manned aircraft couldn't provide. Also, UAS could be used to fly in to observe or take samples after a chemical or biological attack. Any missions too dangerous for manned aircraft will be taken care of by the UAV. UAV have other advantages over manned aircraft as they have more detailed information about their targets, their strikes are more accurate and cause fewer civilian casualties. They are also cheaper and smaller. Since they have no pilot, the space could be used for fuel and thus they can fly much longer than manned aircraft. Without the need to accommodate crew, drone can be given radar-cheating stealthy shapes and can maneuver better. There are however a problem afflicting the drones as they depend on two-way satellite communications. If the datalink is broken the remote pilot will lose control of the aircraft. For missions requiring constant oversight, the vulnerability to electronic jamming or a direct attack on a communications satellite is a huge problem. Another problem is that the dones has a slight delay between the remote pilot and the aircraft. To reduce latency, small, solar, or laser powered ultra long endurance drones can form a chain in the sky along which satellite signals can be bounced. To reduce the workload on pilots, big UAV can take off and land automatically. The US Air Force plans to have a pilot operating up to four drones at a time. Civil liberty advocacy groups have raised concerns about targeted killings by drones. Bus as long as a UAS pilot can trust data from remote sensors, he or she should be able to make a proper assessment the same ways as the pilot of a manned aircraft. UAS pilot will be in a better position to do so since he or she will have more time to assess the situation accurately and not be exhausted b the physical battering of flying a jet.

Allowing the UAV to fire a weapon based entirely on its own data analysis raises a lot of ethical problems. Using UAV to kill enemies thousands of miles away is like a cowardly action of a bully sheltering behind superior technology. There are fears that UAS will lower the political threshold for fighting and an essential of restraint will be removed. Drones make leaders fonder of war.

The Piracy Problem: How Broad? Why are copyright violations are a serious problem? Copyright violations are a serious problem because it is equivalent to stealing. A person who watches from free online movies doesn't realize that all the people behind the movie used their time, labor and energy to create that movie, not to mention the amount of money that was used to produce the movie. So, to broadcast it to as free movie is truly unfair for all the industries concerned. Describe two advantages and two issues with illegitimate downloading. Advantages: (1) People around the world who can't afford to have it have the option of having for free. (2) It is available anytime, anywhere in the world. Issues: (1) Million of dollars as revenues and earnings are stolen from industries (movie, music, TV, etc.). (2) It will cause the affected industries to increase the price of their "product" when purchasing it legitimately. Explain two possible solutions to this kind of piracy. Possible solutions: (1) If people around the world really see stealing as a morally corrupt practice, then let us all shun away from the use of the internet. (2) If we can't afford to avoid the disadvantages of the Internet, let us all practice, encourage and teach honesty. This golden virtue is the only potent cure against SOPA and PIPA. Not enough is being done to tackle cyberbullying, according to the NSPCC. Give examples of cyberbullying. Some examples of cyberbullying are the following: receiving nasty text messages or e-emails 24/7. Describe possible solutions. Some possible solutions are the following: students must not give their mobile number to acquaintances or other students who are their close friends; never chat to anyone whom you don't know; when you received nasty text messages from your mobile phone, change your mobile phone number right away; and lastly be very selective in choosing whom to friend in FB or in other social networks.

1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to. Business and Employment- Online business 2. Identify all ITGS terminology and phrases (IT and social/ethical). Applications, Internet, UID, network, web, software developers, policy, analytics services, 3rd parties' applications. 3. Describe one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. Privacy is the concern in this article because some software developers behind outside applications popular in the online community were "inadvertently" sharing user identification numbers. 4. Describe the relationship of the main stakeholders to the IT system. The main stakeholder which is the Ad networks is sharing identifying information about users with advertising and Internet tracking companies. 5. Explain the relationship between the IT system and the social/ethical issue identified in question 3. Facebook (IT system) modified its policy to forbid user identification data from leaving third-party applications and for such information to remain confidential if used by analytics services connected to programs (privacy). 6. Discuss at least one problem that relates to the impacts of the social/ethical issue. The problem here is that all of the 10 most popular applications on Facebook were transmitting unique user ID numbers to outside companies which violates Facebook's policy: data received from Facebook, including UIDs, cannot be shared with data brokers and ad networks. 7. Evaluate one solution that addresses the problem identified. Facebook user should have a choice on whether or not to allow applications to get their UID. Facebook should also tighten their policy and make it harder for Ad networks to share UID with third party applications.

