【正文】 ess you know for sure. 　 2) If I don39。re connected: Members of the Digital Culture know full well that there is a wealth of important information and lifechanging opportunities out there in cyberspace. The Web has opened doors for many of us that otherwise would never have been an option. Research possibilities and networking are just two such opportunities. 　 ?(6) We Learn the Power of Words and to be Better Listeners: With no facial expressions, body language, or physical appearance to distract us, members of the Digital Culture have learned the power of words ... both their own, and others39。s all about meeeee), those people who have nothing but negativity or unpleasant things to say about others, and those who feel pelled to undermine others and who think they must blow out the other guys39。t have been that long gone. It was as if the presence or absence of a father is a minor detail, not even requiring an explanation. 　 This is only one example of the media trend toward marginalizing fathers, which mirrors enormous social changes in the United States. David Blankenhorn, in his book Fatherless America, refers to this trend as the unnecessary father concept. We are bombarded by stories about the struggles of working mothers (as opposed to nonworking mothers, I suppose). Meanwhile, a high proportion of media stories about fathers focus on abusive husbands or deadbeat dads. It seems that the only time fathers merit attention is when they are criticized for not helping enough with the housework (a claim that I find dubious anyway, because the definition of housework rarely includes cleaning the gutters, changing the oil in the car or other jobs typically done by men) or when they die. When Mr. Blankenhorn surveyed fathers about the meaning of the term good family man, many responded that it was a phrase they only heard at funerals. One exception to the unnecessary father syndrome is the glowing media attention that athome dads have received. I do not mean to imply that athome dads do not deserve support for making this mitment. I only mean to point out the double standard at work when athome dads are applauded while athome mothers and breadwinner fathers are given little, if any, cultural recognition. 　 The very language we use to discuss men39。t even mentioned despite the fact that there was a baby in the family, so dad couldn39。s lives.　 Those fathers who strive to be good family men by being there every day to love and support their families those unsung heroes need our recognition and our thanks for all they do. Because they deserve it. 　Unit2. Why Digital Culture Is Good for You? 　The news media, along with social and behavioral scientists, have recently sent out a multitude of warnings about the many dangers that await us out there in cyberspace. The truth of the matter is that the Web is no more inherently dangerous than anything else in the world. It is not some amorphous entity capable of inflicting harmful outes on all who enter. In fact, in and of itself, the Web is fairly harmless. It has no special power to overtake its users and alter their very existence. Like the old tale that the vampire cannot harm you unless you invite it to cross your threshold, the Internet cannot corrupt without being invited. And, with the exception of children and the weakwilled, it cannot create what does not already exist... 　 (1) Like alcohol, the Web simply magnifies what is already there: Experts are concerned that the masking that goes on online poses a danger for everyone who is a part of the Digital Culture. Before we know it, the experts tell us, we will all use fake identities, bee fragmented, and will no longer be sure of just who we are. Wrong. The only people who feel pelled to mask, and otherwise misrepresent themselves online are the same people who are mysterious and unfrank in real life...the Net just gives them one more tool to practice their deceit.　 As for the rest of us, getting taken in by these people is a low probability. We know who these folks are in the real world. The Internet does not cause people to disguise as something they are not. As for the Digital Culture getting cheated by these dishonest folks, well, there are just as many cues online to decipher deception as there are in the real world. The petent WebHead can recognize many red flags given off by the online behavior of others. Oftentimes the intentions of fellow users is crystal clear, especially over time.　 When someone is trying to deceive us online, inconsistencies, the essence that they are trying too hard or are just plain unbelievable, often e through loud and clear. Likewise, just like in the real world, a host of other unacceptable tendencies can be readily recognized online. Narcissism (it39。s assistance online as anywhere else.　 (3) People are judged differently on the Web: On the Internet people are judged by their personality, beliefs and online actions, NOT by their physical appearance. This is good. It not only gives ugly folks an aid, but causes Beautiful People to have to say something worth listening to in order to get attention. 　 (4) People open up more: Many people are opening up a whole lot more these days since they are not required to use their real name and provide their real identity in the Internet. 　 (5) We39。s not copyrighted. This was true in the past, but today almost all major nations follow the Berne copyright convention. For example, in the USA, almost everything created privately and originally after April 1, 1989 is copyrighted and protected whether it has a notice or not. The default you should assume for other people39。s the main difference under the law. It39。s in the public domain. False. Nothing modern is in the public domain anymore unless the owner explicitly puts it in the public domain. Explicitly, as you have a note from the author/owner saying, I grant this to the pu
