Kling: Explain the purpose of social informatics and how researchers could use Kling's "orientations" and other concepts to study your digital life, or any place/thing/activity in the world of digital/online/information stuff?

The US should not retaliate in a cyber-war because it can cause lots of damage to our water supply, cellphone towers, trains, airport landing lights, and even our daily lives. If we were to go to war with Russia or another country that is more experienced in hacking, the results would be terrible. The other country would be able to malfunction our airplane equipment. They could make the plane go out of control, malfunction the landing gear, or take complete control over the plane. They could hack into our banks and take our money which would leave the country in debt. They could damage the stock markets and make any company go down dramatically in business.

The learning is a lifelong process (not necessary including formal education) with ultimate purpose of expanding individual opportunity in upward mobility. Educational models have evolved over the years in order to fit the criteria of its time. In the chapter “Project Classroom makeover” Duke University provost Cathy Davidson explores the possible transformation that America's education system needs to undertake in order to meet the challenges of the working place of the digital era. The rise of the hacking culture, that technologies and opportunities of that digital revolution gave birth to, became the driver of the disruption in the learning process that will lead to the end of the

What is Science? When it comes to the word ‘science’ most of the people have some kind of knowledge about science or when they think of it there is some kind of image related to it, a theory, scientific words or scientific research (Beyond Conservation, n.d.). Many different sorts of ideas float into an individual’s mind. Every individual has a different perception about science and how he/she perceives it. It illustrates that each person can identify science in some form. It indicates that the ‘science’ plays a vital role in our everyday lives (Lederman & Tobin, 2002). It seems that everyone can identify science but cannot differentiate it correctly from pseudo-science and non-science (Park, 1986). This essay will address the difference between science, non-science and pseudo-science. Then it will discuss possible responses to the question that what should we do when there is a clash between scientific explanation and non-scientific explanation. Then it will present a brief examination about the correct non-scientific explanation.

Almost 90 percent of our society now depends on complex computer based system. With the increasingly use of computer and explosive growth of the Internet has brought many good things: electronic commerce, online banking, e-mail, video conferencing etc. The improvement of systems security to prevent criminal hacker has become an important concern to society. There are many ways to protect those information systems; it seems that the Ethical Hacking is a better way. Therefore, whether to teach or not teach the "Ethical Hacking" as a course in Tertiary education has become an interesting argument. In this article will analysis the ethical, legal, and ethical implications of this issue.

In this paper, the author is arguing for a humanistic renewal of socialism and is drawing an analogy between one of the classic critiques of socialism and the new wave of science. By doing so, he is endorsing for a new wave of science that is in support of “non- mechanistic nature of the universe”(pp.614)

The use of information technology in business presents major security challenges, poses serious ethical question, and affects society in significant ways. Especially, the computer crime is a growing threat to society and is caused by the criminal or irresponsible actions of individuals who are taking advantage of the widespread use and vulnerability of computers and the Internet and other networks. It presents a major challenge to the integrity, safety, and survival of most business systems.

Internet has changed and transformed lives of society and constructed line between virtual and non-virtual communities. People remained to live in virtual world so it encouraged to encounter more deviance. Juveniles are most familiar with the internet deviance because they are more likely to attach with digital technology. Due to frequent use of internet juveniles develop hacking behaviour which involve spreading virus, altering file, infiltrating software. In one study, hacking done by juveniles provided the predictor of hacking behaviour. To get better perspective of this behaviour there are two criminological theories

I find it kind of creepy that the United States Government could one day hack into anyone's iPhone to find out any information that they wanted to obtain. I understand that it is a safety issue when it comes to terrorism in the United States and it could prevent future attacks, therefore I agree with it. I have watched too many murder mysteries that made me wonder why they did not hack the victim or culprits phone to retrieve more information. If it was legal for the government to go through emails, texts, and any other technology, it would help solve not only crimes but, future terrorist attacks. Although I agree with the FBI obtaining evidence through technology when necessary, I do not believe they should be able to hack into it just because.

The ethical issues surrounding hacking, stem from several sources mainly dealing with order and control, and information ownership. What is difficult to decipher from all the media hoopla surrounding the terms, "hacker" and "hacking" is both the simultaneous sensationalism and the condemnation of said activities. Of course just recently, even a movie was made and was appropriately called Hackers. The term and all that it implies has truly entered our popular consciousness when Hollywood has made a box office movie on it. As the advancement of computer technologies and systems of information become increasingly more and more complex in today's fast paced modern world and said technologies become an integral

Hacking is the process of gaining unauthorized access to information through various means like systems or computers. In the context of computer security, a hacker is that person who looks for weakness in a system so that they can gain access to unauthorized information. They are motivated by various reasons like protest, profits or evaluating the entire system weaknesses.

As the world becomes more and more reliant on computers the computer hacking industry is greatly rising. With people such as Kevin Mitnick, who is known as a "computer terrorist" (Kjochaiche 1), computerized information isn't safe any more. Kevin is known as "the most high-profiled computer criminal and responsible for more havoc in the computer world today."(1) He considered this a fun and easy task. He got caught and thrown into prison, but once he got out nothing changed. Kevin stated that as long as the technology is there it just calls to people to break into it. Computer hackers usually start off young, thinking that it is nothing but a little harmless fun. But as they get older, they realize it has turned into

Kevin David Mitnick was born in Los Angeles on august 6, 1963 and he attended James Monroe high school in L.A. He was a hacker, phreaker and social engineer, who was the world’s most wanted computer criminal in 90’s, He was charged for many criminal activities forfraud and computer hacking into many top companies and stealing their confidential data. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, arrested Kevin Mitnick on February 15, 1995. He spent nearly five years in a federal prison for the charges. He is now a computer security consultant, author, and an ethical hacker, who started a computer security company called “Mitnick Security Consulting, LLC” and getting paid by the companies for ethical hacking.
