Day 3-Research

How does digital security impact future digital footprint?

Digital Security- is the protection of your digital identity

Digital security is very important since many tasks are now done online. These are some facts about digital security:

1. Recently, with the growth of DSL and cable connection technologies, millions of small to medium size companies and businesses are wide open to the ravages of the Internet. It is a very simple task for anyone to have full access to all the data contained in the hard drive of anyone connected to a DSL or cable modem line.

2. As much as 60% of corporate data resides unprotected on PC desktops and laptops.

Business as Usual, April 2002)

Practical Consequences
1. The merchant is always responsible for security of the Internet-connected PC where customer details are handled. Virus protection and a firewall are the minimum requirement. To be absolutely safe, store sensitive information and customer details on zip-disks, a physically separate PC or with a commercial file storage service. Always keep multiple back-ups of essential information, and ensure they are stored safely off-site.
2. Where customers order by email, information should be encrypted with PGP or similar software. Or payment should be made by specially encrypted checks and ordering software.
3. Where credit cards are taken online and processed later, it's the merchant's responsibility to check the security of the hosting company's webserver. Use a reputable company and demand detailed replies to your queries.

Investigation-Topic

My topic is "Digital Security." Something important that I discovered is that "there are individuals who steal, deface, or disrupt other people." That is why we need to take precautions.

Digital Access

1.Many low income homes in the United States are America offline because they don't have internet access.
2.Due to digital divide, higher class communities receive better online services than the lower class.
3.Some minority groups are being deprived from learning the most they can because of unequal access to the internet.
4.Bill Gates was the innovator of Microsoft.
5. For better access the government should create better incentives to network builders, treat broadband as a public utility and federal rules should be established to ensure universal access and user choice.
6. The Final recommendations explain how the government should step it up and ensure that the whole nation has internet access because it is essential for everyone, especially in education.
7. The people should demand and explain the importance of internet access to the government.
8. The government should pass a law that limits the cost of the internet and make it available to everyone, and encourage more competition among providers and more options for users.

Evaluation

Investigate: I rated myself a 5 on this stage because I went in depth to discover what program was best to present the Design Cycle to the 6th graders. After really revieweing several options including Prezi and imovie, I chose Prezi and evaluated it against the specifications. This was done by creating two table rating each special function from 1 to 5. I went more in depth on each of Prezi's special functions like music, fonts, images, shapes and themes to get the most out of the program.  I felt this stage was well done because the results were effective.
Design: On this stage I rated myself a 6. I created 3 designs to help me start my project. Each design met the design specifications. I really tried making each design very similar to each other but the difference was the layout. They included an explanation of the Design Cycle stage and a picture to support it. I decided to use the 3rd design because it had the most adequate layout. It is also easy to follow and understand. I feel I did good on this stage because I took my time to consider each design and evaluate it against the requirements. Without this step, I think the final product wouldn't be as successful as it is now because it's important to plan out and think about what exactly is best.
Plan: On my planning I rated myself a 4 because I didn't really put all my effort and thought into it. In order to manage my time and stay on track with the project as a whole, I created a gantt chart and timeline.  This helped me stay organized and complete my project on time. I followed the plan and it ended up being very useful. Without it, I would've probably not have completed each step of the Design Cycle. Next time, I think it will be more helpful to create a visual timeline and check off each stage as I make progress. This will help me keep track of how much I advanced for that stage and what I still need to finish.
Create: On the creation stage I rated myself a 5. Over all this part was well done because I followed my plan. While creating the product, I also looked back on my design. Even though I had some trouble with the program I was using, I was able to figure out how to solve the problem. This is why I rated myself a 5. Looking back on my progress, I was able to elaborate part of it every day.
Evaluate: Finally, on the evaluation I rated my self a 3 becasue I haven't yet gotten the chance to test it out on a 6th grader. Based on the evaluation of my peers, I did everything that was required, so I will continue to put effort into it. I made a self-reflection on my whole project. This last time I made the plan when I was already halfways through the project. It was not as effective as I planned because I was rushing through it. Next time I will make sure I make it from the beginning of the project so that I can follow it and not fall behind. I need to make sure that I not wait till the lastminute to finish up instead I have to planout every step.
