Cybersafety Essay

Khalil Holmes
Campus High

When you blog, you need to consider and think about your personal safety. While doing some research, I have come across incidents having to do with people be hacked to people being tracked down because they shared they're location online. When blogging you need to decide up front how much personal information you will share on your blog. I'd advise you to try to stay anonymous as possible. Don't give our your full name, your school, your location, or where you hang out. Never try and meet up with anyone you've met online. Think about what you're posting don't show or share anything that can the attention of a internet sexual predator. The whole moral behind this is to be careful of what you put on the internet.

1. DO YOU BELIEVE ABERCROMBIE FITCH SHOULD SUE BEYONCE? WHY?

A: No, I don't think Abercrombie & Fitch should sue Beyonce. They should just make her change her name "Fierce" for her label.

2. DO YOU THINK THAT CONSUMERS WILL BE CONFUSED BY HAVING TWO FRAGRANCES WITH SIMILAR NAMES.

No, because the A&F Fragrance will be sold in the store or on the site. Plus the fragrance is unisex, while Beyonce's is only for woman.

3. IF YOU WERE BEYONCE KNOWLES WHAT WOULD YOU DO ABOUT THE SITUATION? WOULD YOU CONTINUE WITH LAUNCHING YOUR PRODUCT AND KEEP THE NAME OR WOULD YOU CHANGE THE NAME?

I would fight the case, to keep the name because sometimes people buy things because of the name. "Fierce" is a catchy name. But if I lose the fight just come up with something else for the fragrance.

How do you know what information is fact and what information is fiction in the Internet? What do you do to determine what information you can trust?

Can i trust everything on the internet? How do I know what information is fact or fiction? What should i do to determine what information I can trust?

In my opinion you can't trust half of the things on the internet.
The things on the internet are either poorly presented, a scam or just plain wrong
.
Things on the internet, like tags try to grab our attention. What should i do to determine what information is true? Check newspapers, headline stories, or just find the hints in the lie.
During some research, they're were rumors that we're absolutely ridiculous.
Things like did you know that Saddam Hussein is using killer dinosaurs to get revenge on the United States? Did you know that a vampire duck killed eight people in China? Everyone knows dinosaurs are an extinct species and a vampire duck? Total bogus! This is why you can't believe everything on the internet.

Can you believe all the information that is published (available) on the Internet?

Can I believe all the information that is published (available) on the Internet? Absolutely not, internet scammers can trick the best of us. last year alone, Americans lost $6,152,070 to Internet scams according to the Internet Fraud Watch (IFW.) Another example is the Doomsday in 2012 rumor. People are terrified & starting to actually believe it and starting to think this:


Stop planning your careers, don't bother buying a house, and be sure to spend the last years of your life doing something you always wanted to do but never had the time. Now you have the time, four years of time, to enjoy yourselves before… the end.

How do you think your life would be different without Computers?

How do I think my life would be different without computers? That's a good question. If I didn't have computers to do research, I'd be reading way more books. If computers weren't around the only reason to computer anybody is by phone. Meaning no e-mail, no myspace, facebook, & AIM.
Without computers, there would be no question of the day, or if they're was they it would be written on the dry-erase board. No blogger, no delicious, mycampus, no engrade.

  1. What program would you use for HTML editing on the computer you are using? A: I would use a plain text editor
  2. How can you turn your program into a web page? A: All you need to do is type in the code, then save the document, making sure to put an .html extension or an .htm extension to the file (for instance "mypage.html").
  3. What happens to the HTML tags when the program is displayed in a web browser? A: As you can see, the start tag indicates that whatever follows should be written in bold. The corresponding end tag indicates that the browser should stop writing text in bold.
  4. Which extension should you use HTM or HTML? A: HTML
  5. What is a wysiwyg editor? What are the advantages or disadvantages to a wysiwig program? A: "What You see is what you get", used in computing to describe a system in which content displayed during editing appears very similar to the final output, which might be a printed document, web page, slide presentation or even the lighting for a theatrical event. WYSIWYG HTML editors are great tools for beginners to quickly create web pages and put them on the net. Now any one, without knowing HTML, can create visually appealing (?) web sites of their family, pets, business... you name it! WYSIWYG HTML editors are fine for beginners or if you want to create a web site quickly and don't want to fiddle around with HTML code. However, if you plan to develop web sites for a living - make a career out of web development - you need to learn HTML properly.
  6. After I have edited an HTML file, I cannot view the result in my browser. Why? A: Make sure that you have saved the file with a proper name and extension like "c:\mypage.htm". Also make sure that you use the same name when you open the file in your browser.
  7. I have edited an HTML file, but the changes don't show in the browser. Why? A: A browser caches pages so it doesn't have to read the same page twice. When you have modified a page, the browser doesn't know that. Use the browser's refresh/reload button to force the browser to reload the page.
  8. What browser should I use? A:You can do all the training with all of the well-known browsers, like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, or Opera. However, some of the examples in our advanced classes require the latest versions of the browsers.
