Ok after a brief introduction about digital immigrants and my blog I'm going to enter the serious bits the problems of the digital world. Technology has been a great help in our lives improving it and making it easier every step of the way but we have people out there who uses this opportunity to offend others here are the problems you and I are facing today, check it out!
1. Internet Scams: You might at some point in your life been scammed online possibly your credit card information being stolen, your personal information was shared online or you paid for a certain matter but didn't get the desired results. Internet scams has happened all around the world causing great pressure and stress to the victim. Money and information is whats on the line in this situation. The reason why people do this cyber crime is that sometimes they are lacking financial income that they cheat to make a quick buck. If we see in their perspective its the last option they have to overcome their financial problem.
2. Plagiarism: Now here is a problem that has come to light since the beginning of technology. Plagiarism is the copying information and claims it of their own without citing the source. To make it simpler its stealing but not an object but information. Teenagers today are prime do-er of Plagiarism. Either accidentally or purposely. This happens when we get information from the internet and just copy pasting the whole page without citing the source. This is considered a crime in copyrights.
3. Social Isolation: This problem is one that goes in privately it doesn't effect outside individuals but only yourself, your social life. With the advancements of technology and the birth of the world wide web, we have been introduced to something called social networking and video games. Allowing us to entertain ourselves in our spare time and communicate world wide with others. Social Networking sites such as facebook, twitter or even Google + have the sole purpose of expanding the social life of humans this is a good cause but then what is happening? Instead of expansion its isolation. Teenagers today can spend hours in front of their laptops and television. This gives them isolation from the outside world.
4.Age Restrictions: Don't your realize that yahoo, Google+, Twitter, Facebook and tumblr has something in common which is an age restriction. Stating that only mature users are allowed to have an account. Mature users above the age 18 which are recognize as mature and responsible enough for their own actions. This is due to the fact that these websites want to avoid bullying and harassing in the internet since teenagers today are prone to bullying. But whats happening most of us lie about our age we just fake everything up just so we can enter and make a account. Just to join in the trend we dare risk our selves to the danger of the world of digital.
5. Cyber Bullying: This problem is the only one that I have concerns off because most of you reading this might have experienced or is experiencing cyber bullying. In is the most common problem that has arose since the birth of the internet. It could cause the victims to experience serious problems in their life that might pressure their lives and if their mentality is weak they might choose the wrong path. Cyber Bullying is done very frequently nowadays especially to teenagers and by teenagers. Calling Names, Harassing, threatening and teasing is in the category of cyber bullying. It effects the victims feelings deeply as it is straight to the point and usually a serious offense.
Now to see inside the perspective of the bullies. I have been in your position everyone might have a moment in their life in which they have hurt someones feelings. For you bullies you might have something deep inside that your store either jealousy, pain or revenge whatever the cause there is no reason in this world that makes bullying right. The world wont progress if everything is "An Eye for an Eye"
