This website explains that encryption is the process of helping protect personal data by using a “secret code” to scramble it so that it cannot be read by anyone who doesn’t have the code key. Most legitimate websites use what is called “Secure Sockets Layer” (SSL), which is a form of encrypted data when it is being sent to and from a website. This keeps attackers from accessing that data while it is in transit.

Fair Use: (Long Le)
In this article it explains that the fair use policy is a legal doctrine that promotes freedom of expression by permitting the unlicensed use of copyright-protected works in certain circumstances. It also states that the Section 107 of the Copyright Act provides the statutory framework for determining whether something is fair use and identifies certain types of uses—such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research—as examples of activities that may qualify as fair use.

This article talks about how other writers, academics, and journalists frequently need to borrow the words of others. Therefore, sooner or later, almost all writers quote or closely paraphrase material that someone else has written. This article mentioned the fair use policy which means that as long as you use the material correct then it is fine.

This article is talking about how the invention of new technology is dominating the school life of many youngsters. In the article, it stated that "teachers need to become mobile-savvy as well if they hope to adequately prepare their students for success in the 21st century." This shows that technology has taken control of our education. It also talks about how students spend much of their day with the cell phone in hand, their "writing lives" are blossoming.
6. Grand Challenges: Ocean Discovery
Ocean Exploration Technology
https://www.nationalgeographic.org/media/ocean-exploration/
Today, the Oceanography uses buoys and water column samplers to monitor sea surface conditions and water quality factors, coring devices collect sediment samples,sonar helps create maps of the seafloor, and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) allow us to safely and efficiently explore all parts of the ocean. For those who don't know what is Sonar, Sonar is known as SOund NAvigation and Ranging—SONAR—is used to find and identify objects in water. It is also used to determine water depth (bathymetry). Sonar is applied to water-based activities because sound waves attenuate (taper off) less in water as they travel than do radar and light waves.
How deep can we discover using the technology that we have right now?
According to this source, it stated that "the deepest point ever reached by man is 35,858 feet below the surface of the ocean, which happens to be as deep as water gets on earth. To go deeper, you'll have to travel to the bottom of the Challenger Deep, a section of the Mariana Trench under the Pacific Ocean 200 miles southwest of Guam. And you're going to need a shovel."
How much it will cost to discover the whole ocean?
As you already know the ocean takes up 72% of the ocean, therefore, the cost for it to explore will be immensely expensive. According to this source, "Each year NASA spends $18.7 billion and $209 billion was spent in total on the shuttle program. According to Bob Ballard, Ph.D, an oceanography expert, NASA’s one-year budget could fund NOAA’s (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) ocean exploration for 1,600 years." On that note, we only discover 5% of the ocean which is very little.

This article explains that the internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. One example I would like to have is to lock/unlock my car using my phone.

This website talks about the Samsung galaxy note 7 that catches on fire and explode. This is an error that the company did by using two different size batteries which make them overheated and caught on fire. This is related to our course because technology is a double edge sword which means they can help us and also harm us at the same time.

The smartphone is good for searching for information online anywhere and anytime which is very convenient when you need to search up information about something important. The smartphone is changing society by letting everyone rely on them too much that they forget how to do stuff on their own and it also makes people become anti-social because everyone is on social media instead of interacting with others physically. The different that smartphones have society is that it makes everyone rely on it too much which make them becomes lazier
.Technology and Election: (Long Le)
This article talks about how technology make voting more accessible and the rate of people who vote has increased dramatically ever since voting is available online where anybody can access whenever they want. I think it is really great because a lot of people are busy with their work so it really hard for them to go to the voting center to vote and it is way more convenient to be able to vote online since they can do it anywhere and anytime which save so much time and effort.
10. Technology Advances, Social Trends
I know that as technology becoming more advanced, people are becoming less socialize because they are too hooked into the new technology which forget how to interact with each other. That is how antisocial is created.(Long Le)
Interesting Quantitative Facts: (Long Le)
https://www.useoftechnology.com/technology-society-impact-technology-society/
In this article, it shows the connection between technology and human in society and how human depends on it so much that they can't do anything without it. It stated that "Humans use technology to travel, to communicate, to learn, to do business and to live in comfort". With this being said, technology has taken a really big part in our human life and we can't really live without it like in the old days. As technology evolved, people are starting to be more antisocial due to lack of physical interact and only talk through the screen. This is really interesting because people need to take a break from technology or else it will soon dominate all of the human race.
What's new and important: (Long Le)
https://www.hongkiat.com/blog/revolutionary-products/
This website contains all the new creations that will be produced in the future. The one that caught my eyes is the google glasses. The reason why I think this invention is really cool because you can look up stuff just by wearing your glasses or even get notification from your phone without even looking at it. I think it will be very convenient for many people who are in a rush because they don't have time to sit and search for information on their phone. Therefore, I'm really looking forward to this new invention that is coming in the future.
