an online presence. In society today, technology is becoming more and more accessible no matter what age. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and “Taking Multitasking to Task” by Mark Harris, both authors portray the idea of technology ruling the lives of generations to come. Harris’s opinion on technology taking over is correct because more and more people at younger and younger ages are dependent upon it.
Today technology is an integral part of lives, the digitized age has incorporated itself into nearly every aspect of our culture.

"  In our World, threats to our Country are common and are becoming frequent. Issues like bullying, extremism, terrorism, and even the illegal production and distribution of drugs threaten all parts of the world more than ever. Not to mention, our increasing dependence on technology for business transactions, work, school, and storage of information has opened up a medium to effectuate these actions.

Also, it can bring people together by showing eachother what they look like if they have not been able to see each other for a long time.
" Our generation is one known for the internet. Many of us have never known a world without the internet. A good thing about that is that we stay informed on subjects from all around.

And we need to evaluate the benefits and potential risks of them. It is important to be aware that our online life implicates our offline health and wellbeing. From my point of view, we need to explore how digital technology affects our behaviour, values and social life, as well as our physical and psychological
