Copyright questions

This is my google doc on copyrights. Along with some questions that i have answered. Please click here for the questions.

Copyrights

I had an assignment on copyright where i had to read an article on what happens when you don't copyright correctly and what you can do so you can copyright correctly. One bad thing is never copy and past everything in a article or story or book. Always go online and look up how to copyright correctly and don't just guess. And one last thing always write things in your own words not the author words.

Going Social

My assignment was to read a chapter from Microsoft eBook. The chapter being on Social media networks..

 Summary of chapter 11:

    
    This chapter was basically on a girl who got scammed by a malware targeting social network site that she was not aware of at the time until till she got scammed. People do this to other people because this is where everybody is spending the time, on the internet on social media websites like twitter and Facebook, or other social media websites. These websites allow tons of people from anywhere in the to find out what you are doing and where you live or any other personal information they want to know about you and your personal life.

     Before Facebook and twitter even existed, their was the first social media network created called "Myspace". This brought a good hit to the world where people could interact with each other. Then became so popular it spread throw the whole world, to 30 different countries. There where 125 million Myspace user threw out the whole world. WOW that's a lot of people. Then a year later Facebook come and was created by a Harvard Sophomore who's name was Mark Zuckerburg. It took three Years for Facebook to catch up with Myspace in terms of how many people used it. By 2009 72% of teens and young adults where using at least one social networking site. By 2010 an average Facebook user had 130 friends.( Both of these websites have policies against "Harmful Content" as well as content deemed offensive or abusive).

    By 2009 phishing expeditions  on social networks nearly everybody's daily basics. Some where memorable like FBAction.net, Koobface, and Areps.at. These things took place as status updates and embedded links that you posted on you status. 

    Webcams and cameras and photos and also danger your personal info, because when you enter a photo on to lets say Facebook you give away your identity to other people with can be bad. Also when you upload a video people can copy and paste it like on YouTube or on Google videos or any other video posting website. They can also make fun of you in any kind of way that may be very harmful to you. 


Some key words:

Social networking site: A website that allows users to define relationships between themselves and network among not just their own friends but friends of friends and friends of friends friends-ever expanding their online network.

Poke: Hitting poke in Facebook lets another user know you'd like to get his or her's attention.
