    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

    Unthink is a brand new social networking site where you can customize anything you want however way we want it to be. There are no arbitrary changes that will happen. It also aims to expose all the "evils" of Facebook and other social networking sites, since they have access and can use our information as and when they'd like. Unthink has branded itself as the 'anti-Facebook' and has gotten an amazing response on the day of its inauguration. Unthink is still in its beta stages. There are a few differences: - * Unthink allows you to make changes to your privacy settings, which are better compared to Facebook. There are no arbitrary changes that will happen on Unthink. * Unthink also allows for migration of accounts from an existing Facebook account. * We can also isolate the advertisements and group them accordingly as we want. Our interest and liking of particular brands may also be rewarded with discounts and offers.

    On September 30th, a missile strike launched from a UAV killed Anwar al-Awlaki, al-Qaeda's most effective propagandist. This was an example of how the UAV are changing today's combat. These babies are equipped with sophisticated sensors and carry Hellfire missiles and laser-guided bombs. There may not be a man in the cockpit, but each Reaper UAV requires more than 180 people to keep it flying. A pilot is always at the controls from a ground control unit and another officer operates its sensors and cameras. UAV have become the weapon of choice over the past decade. Theres not a month that passes without reports that an al-Qaeda or Taliban leader has been killed by UAVs. There are more hours flown by America's UAS than by its manned fighter jets and more pilots are being trained to fly them than their manned equivalents. The frequency of drone stikes on terrorists in Pakistan has rose from one every 40 days to one every four days under Obama's admin. The UAV's ability to loiter for hours, minutely observe human activities while transmitting full motion video to its ground crews and can strike with pinpoint accuracy has made it the essential weapon in America's war on terrorism. Drones come in many different shapes and sizes. Predators and Reapers are the larger and more popular ones. Some are micro sized devices that imitate a bird used for eavesdropping or a mid sized plane that can be hand launched by soldiers to tell them what is happening over the hill. The medium sized UAVs would be able to defend airspace against enemy intrusion to attacking enemy air defenses. The largest UAV would operate as airborne warning and control, aerial refueling tankers, lift transports and long range bombers. The next generation of drones will also have AI, which allows them to shoot to kill. The UAS are used for "dull, dirty, dangerous, difficult or different" tasks. These tasks include surveillance missions requiring time and a degree of persistence that crews of

    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.