1. Identify the scenario. Business 2. Describe a social/ethical concern and the relationship of one primary stakeholder to the IT system in the article. Security is a social/ethical concern because it regards the security of the Database Servers that are used to store the Domain Names and IP addresses. With insufficient security, the database security can be breached by outsiders and be altered. The primary stakeholder is Group NBT, and is the domain name management firm of NetNames and Ascio whose DNS Databases were compromised in this attack. Their SQL commands were infiltrated by the hackers, so that the information stored on their DNS Database was altered, that made website visitors be re-directed to spam websites. 3. Describe the IT concepts and processes. Domain Name System (DNS) - The address book for the website that links the URL of websites to IP address numbers that computers use to visit a website. IP Address - The numbers that are separated by period dots that make up a website's numerical address of its location. (DNS) Database - A database is a massive spreadsheet with numerous data types and forms used to store large amounts of data (in this case, websites' domain names URL and their respective IP addresses.) SQL Injection - SQL stands for Structured Query Language, used for database manipulation. This is a hacking method by using the various layers present in SQL commands, by 'injecting' a hidden command that enables to create a loop hole for access and change the database information. This includes changing strings of commands in the original SQL command into malicious commands, that are executed when the altered SQL command is executed. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms161953.aspx

4. Explain the relationship between the IT system referred to in the article and the concern presented above. The security of the DNS Databases run by NetNames and Ascio (two subsidiaries of domain name management firm Group NBT) is a concern. Their SQL commands were being altered and compromised, which resulted in the altered domain names and IP address links. Their relationship is that the concern is the IT system's (in this case the Database's) security. The IT system, Group NBT's Database, has a concern over it's security. The DNS Database system has a security concern because the hackers were able to alter the paths of redirecting certain websites to scam websites instead through a SQL Injection attack that manipulates the SQL command used to manipulate the domain name database. 5. Describe and evaluate the impact of a social/ethical issue on the stakeholders The social/ethical issue is security. The stakeholders are Vodafone, the Daily Telegraph, UPS, and four other websites, Turkish hackers (Turkguvenligi), and internet users who visited those seven websites within the hacking duration. This has an impact on their security issue because their database has already been compromised once, and unless they create a new system of security to prevent SQL injections, they will never be able to know when someone is changing their SQL command strings. They need to have someone constantly monitoring their SQL to see if there are any changes. The security issue impacts Group NBT because it makes their customers that use their services doubt the secure service because hackers were able to alter the redirection of customers to scam websites instead of their respective website. Therefore security, to a large extent, has an impact on Group NBT. 6. Explain and evaluate one solution to the issue identified. A solution to the issue identified by NBT was to further review their Database system to ensure customers of a more secure service, since it is impossible for a

Read Heads-up. Describe two guidelines from each section that you think are relevant advice. May 9 kuni

Share with care Your online actions can have real-world consequences. The pictures you post and the words and the words you write can affect the people in your life. Think before you post and share. The advice, mainly for children, is that before you click to send email or when you're ready to post or send a message or a photo, download a file, game or program, or shop for something-stop for a second. Think about things like: Do you know and trust who you're dealing with-or what you're sharing or downloading? How will you feel if your information ends up somewhere you didn't intend? Get someone's okay before you share photos or videos they're in. Online photo albums are great for storing and sharing pictures of special events, and camera phones make it easy to capture every moment. Stop and think about your own privacy-and other people's-before you share photos and videos online. It can be embarrassing, unfair and even unsafe to send or post photos and videos without getting permission from the people in them. Interact With Tact Avatars are people too. When you're playing a game or exploring an online world where you can create a character and interact with others, remember real people are behind those characters on the screen. Respect their feelings just INTERACT WITH TACT like you would in person. Remember that your character or avatar is a virtual version of you-what does it tell people about you and your interests? Speak up. If you see something inappropriate on a social networking site or in a game or chat room, let the website know and tell an adult you trust. Using Report Abuse links can help keep sites fun for everyone. The Protection Connection Learn about social mapping. Many mobile phones have GPS technology, and there are applications that allow you to find your friends-and allow them to find you. Use GPS and social mapping apps only with people you know personally and trust. Take advantage of privacy features in
