ACTIVITY 2: 5 Internet Threats
1. Malware
Malware is malicious software such as spyware, ransomware, viruses and worms. Malware is activated when a user clicks on a malicious link or attachment, which leads to installing dangerous software. Cisco reports that malware, once activated, can:
2. Phishing
Phishing attacks use fake communication, such as an email, to trick the receiver into opening it and carrying out the instructions inside, such as providing a credit card number. “The goal is to steal sensitive data like credit card and login information or to install malware on the victim’s machine,” Cisco reports.
3. Spam:
Spam refers to unsolicited messages in your email inbox. From the sender’s perspective, spam is a great way to get their message across in an efficient and cost-effective way. While spam is usually considered harmless, some can include links that will install malicious software on your computer if the recipient clicks on it.
4. Phishing
Created by cybercriminals attempting to solicit private or sensitive information, phishing schemes tend to be the starting point of nearly all successful cyberattacks. Phishing schemes can disguise itself in many forms, whether its posing as your bank or a common web service, with the sole purpose to lure you in by clicking links and asking you to verify account details, personal information, or passwords. Many people still associate phishing threats with emails, but the threat has evolved beyond your inbox. Hackers are now employing text messages, phone calls, phony apps, and social media quizzes to trick an unwitting victim.
5. Computer Worm:
The distinctive trait of a worm is that it can self-replicate and doesn’t require human interaction to create copies and spread quickly and in great volume. Most worms are spread though tricking internet users and are designed to exploit known security holes in software. Since many employees use their phones for work-related tasks when they are not within the perimeter of their corporate firewall, businesses are at a high risk for potential worms. If a machine is infected, the worm can: corrupt files, steal sensitive data, install a backdoor giving cybercriminals access to your computer, or modify system settings to make your machine more vulnerable.

ASSIGNMENT 1: What is Computer
A computer is a machine that can be instructed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically via computer programming. Modern computers have the ability to follow generalized sets of operations, called programs. These programs enable computers to perform an extremely wide range of tasks.
ASSIGNMENT 2: What is the connection of Internet and World Wide Web?
In simple terms, the World Wide Web is just one common area for information exchange, facilitated by global computer networks or the Internet. You connect to this Internet to access the Web, but the Internet is just the connection between countless, separate servers, computers, and devices.
ASSIGNMENT 3: Rules of Netiquette
How many hours do you spend on the Internet per day?
• I spend 10 hours a day because we have online class. it’s really difficult for me because we need to attend online class.
Can you leave without Internet for a week?
• Yes, I’d love to. Because when the time where internet is still not being invented or created life was so simple and full of joy. Almost everyone were healthy because they are far from the reach of people’s judgements or negative thoughts and opinions. They sleep on the right time and eat on the right time. Everyone were doing things manually and little harder than what we have now but that makes everyone together and build good relationship to each other.
What positive or negative impact does Internet have on your life?
• The positive effect of gadgets in education, the internet is a great source of research.
• The negative effect of gadgets in education, as much as it is easy to research it is also easy to cheat especially in online classes.
How many times have you complained about your Internet connection speed?
• I complained almost of the time, it affects me with my learning. Most students including me use the internet to go to our online classes. Here we do our tests, activities, and we discuss. With bad internet connection we can’t properly learn.
ASSIGNMENT 4: Think Before You Click
For me, social media plays a major role in our society nowadays. Almost everyone has access and social media accounts. One image can spread faster than you can imagine and it can influence someone’s life enormously. Before you hit the like button and share something, ensure that you wouldn’t hurt somebody’s feeling. Be sensitive enough to the theme and idea of the image. For example, you see a picture of a woman wearing a short-revealing dress. The photo was taken when the woman is unaware of the situation. You as a responsible social media user, will never support this idea and you wouldn’t share this for others to see.
Work Computers are used in different jobs like call centers, and different engineers they used it to make their work more easy
•
• Business They are used in every aspect of a company’s operations, including product creation, marketing, accounting and administration. It is critical that business owners take the time to choose the right computers, software and peripherals for their organization.

