This is not a read through the whole book type of book. I enjoyed flipping through the chapters that were interesting to me. It discusses questions about how to act on social networking sites, etiquette about texting in public, and some email information. Generally, this is a book to remind us of some common sense and general decency.

I wanted to get this book because I have students that are getting ready to go into the workforce. Most teenagers don't think about their social networking sites when applying for jobs. They have tagged pictures of themselves passed out drunk with a penis drawn on their face as their intro picture, or an email address that is sexykitten@gmail.com. I did a small teaching unit including parts of this book to help my teenagers realize that potential employers will check their Facebook to see what type of person they are. What image do you want to portray? With no technical skill whatsoever, employers are running mini background checks to see where the digital footprint leads them. It's important to think about digital etiquette as you are heading out into the world.

For teenagers thinking about jobs or college, this is an especially important book to glance through for new tips on cleaning up your act for becoming a professional.
