Digital Citizenship

Digital Commerce

Digital Commerce: electronic buying and selling of goods. Technology leaders need to understand that a large share of market economy is being done electronically. Legitimate and legal exchanges are occurring. The mainstream availability of Internet purchases of toys, clothing, cars, food, etc. has become commonplace. At the same time, an equal amount of illegal goods and services are surfacing such as pornography and gambling. Access to almost any product raises the question of legal and illegal acts by the user. Students need to be taught that options in a non-electronic society are also found in an electronic society. The rise of the digital economy does not change the issue of right and wrong, but it does enhance the user’s access to buying and selling goods, which magnifies the issue of illegal activities.
