World Wide Web

I feel like the future of internet is completely unpredictable. I feel that everything will be connected. For example, Facebook, Youtube and Google might be connected under the same account. I hope the security improves in the future and creates ways of keeping your privacy safe. 

The cloud is sort of a online database of all your personal documents and an area where you can use word processing software. In the article "The Windy City Teams with Microsoft on Cloud Strategy" it says the Chicago offices will use the Cloud to access Mircosoft Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Lync and Onenote and it will save the city alot of money. Instead of buying thousands of copies of Mircosoft office, they can buy a license and use it with a large amount of employees. 

Networks and Communication

Advantages of communication technologies is that their quick and easy. These days you don't have to write a formal letter to communicate with someone hundreds of miles away. Instead, you can just pick up your smart phone and email, text, or call them.  Although there are many advantages our new form of communication comes with disadvantages. In my opinion, this new era of communication has taken away the emotion and person interaction which are important. They are making people lazier. .

I've dealt with spam, phishing, and texting while driving first hand. In the article "BBB: New Wave of" Phishing Scams Uses Facebook Info for Personalized Spam" there is a Facebook spam messages that lead you to a website that will give your computer malware.Abusing technologies for criminal activities will always be one step ahead of everyone. All we can do is try to create awareness and keep advancing our security 
systems. On the internet if something looks to good to be true it usually is. For example, the Nigerian prince that needs your bank account information to transfer money to you for no reason is a popular phishing method through email which i have personally experienced.
