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

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.

This is a disposable email that only lasts for one hour then erases itself. This could come in handy if you have to give an email address to make a game account you could use it so that you don't get spammed from the game site. Also it would make it impossible to track information sent from that email address to someone because it erases itself after one hour after being activated. You do not have to create your name because the site gives you an example. When I opened the site it told me that my email address was ready for use and was (owbjehey@guerrillamailblock.com) however you could change the name and use that as long as it has not been used before or is in use now.

Explain how Watson can mimic human intelligence. Watson mimics human intelligence by going through the same process humans do in order to find an answer. Watsons can comprehend clues and pieces of information, analyze the information that is given, and come up with an answer to the problem. Explain the ways that computers can rival a human in answering questions. Computers are systematic machines. Humans, can also be, but in a less precise manner. Thus, computers that are given the same amount of information, and have access to a lot of background knowledge can possibly rival humans in answering questions because of the systems' advantage of sorting out pieces of information and analyzing it digitally. Humans depends on their brains, and not knowing whether they really do, or how much they analyze the data correctly or not. A computer's digital system can come up with a number of possibilities precisely and thus calculate the best conclusion to the question. Explain the ways AI can impact personal lives. With the help of AI, human needed jobs such as diagnosing problems and illness, self-service centers, and information center tasks can be given to the AIs. Also, this can enhance humans personal lives by offering the humans an extra helping hand, that isn't as emotional as humans, and can be just as effective as well as useful, albeit the cost will be very high. Why was Jeopardy a good challenge? Jeopardy is a good challenge because of the structure of the Jeopardy game itself. The game itself only provides sly clues, riddles mixed with sarcasm and irony. Humans can detect such facts in the clues, but for a machine, as well as the system to be able to recognize these clues as well as reading in between the words to understand the meaning for an answer is a challenge. The system would have to be taught the same way humans are taught to notice such abnormalities of the hints. This is harder to teach an AI since it doesn't follow the same path of instruction
