Last Four Commands-Program or be Programmed

@KatieGullans

Although these last four commands were written for technology and the internet, they can apply to people who refuse to go online.

“The bias of digital media is toward contact with other people, not with their content, or worse, their cash.” In real life, you should be social with people just to be social and not to get something out of it like money.

You should tell the truth online as well as in real life because eventually it will be revealed as a lie. It may be more difficult to tell a lie in real life because people can see facial expressions. In the picture, the guy in the background looks angry about the “harmless super laundry soap” probably because he was lied to, as there ended up being holes in his shirts. If you’re going to sell a product and you lie about it, people are going to find out when they use it and they are going to be pretty angry with you.

The next command is to share and not steal. We should be open to share our work instead of worrying about other people stealing it. It should be there to inspire people to create even more work to share. If we can be open, then we won’t have to worry about our work being stolen.

The last command is Program or be Programmed. We should learn how to work the code so it doesn’t rule over us. It would be better to know how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, then for people to always make it for you.