I personally believe that this quotation means a lot of things especially when it comes to social media. It may seem very cliché since it is said a lot of time while using social media, but this quote obviously just means to think carefully before even posting stuff in social media. Whatever you post can be used against you, because nowadays, people could take a screenshot of what you posted and edit it to something bad. So, before even posting some malicious stuff in the media, you should carefully think about it, if you really want to do it or not.
Acronym of THINK
T – The internet might be very dangerous,
H – Hence, people might get harmed when using it.
I – In the internet, everyone should be alert of what to click.

PROPER WASTE MANAGEMENT
Waste generation is a serious problem throughout the world. Solid wastes are used materials that are thrown away indiscriminately everywhere. Until now, improper waste management has remained one of the major concerns not only in our country of the Philippines but all over the world. It causes water pollution, soil contamination, air pollution, and causes various respiratory diseases and other health problems, global warming, and a lot of other problems. It impacts not only humans, but also plants, wildlife, and marine life. All of us know that we should take action. The first step, I think, is to be able to know something. Consider a world where there is no way to dispose of waste. Any home will generate a significant amount of waste. Some people may try to reduce the effect of trash and waste on themselves, but this often leads to increased emissions and environmental impacts on a local level. Such piles of trash and infestations will have a huge visual effect and aura. Many people’s lives would be terrible, and their welfare would be unstable. The majority of people do not value the 3R’s (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) and do not observe proper waste disposal in their homes. To save environment we need to understand that the more waste we create daily, the more waste we must somehow get rid of.
By exercising proper waste management in our homes and that our use of plastics, Styrofoam, and rubbers, we will save the environment.
Recycling items that can also be found and reusing them, such as shampoo and junk food sachets into wallets, reusable bags, paper to paper crafts, and cans and bottles to flowerpots.
Separation of packaging, plastics, containers, biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste there are different colored baskets to segregate your wastes at home level.
Through implementing all of the solutions and prevention measures listed, we will provide a healthy and safe environment for all of us humans, animals, and marine life. A small action may have a significant impact on the world. Be the one who is committed to transforming the environment. Take good care of the environments and the life of all the living things, stop the global warming that causes climate change, have a beautiful environment that the next generation can nurture. The given methods reduce the consumption of natural resources and lowers the ultimate waste disposal needs.
Our campaign aims to enlighten the people on the importance of proper management and how it can our world. We aim to provide solutions and be the voice of field that everyone hears but never do anything. To achieve a sustainable environment for all and to do this we need a sustainable waste management.
“Be the change you wish to be seen in the environment by reducing, reusing, and recycling.”

