Question 7 Digital Security
Question 7
The top 5 cybersecurity risks in South Africa are:
Ransomware, the internet of things, insecure passwords, cyber theft and cyber espionage
Ransomware – computer malware that installs on a victims computer and executes a cryptovirology attack that affects it and then demands a ransom
The internet of things - Systems connected with unique identifiers and can transfer data over a network without any interaction
Insecure passwords – People setting easy accessable passwords
Cyber theft – Hacking and getting hold of private information
Cyber espionage – Obtaining secrets without permission of license holder
How to avoid risk
-Establish procedures for its clients to report cybercrimes; inform its clients of measures which can be taken in order to safeguard itself against cybercrimes.
-Immediately report to the National Cybercrime Centre if it becomes aware that its computer network or electronic communications network is being used to commit a cybercrime

Question 5 Digital Rights and Responsibilities
https://www.thinglink.com/scene/847096388616454145.
Digital Rights and Responsibilities are the "privileges and freedom extended to all digital technology users, and the behavioral expectations that come with them" (Ribble & Bailey, 2007).

Question 4 Create a Digital Code of Conduct for education institutes. Please think of how you would reinforce and manage it, include this into your ‘Code of Conduct’. This would be a guideline for the institutes that they can then adapt to their specific requirements.
Question
4
1.Digital Code of Conduct for education institutes.
-Remember that you not the only person in the institution
- Adhere to the same standards of behaviour between Teachers and students - Be ethical in your engagement
- Respect other people’s time
-Know your position and respect your authorities
-Share expect knowledge
-Don’t abuse your power
-Be forgiving of other peoples mistakes
-Respect another persons privacy
-Work as a family
-Always be on time
2.Penalties
- If these rules are not followed the first step would be to send the user an automatic email stating that they are breaking these rules.
-The next step would be a written warning to educator or student
-If the rules are still continued to be disobeyed they would then need to attend a disciplinary hearing and enforce suspension.
-If the previous step has not corrected their actions then the final step would be to expulsion

The social economy: Unlocking value through social technologies, in this post outline the benefits and risks of social technologies for individuals, corporates and communities. Focus on South Africa.
Question 3
Benefits for corporates
Putting the corporation out to the world is faster and it’s effectiveness of marketing increase since most people around the country are use social technology so adverts go through faster. Marketing online means that the company spends less but the message goes through faster
Benefits for the community and individuals
They get the news faster and effectively.
Communities can share their concerns about their neighbourhood through social media and interact with each other
Learning because notes can be passed through social technologies.
Risks of social technology
People become addicted to social technology in a blink of an eye and forget what’s important on the internet
Hacking as nothing is safe online now
Scams as people create fake adverts to get people to transfer money to those websites

.2.1 Use information fluency skills to analyze the groundbreaking archeological findings (Homo Naledi) by Professor Lee Berger from Wits University. Use the information fluency process, ask, acquire, analyse, apply and assess to dissect the matter. In your discussion highlight the significance of this finding Use a minimum of 300 words
Question
2
Ask – Involves asking important questions about knowledge and data in order to get answers.
Acquire – Involves accessing and collecting information from different sources.
Analyse – Involves going through information collected in order to authenticate, organise, and arrange everything. It also involves deciding whether the data collected is useful.
Apply – Involves applying the knowledge gained and it is done once all data is collected and verified.
Assess – Involves accessing the product and the process which is done after being discussed how it could be carried out.
Information Fluency used to analyse archeological findings
Ask – Which breed of species does the fossil belong to? And how this new information could help us gain more knowledge to what we already know about the specie. Questions like: The fossil belongs to what kind of specie? How old is the fossil and where was it found? Is it a male or female? And does it prove the theory of evolution?
Acquire – Information found by scientists. So it means that the fossil must be studied in order to acquire information like how old is the fossil and whether it belongs to a human or some kind of animal.
Analyse – The fossil discovered must be analysed in order to gain more information and must decide whether the information gathered is useful and trustworthy and does it prove the theory of evolution.
Apply – New information found must be applied and assessed to prove the the fossil found is valuable to the theory of evolution.
Assess – The findings must be assessed and be carried out efficiently by studying the information required further.
Professor Lee Berger and his team of scientists discovered what they believe is a fossil closely related to humans. The homo Naledi fossil was found at the Cradle Of Human Kind in a underground chamber(Ewn.co.za, 2016). The discovery is big as it can allow humans to understand the theory of evolution better. The fossil is believed to one of many fossils yet to be discovered at the site. Homo Naledi is believed to be smaller and older than a normal human with curved fingers and a small skull but Naledi is very similar to modern day humans. The scientists believe that there’s more fossils were they found Naledi because they believe that they buried themselves together as some kind of ritual. They still trying to find out just how the fossil got down there. It is not clear just how Naledi is so it makes it difficult for scientists to place the specie in the tree of life
