Features and impact of technology
The document discusses the impact of technology on distribution, business, society, and individuals. It notes that some regions like North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and China heavily censor the internet and block thousands of websites. For business, technology increases cybercrime risks but also enables new opportunities. The impacts on society are mixed - technology provides medical advances but also replaces human jobs and interaction. For individuals, social media allows greater connection while cybercrime and addiction to devices are negative effects. The conclusion advocates using technology to help and serve people, not the other way around, by controlling limits on its use.

Where does cyberbullying occur? by Francis Jane Abdon
Cyberbullying most often occurs on social media sites like Facebook, where an annual study found that 92.6% of teens surveyed had witnessed it. Other common sites include YouTube, Twitter, and instant messaging or texting. While chat rooms were once a major site of cyberbullying, today it has shifted to social media platforms where teens spend much of their online time. The anonymous and anytime/anywhere nature of cyberbullying makes it difficult to detect and stop.
Negative Effects Of Technology On Children
The document discusses the types of technology children use, including computers, cell phones, and video game consoles. It then describes three negative effects technology can have on children's writing skills, social skills, and ability to focus in class. While technology may help writing through features like spellcheck, it prevents children from learning from their mistakes.

This document discusses how the digital world that kids are growing up in today is very different than the world parents were raised in. It is always connected, media rich, and socially networked. This affects conversations parents have with their kids and requires more education and diligence from parents. While technology is involved, the document argues the issues are not just technology problems. It briefly covers topics like cell phone usage, texting/sexting, social networking, and bullying. It provides some suggestions for parents on setting limits and controls with phones and social media and resources for getting more information.

Internet Safety and Chldren
The document discusses risks and opportunities children face online. It summarizes research from a 2010 EU Kids Online survey of 25,000 children which found that internet use provides both opportunities and risks for children. While many fears about online risks exist, actual reported harm is often lower. Risky behavior tends to come from older, male, or more vulnerable children and increases with greater internet use and knowledge, though harm may decrease with age. The document provides strategies for parents to engage with children online to help manage risks.

advantage and disadvantage of technology
This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of technology. It begins by defining technology as the electronic machines and systems people use daily, like cell phones and computers. It then explores how technology has greatly impacted society by changing how people communicate, work, and spend their time. While technology allows for easier communication and entertainment, overreliance on devices can reduce real-world social interaction. The document also examines specific technologies like the cell phone, internet, hardware and software. It outlines both benefits of technology, such as improved communication and education, and drawbacks such as health risks from radiation and less time spent outdoors.
Online Safety 3.0: From Fear to Empowerment
Larry Magid discusses the evolution of approaches to online safety. Early approaches in the 1990s focused on protecting children from pornography and predators online (Safety 1.0). Later approaches recognized risks from peers, such as cyberbullying (Safety 2.0). However, Magid argues for a new approach called Safety 3.0 that is research-based, respects youth agency, and focuses on empowerment. Safety 3.0 teaches media literacy, citizenship, and critical thinking; views youth as stakeholders rather than just victims; and promotes safety for good outcomes rather than just from bad outcomes. Magid advocates moving past fear-based approaches to online safety education.

Ethical issues
This document discusses several ethical issues related to technology use in schools. It provides three examples: 1) inappropriate use of school computers for shopping, 2) commercial entities offering free technology in exchange for student use, and 3) criminal activity inspired by pop culture like an attack posted online. It notes technology is increasingly present but ethical guidelines have not been agreed upon. It argues character is revealed without oversight and some students make good decisions while others do not. The document calls for cyber ethics training to build student awareness of how online actions can still harm people.
Social media assignment
Technology has greatly impacted society over the past few years through rapid advances in computing and communication. It has affected many aspects of everyday life, work, and school. While technology has improved work performance and made communication more essential, it has also made people lazier and replaced some jobs. Both computers and cell phones now play important communication roles in society, but excessive use can isolate and replace in-person interaction. The document discusses both the positive and negative effects of increasing technology use on modern life.

