3/31/2009 Three sources evalutation

First one of sources that I evaluate is the youtube video, titled "Your Technology culture - BCC &Internet Privacy." While I was watching the video, I found what the BCC option of e-mail stands for. It was very interesting because I even haven't tried to use the option that hides receivers' e-mail address. Also, people who don't know what BCC option is can get information why they use it. Yes, showing my e-mail address to other people who don't know me is not a pleasure thing; because probability of spam mails tends to be increased if my e-mail address is exposured to other people. BCC option is a kind of internet manner.

Second, the article "Mobile Security: Saying Yes When You Really Should Say No" makes me reconsider about the mobile security (http://www.technewsworld.com/story/66531.html.) It is very useful source for the mobile phone users becuase it describes the risks at every single situation. The article seperate each problem and explain how it is prevented. When I send my informaion using my mobilephone, it can be stolen by hacker through the server. Or some program requires permission to access my informaion when I download them but it always accompanies the risk of stealing. I can't exactly know what information they need and where it is used for. Especially, users of smartphone like blackberry and iphone have to be aware of these risks. Confidential information should be protected, and I think it can be accomplished by mobile phone user's attention.

Last one is the post "Facebook's New Terms Of Service: "We Can Do Anything We Want With Your Content. Forever,"" by Chris Walters (http://consumerist.com/5150175/facebooks-new-terms-of-service-we-can-do-anything-we-want-with-your-content-forever). I like this post, and it shows which part of policy is the problem that we have to consider. I have an account and sometimes update my picture on my facebook. Before Dr. Katherine D. Harris mentioned about the changed policy of Facebook, I didn't know at all that my contents is not mine. It's just scary. Even though I close my account, and remove my contents-pictures and writings; Still Facebook has the right to use it which way they want. We can ask a question to them. "Where is my privacy?" "Is it legal?"

3/17/09 Technology questions

Technology is the usage of tools or knowledges to benefit human beings.

Recently, technology is represented by computer and other related skills, information and tools.

Basically, user of technology control it within the each country's government regulation.

If it happened, I will be bothered for my use of technology by someone. ex) spam e-mail, bank account number.
