Task 5.1


Q.5.1) Living in the 21st century, technology seems to be one of the things that keeps advancing, and it has come to a point, where it has become a big part of people’s lives.

One of the major changes in the digital world, is the ability to connect and communicate with each other from anywhere at any time.  Therefore, one cannot argue the significance of quick and easy communication, as well as more knowledge gained about the go abouts of everyday life on social media.  Technology has become of so much importance in our everyday life, as it is being used for purposes such as, when something needs to be fixed, instead of paying someone to do it, people google for ways on how to fix that specific thing.  Another purpose is that, when conflicts arise or when there are just certain complications, be it in one’s personal life, social life, business environment etc, solutions to these situations is also being googled. 

The restricting of digital rights, therefore has a negative impact on citizens in countries where digital rights are not extended to the majority of its citizens.  The negative impacts being, depriving these citizens from a social life outside their country’s boarders, as well as people not knowing what’s going on in the world.  This sets a huge limit on people’s lives, physically, mentally and economically.


Everyone should have the right to be exposed to digital rights, as this world and everything that happens in it, has effects on the people living in it.  

Task 4

Q.4) As we all know people are free to make use of the electronic world, how and whichever way they like and because they are aware of such rights, they post and use the internet as well as electronics inappropriately.  This is where inappropriate digital conduct comes in.  Employees tend to use their work gadgets for personal use, children tend to serve restricted areas of the internet and people post inappropriate pictures, videos and statuses online.  This has a negative impact on society, as people give themselves and people they associate themselves with bad reputations.  Children of today have also become computer literal, and are being heavily influenced by all they see online.

Task 3.1

THE INTERNET OF THINGS

‘The internet of Things’, is a referenced phrase to any device or gadget, that can be connected to the internet.  It is a phrase that people believe has been made by a British technology pioneer, that goes by the name of Kevin Ashton.

I believe that this concept will be of a great impact on businesses and the society in the future, as it will make life easier.  In a sense that, it would speed up the human movement of doing tasks more effectively.  It will be like a third hand, that works automatically.  What I mean by a third hand in the business world, instead of typing an e-mail, a voice recognition can be installed on computers, to speed up the process of sending and receiving messages.  Meaning instead of typing, one simply just verbally respond and the computer types what is said, and sends the e-mail.  As a third hand in the society,
