I know that there have been times on my personal account that someone has been able to see my personal information even when they aren’t my friends on Facebook. In the past, I have felt like my personal information was not being protected at all, I tried writing to Facebook telling them my concerns and how I don’t feel protected. I have also gone as far as deleting my Facebook for a period of time to make sure that my personal information is not looked at. When it comes to social networking sites, you can’t expect everything to be private; it is online, but when a website says that everything is protected and private, it disappoints me when I could go onto my profile and see that even if it is set on private that other people can read my email address, phone number, see my pictures, etc. Privacy is everything and with people out there who could stalk you over a networking site, that really bothers me.
I was hesitant to get it because I feel that whenever I did set up a social networking account a new networking site was created making the old one obsolete. I did not feel like trying to keep up, but I finally broke down when I had a biology project due and realized that I did not have my partners’ phone numbers; I did know that they both had a Facebook profile. Although these types of sites do not consume most of my computer time, I do feel that I waste a lot of valuable time of the computer
If anyone was to look at the comments on Carr’s essay located on the internet one would realize how many people are opposed to Carr’s argument just like Hornsby. Most of these anonymous internet users told about how the internet has done nothing but help improve their research and study skills. It was very rare to see any comment that strongly agreed with Nicholas Carr. One comment, that was against Carr’s argument, said that the copious amount of information on the internet allows people to skim through the thousands of words until they find a piece of work that catches their interest allowing them read more in depth when something catches their interest. What this unnamed internet user was trying to explain is that if a reader is skimming and not interested in a subject online, that it is the author’s fault and not the internet as a whole.
According to the article, corruption often goes unchallenged because people do not say anything about it. Even though whistleblowers can help by offering “invaluable insights into corruption,” (transparency.org)
Another voting method used in political elections, the Borda count, will be discussed. Teaming is a serious drawback of this method. A basic version of range voting is presented in this report. It is related to product ratings which are widely used on the internet. This type of range voting appears to have less serious drawbacks than plurality, IRV and the Borda count, but it has not been used for political elections.
Majority of these people have no regard of the safety of others around them. Laws banning cell-phone usage have been approved in some states, cities and municipalities, but not all. When we leave our home we take our keys, wallet, purse, and foremost our phones. Cell phones are the perfect way to stay connected with others while providing the user with a sense of security. Kingston k stated, “Mobiles are now every one’s first choice gadget, either an elderly person or a younger one.” (Kingston, K 2014).
Facebook and the other social media websites are on the front line of the privacy issue due to their size – Facebook has over 200 million users (Kennedy, 2010, 1). Their privacy controls are often limited and the default settings prearranged by the website allow unknown people to contact the professional and add them as a "friend", to which the Unite/CPHVA professional officer Gavin Fergie says: "There is a professional boundary there that could be breached. Practitioners may not have set correct barriers to restrict access to material on their Facebook page. This will mean users who happen to be clients will be able to see photos and comments that a practitioner may have made on a friend's profile page, etc. This may make the client question the practitioner's credibility" (Ly & Ratnaike, 2011, 2).
When individual logs onto the internet he or she may found a sense of information over kill since there is no filters in place to organize from the truth or the fiction of items that he or she reads, and Searching in a specific database, such as Ashford’s Library is different from searching in Bing, Google, and Yahoo. Since these set up for various individual people, where he or she wants to obtain their information from and it is up to the individual person on how they would interpreted their information. Well I like to use Google and the local library it is much easier for me too look up things in Ashford Library for example Ubiquitous Computing articles I would get lost with Ashford libraries system I have a hard time find articles with this topic. However, I would then go to Diigo search bar with look up the similar research on ubiquitous computing attempt to observer articles on this topic. The information might be extremely overwhelming when it comes to influential movement in the last century and with the terms of “ revolution” refers to a drastic change in technological revaluation
Even though the internet is not a brand new thing, this question was never brought up because of how slow it used to be and because of how many people had access to it compared to now. In this day and age the amount of people who use the internet heavily for a cornucopia of things is amazing. It has now become such an integral part of society that it seems it may be changing how our brains our working. When we do anything enough times it will start to affect our brain. If we lie all the time we will start to have a brain that is tailor made to make lying easier (Neulieb).
Even for those relatively more liberal countries, there still exist many restrictions on logging the internet. For example in USA, there are a lot of regulations or law to penalize net users issuing or posting unharmonious speeches or antihuman. Any country would not let that words flow into web as far and wide as they want. There are not so called absolute freedom in any internet area of any country. In 2011, precedent Obama also provide….
