- Explore the question: Do people behave differently online versus offline?
- Discuss how corporations can utilize user data and whether this is ethical behavior.
- Identify types of cyber-crimes that users experience and methods for prevention
Privacy and Security
- The text emphasizes the distinction between data security and data privacy.
- The video "Tech User Identity (Privacy vs Security) 1" and "Tech User Identity (Privacy vs Security) 2" offer insights into the difference between privacy and security.
- To check for potential account breaches, use the online monitoring tool at https://monitor.firefox.com/.
Future Job Challenges
- Technology advancement has led to the disappearance of certain jobs. The video "Some Jobs/ Businesses Did Disappear" mentions these examples: typist, elevator operator, news vendor, film projectionist, highway gate officer, ticketing agent.
Computational Thinking
- Computational Thinking (CT) is a problem-solving process encompassing decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, algorithms.
- CT is essential for developing computer applications but is beneficial across all disciplines.
- Governments are emphasizing CT in their re-skilling roadmaps due to its importance in improving efficiency and innovation.
- CT will be crucial for future job opportunities as technology becomes more advanced and pervasive.
Decomposition
- Involves breaking down a problem into smaller, more manageable parts.
Pattern Recognition
- Involves identifying similarities within and between problems.
Abstraction
- Focuses on essential information while ignoring irrelevant details.
Algorithms
- Involves developing a step-by-step solution or rules to solve a problem.
- The video "Algorithms" provides further information on this aspect of CT.
