Study Notes

Learning Objectives: The chapter covers social networking technology's positive societal impact, appropriate online behavior tips, secure password creation, copyright rights, crowdsourcing examples, two-factor authentication, and Creative Commons Copyright.
Technology's Impact: Technology can have both beneficial and harmful effects.
Crowdsourcing: It's the combination of large volunteer efforts to solve problems. Examples include Wikipedia, Waze, Linux, Apache, Be A Martian, Open Office, and Folding@Home.
Crowdfunding: Platforms like Kickstarter, Patreon, Indiegogo, Kiva, PULSE, and GoFundMe facilitate funding for projects and initiatives.
Electronic Finance vs Digital Currency: Electronic finance includes Venmo, PayPal, and Zelle. Digital currencies include Bitcoin and Ethereum as alternatives.
Blockchain: A blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger of transactions, making it difficult to alter. This system is distributed across a network of computer systems.
Collaboration Platforms: Social collaboration platforms change employee workflows by improving communication, and sometimes replacing email. Specific examples include virtual choir projects and other collaborative projects.
Filter Bubbles: Filter bubbles are created by algorithms on websites that predict user preferences, and curate content accordingly. This phenomenon impacts the user's intellectual isolation. Specific examples include recommender systems on Netflix.
Online Safety: Password security (encrypted passwords and password generators are crucial) and two-factor authentication provide protection. Specific examples of password security are two-factor authentication, and accessing security information on websites like https://howsecureismypassword.net/.
Netiquette: Online etiquette includes acting as if you were present in person in the real world, using email responsibly, avoiding 'flame wars', and following acceptable online norms for communication. A list of rules for good online etiquette is provided.
Threats: Online threats like phishing (social engineering to extract personal data) and password harvesting are dangerous. Specific scenarios like being scammed for money or your account being compromised can result from these attacks.
Intellectual Property (IP): Information is considered a product of a creative process, and ownership of the IP has its own rules covering software and digital content on the web.
Software License Agreements: These can include different usages with individual and commercial applications. Distribution policies, sharing, and copy requirements, and licenses (like open-source vs proprietary) vary.
Open Source Software: This publicly available software raises questions about who pays for the technology, and how companies can profit when the source code is available for anyone.
Copyright: Ownership of copyright when creating works like term papers, web pages, and sculptures. Copyright laws also allow for reproduction, creation of derivative works, distribution and publication, and public performance and display of work. There are specific provisions on copyright use for personal use, fair use, and public domain content.
Creative Commons License: A license that allows for sharing, usage, and building on works by other creators. The license includes options like Attribution, NonCommercial, No Derivative Works, and Share Alike.
