Experts have given a warning that there are
plenty more security risks ahead , as Cyber criminals become more
sophisticated. While “Traditional” cybercrime such as internet password fraud
will still be widespread. A larger scale of attacks and hacking the internet of
things that will also be as risky
Ransomware -- a type ofmalwarewhich restricts access to the computer system that it infects –will
become increasingly sophisticated in its methods and targets, experts at McAfee
Labs warned.
"We predict ransomware variants that
manage to evade security software installed on a system will specifically
target endpoints that subscribe to cloud-based storage solutions such as
Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive. Once the endpoint has been infected, the
ransomware will attempt to exploit the logged-on user's stored credentials to
also infect backed-up cloud storage data," McAfee's report on 2015 cyber
risks noted.
Ransomware encrypts data and McAfee thought
attacks on mobile devices and cloud-backed data would increase.
"Ransomware victims will be in for a
rude shock when they attempt to access their cloud storage to restore data—only
to find their backups have also been encrypted by the ransomware," the
experts said.

Information fluency is a
form of competency in any state of subject, which is seen to be a goal and
motivation for students to excel in a learning environment and how it may be
structured.
Information fluency-
takes unique skills to navigate the online series of data we have daily. Therefore
Information Fluency are skills needed to not only look for information, but to
also develop useful knowledge that may help effectively solve the real-world
issues.
With the use of the
information fluency process to break through the ground-breaking archaeological
findings by Professor Lee Berger from Wits University:
Asking:Where's the
evolution?
Arguably the most
remarkable thing about Homo naledi is how and where it was
found. Back in 2013, two eagle-eyed cavers spotted human remains in a remote
cavern deep inside the Rising Star cave system, just outside of Johannesburg,
South Africa. The chamber, dubbed the Denaledi Chamber ("chamber of
stars"), is about 30 meters below the surface and accessible only via more
than 80 meters of often extremely narrow passages. Berger himself was too large
to access the fossils, so he gathered a team of scientists small and limber
enough to make the arduous descent. What Berger's team of "underground
astronauts" found there was the largest and most varied assemblage of homininfossils ever found in Africa. (A hominin is
any species more closely related to modern humans than to modern chimpanzees.)
Acquire
Berger and his team considered many differenthypotheses. Could the hominins have been dragged there by some predator? The
researchers eliminated this possibility because there were no signs of teeth
marks on any of the fossil fragments, and the condition of the remains
themselves suggests that they did not undergo any kind of severe trauma right
before death. In addition, there were almost no other remains present — nearly
every fossil in the cave was fromHomo naledi. The likely predators
wouldn't have been so selective! Could they have lived in the cave? This seems
unlikely because of how inaccessible the cave was, and because there was no
sign at all of habitation — no food remains or tools, for example. Could they
have been caught in a current of water somehow, possibly during a flood? Not
likely, since a flood would have carried in other organisms and a greater
diversity of sediments than are present. Could they have become trapped all at
once? Again, not likely because there is some geological evidence that the
remains were deposited over some amount of time. So the most plausible
explanation of this sort would be that there were repeated events in which
groups of individuals became trapped. The researchers regard that as possible
but unlikely
Analyse
In the case of Homo
naledi, apomorphies that suggest its placement within the genus Homo include
certain characteristics of its cranial structure and dentition, which appear
derived from earlier hominin species. The hands suggest finely tuned motor
skills, and the teeth suggest a diet of high-quality foods, such as meat and
tubers. The feet are also apomorphic with other Homo species
and suggest Homo naledi was capable of walking efficiently for
long periods. In fact, they are so similar to that of modern humans one
researcher commented that if you came across just a Homo naledi foot
in a cave, you'd assume it was that of a recently deceased modern human. Other
characteristics, however, such as its small cranial capacity, short shoulder
blades that sit high and wide on the trunk, and flared upper pelvis, appear
ancestral to later hominin species. These traits are plesiomorphies, and would suggest
its placement outside of the Homogenus.
ØApply- Since the ground-breaking
archaeological (Homo Naledi) findings by Lee Berger from Wits University it is
clear that the Homo Naledi is closely related to modern humans. The Homo Naledi
was on earth about 2 million years ago and was extinct about 70,000 years ago
before human came about.
ØAssess: the
ground-breaking archaeological findings has been assessed , with the results
being that the Homo Naledi species are proof that there was life on earth before
humans.
1.2) The Techno-economic paradigm is used to locate the notion of
technological upheavals in the neo-Schumpeter effort in order to identify
the regulations, discontinuities and continuities in the process of modernism.
The Public can mature from
this by firstly understanding the results about the altered development
trajectories of constituency regions and to bounce valuable information or understanding

Q.5.1
The world has become a lot evolved in such a way that
everything is now unto opt the internet world even the simplest things
that were found at the libraries you can
now get them in the palm of your hand through your cellphone and other
technological accessories.
Denying someone their right to digital use is like killing
them because they will sooner or later be faced with a challenge that will need
them to be familiar with the digital world or want to find anything online they
will fail to do so because they are not familiar with the internet.
It is not right to deny a person access to the internet
because you never know when they will need the internet and how badly they will
need it.

