Personal Tip or Opinion of the Day

Personal Tip – Online Safety – Mar 18/24

Online Safety:  As I was working on the Business Tip / Opinion of the day – the 4 R’s of safety, I came across this interesting website and it gave me the idea to share and discuss this topic. 

The 4 R’s of online safety, which I am just learning about after reading this article.

  1. Respect – I treat myself and others the way I like to be treated. 
  1. Responsibility – I am accountable for my actions and I take a stand when I feel something is wrong. 
  1. Reasoning – I question information I am told and find evidence before believing what I read. 
  1. Resilience – I get back up from tough situations and help others get back up too.

These are good things to know and to teach the next generations. 

It sounds simple, but not everyone thinks about this or does it.  It is important to know things, so that you can utilize them. 

“Knowledge is key” is something that has been said for ages but I like to rephrase it a little and change it to “applied knowledge is key”.  Knowledge is only a key if you actually use it! 

Questions to Ponder: 

Did you know about the 4 R’s of online safety? 

Do you use them? 

Have you taught them to your children or kids in your life? 

Take a moment to read about them and then apply the knowledge in a way that fits into your world!
