Topic 1 : Introductions

I really enjoyed the Vark Learning style quiz which was pretty right on the dot for me. In taking the quiz it also made me a little more aware to stay focused on how I learn and work best so that I get the most out of this class.

http://www.vark-learn.com/english/page.asp?p=visual

I also like the what color is your brain quiz. I think starting off with the personal assements and these quiz's was a great way to start this course. Both these quiz's were right on for me.

http://www.truecolorscareer.com/quiz.asp

I also like the web media on the 20 basic rules for how to conduct yourself online. Also I had never heard of or even thought about digital citizenship really and so this was very very helpful for me

http://www.teachthought.com/technology/20-basic-rules-for-digital-citizenship/

Topic 2: Privacy and Freedom of Speech

This audio recording of Jon Xavier, digital producer at Silicon Valley Business Journal, gives suggestions on how to make your private information more private and secure. The idea to you the private search engine start page, duck duck go was cool because their are no tracking of information you search. So the government cant go and ask them for information on users.

http://www.sciencefriday.com/segment/07/12/2013/protecting-your-online-privacy.html

The selected media which was a link to duck duck go website was awesome to have and I use it normally now. Why would we not use this private search engines and why are we empowering google everyday giving up our privacy and security when we dont have to. Its as if since we are use to google and its easy and we know it we are willing to give up our privacy and security which is ridiculous.

https://duckduckgo.com/

The video of Cybercrime expert Mikko Hypponen and the three types of cybercrime attacks we should be aware of was very informative. It was interesting that Germany required people with typewritters to register with the government. The US did not believe this and thought it violated our ammendment rights. However really today when you but a printer when you print up there are certain images etc. that track it to your printer. So we are still bring tracked and loosing our ammendment rights. No one seems to care or pay attention to it though.

Introductions http://www.davesite.com/webstation/net-history.shtml This timeline is split into five separate sections.

Privacy and Freedom of Speech http://www.fiercegovernmentit.com/story/privacy-and-freedom-expression-cant-always-coexist/2012-11-13 Defining harms suffered from violations of intellectual privacy in First Amendment terms could also open the door to lawsuits against federal surveillance programs that struggle for standing when framed as a Fourth Amendment challenge, since First Amendment doctrine permits "facial challenges to all types of things," Richards said. http://www.abine.com/blog/2013/why-the-loss-of-online-privacy-will-kill-free-speech/ This article shows author’s point of freedom of speech as a lawyer. Just because DNT could impact the advertising industry in the short-term, however, doesn’t warrant its intense broadcasting of fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD), and at times, outright deception. Frankels’s piece was one in a string of ad exec attacks on privacy that claim that the Internet will be doomed if consumers get more of the privacy they want. http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1520111

This PDF shows some drastic detail of this point. Much of Internet-related scholarship over the past ten years has focused on the enormous benefits that come from eliminating intermediaries and allowing user generated one-to-many (one person to many people) communications. Many commentators have noted the tension created between the positive benefits for free speech and the negative effects on user privacy. Intellectual Property http://www.wipo.int/about-ip/en/index.html

This article shows how intellectual property works for people’s life.Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce. http://money.cnn.com/2013/10/17/technology/online-privacy/ This article shows different points of this point and Even the Internet-within-the-Internet called the Tor network -- the most secretive way to browse the Web -- is being monitored by the National Security Agency. http://www.wired.com/insights/2013/10/internet-privacy-and-security-a-shared-responsibility/ The benefits of the Web have, of course, come at some cost, one of which is a loss of privacy. We are also more vulnerable to data breaches and identity fraud. But there are many things we can do to minimize the risks of both.

Crime

http://www.drj.com/drworld/content/w1_078.htm This article gives very detailed information of computer crime. The destruction caused by a natural disaster is readily apparent after it has occurred. However, computer crime could occur for an extended period of time before discovery, causing significant damages and losses. http://idiva.com/news-work-life/12-ways-to-protect-yourself-from-cyber-crime/21449 This article describes various techniques for preventing and detecting computer crime related disasters.The effectiveness of many internal control procedures is dependent upon the activities of responsible personnel. For this reason, a well-planned and properly functioning organization is an important factor in any system of internal control. An effective plan of organization should provide for segregation of functions and responsibilities so that no one person has incompatible duties which would permit the perpetration and concealment of material errors or irregularities. http://www.lectlaw.com/files/cri14.htm This article gives the examples and details of all types of internet crime.Crimes in which the computer is the target include such offenses as theft of intellectual property, theft of marketing information

Employment, Education and Entertainment

http://www.edutopia.org/blog/how-teachers-use-technology-mary-beth-hertz I like this video. This video introduces how teachers use technology to work for students now which I think is ralated to the topic http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1525-1446.2000.00178.x/abstract;jsessionid=A1A6399607126FA20F5B2F7B933D7963.f02t01?deniedAccessCustomisedMessage=&amp;userIsAuthenticated=false#b2 I search this on the internet" Although the regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 were phased in by 1992, monitoring and enforcement continue to be problematic. This study of three large shopping centers in the Southwest included one mall that was opened in the mid-1990s, and two malls that were constructed prior to the law (but have undergone recent renovations)."

Midterm - Millennium Development Goals

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPTGWGoGMW4 This video shows the important of achieving universal primary education. In all regions, inequalities in access to education continue to pose major barriers to fully attaining the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 2 target of ensuring that, by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, can complete a full course of primary schooling. This video shows the importance of fighting HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_MF7OZ3wv8 As it told us, this progress has not yet been enough, however, to reverse the trajectory of the epidemic, because interventions for prevention and treatment often fall short in coverage: for every two people starting antiretroviral treatment, there are five new HIV infections. Prevention has not received sufficient priority. http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/poverty-matters/2012/oct/31/millennium-development-goals-key-datasets This website shows us the different of MDG and especially of the education. They gives some details of it.

Evaluating and Controlling Technology

http://ase.tufts.edu/devtech/courses/readings/BersLynchChau.pdf This article show the positive of evaluating and controlling technology. Too often youth experiences with technology are framed in negative terms (e.g., cyberbullying, sexual predation, invasion of privacy, addiction to videogames or MMOGs). http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/administrative/securityrule/nist800-30.pdf This article shows some risk of this kind of technology http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn_9YHV2RGQ This video shows the different point. Guest editor Katina Michael at the University of Wollongong discusses how we can live with many of the uncertainties of big data for now, with the hope that its benefits will outweigh its harms, but we shouldnít blind ourselves to the possible irreversibility of changes--whether good or bad--to society.

Risks, Failures and Responsibilities

http://www.chinahush.com/2010/10/31/360-vs-qq-you-steal-private-information-oh-yeah-your-wealthy-ceo-cheats-housing-allowance/ This is a real fight between two of China’s most successful .com companies take their long grudge towards each other to the public.

The fight leads to Tencent prosecuting 360 in form for unfair competition. http://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1316598/exclusive-china-lift-ban-facebook-only-within-shanghai-free-trade-zone?page=all This is the artcile about blocking facebook in China and some people regard this as "The state controlled media that supports the government 100% then begins to feed the masses with all sorts of stories about how the government is good and only wants to help.

http://social.jrank.org/pages/156/Computers.html This article shows some different points of the future of computer. Computers are ubiquitous. As computers have become less expensive they have been purchased by more and more families for their homes. Because of this, many children begin to use computers at an early age. Even if computers are not available in their home, children almost certainly will begin to come into contact with computers in school.
