Week 13: Cyber Terrorism

Cyber terrorism, an issue that is becoming more and more prevalent as we enter the cyber realm where people are staying connecting, doing business, communicating, networking, and doing almost all activities of the day through the internet. Terrorism, defined, is the use of violence or threats to intimidate or persuade that produces fear and terror in an individual to produce a result in the favor of the person harassing for their wants (Dictionary.com). Cyber Terrorism is a fact and an issue that is becoming more of an issue every day. CyberTerrorism is an act that produces harm or fear to individuals though the hacking or breaking in to political, social, business, or any network in the cyber world where information is stolen for the means of breaking doing infrastructures. I think that CyberTerroism is a major issue and that if hackers can successful break into these networks then they can steal identities, government plans, top-secret information and can cost lives. With more and more people basing their lives off of the internet and how people entrust the cyber world with all of their personal, business, and social information CyberTerrorism is a serious and very real situation.

Week 12: Choir

For the Choir project I am in group 5. This group is in charge of gathering more complaints for the complaint choir to sing about. I took it apon my self to go out side of the tempe region to gather more diverse complaints and differernt ones for us to sing about. I gathered information from all over the city through friends, family, my job, the region where I live and just random people. This is just a work in progess data set and will be gathering more information by our class tuesday. It is still a work in progress and will be gathering much more complaints for the class.

Week 11

As discussed in class this week China’s control over their internet is very strict to say the least when you are comparing it to how the Unites States control their internet. One fact that amazes me is how they control the information that can be processed and given out to the public when dealing with the news. I think that this makes it very difficult for people to get another side of stories that they hear because there is such a limited amount of networks and people that are allowed to give the news. So, people are really only getting one side of the story and some people will never know what is going on or hear a different view. This brings up a huge issue, I think, of people not ever getting their voice heard at all. The major problem in China is: Are they people’s voice being drowned out by the government? I think, yes. The way that a government can truly function and function in the best way is by getting the citizens of that country’s voice heard and China’s is failing in this area for the most part I think. They are controlling what is going on, but I think it is going a little too far.
