How Technology Has Changed Our Lives More Comfortable And Easy

Technology is defined as machinery and equipment developed from the application of scientific knowledge. Its original use was meant solely for the service of humans, however overtime it has evolved into something much different. What was originally meant to be an assisting piece of machinery has changed almost every aspect of our culture. The way we think, communicate, lie, and even love has been impacted by the use of technology, and all of this is has made for interesting pieces of literature. In pieces such as Her and I, Robot, we see the evolution of robots and artificial intelligence into a more empathetic and humanlike creatures. This gradual change in our views of robots overtime speaks volumes to the evolution of technology. Technology in literature has become a reflection of human beings themselves, mirroring the very qualities of ourselves that make us human. By looking at the personality that technology takes on in literature, we can greater understand the aspects of ourselves that truly make us human.

There are many types of Cyber Crimes. The most common Cyber Crimes are: Hacking, Theft, Cyber Stalking, Identity Theft, Malicious Software and Child Soliciting and Abuse.

Some of the most common cyber-crimes are cyberstalking, identity theft, spam and phishing among others. Cyber stalking has been classified as one of prevalent cybercrimes with many internet users falling victims of cyber bullying. Cyber stalkers meet their victims in different ways; mostly they normally have a relationship either in the real world or online world. Cyberstalking starts when this relationship ends. However, strangers who have collected information on the internet can also be cyber stalkers. The desire to control and even harm their victims is what motivates cyber stalkers. They may go to the measures of personifying their victims and post messages or controversial posts on the boards and chat rooms. In this real regard, cyberstalking is a real crime (Mansourabadi, 2014).

The internet has brought upon a new revolution of global interconnection where contacting someone on the other side of the world is just a click away, but with this international phenomenon comes an increased susceptibility with unfamiliar technology. Internet crime is compiled of all non-physical crime with the aid of a computer. Although broad in definition internet crimes are largely composed of acts such as cyber fraud, ‘phishing’ (username and password hacking), cyber stalking and hacking.

Cyber stalking has many classifications, most include the use of threats and stalking via email, social media, or texting.

Cyber stalking can have many faces and can involve more than one person, ultimately cyberstalking is still a misconduct that often goes unnoticed in the social media realm.

One important issue a cyber stalking that many criminal justice courts as jurisdiction issues because it’s hard to place boundary is and what is considered to be cyberspace. Due to the lack of knowledge of the cyberspace world it makes it difficult for criminal justice systems to set laws to unknown concept. Fidelie (2011) asserts with access to Internet ready computers and anatomy of cyberspace cyber stalking is easy to commit while it is difficult to collect computer evidence of cyber stalking making it difficult to investigate cyber stalking

The type of internet crimes that are of concern are computer hacking and paedophilia. Hacking involves crimes like id theft, credit card fraud or “the unauthorised access and subsequent use of other people‟s computer systems.” (Taylor, 1999, p6 cited in Hennessey, 2008, 169). Accessing others computers to plant Virus and Trojans has largely become more common with the advancement in the internet. “In 1998 the FBI reported that computer intrusion incidents had increased 250% over a two year period (Lilley, 2002, p32 cited in Hennessey, 2009, p169) and subsequent studies reveal a continued upsurge in

Computer-crime or commonly referred to as Cyber-Crime or ICT Crime (van der Merwe, 2008, p.61) is a new type of criminal activity which started showing its ugly head in the early 90 's as the internet became a common place for online users worldwide. This is due to the fact that computer criminals now have the opportunity to gain access to sensitive information if they possess the necessary know-how. This generally causes huge problems in the economic sphere and results in companies and individuals having to take costly steps to ensure their safety and reduction in commission of cyber-crime (Gordon, 2000, p.423). Cybercrime or also known as computer crime can be defined as any criminal activity that involves a computer and can be divided into two

Cybercrimes is a crime that is used through a computer device and a computer network. Many computers have been used to commit crimes, and it may target individual or groups to harm a victim intentionally. Basically, computers are used in several different roles of criminal activity and it affects our individual privacy. For example, criminals normally target computer networks or devices such as computer viruses identify theft, scams, terrorism, and copyright infringement. Today, the three of most common computer crimes are information security systems, social networking and copyright infringement. Unfortunately, the internet has impacted upon criminal and/or harmful activity in three main ways-this is after discounting the fact that many of the behaviors that have been identified as cybercrimes are not actually crimes as such but invoke civil remedies instead (Wall, 200a).

Convicted computer hacker, John Lee, a founder of the infamous “Master’s of Deception” hacker group stated that he could change credit card records and bank balances, get free limousines, airplane tickets, and hotel rooms (without anyone being billed), change utility and rent rates, distribute computer software programs free to all over the internet, and easily obtain insider trading information. Imagine………this is just one person. Think of all the hundreds of “hackers” that are out there. Computer stalking. One type of computer criminal rapidly emerging is the “cyber stalker”. One such stalker, the pedophile, surfs the net looking to build relationships with young boys or girls and then sets out to meet them in person to pursue his/her sexual intensions. This type of activity also leads to sellers of child pornography over the internet. Virtual crimes. Stock and bond fraud is already appearing on the internet. Stocks and bonds that appear on the market are actively traded (for a short period of time) and then disappear. These stocks and bonds are nonexistent-only the electronic impulses are read. One must note, however, no matter how clever the hacker, the most serious security threat in most enterprises is password theft. Password stealing is the “holy grail” of hacking. Once a username/password combination has been found, the hacker has free rein to exploit that user account. Firewalls, intrusion detection

While surfing the internet, I came across an interesting article written on how the use of technology is endangering people 's privacy. Unlike any generation that came before us, we live in a time where technology plays a significant role in our daily lives. Even to a point that we can 't do much without it. We rely on our phones, computers, and the GPS in our cars to go on about our day. It came into my concern how vulnerable we are. We are constantly sharing information like our past history, current identity, bank account information and even our location in return for different services that are provided on the internet by different companies. Since the internet offers a large number of prospective audiences, ease of access, anonymity, combined with a rapid flow of information it opens the door for a crime. What is now referred to cybercrime? My goal in this paper is to explore the cyber world and the crimes committed every day using sources I found and to discuss the impact of this technology on the private lives of people.

There are many different types of internet crime. First, it is incredibly easy to hide one’s identity on the internet. Most people use “user names” as opposed to actual names, therefore anyone can choose anything for their name. Some people do this just so they can feel like they can be who ever they want to be
