Those who have been sitting on the fence about upgrading to HTTPS now need to hop off the fence and upgrade. As of July 2018 Chrome browser will begin warning all users of an HTTP website the website is an insecure site. This is done with the goal to move the web towards a secure HTTPS web.
Web hosts are worried about the effect this could have on their websites if users are concerned about the "insecure site" warning which will pop up in a Chrome users address bar. These changes are estimated to effect nearly fifty percent of internet users worldwide.
This new change, though its effects could negatively influence many websites, it will help make websites more secure for users. This announcement was firm about the goal to warn users about

Other countries, projected to be affected by this change, are Spain, Asia, Russia, Africa, USA, Canada, India, United Kingdom and Australia.
While many web hosting providers have been hesitant to switch because of technical or monetary excuses there are many web hosts who already provide HTTPS certificates. These certificates to upgrade to HTTPS are of no or little cost. Thus, making money no longer a valid excuse for web hosts to not upgrade. As for the technical concerns, a web host must outweigh the pros and cons with losing part of their web browsing audience due to the "insecure website" notifications or small changes of having technical difficulties. Most web publishers are hesitant about this because there are mixed content issues, which is where a secure web page links to a web page asset using an insecure URL. If there is an insecure URL being used, this defeats the purpose of the HTTPS upgrade and makes the website less credible.
Many companies are worried about losing their browsers and in turn also losing their site's bounce rate, advertising impressions, affiliate clicks, and ecommerce

The idea of social responsibility has emerged in society over the past years and has been made out to be a very important concept. The concept of social responsibility covers “social skills while enabling him or her to be active and responsible members of their larger social and political community” (Source 1). Though, to be a socially responsible member of American Society is to participate in social events and be aware of what is happening in the American Society. It is to be able to take action and know the consequences for events that are happening, and to know how one’s actions will affect the community before commiting that action. Being a socially responsible individual can be the first step in making a community greater than it already is.
It is said that Western civilization had been primarily male dominated and as a result as diminished the feminine. Women’s roles in society have changed drastically over the past decades. While it took much time, progress for women’s rights has blossomed. Influences in civilization have affected view points of the commonly held mores, expectations, and stereotypes which define gender.
Television has affected every aspect of life in society, radically changing the way individuals live and interact with the world. However, change is not always for the better, especially the influence of television on political campaigns towards presidency. Since the 1960s, presidential elections in the United States were greatly impacted by television, yet the impact has not been positive. Television allowed the public to have more access to information and gained reassurance to which candidate they chose to vote for. However, the media failed to recognize the importance of elections. Candidates became image based rather than issue based using a “celebrity system” to concern the public with subjects regarding debates (Hart and Trice). Due to “hyperfamiliarity” television turned numerous people away from being interested in debates between candidates (Hart and Trice). Although television had the ability to reach a greater number of people than it did before the Nixon/Kennedy debate, it shortened the attention span of the public, which made the overall process of elections unfair, due to the emphasis on image rather than issue.
This is because of the philosophy of competition allowing for things to improve for the consumer. The idea being that if a company did not improve their service, then a consumer would take their business elsewhere. This incentivizes the first company to improve so that they are able to get more business. For example this is (partially) why phone companies are constantly trying to add more and more features to their products to keep people from switching over to their competition. So they believe that the internet will stay the same because people will be able to switch to different competing companies and the companies will not risk losing their
Despite the world being full of diverse people with varying accomplishments and skill sets, people oftentimes assume the qualities and traits of an individual based purely on the stereotypes set forth by society. Although these stereotypes are unavoidable, an individual can be liberated, empowered and ultimately overcome these stereotypes by obtaining an advanced education.

When a punch is thrown, the intended victim flinches. Whenever a threat is present, threat mitigation is soon to follow, terrorism is no exception. After a terrorist attack, officials look into why the attack was committed, and what can be done to prevent further attacks. There are many methods to counter terrorism, some obscure and quite technical. However, some passive methods are in plain sight, incorporated into daily life. Many of these methods are incorporated into the architecture around us. Architecture, over the decades, has adapted to the need of terrorism prevention and protection. Through the use design and styling, architects have managed to incorporate countermeasures into structures and complexes, while minimizing their evasiveness in daily life. As attacks happen, architects further adapt their designs for better protection.
haven't seen, and keep them updated on your day to day life. The Internet has become an important part of our lives, especially social media. I disagree with the idea that you can make real friends on the Internet because it's not safe and it does not provide basic needs that sustain a friendship.
Social networking sites have a powerful grip on society. There are so many opportunities to do with these sites such as posting on Snapchat or Facebook or looking up a recipe on how to make apple pie. These sites allow us to also communicate with others, which is remarkable. But, social media is a lot more detrimental than expected. Social networking sites are harmful to society because of cyberbullying, loss of privacy, and false connections with others.
A common argument ISPs have is that less regulation and the ability to charge websites and consumers more would give them money to reinvest in better infrastructure (“What”). ISPs also argue that any consumers against their policies could easily switch providers if they wanted to, but the issue is not as simple as that (“What”). It is not the job of individual companies to improve the infrastructure of the internet, just like how it isn’t the job of individual cars to build better roads (“What”). Likewise, many Americans only have access to decent internet from one provider where they live, and therefore have no other options than one provider (“What”). The other opposition is the FCC, specifically Trump-appointed chairman Ajit Pai.
A(n) active and large debate throughout the U.S is the discussion of cell phones, technology, and how often it is used. People are wondering if there should there be limitations on how often we use our technology? No, there should not be. To put a limit on technology, is to put a limit on creativity and expression. A limit would damper the speed and amount of education ,we learn it would turn us blind to the world around us.
Invasion of Privacy on the Internet Privacy is a serious issue concerning the Internet, as e-mails can be read if not encrypted, and cookies can track a user and store personal information. Lack of privacy policies and employee monitoring threatens security. Individuals should have the right to protect themselves as much as possible from privacy invasion and shouldn't have to give in to lowered standards of safety being pursued by the government. Encryption is the best and most convenient way to ensure that e-mails and other files transferred via the Internet are kept private during transfer. The widespread use of strong encryption technology is essential to protect consumers and businesses against spies, fraud, and theft over the computer networks used in electronic commerce.
In recent times we might consider that the right for privacy in one of our major achievements in our society. Unfortunately the same does not apply for the Internet. The Internet once considered a place for free information exchange and sharing, has the potential has becoming the biggest threat to its users. The commercialization of the Internet is one of the major reasons why the chances of a compromise of our privacy have increased. Customer profiling, address trading or simple lack of care with sensitive customer information are just some of the threats that this commercialization has bought to our ‘free’ Internet. Another reason being that with the increase of threats there is a regular change in technology to counter these threats. These changes make it harder for the already overstrained users to cope with the ever changing technology.
