Final Assignment:


Anonymous (used as a mass noun) is an international hacking group, spread through the Internet, initiating active civil disobedience, while attempting to maintain anonymity.

During the past years anonymous made lots of different hacking threats to some web pages; Facebook, to bank accounts and lots of other technological items.



















WIKILEAKS WEB PAGE

On 4 October of 2006, Julian Assange, as "The Sunshine Press" launched WIKILEAKS, an international non-profit organisation that publishes submissions of private, secret, and classified media from anonymous news sources, news leaks, and whistle blowers. This is also an example of hacking as a way of communicating different ideas or thoughts to the society.

The web page shows lots of different images and videos. Nowadays the organization lacks of money for it to keep communicating the United States leaks and secret plans. In my opinion WIKILEAKS is in its right for it to show what the world is hiding and its bad for the government to make it difficult for the organization to transmit its ideals and opinions.

Technology in education

a) A password protected site is a page which requires users and passwords so as to log in and be able to operate the web page.


b) The user would need: - Username and password, otherwise he wont be able to get in the page. Other thing they will need is the need to using the page, because it will make no sense in creating a user if the info


c) Students can access useful information, such as homework or any stuff in case the student is absent, then he can easily catch up.


d) Nowadays most of the teachers do not have many IT skills making password protecting their web pages very difficult and time wasting. Teachers also return from schools tired to protect their web pages and they eventually leave their sites without protection. In conclusion I think that the security method of some web sites should be more accessible for people with IT limitation skills and knowledge.

1.      Political Process
      The fist site explains the different types of technology that could be implemented when voting, lobbying which is persuading legislators to vote for something, and the free movement of data. It shows pros and cons and it seems to be a reasonable web page.

2.       Government Administration
This website also shows the different uses of technology. There may not be exact definitions and ideas of the statements but it give a good general idea. It may be outdated and unreliable
4.       Police
It shows a few ways on the technology used in the police such as video surveilance and DNA tests. Its shows very few information and it may not be very reliable
6.       Rebel and Terrorist
It shows a lot of data but it may be too much. It doesnt go straight to the point but it defines the concepts properly. It is a reliable source.
7.       Politics - Berlusconi Google Bombing Video
This is a perfect example of "Google Bombing", where an user types 'miserable' and it is redirected to Italy's Government website. This method can be used to show contempt towards a group or organism, rebellion or just for having fun. In most of the cases these attacks are towards governments.

8.       Online Data Collection Video
This video talks about how data collection has improved since 20 years ago. The video talks about the KGB and how has technology improved since. This is very useful for every government
