Cyber Warfare

Cyber Warfare

By:Salihah Muhammad

        Cyber Warfare has been a very popular topic I the media. Cyber Warfare is the talk of town but what is it? Cyber Warfare is the use of computers and the internet in conducting warfare in cyber space. Cyber space is the notional environment in which communication over computer networks occurs. This brings up the topic about wars in the United States and elsewhere.  I wonder will they begin to do wars on the computer. This might be good to the people but it can cause other things to happen. For example people getting into government files. If someone hacks into a government file, that can cause a lot of issues. That will not just harm the government but that will harm everyone. That could cause people to lose jobs and other things that are important like houses and even family pets. In conclusion the thought of any war is harmful and could cause heart ache and pain. Everyone should just get along and we will not have to think about these alternate war routes.  

File Sharing

While in computer Apps 2 class we discussed the issues on file sharing. The topic we focused on the most was a company called “Lime Wire”. Lime wire is a free peer to peer file sharing website. The company has shut down due to the illegal use of the website. The website was allowing its users to download the songs without paying for the songs. The company can end up paying 1 billion dollars for its damages. Lime wire was one of the most famous places to download music. I do not believe the website should have shut down they should have came up with a method so the customers could pay less than other companies and that would have helped “Lime Wire” and the people who loves the web site. I remember my cousin’s would always use the website. When a new CD would come out they would always have it. I thought the police was going to come and lock them up. Then I learned about the situation in Mr.Morean class.

Osama bin Laden is Dead

“Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort.  There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.  We must –- and we will -- remain vigilant at home and abroad”.

The quote is about the death of Osama bin Laden and how much it meant to the United States citizens. Osama bin Laden was responsible for the attack on the United States on September 11, 2001. On that date buildings, people and transportation was destroyed. This day went down in history and will never be forgotten. Every president since then has spoke out about 9/11 but never did enough to catch Osama bin Laden. On May 1^st Barack Obama said that Osama was captured/ killed and the United States had his body in custody. This was the best news to the American citizens and people all over. After 9/11 it took the United States and counter terrorism cooperation’s from Pakistan 10 years to find the man who was responsible for the action that led to 9/11.
