Humans have capacity to shape future of cyberspace

Unlike four of the five domains of warfare — air, land, sea, space and cyber — cyber is manmade. This affords unique latitude to shape the future of this still emerging domain. "If you think about it, cyberspace is really the one environment that we're fighting in that we can actually change. We created it in the first place — by 'we' I mean [the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency]," Kerry Long, program manager at Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, said at the CyberCon conference hosted by Federal Times in Washington on Nov. 16. Long was referencing how DARPA invented what is now commonly known across the world as the internet. "You can't change the air for the Air Force, you can't change the water for the Navy … but we can change cyberspace," he said. Long noted that in the next 10 years, cyberspace will continue to become more hazy. He anticipates that everyone across the world will use computing assets in larg

The problem of piracy in the movie biz does not need introduction . The number of pirated movie copies being openly sold in the market whether secretively or publicly, is massive. Walk into any corner of a local market and you can find people selling DVDs containing your favorite music and movies without any regard to copyright. Then there are those websites where you can “watch movies for free”. What the entire nation needs to understand as one big community is that there is a limit to these free lunches that you think you get. Upon thorough analysis of traffic and search queries it has been found that most people are looking for either this or that but they want a “free download”.

I need to break down this inquiry on two unique levels: Moral and Legal. We've run over situations where young ladies and folks have sent their private personal pictures on WhatsApp bunches "by botch". The very certainty that they were intended to be sent to another person is disturbing also. The issue with WhatsApp and other moment detachments is that individuals feel "protection". They feel that correspondence is going on balanced and none else will ever observe their private minutes. The Internet is intense and Information Communication Technologies are progressive yet the way that clients feel that there is an alternate arrangement of morals on the web, isn't right.
