11 Simple habits to maintain when you are on the internet!

Let's dive right in, these are a few pointers to guide online behavior I think are worth implementing! 

1. Online politeness & courtesy - needless to say, be polite  where ever you are! 
2. Managing bookmarks.
3. Managing uploaded documents/media (google drive, YouTube, etc.).
4. Keeping your email inbox clean and organized.
5. Acknowledging good content - A lot of online content is free although it is a result of hard work. Take a few seconds to acknowledge it and make the authors feel like they rewarded.
6. Backup Login Ids and Passwords
7. Keeping plugins up to date
8. Spreading information which is reliable. Check where its coming from and verify if you can. A lot of false knowledge is spread because the user does not cross check facts. For example, the brain does not work at 10% capacity. We use all of our brain.
9. If you want to gather information on a specific topic. Find an article and check its sources and citations. They often provided much richer information.
10. A lot of great search results are available on the later pages of google. You can find extraordinary and legitimate stuff on google pages beyond 10 or 15 as well. 
11. Special mention: Delete unnecessary large items. It costs someone some amount of money to keep things stored online and the 3.5 billion+ of us using it right now  collectively make using the internet a little more expensive! Let's not do that. 

I know most of these are basic habits but I feel many don't make the most with these. This cyberspace is like home!

Honestly speaking, I myself have occasionally failed to maintain these habits! But, yes, there is deliberate effort put into implementing them now that I preach them!
