As long as the technology keeps stretching its hold (and that is what it's been doing so rapidly), we cannot run away from the looping and reproducing consequences that fall upon us. There has been a lot of debate on how we can prevent ourselves from the burning issues of internet security. What remains as a big evidence behind the consequences is our own stupidity and a lack of judgment. We have been offered privileges to share almost everything with our peers in the digital world that has been strengthening the bridge to our physical world. If we keep unfolding ourselves virtually to the open world, without caring our privacy, we might turn very prone to the sufferings. Internet is available to us to do something good and all we have to do is make a unique existence on the virtual world. There are high chances of fatal outcomes when social networking is used excessively. Actually, we can find a lot of better stuffs on the internet if it is used in a more productive way. All we need to do is teach ourselves about the good virtues and leave minimum chances for the vulnerability that anybody can invite when acted irrationally. So, it's all upon you to get more out of the internet service and remember, besides social networking, you've got other things, too. Stay open. Stay safe.
I think it's very interesting that you're using an internet forum to write about the problems that are related to the internet, including cyber-bullying, internet "crimes", pornography and even hacking. But I'm wondering why you think hacking, for example, is a problem. It seems to me that groups like Wiki Leaks http://wikileaks.org/ are demonstrating that too much information is being kept from the public and that, perhaps, it's not such a very good idea to give all of the control of the internet (and the definition of what is or is not a crime) to a government.
ReplyDeleteI'm just trying to say that the government is the one that can protect the digital rights of its citizens. It's not that hacking was a problem concerning wikileaks's detailed series of release of internal affairs. It did a rather more transparent job and separated good and bad. What I think is that hacking has been followed by many young programmers as a tool to show their talents and skills that further leads towards many crimes such as destruction of the whole economy and abuse of rights among others. I believe that when using internet, one's purpose needs to mainly include the welfare of the whole world community.
