Digital Citizen reflection

I found the digital citizen article to be informative and interesting. I guess I have just never thought about the norms or technology and how they change. While reading this article I was thinking about some technology use norms that I am aware of. For instance I am a firm believer in putting away your phone when you are talking to someone. I think that texting while having a conversation with someone face to face is rude and that we should all learn that the text can wait. I have noticed that more and more today I come across signs at the library or counters of stores that say, "we will be with you when you finish your conversation" accompanied by a no-cell phone sign. I love technology but I do not think that technology can replace face to face interaction and contact. I believe that the advances in technology make communication easier and more accessible however, we have to be careful to not let technology push personal communication away. In addition I was pleased to see these social norms with technology to be listed because I do not believe that everyone that uses technology knows these norms. However, when a person is texting while you are trying to speak to them face to face, how can we blame them if no one has taught them that rule or the proper phone etiquette?