BYO or Bring Your Own devices has become a controversial issue for companies as it allows employees to use personal devices for work purposes. While BYO can potentially save companies money and increase employee productivity, it also brings significant security risks if not implemented properly. These risks include exposed corporate data, loss of device control, and compatibility issues. Ultimately, how well or poorly BYO works depends on establishing clear policies, deploying mobile device management solutions, and ensuring users receive proper training and understand security requirements when using personal devices for work.Digital reputations

Data Exceeding Voice
Global data usage has surpassed voice calls as the primary type of mobile network traffic. Spending on data has tripled in the past two years while voice spending declines. Texting and social media have replaced phone calls as the main form of mobile communication for catching up with friends and coordinating events. Today's mobile devices have evolved far beyond simple communication tools - they now incorporate cameras, apps, GPS, and act as learning aids for children. It is expected that by 2015, more people will access the Internet via mobile than computer.

Assignment 2
Digital technology has greatly impacted lives by enabling better communication through video calling services. This has allowed families and friends to stay connected during the pandemic. While computers were initially very large, expensive, and limited to universities and the military in the 1950s, the internet has since revolutionized to become integrated into everyday life for many consumers. People now use various digital devices and access the internet for activities like online shopping, banking, messaging, and watching videos. However, overreliance on technology can also have negative effects like internet addiction, loss of impulse control, and costs associated with internet access.
The Digital Divide in the United States and WorldwideThe gap bet.docx
The Digital Divide in the United States and Worldwide
The gap between those who have access to the Internet through technology and those who do not is called the digital divide.9 Some people have Internet access through computers, cell phones, and other devices; others do not. People in developing countries often have less Internet access than people in developed countries; and within developed countries, persons of color and the less affluent often have less access. The presence of a digital divide is a problem because less advantaged individuals and societies may not enjoy the same benefits of technology as others.
In the United States, the government has acted to break down the digital divide.
The U.S. government launched a $7 billion effort to expand access, chiefly thorough grants to build wired and wireless systems in the most technologically neglected areas of the country. This government effort subsidized Internet upgrades for schools and libraries and provided digital textbooks in poor and rural areas. The falling prices of laptops and the newest generation of cell phones and Internet-enabled handheld devices enabled Internet access to be more affordable to many. The government also provided free cell phones and up to 250 free minutes for individuals who qualified, such as people seeking housing or job opportunities.10
By 2013, nearly 98 percent of American homes were able to access the Internet on some sort of high-speed broadband network, either at home or work.11
Some experts argued that the most important issue going forward was not access, but educating Americans on how the Internet could be a valuable aid for job hunting, acquiring health insurance, and accessing government services and other benefits. Yet, some pointed out that Internet access was still be too expensive for a majority of families in the poorest U.S. cities. The U.S. Census Bureau data reported that less than 50 percent of households (about 31 million) in the most economically depressed cities in the United States had access to broadband service.12
Globally, progress in narrowing the digital divide was slower, but there appeared to be reasons for optimism. Many businesses saw providing Internet access at the bottom of the pyramid as a lucrative business opportunity.
Smartphone maker BlackBerry unveiled a new model exclusively targeting mobile phone users in Indonesia in 2014. Its low-cost touch-screen model retailed for 2.2 million rupiah, or about $190, and contained a number of special applications for Indonesian users, including local banking and travel services and a directory of halal food outlets, critical in the world’s largest Muslim-majority country. Google, Facebook, and other companies joined forces to fund the Alliance for Affordable Internet, a global coalition seeking to bring down the cost of getting online for individuals in developing countries. Intel partnered with African phone manufacturers to bring down the price of smartphones running on I.
Global Data Exceeding Voice
Global mobile data usage has surpassed voice calls as the primary use of mobile networks. Data traffic now makes up over half of all mobile network traffic, fueled by growing use of messaging apps, social media, and mobile internet access on smartphones. Spending on data services has tripled in just two years, reflecting shifting communication preferences of mobile users towards electronic messaging and away from traditional voice calls. Experts predict that by 2015, more people will access the internet using mobile devices rather than computers.

