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 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

DIGC question 1.2 - What is the techno-economic paradigm and how can one develop from this?
A theory that combines Kondratieff's long waves theory
with Schumpeter's economic development theory and that focuses within the
capitalist development process on technological change.
One can develop from it through knowledge of technology and how to access it
One can develop from it through knowledge of technology and how to access it
DIGC question 1.1 presentation
Question 1 – 1.1
Issues to surrounding access and awareness to the ramification to digital divide
Social Capital
Social capital can have devastating effects because people tend to use for destructive purposes that affect the economy. Corrupt officials use it to strengthen their ranks and take from the less fortunate. Some communities within the country just do not have the proper infrastructure to have technology and South Africa is still a developing country so it’s still lacking in some parts when it comes to technology.
Knowledge Capital
Poverty levels affect knowledge and lack of knowledge also contributes to how knowledge is affected. Lack of education in communities and people who have no access to technology and people who lack the knowledge of how to access and use technology affects knowledge.
Human Capital
In certain parts of the country there’s world class facilities that has access to all kinds of technology and in some areas of the country there’s no such thing.
How can government help?
The government should invest more to the future of the country and ensuring that there’s access throughout the country and that includes infrastructure and educating people about digital divide and providing access all of the country.

Question 5.2 Digital bill of rights
Amendment 1
Freedom of the internet
Amendment 8
No sharing of confidential stuff
Question 5.1 Write a petition to these countries were digital rights are not extended to the majority of the citizens.
There certain countries that do not allow freedom of ditizenship e.g in Pakistan women are not allowed to use the internet nor get education. Countries such as Pakistan, India, Cuba, China and Vietnam are violating digital rights for it's citizens.
There internet rights have been blocked by the government and they cannot access the internet freely because they get caught accessing the internet they get a prison sentence or some kind of internet punishment.
All citizens deserve to be equal whether in the government or not because we basically live in a free world now were we can easily access the internet and people of these countries deserve such rights as well. Like how we have a bill a rights they should also be a bill of rights for the internet.

Question 4 - inappropriate digital conduct and the effects on society
Article 1
Managing employee use of social media
Social media and inappropriate conduct of employees
Careless use of social media by employees can have a negative effect on the organisation as a whole.
As an employer, you should be aware of and look out for the different instances that could arise.
Negative comments
An employee posting negative comments about other employees, their employer or customers could have a potentially devastating effect on an organisation.
Some examples of negative comments include personal opinions about the organisation, another employee or customer.
Bringing the organisation into disrepute
A much wider audience will be privy to any inappropriate conduct that occurs online. For example, a video uploaded to YouTube could have thousands of views within a short period of time.
Your response to such inappropriate conduct will be dependent on the extent it can be linked to your business and also to what extent it could or potentially could damage your reputation or business.
Bullying and harassment
You also need to be aware of the potential for social media to be used for cyber bullying and harassment purposes.
Bullying and harassment can be defined as ‘unwanted conduct which has the purpose or effect of violating an individual’s dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment’.
Online bullying and harassment can include:
- social exclusion – limiting interaction to cliques/groups
- posting offensive or threatening comments
- posting photographs or videos
Read more on bullying and harassment.
Breach of confidentiality
The duty to preserve confidentiality is part of the duty of fidelity which all employees owe to their employer. You may also have confidentiality clauses which set out clear rules about the use of company/employee information.Unauthorised disclosure of company information via social media sites could include details relating to:
- profit/loss accounts
- potential redundancies
- employee personal information
- client details
- details of grievances/internal complaints
- trade secrets
Article 2
Negative Effects of Social Media
Unfortunately, there are a few downsides too to social networking. Many introverts and socially reclusive users place too much emphasis on virtual interaction, and ignore the real world outside. Read on to learn about a few more negative repercussions of social media.
Cyber Bullying and Online Harassment
If you are not careful, unscrupulous people can target you for cyber bullying and harassment on social sites. School children, young girls, and women can fall prey to online attacks which can create tension and distress. If you are a victim of cyber bullying, do not take it lying down, but try to take appropriate legal action against the attacker.
Impact on Productivity
Many companies have blocked social networks on their office Internet as addicted employees can distract themselves on such sites, instead of focusing on work. In fact, studies show that British companies have lost billions of dollars per year in productivity because of social media addiction among employees.
Impact on Privacy
If you are not careful, what you post on the Net can come back to haunt you. Revealing personal information on social sites can make users vulnerable to crimes like identity theft, stalking, etc. Many companies perform a background check on the Internet before hiring an employee. If a prospective employee has posted something embarrassing on social media, it can drastically affect their chances of getting the job. The same holds true for our relationships too, as our loved ones and friends may get to know if we post something undesirable on social networks.
Conclusion
Social media has its advantages and disadvantages as revealed in this article. It is up to each user to use social sites wisely to enhance their professional and social life, and exercise caution to ensure they do not fall victim to online dangers.
