Security, ethics, emerging with technology and education

As soon as I started to read this article I began to think of all of those college papers that are plagiarized every year and all that must happen to catch it. When I was an English major at Plattsburgh State College they started to use a program called "Turn it In." It was simple, down load your paper and the teacher could see if a student copied anything from another source or if it was his/her ideas in the paper. With the emergence of technology it is good to have such programs to watch out for people who copy off other works of others.
Speaking of copying, downloading music has became big over the last couple of years with the emergence of Ipods. There is a program on the Internet where one can download all the free songs that they can find. I think it is great media exposure, however, musicians are claiming that they are losing millions of of people down loading music.
Also, when people are looking for really cool clip art pieces, some pictures are not eligible to be cut and pasted and they have a so-called privacy lock on them. People have become more aware of what to post on the Internet and who may or may not steal their own ideas. There is so much out there in the digital world to be aware of. One must be careful of what they download on their notebooks, what they read, and anything else that may require giving away of any form of identity. Also with using protection one must have an anti-virus on their computer. Most common anti-viruses are Norton and Mcaffe. There are just so much junk on the Internet that one has to be careful.
Also, many people are fooled by fake websites and too many commerical pop ups that are scams that lead to people having their computers corrupted. It does not take much and especially with the usage of digital communities or My Space, and Face book. There is so much sharing going on with the two communities by itself. Everyone must be aware of what they are using on the Internet and how it may hurt their own computers that they have. As creatures we must be careful and not have to find out every little thing on the Internet. Sometimes, less is more :)
