Essay about Internet Security
Internet Security
Security is crucial to any flourishing society such as the one in which we Americans live today.
Imagine if there was no law enforcement in New York City. No one except criminals would dare
to walk down the streets. People would live in fear every day. No one would work and no one
could enjoy nature and the outdoors. We would all barricade ourselves indoors, only daring to
venture outside into the dangerous world when we absolutely needed to. Everything would be
different.
Thinking of the Internet as a society, or a global community, one can also apply this notion of the
importance of security. Imagine if everyone had access to all the files on every individual's and
every business's computers. It...show more content...
Posing as a branch manager, he used the code to transfer $13 million from Security Pacific to his
Swiss bank account" (Zviran & Haga, 163). Another major security breach happened when "German
hackers penetrated military, government, and commercial computer systems... looking for military
information that could be sold to the Soviet Union." As exemplified by these crimes, the Internet has
security holes just as any country, including America, does. Whether big banks or our own
government, criminals will always be trying to find ways to take advantage of people, companies,
and countries... and where there's a will, there's a way.
What is satisfying to know is that these online criminals pay for their crimes just as anyone in real
life pay for theirs. For example, an article at sciencedirect.com reports that a "17–year–old computer
hacker responsible for denial–of–service attacks that crippled several Web sites... has been sentenced
to eight months in a juvenile detention center" (http://www.sciencedirect.com). It is reassuring to
know that special Internet police units are out to keep the Internet safe just as they do for our streets.
People love technology because we love convenience. Technology increases convenience. This is

Essay on Internet Communication
Since the invention and popularization of the internet, computer mediated communication has
become an increasingly common mode of socialization. Many people have voiced the concern that
the move away from physical communication might have negative repercussions for society;
however, socialization on the internet has a number of advantages over traditional socialization. The
internet provides a larger pool of potential social contacts compared to physically seeking people,
creates means for people to easily communicate when spatially or temporally disconnected and
allows a comfortable atmosphere for communication. At any given moment there are more people
available for socialization on the internet then there are people with which one...show more content...
When communicating through an instant messenger, one can send messages while conversational
partners are away from their computers and the partners will still see the messages when they return.
Not only do they not need to be physically present, they do not even need to be participating in the
conversation at the exact same time. This makes computer mediated communication one of the
easiest means of transmitting information. Physical communication is more intimidating them
communicating through typing. Typing allows one more time to think and reword one's thoughts
before communicating them. Further, the fact that people cannot see the physical reaction of their
conversational partners makes it easier to communicate about difficult topics. This is especially
helpful shy people. Shy individuals who do not use the internet for communication have less social
contacts then shy people who do socialize on the internet3. Most people have some degree of shyness
; communicating through the internet helps alleviate the negative effects of shyness and makes
socializing more comfortable. Some would argue that the above benefits are irrelevant because
online social encounters rarely result in a social relationship. Although it is true that many
encounters on the internet do not lead to meaningful social relationships, the same can be said about
physical social encounters. For example, two people who meet while riding a bus might speak
during the

The Internet and Technology Essay
The Internet and Technology
Technology today has made an impact in our everyday lives. Technology offers many advances in
the world. One of the areas of impact is in the field of education. An important technological
advance has been movies and videos. Some would say these have become vital teaching tools.
Technology as a whole has made way for several new conventions, some good, and some bad. While
there are several advantages to using technology to enhance education, there are also several
disadvantages. Technology as it is used today can improve the knowledge a student attains. However,
the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. As Christians we need to be aware of the many things
that technology has to offer us so that our...show more content...
Many different students learn in many different ways. For example some are visual learners, others
are oral learners and still, others are the kind of students who must take notes several times before
they fully understand a concept. Technology gives students an interesting way to learn, it helps those
students that are visual learners, rather than verbal learners. It helps students become individual
learners, offering a plethora of websites for students to look up and learn from on their own.
On the other hand, technology can be a detriment to students. First of all, teachers put too much
emphasis on the appearance of assignments, such as the pictures and the font type and the format,
rather than paying attention to the actual quality of the assignment. Students spend more time on
finding pictures, typing up their work in special fonts, and focusing on the looks of their papers,
rather than focusing on the important things, such as the thesis statements, organization and details
the paper contains. "Students spend too much time creating high–tech presentations that don't offer
significant improvements over traditional slide shows, oral presentations, index cards and all"
(Bassett 75). This isn't teaching the student anything except that looks are more important than
content. Is that what we want to teach the next generation of students? "Teachers should not allow
the glitter and power of high technology to distract them from focusing their

