Digital Driver's License -Navigate With Care

The Digital Driver's License (DDL), used to evaluate just how well-versed individuals are in proper online conduct, revealed some startling news to me. I truly believed that I was a well-rounded, functioning social citizen when it came to online forums before taking the exam. I scored an 18/20, which, for all intents and purposes is a good score (a 90% to be exact). But what was particularly surprising about this outcome is not the grade itself, but the areas in which I did poorly: Digital Health and Wellness and Digital Law. Downloading music and television from the Internet has become so integrated in my lifestyle that I have failed to recognize the effects and the implications of engaging in such behaviour. Additionally, I have allowed media to have control over, and interfere with many of my relationships.