Online
etiquettes it is the way one should behave whenever they use the online wold.
In the world
of internet everyone has a right as well as their responsibilities. Everyone
needs to behave themselves each time they interact with people online, for
example when you comment on someone’s photo or status on Facebook, tweeter,
Instagram, and all other social media sites.
This
a is why people online like to be offended so much
After an online backlash against Stephen Fry,
an expert explains online outrage.
ON
SUNDAY NIGHT Stephen Fry hosted the BAFTA awards in London.
Dotted in among the expected witticisms from
the avuncular host was a joke about Jenny Beavan, the winner of the costume
design award, who he said looked like a bag lady.
This was enough to send Twitter into
overdrive.
People took aim at Fry for insulting Beavan,
and accused him of misogyny.
One tweeter said that the host had “gone down
in a lot of people’s estimations” and may even have lost him his status as a
national treasure.
Fry responded to this by writing “Christ, I
fucking hope so” and subsequently tweeted a picture of himself and Beavan with
the caption ‘Jenny Baglady Beavan and Stephen Outrageous Misogynist Swine Fry
at the #EEBAFTAs after party’.
The
picture that Fry tweeted outSource: Twitter
Still – that didn’t stop Twitter users coming
out in force against him, with Fry deleting his account.
Speaking
to TheJounal.ie, clinical psychologist and President of the
Psychological Society of Ireland Paul D’Alton explains the process of “I tweet
therefore I am” comes down to two things.
“Genetically our brains are predisposed to
seek out social contact,” D’Alton explains, “We exist and we survive when we
have social contact.
That’s a lot of what is going on.
“There’s
a thing call negative intimacy. That even when contact is negative and
insulting, it is still something people go after.”
This may explain why the Twitter users continued
to go after Fry even after he posted the picture with Beavan.
The deeply superficial world of social media doesn’t satisfy us,
and sometime we’ll go back for more and more even when it’s insulting.
The
second thing is something known as the the the ‘Proximity Effect’, which was
developed by psychologist Stanley Milgram in the 1960s.
“He did these obedience experiments,” D’Alton
explains, “And what he discovered was that the closer you are to someone, the
less likely you are to punish them.”
And, chances are, we can expect more incidents
like this in the future.
“This is a huge area of psychology now,”
D’Alton went on, “You have a whole generation of natives now who are born into
the world of social media. There are huge psychological implications that we
don’t quite understand at this point.
The solution fluency regarding the rape crisis South Africa
is currently facing.
Define
In South Africa we are
faced with the crisis of woman and children, Cape Town has been lately observed
and they confirmed that it has the highest rape rates as it is compared to
other cities in various provinces all over South Africa.
Discover
The government of the state should at least try to find or
discover the cause of the high rape rate in this country for it is not just
something that came out of nowhere but there is a reaso9n behind this behavior
and it has to be discovered.
Dream
In every community there should be a dream in order to
succeed it is not pre-determined that only young people can dream and that you
can only dream of what you want to achieve which is good, but you also need to
dream of how you can overcome this crisis that has striven our beloved country
by everyone dreaming positively we can overcome this rape beast.
Design
People should not entertain any kind of crime regardless how
low rated it is but each and every one should participate, they should design
campaigns that will teach more about rape and how you go about reporting and
dealing with it co0ncequencies.
Deliver
The public need to deliver whenever the state has provided
help like starting police camps in local places where rape is known to be the
popular offence done by local residents. They should not protect them but bring
them forth.
Debrief
The community should familiarize theme selves with the
actions taken regarding the rapists and how they should treat the victims and
to be updated in order to be satisfied of the police work.
Q3.1Question 3
Q.3.1
The internet of things
The
internet of things will later in the future provide the universe with a diverse
range of internet access, killing the very known digital divide and by that
that everyone will have will have unlimited digital access.
The
internet of things will extend connectivity beyond traditional devices like
desktops, cell phones, laptops, computers, tablets and other internet devices
but it will connect the world to a diverse range of everyday things that
utilize embedded technology to communicate and interact with the external
environment.
In
the future the internet of things will have fed all internet devices with the
means of internet access, communication and interaction.
Q.3.2
vVerbal-linguistic
intelligence (well-developed verbal skills and sensitivity to the sounds,
meanings and rhythms of words)
ØThis intelligence makes a
person do everything responsibly online knowing the meaning of whatever they do
will affect others and the creativity of how one arrange their words in
whatever they do.
vSpatial-visual
intelligence (capacity to think in images and pictures, to visualize accurately
and abstractly)
ØThis intelligence make
intern et users think, visualise and create images even without seeing them
online but the moment they read something from the internet they start bringing
their creativity to life by applying this intelligence
vInterpersonal intelligence
(capacity to detect and respond appropriately to the moods, motivations and
desires of others)
ØThis level speaks of how a
person suddenly react to the particular technology contexts and how they
reflect to the business world and so as to the digital world, by applying this
level the society can learn to use the digital world responsibly.
vIntrapersonal (capacity to
be self-aware and in tune with inner feelings, values, beliefs and thinking
processes)
This level is much important to the digital
devices users because they need to be aware of whatever they do, say or get themselves
involved.
The
community that is disadvantage may face difficulties with their children
growing up clueless of how the digitaldevices work, yet some advantageous children have all necessary device.
By this the digital divide has made, and keeps on making the disadvantaged
people more clueless and the advantageous more informed of the internet stuff..
