I think that it’s helpful to point students to four properties that are
not typically present in normal face to face interactions: persistence,
searchability, exact copyability, and invisible audiences ( see Danah
Boyd’s work). I’ve heard and used the analogy of being in a park. If you
say something unfortunate to somebody in the playground, it’s unlikely
that your words will be stored, found and replicated by someone who
wasn’t even there.