The internet has revolutionized communication globally and allows information to be shared instantly. Consumer trends around online video consumption, e-commerce, voice assistants, and more are also discussed to show how technology continues evolving to meet people's needs.
Mobile technologies: are you remotely interested 21 01 14
This document discusses the rise of mobile internet access and its implications for mobile learning. It notes that internet access via mobile phones more than doubled from 2010 to 2012, with over half of adults now accessing the internet on their mobile phones daily. Younger age groups especially are using social media and the internet on the go. The document then outlines various mobile apps that can be used for activities like reading, writing, research, collaboration, and evidence collection that are relevant for student learning. It stresses the importance of increasing students' digital literacy and discusses resources for e-safety.
11 Reasons Why Your Company Could Be In Danger
The document outlines 11 statistics that demonstrate the severity of security risks posed by mobile devices and the importance of mobile security for businesses. Some key points include: 92% of popular Android apps carry security or privacy risks; mobile malware increased 33% in 2013; 35% of online adults have lost or had their mobile device stolen; only 20% of emails sent were legitimate as spam increased to 76% of email traffic; and the average cost of a data breach is $5.5 million. The document emphasizes that mobile devices now pose one of the largest threats to enterprise data security and strict security policies and employee training are needed.
Mobile 101 for Higher Education
This document provides an overview of mobile trends among students and how higher education institutions are responding. It discusses how students today are digital natives who rely heavily on mobile devices and social media. While most colleges have been slow to adopt mobile strategies, mobile access is becoming fundamental to how students experience college. The document argues that by providing mobile optimized websites and applications, colleges can better engage and connect with students.
Pip future of_apps_and_web
Experts expect that apps and the web will converge in the cloud, driven by trends in mobile devices, cloud computing, and app usage. While apps provide simplicity, some worry this could come at the cost of losing aspects of an open web. A survey of technology experts found that most believed the web would remain strong, but others felt apps would dominate users' online experiences by 2020. The outcomes may involve elements of both scenarios.
Quantcast mobile-and-me
1) Mobile devices have become integral to people's lives and how they spend their leisure time. People use mobile devices to communicate, shop, research purchases, and be entertained.
2) Market research found that people spend a significant amount of their leisure time on mobile devices researching purchases even if they ultimately buy the item elsewhere. This presents an opportunity for brands to influence consumers' purchase journeys.
3) For mobile advertising to be effective, it needs to be relevant, creative, and provide a good user experience. People find irrelevant mobile ads intrusive and it negatively impacts their perception of brands. Tailoring ads to individuals increases people's likelihood of purchasing from those brands.
Smartphones
Smartphones provide advantages of constant internet connectivity and access to applications, but can also be distracting and addictive. While smartphones allow for increased productivity through mobile work access, research also shows they lower productivity as people spend more time on unrelated activities online or on their phones. Studies find smartphone addiction can be treated similarly to drug addiction, and that divided attention between phones and tasks results in missed targets at work and lower pass rates in school. Overall, smartphones were meant to enhance technology but poor self-control in their use makes them problematic in settings where concentration is needed like work or education.
Smartphones
Smartphones provide advantages of constant connectivity and access to information, but can also be distracting and addictive. While smartphones may increase productivity for some workers by enabling mobile access, research also shows they lower productivity for many as people spend significant time on non-work activities. Studies find smartphone addiction can be treated similarly to drug addiction, and that smartphones negatively impact families as people spend more time on their devices than with family. Research on businesses found divided attention between work and social media on smartphones reduces productivity and meeting targets.

While smartphones may increase productivity for some workers, research shows they lower productivity for many others as people spend more time on unrelated activities online. Studies also find smartphones negatively impact family time, concentration in school, and can be as addictive as drugs. Statistics show rapid growth in smartphone ownership and use over a short period. In conclusion, while smartphones advanced technology, the lack of self-control in their use makes them problematic in work and school environments.
