Reflections

Day 12

I presented about what i wrote for Wiki yesterday. I gave a short brief of my introduction, my summary of the resource that i use which is the news article from http://www.crime-research.org/news/17.03.2008/3252/ about businesses have to pay for funding a e-crime ( electronic crime or cybercrime) unit to help to fight against cybercrimes and the brief evaluation about the main website http://www.crime-research.org/ like is the website up-to-date or is the website user-friendly or is the website easy to understand. I personally feel that there is a need to set up a anti-cybercrime unit to fight against cybercrimes to make the internet a better place to surf and this will be a long-term basis, so there will be a need to ask for fundings from the industry as the government do not just have to focus on one matter but many other matters to attend to.

I also discuss about whether it is ethical to use a fake identity or take on someone's identity and how i apply ethical considerations. In my point of views, taking others' identities and use will cause problems for the ones' whom identities are being used and it is illegal. I also feel that when applying for services like discussion forums, blogs, e-mail and other services that need to use our private details, we should not disclose our private details when applying for these kinds of services.

Day 11

I studied for the test which will be held on day 13 (April 9). The topics that i need to were lecture 6 - 10 that were about evaluating internet resources which have problems of internet information, types of evaluation criteria, evaluation and comparsion of web services and evaluation of differnet internet resources. Out of these 4 parts, i feel that problems of internet information and the types of evaluation criteria were easier to understand.
