Facebook is a great place to look to reflect on yourself. How do you present yourself on Facebook or on any personal social media account. Some people could find your account online and that could possibly be your first impression to an employer one day. Another good question is, do you present yourself in the same way in person that you do online? Are you trying to be someone that is not normally you? Or are you sharing who you are as a person online for everyone to see.

This is a blog site that i found helpful in deciding how to introduce yourself in different situations. You aren't going to introduce yourself the same way in every situation that you are meeting someone new. This article is something that I see myself being able to come back to and read over before an important first impression on someone.

https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2016/08/dont-freedom-speech-without-privacy/
This blog, Privacy News Online, keeps its users updated with online privacy news and how we as the public are affected. This specific article related freedom of speech and privacy and explained how they are sort of needed together. They say in the article that you don't have freedom of speech without privacy. I agree with this to some extent because sometimes people want to share their beliefs and arguments on a topic without having to personally be accountable for their statements. This can be a good and a bad thing for the public but i do agree that privacy helps maintain the right of free speech and how people use it.

This is a website for a personal patent lawyer and his website shares some great information of general intellectual property law. The site belongs to James Yang, Patent Attorney and I think his website is good for understanding intellectual law by using charts, images, and demonstrations of real world intellectual law.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/intellectual_property
Cornell Law school is a very prestigious law school that is very successful in educating people about law. Their website is fairly simple and straightforward, although i did find it helpful because it gives the reader a definition and description of intellectual property and its use, as well as providing related terms to go deeper into learning about intellectual law.

https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/cyber
I learned from this page that the FBI is the lead federal agency for investigating cyber attacks by criminals. This site was great for learning general information like what kinds of cyber crime exist and the precautions you can take in order to stay safe from attackers. A lot of people don't know how to stay safe from cyber criminals and because the internet is used by pretty much in the country, i think that people should be taught how to stay safe online. There are a lot of possible ways for cyber criminals to attack but there are also a lot of ways to stay secure online.

https://www.csoonline.com/article/3147398/why-its-so-hard-to-prosecute-cyber-criminals.html
Do you know how many people get prosecuted for cyber crimes on average? According to CSO, this website, "For every one criminal that gets caught, 10,000 go free. And for every 1 successfully prosecuted in a court of law, 100 get off scott-free or with a warning." This was shocking news to me because cyber crime is such a serious threat to people and it can be done silently without you knowing about it. If you want to know why so little cyber criminals are prosecuted, i suggest reading the article because it is an interesting read to learn more about cyber crime in the courtroom.

https://wp.nyu.edu/dispatch/2017/12/24/the-internets-impact-on-education/
The internet is a big place, that is growing at an amazing rate. There is so much to do online, so much entertainment on hand that appeals to everyone and their different interests. How has this affected education and learning for students. The NYU dispatch shares some ways that the internet has affected education. One reason why i chose this website is because they go over MOOCs, Massively Open Online Classes, which we went over in class. More of these classes are appearing across the country which allow a lot more people to take education with them home and discuss with other classmates about the material just like we do. The internet can be a great distraction to students because there is so much to do online, but the internet can also be a great tool to help students learn.

This article goes over the Xprize challenge and more particularly the Avatar challenge which aims to have robot avatars for people to use by 2021. I don't think that this technology would be possible to make anytime soon but i do think that this challenge is a great way to boost productivity of people and companies that can focus their abilities to these projects.

https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/pgk3z9/why-havent-we-explored-the-ocean-like-outer-space
How much of our home planet do we really know? According to Motherboard, approximately 95 percent of the Earth's ocean floor is unexplored. Why have we not been focused on learning about the ocean like we have about space? Well the reason for this is the vast size of the ocean, which is so deep and wide that it would take an unbelievable amount of time and effort of people with advanced technology capable of handling ocean depths that it is not very feasible today. The goal of the Xprize for the ocean is to create robots that can navigate the ocean on their own with the capability to identify life and record data found and communicate that to scientists on land.

One of the most important issues with technology and the internet is net neutrality or the lack there of. Net neutrality is basically the name itself of keeping the internet neutral in judgement in terms of ISPs and consumers because one person and their data should not be prioritized over other consumers' use. This is a great read for people that don't know what net neutrality is and why it should be implemented for the safety and fairness to the customer.

This article on CIO goes over the risks of the Internet of Things, a topic we went over in the course, and what to keep in mind while you are on the internet with all your devices. The Internet of Things is the growing network of devices all around us from the most used like computers and cell phones to things like light switches on our phones and self driving cars. Obviously since we've learned that the internet has risks and threats from a lot of different things, if your network of internet devices gets bigger, then you are going to be vulnerable to more threats.

https://www.techwalla.com/articles/what-is-an-ewallet-and-can-i-trust-it
This techwalla article goes over the ilium service, eWallet, that allows people to save all of their online passwords in one location with very strong encryption so that all of your passwords have maximum security. The eWallet is great for people that have a lot of different accounts with difficult passwords and need a better way to remember all of their passwords. I do believe there are a few drawbacks to their services like if your account gets hacked or accessed by anyone then they will have access to all of your online accounts, and also, if you forget or lost the password to your ewallet, then there is no way to retrieve your password other than making a brand new account.

https://www.bbvaopenmind.com/en/articles/internet-changed-everyday-life/
This article from OpenMind called, "How the Internet Has Changed Everyday Life" is a very in depth article about the differences in the world today caused by the internet. There are many different aspects to approach when comparing the world pre and post internet, and I think this article does a great job of explaining different ways and giving examples of how. I think the article is a bit long but that is great for a source because there is so much information available to use as a source.

There are so many opportunities for technology and the future is something amazing to think about because we can look back on the past and see how far we have taken it.

Social media seems to have a pretty negative connotation to people in the world today and that could be for various reasons. Some say that it is a big distraction for the youth, it gives a false image of people and their lives, or like this article from Forbes, it negatively affects your mental health for various reasons. I liked this article because it shared some thoughts about social media that I never thought of. Things like making us feel good while we are on it and making us feel worse when we are off of it. I know that i look to social media as a break from things like studying and working because it rests my brain from stress for a minute to look at things i'm interested in or make me laugh. The article shares that it may help you feel better temporarily and make you feel worse after because you want to go back on it. I think that people should read this article because there are some negative effects of social media that we are not aware of that we should be conscious of.
