It is important to be a good digital citizen because the people you are communicating with or chatting with are also people, even though they are on the other side of the computer. I believe at many times people become more brave and bold because they have a computer to hide behind and it keeps the things they say and do less personal since they cannot see the direct effect they have on someone. There are many goo things about technology, but many tiems it keeps people from interacting and although technology can give us instant gratification in way of answers, it can also hinder seeing how what is said and done effects other people.
If you have a good digital reputation, if you use proper grammar, are polite, and honest and courtious to others then you cna build up your reputation as a reliable and honest source. Many people sell items on ebay or etsy and buyers are able to rate the seller. If you are a seller and you are dishonest with your customers and do not treat them as if they were standing in your store then the rating you may get will be lower and may cause your sales to drop.
I believe that if people would follow the Golden Rule, at all times, rather it is in person or online, everyone involved would have a much more pleasant experience.
