They are relatively inexpensive and accessible to enable anyone (even private individuals) to publish or access information, compared to industrial media, which generally require significant resources to publish information.

Ironically, the origin of the smiley face is a highly controversial debate. The most accepted belief is that graphic artist Howard Ball of Worcester, MA, created the smiley when asked to design a morale boosting campaign. He started with just the smile, but soon realized disgruntled employees might turn it upside down to a frown, so he added eyes. Other Emoticons: :) The classic smile. "I'm happy" or "my meaning is positive." Some Word programs will automatically turn this into a graphic after hitting return. ;) The wink. "Just kidding," sarcasm, etc. :-) Smiley with a nose. :-D Laughing. A slightly goofier version of the smiley, this one signifies a particularly happy mood or a laughing response. 8) Glasses or sunglasses. The cool smiley. :p Tongue hanging out.

This is the electronic responsibility for actions which says if something is ethical or unethical. The responsibility of the digital law deals with the ethics of technology as a whole. Digital Law deals with four main topics: copyright, privacy, ethical issues, and piracy. Unethical use of computers can form into theft or crime like piracy. People that are ethical in the use of their computers may actually be the ones being hurt by those who are not following these protective laws. A student should not be allowed to mess with other peoples work or identity with rules being applied. We have the digital Law to basically protect us; since most people don't follow it, the internet is becoming a very dangerous place.

. There are so many new illegal ways to get what you want and not get caught that it is very hard to find the causes of viruses and other crimes. Some problems with Elementary students are that they can get on sites too mature for their age. The information on these sites may be inappropriate for their age group. Another problem may be that older people may harass them. There are also some problems with Middle/High school aged students. They may get on sites such as MySpace or Facebook and lie about their age, name, or any other aspects of their lives. This is not a very smart act considering that later they may be abused. They may use bad language on the internet or chat rooms. Predators can trick some teens that are unaware of such dangers into meeting up with them. Parents/guardians are unaware of what teens are looking at and/or doing and therefore cannot stop them from seeing and/or doing inappropriate things.

Dubstep - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views
-
Topic on Dubstep, which is a genre of music. Dubstep's early roots are in the more experimental releases of UK garage producers, seeking to incorporate elements of drum and bass into the South London-based 2-step garage sound. These experiments often ended up on the B-side of a white label or commercial garage release. Dubstep is generally instrumental. Similar to a vocal garage hybrid - grime - the genre's feel is commonly dark; tracks frequently use a minor key and can feature dissonant harmonies such as the tritone interval within a riff. Other distinguishing features often found are the use of samples, a propulsive, sparse rhythm, and an almost omnipresent sub-bass. Some dubstep artists have also incorporated a variety of outside influences, from dub-influenced techno such as Basic Channel to classical music or heavy metal.

As teenagers we are always faced with certain distractions and time-wasters, but our cell phones, social networking places, and other technology are by far the worst. It is proven that it is more powerful for younger people because our brains are just now developing and can easily be habituated. When you are trying to do your homework and you hear your phone beep alerting you that you have a new text message, what do you do? Continue studying or rush to you phone to check this new message? If you rush to your phone, it might be time to try to set a limit on your use of technology. Quote; "The worry is we're raising a generation of kids in front of screens whose brains are going to be wired differently." - Michael Rich, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and executive director of the Center on Media and Child Health in Boston.

A 12 year old girl can not get help from her Mom on her homework because her mother is to busy on Facebook.She preferred that her name not be used because she is ashamed of the time she spends on the computer, which is generally 20 hours a day. Half the time for work and half the time for fun. She says she can go a whole day without Facebook, but she has never made it through a whole weekend. She has tried her hardest to cut back on her social networking time but she can't do it. Quote: "It's turned into a compulsion-- a compulsion to dissociate from your real world and go live in the Facebook world." -Paula Pile, a marriage and family therapist in Greensboro, North Carolina

Justin, Demi, Selena, Rihanna - and COPPA | BCP Business Center - 1 views

Justin, Demi, Selena, Rihanna - and COPPA By Lesley Fair October 4, 2012 - 1:29pm It's not likely we'll succumb to Bieber Fever. We're of a generation more susceptible to the Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu. But a company that ran official fan websites for pop stars may be feeling the effects of an FTC law enforcement action alleging violations of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and COPPA Rule. The defendant, Artist Arena, operated authorized sites for Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, and the mononymous recording artist Rihanna. (It is, too, a word. Ask Cher or Fabio.) Visitors to BieberFever.com, DemiLovatoFanClub.net, SelenaGomez.com, or RihannaNow.com could join fan clubs and subscribe to online newsletters. Fan club members also had access to social networking functions, like creating personal profiles, posting on walls, or "friending" other members. Of course, to take advantage of those features, people had to provide personal information. The details of the registration process varied depending on the site, so you'll want to read the complaint for the specifics. But the 25-words-or-less summary is that Artist Arena allegedly collected kids' names, addresses, email addresses, birthdates, gender and other info without properly notifying parents and getting their consent. According to the complaint, the company violated COPPA by knowingly registering over 25,000 kids under 13 and collected and maintained personal information from almost 75,000 other kids under 13 who started the sign-up process, but didn't finish it. What about Artist Arena's promises that it wouldn't collect children's personal information or activate kids' registrations without parental consent? The FTC challenged those claims as false. The settlement imposes a $1 million civil penalty, bars future COPPA violations, and requires the company to delete the information collected illegally. Looking for specifics on COPPA compliance? Visit the BCP Business Center's Children's Privacy page.

This Justin Beiber fan site has been penalized more than $100,000 for collecting emails of minors under 13 without parental permission. COPPA compliance is more important than ever. I find it ironic that kids under 13 aren't even supposed to be able to have emails in the first place on many websites. "The details of the registration process varied depending on the site, so you'll want to read the complaint for the specifics. But the 25-words-or-less summary is that Artist Arena allegedly collected kids' names, addresses, email addresses, birthdates, gender and other info without properly notifying parents and getting their consent.

This is important and why kids under 13 cannot get on most social media websites.
