and how to be more aware of our personal information. The book is structured into four parts: Part 1 discusses the fundamentals of Internet security and privacy, Part 2 specializes in privacy while on the World Wide Web, Part 3’s topics are e-mail security and privacy, and Part 4 discusses the ways in which to secure a computer. Following the structure of the book, I will review and summarize the most important aspects of the parts and chapters in chronological order. Part 1 features
hack into a connection he is able to access all the information on the hard drive. The danger in this is that many people keep personal information on their computers such as credit card numbers, tax returns, social security numbers and his private e-mail (Federal Trade Commission). I feel a bigger threat from hackers is that some hackers attacked retail companies through the companies’ computers. Hackers use the same methods to attack a company as they would, to attack a private individual. Once they
Carnivore No one can speak for all Americans in deciding the trade-offs between equal protection of the laws, privacy, and fearless exercise of democratic freedoms. - Rob Geis Envision a future where every action you make is recorded and reviewed by unknown means — A world where a government spies on its own citizens more frequently than other nations — A government that reads everyone’s email, in order to try to thwart unpreventable actions. Does this sound like a science fiction story?
have to attack every user individually, they write special viruses named "Worms" and "Trojan horses" which, once run, could spread in a global scale. These programs may have different functions from gathering personal data to logging pressed keys and e-mailing the information to a hacker. Even if a user does not keep any valuable information, his or her computer does have a value for a hacker. "If you think that your small computer could not become an object of offence because it is very small, then
moving at such a rapid pace, etiquette and ethics have a hard time keeping up. Five years ago few people had even heard of electronic mail or "e-mail" and even today, whether to add a hyphen or not it is of trivial debate. As a society, we hold dear the value of privacy and confidentiality as a basic fundamental right. Access to the new technology of electronic mail can jeopardize both values. What privacy rights should employees enjoy, and how can these be reconciled with the legitimate need of

go only to the original sender as opposed to the whole list of recipients. If replies are sent to all of the original recipients then each reply is also considered a mass mailing. 1.3 Explain why and how to stay safe and respect others when using e-mail. Confidentiality – this is particularly important in the work environment. Mark anything up and private and confidential as a header. Attach a word document if necessary instead of writing the confidential information into the body of the email
An Explanation of How the Internet Works Have you ever thought how the Internet works? The research found here will help answer that question. The Internet is a complicated system. There are two main protocols that the Internet uses that allow you to transmit and there are certain procedures that allow you to receive information via the Internet. The Internet is very large and many things have to work correctly for information to get to your computer or to get from your computer to someone
checking your email like you do everyday. This time, however, you get an email from someone whose name you don't recognize. Your curious nature getting the best of you, you click on it and see this: Guess what! I'm a woman, and I'm sending you e-mail. I must be able to use a computer. I also do not take a herd of women into the restroom with me. Women do not do that. Men just like to think that we do. Who do you think you are exactly? Guess what! I know exactly what you are. You are a pitiful
My Use of ICT at Home and at School Demographics I am a 16-year-old boy who lives in London. I am of background. I live in a borough that is a developing area and a borough that is full of people from all different ethnic backgrounds; a lot of people in the borough now use computers for whatever reason. As the bid for hosting the 2012 Olympics goes on, Newham is one of the hosts and for this reason the borough is advancing a lot in terms of technology to win the bid from other more
Internet. Examples of communication on the Internet would include live chatting, blogging, messaging, and e-mailing. Some of the more popular websites for communication are Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter. Between 75 and 90 percent of teenagers in the United States use the Internet to e-mail, instant message (IM), and visit chat rooms. The Internet has made stamps and phone calls nearly obsolete. An e-mail takes seconds to get to the receiver around the world compared to days with the United States Postal
Florida Criminal Justice Network (CJ Net) When the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) decided that their system of communication needed a revamping they upgraded the existing system to CJ Net. The CJ Net is a backbone communications network for Florida's criminal justice agencies. This network builds on the foundation of the Florida Crime Information Center (FCIC) telecommunications network. Funding provided in recent years to re-engineer the FCIC network was used to convert then currently
If we had perfect communication would conflict cease? Consider for example, an e-mail asking for some information “yesterday” to stress how important this request is. The sender thinks e-mails are great as they travel at the speed of light and spell things out in black & white. The recipient may consider that if its in a e-mail then it can’t be that urgent because servers can loose, misdirect or delay an e-mails transmission. They may also consider that as the information was wanted “yesterday”
all the upsides of the Internet and technology these can be ruled out, but should not be forgotten altogether. Using the Internet, we now can communicate differently, that is through the use of e-mail and online chat. No longer do we have to wait for days for a letter to reach its destination, but via e-mail it can take a number of seconds only. Information can be conveyed from one place to another much quicker. Online chat is a way people meet others, and catch up with friends without leaving the
During the initial years of its development, internet had a set of design principles that made it what it is. One such crucial design principle that defined the distinctive nature of how the internet shaped out is the end to end arguments. These principles claim that application level functions preferably should be implemented at the application level itself (i.e., at the end points of a transaction) and not at the lower levels (i.e., the core of the network). And, the only functionality that is
Through my research, I have found that many secondary parents feel that they have lost a great deal of communication with both the school and the teachers. I feel that through weekly e-mails and monthly newsletters, I would be able to keep communication up-to-date for the parents. Another loss in the classroom is parent participation. I plan on initiating a “Let Us Teach You” night, so students can present their recent work and show their parents what they have learned. I also plan on including
The internet has brought pleasures and benefits to our lives since it was invented. Although this fact is true, Internet permits strangers “called hackers” to spy, hack and enter our private world in networks. According to Network world, one website was hacked every five seconds. Hacking is a taboo operation by stealthily accessing. During hacking, the hackers steal user’s data and their money. Also, they may destroy their computer or their important projects, and they build strong link between their
As technology advances and people are conducting college online, the use of proper netiquette is becoming a must. One must follow certain rules when sending out email or when posting in an online classroom forum. There is not one person that likes to be flamed or embarrassed in an email or online forum. The positive and negative effects that one experiences in an online forum can have great impact on how that person responds to future discussions or emails. By following the proper core netiquette
So I received my invite to Google Wave one week ago, and have been playing with it off and on since then. It’s a fascinating platform, not quite what I expected, and it’s been really interesting to think about potential applications and uses of the platform. My initial impression upon logging in was that it was a typical Google app, visually very clean, colorful, and smooth. I had some idea of how things worked from watching their tech demo video, so I began to play around with creating and joining
There are several of online platforms that can give businesses the enormous opportunity to engage potential customers. For instance, it is essential to have social media, this way, one doesn’t have to chase and annoy people with phone calls or direct mail. Continuing this further, in the late 2011 more than 1,000 businesses were surveyed on, “What is the top challenge in content marketing programs?” and this assessment showed that “producing engaging content” was the challenge. So, in order to make