LESSON 1.2: INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION COMMUNICATION AND TECHNOLOGY
DIGITAL NATIVES
A person born or brought up during the age of digital technology and therefore familiar with computers and the internet form an early age.
ICT
It deals with the use of different communication technologies such as mobile phones, telephone, internet, etc. to locate, save, send and edit information.
ICT IN OUR COUNTRY
The Philippines, dubbed by most as the ICT Hub on Asia Due to the growth of BPO Industries.
Time Magazine’s “The Selfiest Cities around the World for 2014” placed two cities from the Philippines in the top 1 and 9 spots.
Makati City – Ranked 1st
Cebu City – Ranked 9th
Philippines is one of the largest countries which houses BPO centers.
There are 106.8 cellphones for every 100 Filipinos.
INTERNET | WORLD WIDE WEB
INTERNET
An infrastructure that connects users together. These users may range from companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter to end-users.
WORLD WIDE WEB
A huge collection of information, data, and resources that facilitates communication between users and computers.
The web uses the internet as its medium to transfer or exchange data. It also uses a client-server model.
TIM BERNERS-LEE
Created the World Wide Web.
WEB 1.0 (STATIC PAGE)
It is the “readable” phrase of the World Wide Web with flat data. A static page, meaning users cannot interact with the page and the page are in read-only format.
Examples of Web 1.0 applications are shopping carts, mp3.com etc.
WEB 2.0 (DYNAMIC PAGE)
It is the “writable” phrase of the World Wide Web with interactive data. Unlike Web 1.0, Web 2.0 facilitates interaction between web users and sites, so it allows users to interact more freely with each other. Web 2.0 encourages participation, collaboration, and information sharing.
Examples of Web 2.0 applications are Youtube, Flickr, Facebook, etc.
The term used to describe the collection of web applications used for interaction and collaboration.
It was coined by Darcy DiNucci in 1999. It does not refer to a new version of the web, just a refocus of its use.
It is more that the retrieval of information. It is the participation in a website.
FEATURES OF WEB 2.0
FOLKSONOMY
It allows users to categorize and classify/arrange information using freely chosen keywords (e.g., tagging). Popular social networking sites such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. use tags that start with the pound sign (#). This is also referred to as hashtag.
RICH USER EXPERIENCE
Content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s input. An example would be a website that shows local content. In the case of social networking sites, when logged on, your account is used to modify what you see in their website.
LONG TAIL
Services are offered on demand rather than on a one-time purchase. In certain cases, time-based pricing is better than file-size-based pricing or vice versa. This is synonymous to subscribing to a data plan that charges you for the amount of time you spent in the Internet, or a data plan that charges you for the amount of bandwidth you used.
USER PARTICIPATION
The owner of the website is not the only one who is able to put content. Others are able to place a content of their own by means of comment, reviews, and evaluation. Some websites allow readers to comment on an article, participate in a poll, or review a specific product (e.g., Amazon.com, online stores).
SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE
Users will subscribe to a software only when needed rather than purchasing them. This is a cheaper option if you do not always need to use a software. For instance, Google Docs is a free web-based application that allows the user to create and edit word processing and spreadsheet documents online. When you need a software, like a Word Processor, you can purchase it for a one-time huge amount and install it in your computer and it is yours forever. Software as a service allows you to “rent” a software for a minimal fee.
MASS PARTICIPATION
It is a diverse information sharing through universal web access. Since most users can use the Internet, Web 2.0’s content is based on people from various cultures.
Web 3.0 and the Semantic Web
SEMANTIC WEB
Is a movement led by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The semantic web provides a framework that allows data to be shared and reused to deliver web content specifically targeting the user.
WEB 3.0
It is the “executable” phrase of Word Wide Web with dynamic applications, interactive services, and “machine-to-machine” interaction. Web 3.0 is a smarter version and semantic web which refers to the future. In Web 3.0, computers can interpret information like humans and intelligently generate and distribute useful content tailored to the needs of users. One example of Web 3.0 is Tivo, a digital video recorder. Its recording program can search the web and read what it finds to you based on your preferences.
SEVERAL PROBLEMS OF WEB 3.0
1. COMPATIBILITY
HTML files and current web browsers could not support Web 3.0.
2. SECURITY
The user’s security is also in question since the machine is saving his or her preferences.
3. VASTNESS
The World Wide Web already contains billions of web pages.
4. VAGUENESS
Certain words are imprecise. The words “old” and “small” would depend on the user.
5. LOGIC
Since machines use logic, there are certain limitations for a computer to be able to predict what the user is referring to at a given time.

When you look at the Excel screen – or any other spreadsheets screen – you can see rectangular table or grid of rows and columns.
In newer versions of Excel, each work sheet contains roughly a million rows and more than 16,000 columns, which necessitates an addressing scheme in order to keep track of where data is located.
The horizontal rows are identified by numbers (1,2,3) and the vertical columns by letters d the alphabet (A, B, C). For columns beyond 26, columns are identified by two or more letters such as AA, AB, AC or AAA, AAB, etc.
The intersection point between a column and a row is the small rectangular box known as a cell. The cell id the basic unit for storing data in the worksheet, and because each worksheet contains millions of the cells, each one is identified by its cell reference.
A cell reference is a combination of the column letter and the row number such as A3, B6, and AA345. In these cell references, the column letter is always listed first.
