Agree or disagree? all feb 10 soobin

Agree Agree to some extent. Internet freedom can be sacrificed only to a certain extent to fight piracy. Getting rid of internet freedom is basically the same thing as shutting out the communication lines of the world. The source of the reason why piracy is done is mainly due to the fact that people can't afford the items that they wish to use, or need to use, because they are ridiculously overpriced. These industries don't think that way because they want profit, however, if piracy was stopped, then no one will buy their products anyways because they still can't afford it. Popularity of the product will decrease, and the marketing of the product basically just failed. We need to compromise something so that piracy is decreased until there is no more. But suddenly stopping everything in one shot with something like SOPA isn't the way to go. Disagree I disagree. The internet should be free and open. We need to educate people not to download pirated software, movies and music. Doing so is the same as stealing from a shop, which most people would not do. Most people would be prepared to pay small amount for the right to download these things. If governments try to remove websites, it is the same as censorship which sometimes happens in dictatorships but should not happen in free societies. We really need freedom for the internet, so that we can easily share our own ideas, and thoughts. Unlike China, where people can't even talk gossip about governments, which is a basic human right. But China is still very famous for internet piracy. The United States should not have the power to prevent freedom of internet because they are not the world's police force. They should not have the power to dictate what happens in the rest of the world. That's why internet freedom should not be sacrificed.

Give examples of cyberbullying. Describe possible solutions. all feb 13 jang

Cyber bullying happens through the use if IT devices, especially through social networks. It has psychological effects on the person being bullied. An eighteen-year old boy Carney Bonner can be an example of cyber bullying. Carney was cyber bullied when he was 14 years old. He received constant text messages saying 'go kill yourself' or 'you're nothing.' This kind of messages made Carney anxious restricting him from social life. A possible solution to cyber bullying is parents educating their child about being safe online. Also, the person who is being bullied can consult to someone he can trust. Keeping it to yourself is very bad.

Is this a good or bad idea? Feb 14 Alec

I believe that this is a good idea because the children will get an ipad for $500 and also the text books included this will cut down on the price of schooling because instead of having to pay more money for books. Also this will give the children more up to date knowledge on current events because they will get updates from around the world everyday.

What might you use? march 25 soo

I might use Adobe Buzzword, BibMe and 4 shared. For example Adobe Buzzword is helping me to write document on desktop therefore I can prepare my report or essay perfectly with free cost. BibMe is making citations in MLA format automatically so I don't have to spend my time writing and sort out about citation formatting. 4 shared is good program which gives all users free 5 GB of storage. So that I can save my work and I don't have to bring my USB all the time and if there is internet access, I can access to the internet and work on my work which saved in 4 shared.

1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to. Business and employment 2. Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system. Gucci, employees 3. Identify one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. Security 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. Virtual private network- a network that is constructed by using public wires to connect nodes. For example, there are a number of systems that enable you to create networks using the Internetas the medium for transporting data. These systems use encryption and othersecurity mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted. http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/V/VPN.html Hacking- the practice of modifying computer hardware and software to accomplish a goal outside of the creator's original purpose. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-computer-hacking.htm Virtual servers- a Web server, that shares computer resources with other virtual servers. Instead of requiring a separate computer for each server, dozens of virtual servers can co-reside on the same computer. http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/V/virtual_server.html E-mail Server - A computer server that acts as the supplier and sender of e-mails in the network. Ecommerce - Electronic commerce, business to sell and buy online electronically. Identity Theft - The stealing of and ID, or impersonating a fake person. 5. If possible, describe a solution to the concern (issue). Gucci needs to be stricter to their employees. They need to closely monitor anyone that can access the company's financial system and any vital part. By doing so, employees would not even think of hacking the system. Moreover, educating their workers into not being tricked to activate any other fraud employee accounts. Also, improving the authorization system of employees to access information with biometrics may be helpful to increase the security of their data and network system.