Dangers of the Internet Essay
Dangers of the Internet
There are many pitfalls and perils on the Internet. Some of them are easy to avoid while other are
not so obvious. Some of the Pitfalls and perils are annoying, while others are deadly to your
computer. Still others are humorous and entertaining. There are many dangers on the Internet. This
paper will try to cover some of them.
The biggest dangers of the Internet are virus. Viruses are small programs that "infect" computers.
Most viruses are made to "steal" and or "destroy" data stored on the infected computer. Viruses, that
destroy data, write their code into a file and when that file is accessed it rewrites itself in to more files
until the virus corrupters or "infects" a file that the computer needs to run...show more content...
E–mailed Viruses are harder to avoid. Opening an attached file can trigger them or by touching the
message that contains the attached file and then the file menu bar of the E–mail program. (Email
Hole Exposes Computers) The seconded way to start a virus is because of a hole in Netscape's mail
program and also MS's Outlook. A new way for Viruses to be spread by E
–mail is to put the whole
code for the virus in the subject line that way when the computer read the subject line it
unwittingly activated the virus. The newest way for people to get viruses is through the web
pages. This is done by putting the virus code into a script on the web page, now when the page is
accessed the viruses executes the viruses code. (Virus Thrives on HTML) This can make a virus
very prolific if a lot of people visit the web page.
Crackers use viruses for their destructive ways. Crackers are people who go out of their way to
cause damage to other peoples systems through the use of viruses and direct hacking. Crackers
are not hackers. Calling a Cracker a hacker is like comparing a red delicious apple to a golden
delicious apple. Hackers are computer enthuses that hack, break in to, systems in order to learn
about the system. Hackers as a rule do not do any damage to the system. Crackers are the ones to
give hackers bad repartitions. Crackers use virus

We become mere signal processing units, quickly shepherding disjointed bits of information into and
then out of short–term memory. Carr illustrates how the Internet is making us more superficial as
thinkers. He also states how the internet is an information rich environment that the net creates for
us and that's why we use it so much, he refers to words, sounds, pictures, texts and what this tends to
do for us is promote a sort of compulsive behavior which we're constantly checking our smartphone,
constantly glancing at our e–mail inbox, and we are living in this perpetual state of distraction and
interruption which is dangerous according to Carr because that mode of thinking, crowds out the
more contemplate and calmer mode of thinking, and that focused calmed thinking is actually how
we learn. That is a process is named memory consolidation. That means that the process of
information from our short term working memory to our long term memory and its through moving
information from your working memory to your long term memory that you create connections
between that information and everything else you know. Carr believes that "attention is the key, and
if we loose control of our attention or are constantly dividing our attention then we don't really enjoy
that consolidation process". I disagree with this quote because I believe that we can also enjoy that

competitive advantage over the Information Technology (IT) companies, JEIS focuses on constantly

Essay by R. Guppy
Internet Filtering in Workplace
Although both speakers make good points about workplace internet use.
In the first place, Justine Timmons has a better argument because workers may tend to visit social
media, which will allow them to get distracted from their job duties. People post a lot of scandal on
the website, there are also instances where depending on the websites you visit, could create viruses,
because they may be inappropriate material.

The Internet is a Blessing
Ever imagined what the world was like before the internet was invented? Ever wondered how
people managed before the invention of computers by Charles Babbage? Well take a look into
the world of computers: a life saver that many persons rely on daily for their needs. Yes, it is the
internet. The Internet is the largest information resource comprised of a network of hundreds of
millions of computers located throughout the world (Johnson, 7). It consists of a set of computers,
a set of physical (or wireless) links, and a set of rules or protocols governing the exchange of
information between them (1995). The invention of the Advanced Research Projects Agency was
one of the world largest networks (ARPANET) in 1969. It was one of the world's first operational
packet switching networks, the first network to implement TCP/IP and the progenitor of what was to
become the global Internet (Kleinrock). The ARPANET served as the new era for many
individuals as there was no longer a need to travel with the heavy burden of textbooks. Also,
because the Internet is accessible to anyone, it is inexpensive and can be afforded by most. Not
only is it used to research information and ideas, but it has also been proven to be a more rapid and
efficient means of communication all around the world. Skillfully used, the internet reduces the
world and brings information, expertise, and knowledge on nearly every subject imaginable to one's
computer. There is so much information that is derived from

