1. INTRODUCTION TO CIS
With the use of computers, many people increase their knowledge, they bring computer to a lot of industry in life like education, communication, banking or in manufacturing. But many people have problems with their health; for example: we are sitting comfortably on our computer, but in reality it's uncomfortable and uncomfortable for the body: the neck, the head, the arms and the shoulder are pulled, or electromagnetic radiation from the screen, impact the vision, etc. Gradually we forget about exercise and physical activities. Many people (especially students) prefer to spend hours in the computer, playing games or searching web, living in virtual worlds rather than go outside.
There is no denying benefits of computers as well as its practical role in the modern world. But everything has its flaws. Here are some things to keep in mind when making a friend with this technology so that you can exploit its benefits and limit the harms it causes.
These articles mention about the positive and negative impact of computer to society.

2. PRIVACY AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH
By performing online activities every day, you may disclose personal information that others may use to infringe upon your privacy. This information may include sensitive information such as your IP address, email address, current location, home address, or work address. For example, online shopping often requires credit card information and your home address. Information is the currency of the internet. Your privacy on the internet depends on your ability to control the amount of personal information you provide and who has access to that information.
Freedom of speech is understood as the public expression of an individual or an organization with people, with society. If freedom of speech lacks that character, it is no longer freedom of speech. However, freedom does not mean being able to talk about anything and say no matter how. Freedom of expression is limited and is in association with the rights of the user.

5. EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION AND ENTERTAINMENT
I think investing in the development of information technology is the right choice, but how to apply information technology in the field of life is more important. Today, we are shopping is easily, moving with the application, studying with only one click, ... So, I wonder does technology really saves time? How does information technology affect people's life?

6. GRAND CHALLENGES
I have chosen the topic of Saving Coral Reefs for my Grand Challenge. I love to visit the Oceans around the world because of the beauty of nature. So that The protection of Coral Reefs in the world is very important.
First of all, we need to understand what are coral reefs? Coral reefs are tropical rain-forests, which are place to benthic species and fish. Coral reefs are also divided into many layers and levels of cover such as rain-forest.
Coral reefs also have the potential to conserve biodiversity and natural aquatic resources for capture fisheries and marine aquaculture. In addition, due to the transition between the continent and the sea, the three ecosystems typical of the tropical sea are mangroves, coral reefs and sea grasses that are closely interrelated and interrelated. The important "ecological chains" in the sea and coastal areas, where one of them is affected, will affect the remaining chains.

7. EVALUATING AND CONTROLLING TECHNOLOGIES
When deciding to use a source that found on the Internet, you must have a way to properly evaluate the information found on the Internet and to use that information reasonably. For example: What is the source of this information compared to the information you already know? Who provided the source? Does that information reflect current issues, reality? Was the information presented clearly?
