Dr. Elliot's Mr. Robot

The word, robot, is defined as “a person who acts and responds in a mechanical, routine manner”, (dictionary.com). In the beginning of Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt, Mr. Hoodhood acted like a robot who showed people that he only cares about himself, but later on in the book he showed that he loves Heather and cares about Holling and has blood running through his veins.

The internet represents a medium for both liberty and control. However, it can be used a a tool of control and dominance, increasing governmental power, enhancing government ability to monitor its citizens and potentially control individuals. the NSA uses supercomputers to hack even encrypted systems. This opens a wider door for hackers; it leaves us more vulnerable to being hacked by others, and not just the

In “Welcome to the Matrix: Enslaved by Technology and the Internet of Things”, John W. Whitehead talks about how Americans are so caught up with the idea of the internet making our lives easier that no one thinks about what the government could be doing with all the information that technology is allowing them to acquire. Whitehead talks about how dangerous this could be and how the government could have total control over our lives. He explains technologies built for houses that can perform tasks such as detecting when you enter and exit your house, your sleep habits, can set the temperature on the thermostat based on who is there and what temperature they’re comfortable in, and an alert system that could tell you if your children don’t

When the book 1984, by George Orwell, was first published, people thought very little of the world that had been created within the book. In this world, society was run by the Inner Party, whose "leader" is Big Brother. Big Brother is the embodiment of the Party; he is the one who controls everything. He controls food ration, living arrangements, work positions, privacy, and even a person's mind. Privacy did not exist. In modern times, many aspects of the anti-utopian novel are beginning to appear in society. One of the major factors that are becoming more and more like Big Brother is the Internet. More specifically, Google, a very popular search engine, has been ridiculed and attacked for certain policies it has and does not have that resemble Big Brother's antics. Google is under suspicion as being the next Big Brother by many parties, including an organization under Privacy International called Google Watch, because of their disregard of privacy, specifically, accessing its users' hard disk information off their computer (Brandt).

Don’t Track Me, a seven part internet-based documentary, gave incredible insight to how we are monitored as we use the internet. This documentary made several key points about the social consequences of surveillance. Not only are we signing away different parts of our privacy by hitting the “accept” button when we access public WiFi, we are feeding an industry that thrives on selling what it finds out about us as we browse through our Facebook news feed. Don’t Track Me argues that we should care about surveillance because it is hidden in everything that we do. We are being tracked everywhere we go, and with every internet-enabled device we use. This tracking is being sold to different companies: they are profiting off of invading your privacy.

Can you imagine a future where one must be connected to the Internet in order to function in society? Will there come a day when everyone and everything will be constantly monitored and tracked by the government? These futuristic prospects are often related to scenes from science-fiction films, where many ‘visions of the future’ are adapted to create an advanced society. In these films, innovations in technology is usually the focus point, where audiences explore what life would be like and the effects of technology in a futuristic society.

Mr. Robot is a television show created by Sam Esmail that originally released in June of 2015. It is by far one of the most thrilling and entertaining shows whose primary subject is hacking and cybersecurity. Every actor in the show lends a tremendous amount of talent, but the one who I believe defines the show is its star, Rami Malek. Rami is capable of delivering a performance that gets viewers hooked immediately. The audience is able to understand everything that motivate Rami’s character, Elliot, just from the pilot episode. The episode I am choosing to focus on is season 1 episode 7, eps1.6_v1ew-s0urce.flv. Throughout this paper I aim to truly explain why I believe that Rami is a great actor and what techniques I notice based on the show

The dictionary meaning of robot is a mechanical man or a more than humanity efficient automation.

Common users are not always safe from the dangers they are exposed to. And while there are numerous helpful and beneficial features one can find there, these good things are balanced out by the dangers one can encounter in the cyberspace.

In this era of technological advances, people are unaware of the high risk of exposure of their personal information. While each of the networks that make up the Internet is owned by a public or private organization, no single organization or government owns or controls the Internet. According to a study conducted by the UNDOC, at least 2.3 billion people, the equivalent of more than one third of the world’s total population, had access to the internet in 2011. The study also forecasted that by 2020, the number of networked devices will outnumber people by six to one which could sharply increase the rate of cybercrime.

There is a false sense of security experienced when someone is blissfully ignorant of certain details or lead to believe that they are indeed safe. For something that is practically essential to human life in an industrial nation, this false sense of security is a hidden danger. With so many people accessing a necessity and not realizing that this technology is insecure, there is an obvious problem. Unfortunately, a lot of people are nice and cozy with their ignorance of the issue. These people rely on the internet for various activities on a daily basis. Most computer users have some basic sense of safety while using the internet: they don't enter personal information online, abstain from clicking advertisements and refrain from

The internet and other communications technologies are promoting progress in almost every attribute of society and all over the world. For instance, supporting trade, bettering education and health care, fostering participating in democracy in the United States and abroad, and enabling communications among family and friends, whether in the neighborhood or around the globe. Regrettably, may of the qualities of this technology, low cost, ease of use, and anonymous nature, among others, make it an appealing medium for fraudulent scams, child sexual exploitation, and increasingly, a new concern referred as cyberstalking.

The internet is currently being used for all sorts of activities such as browsing, messaging, music, news and on top of it for financial transactions. This is the reason why many people are getting this opportunity to misuse it for the purposes it not meant for i.e. for harming others by using internet tools both in financial and personal terms. There are group of people on internet whose only job is to get involved in such unlawful activities and make money by using other people’s sensitive information.