an individual can't make a difference. Also, because they think that the Amazon forest will never be
destroyed and my audience doesn't know about the terrible consequences that the destruction of the
Amazon Forest can bring to this planet. I think that my audience can think that why should they
worry for something that doesn't belong to the US? Therefore, I will show them the global

During one's spare time, one may decide either to play an online game or to join a chat room. The
objective person may say that browsing the Internet and performing that kind of activity
encourages laziness but I beg to differ. The virtual world can actually be constructive. It
stimulates the mind to try a wide range of games right in arms length. You will be able to choose
which game satisfies your desire. In addition, chat rooms allow you to meet new people and learn
about different cultures by interaction and helps in your conversation skills. Since the person is not
visual, there is no need to fear having a conversation because the confidence level should grow
behind the scenes. A chat room is a way to learn, talk and socialize (Crystal).
Meanwhile, business is another addition to what the Internet has to offer. Businessmen and women
both utilize the Internet for so many reasons. It comes in handy for advertising purposes, which
brings forth the term E–commerce. Ecommerce is the concept used for any type of commercial
maneuvering, or business deals that involves the transfer of information across the globe via Internet
(Pakhare). This will target a wider network of potential customers rather than seclude it to one area.
Can this be harmful? It is more of an asset to the businessperson. Likewise, the average person
performs business online too. They flock towards online banking services, which is more convenient
to conduct transactions and view

Essay on My Internet Experience
My Internet Experience
When I first head about the Internet, the first thing that ran through my mind was that computers
are going to take over the world. I have a very negative outlook. I thought people were never going
to come out of their home, because now they are going base their whole life around the computer.
My view was that computers were evil and they disconnect humans from nature. I never cared to
even see for myself what everyone was talking about. I thought that it was too hyped and mainstream
and of course I did not want to fall into the mainstream category. I assumed anybody spending that
much time infront of a computer must be a total geek without friends. This all changed when my best

I imagined a whole new world, being able to communicate, send pictures and letter instantly. All of a
sudden I felt as if I was in a future Sci–Fi movie, clicking one word and having many many sites
opening up to me. It was too good to be true. All those days spending in the library amongst books,
files and research materials, were all under one click of a button. I laughed at myself because it all
seemed so hard because I had feared the Internet world and now it was easy as pie.
As I continued my searching, I typed many different words. I found this site called "Yahoo",
which you can practically find anything, anytime. It gave me a list of 7 categories. The word I
had chosen at the time was "Faeries", and I got so many sites that again I did not know which one
to pick. So I picked one and it was the most beautiful one of all. It had so many links and beautiful
romantic pictures, along with poetry. I thought I was never going to leave the computer now. It
is my new best friend and it always agrees with me and listens to me. I now knew what I wanted
for my birthday present, a labtop. How quickly was I influenced! The more I searched the web,
the more I realized it is infinite. I decided to choose the word Chakra. I got a list of sites and I
chose www.astralnet.net/energylinks.htm. I chose this site because it had the word Kundalini,
which is a form of a Chakra. I looked this word up because
I was introduced to it by Dr.Roger

Essay about Internet Privacy and Security
Technology is great in so many ways. It has provided us with more communication access, access
to knowledge at our finger tips, and so much more. Technology has overall made life easier, but
maybe too easy, and has made things a lot less private. This results in us having to be extra careful
with security on the internet. Internet security is important to protect our privacy, protect us from
fraud, and from viruses that could destroy a piece of our technology. Internet privacy and security
may be different but share a responsibility, but it is up to us to take personal responsibility to protect
ourselves on the internet. We should pick unique, carful passwords, and never share this sensitive
information, and encrypt our data when online....show more content...

not password protect their phones (2012 Info–graphic Highlights).
These statistics above only prove the importance of security on the internet. We all have to do our
part in protecting ourselves when online. Privacy and security on the internet are both supported by
our ability to protect our own personal information when
