Growing Up Online

12 Things That Not Surprised

- I was already aware of the dangers of the Internets
- Knew about the different types of web sites these dangers can happen
- All the variety of activities on the internet
- Things teen do now days in the internet
- I already knew what mainly internet was mainly used by teens back in 2008
- I knew of the diverse and possibility of creating n alternate persona of you, that can be created in in the internet. (No body knows you're a penguin pretending to be a human on the internet)
- I know popular the media can be
- I  know how can an alternate persona in the internet change emotionally a person or his personality.
- I know what the inter-webz is.
- I know YouTube was a growing site and some tens would know about it.
- I know that many teens are attention seekers and post suicide threats online.
- I was aware that there were trolls in the internet what probably encourage people to "Do It".

12 Things That Surprised Me As a Viewer
- That many teenagers like to surf the web to escape reality
-Teens have blogs or are used to technology in their environment.
- YouTube was very big at that moment, even more popular than I though.
- The Internet hosts suicide help sites
- these sites are common and visited in a daily basis
- Sites that encourage and support the practice of anorexia.
- Many people are so indoctrinated by advertisements in real life, they are most obedient to a websites teachings.
- Teens often seek for help or opinion on the internet because there is no real reason why people should lie or be dishonest to a random individual in he internet.
- There are good and bad in the internet, in the scale that many parents are aware and very concerned on how to control their child´s internet habits.
- A little boy had many external relationships in the Internet without his family knowing, may seem creepy for some but I think this kid is a PLAYER!
- People educate themselves on the internet at a small age back then!
- Teenagers had blogs that where commonly visited, now days the only thing you would normally be visited about is your Facebook

I identified the topic of parents trying to impede predators or internet dangers that the parent will want their child to avoid while being online. Because parents still try to do that now days, there are programs on that and every day there are more online predators everyday., which is quite interesting.

The "dead-sites" or image boards that teens would use in Myspace or websites that are uncommonly visited now days. Because I rarely now how these sites work or whom now in modern day visits those sites and why.

No, I think parents should let and trust their child, after all its THEIR child. And if a father/mother is suspicious of inappropriate behavior online or things you as a parent think your child should NOT be exposed in the internet, then they might investigate their history or internet progress. If they notice their child is being a prey online, then a father/mother can take action... In my opinion of course.

Social tool and work tool... VERY important work tool.

GAFE

My GAFE Assigned project is Forms and Flubaroo.




-How to make a form, what can they be used for, how to embed a form on a blog or website 


Google docs is used for questioners, surveys, applications, and any type of form that you need... for anything! Google Forms replace the habit of delivering or creating forms in paper or tools like Excel, that can be unnecessarily complex to make simple forms. Things it can do its the endless possibility of constructing your activities, submissions and many more forms that suit your need. 








-What is Flubaroo, how do you use is, what would it be useful for?


Flubaroo is a type of grading method, done more easily by excel  For example,if you are

(Aim) Bots and James Bond-ware

I know Spyware is used mostly to gain, access and account information from a device that is not necessary yours. Spyware can either be installed by someone manually into a device or via the internet by using spam, viruses or other malicious software.

Are bots intended to be illegal or intended to do transmit malware into a server?


http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/spyware-prevent.aspx


http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-bots.htm


Spyware, if installed in your mobile device; can be used to keep track of your call, camera, audio, current location and all files within the phone.

Aim-Bot, and illegal bot used cheat, it is used by gamers to assist =st on whatever they are doing but better online.

Bots are intended primarily to collect links and data of search engines to help the servers, although they can be corrupted and be used against servers.

Design project day 5

What was the biggest problem you encountered?
In our 1 man group ( or 1 man army) we decided all participants on the group were helpful and  could efficiently could overcome any possible disturbance or problem to our project. A major problem in the project day, was when our group had done little for the project when we where running out of time.

 How did you solve it


 All participants (Me) were extremely intelligent and thus know all of the answers of universe (Although they're teenagers) and could finish the project to its expectations in a short-term period. 





When did you get your biggest "AH HA" idea? What was it?
 
When  I was in fierce battle training with my Zen master,  i remembered hi teachings and discovered the idea of adding a ball, so it could be more fun instead of using pebbles. 




Who in your group resisted new ideas the most and why?
Me, because although everyone in my group is awesome, I did all the support. Also because I supported my own ideas and others without hesitation...even if the idea was terrible. 

What doubts did YOU have about the project and how did you overcome those doubts?

The first day, the engineer in our group had a problem with new power of regime, so we executed him but had forgotten to take the blueprints of our project, which our engineer had. I improvised in an exact replica in my Brain Kingdom (Mind) and planned some even more awesome blueprints to execute the project as expected.

Who in your group played "devil's advocate" (a person who questions everything, even good ideas) and how did that help the process?

 In our vast and numerous group (Of 1 participant) we had several rioters in our group, questioning our logic, our ethic code and how we built this project to perfection.  Luckily our group also had several volunteers to enslave these rioters and protesters in the name of our regime. They were destined a hard fate due to the fact on how they complained on why the project took long to develop, how big it should be or even if Middle School kids would like such a perfect project. As our history books claim, their bodies were disposed, in front of the our City Hall Plaza, so our people could see.

Design Project Day 3

Define Phase:
Is my project fun:

My project is the pinnacle of human ingenuity. It is the funnest, most endangering experience children will find. My description defines the game in a way, the player already knows what the game looks like, he might as well already won the game by reading the instructions. \

2. The most powerful ideas of the Gr'nerardi'ken alien race have been taken to make this game. Almost all of these ideas shall be kept. Like, how can 2 players (chosen by natural selection) have to collaborate to win the game. There is also the great that you can pick it up, you have more control over the game (and the universe). 
3. Although the ideas are simply magnificent, there are ones completely useless. Such as the idea of RULEZ, the games rules don't apply, the idea is to do whatever you want, but the player does not know this, so he has to follow the rules which I, the God of Darkness have modified and taken out a few futile ideas:

Ball out of paper
3 players
Very Big Design
Rules are strict
Cheating is allowed


The Plan: Trick Players Into Entering a Giant Blender.

Build Plan: I would make the model step by step, brick by brick, I will build the base, the outer layer, the super-awesome slide at the beginning of the game, and if necessary.. the windows made out of Semtex to show the interior of the game.

I will need such materials as : Transparent paper, Tin-Foil (For the costume), Plastic Ball, Banners, Pixie Blood, Candy (Any but not ugly ones) and finally handles for the two platonic players.

FINAL PRESENTATION



                             My goals for this project were rather simple and not very complex; learn how worms, hacking and how to use CMD for cool stuff you could do to affect other people.



To complete this project, I wanted to understand and for that I looked on several places that helped a lot. If I wanted to learn about Worms or how hacking works, then I will tun a quick search on the web, which is very easy and efficient. The process of learning these things is easy and you can find other topics that can interest you along the way.




An EPIC FAIL that I went through was using my basic knowledge on hacking to use, which I highly recommend on not doing since you are just beginning. Good thing is that I learned to NOT trust "easy" hacking tutorials because those things take time, understanding it how ever does not. I also had a fail when trying to shutdown computers via CMD (Command Prompt) but I needed Root Access (Admin access) as I only had the standard user access.






     If you want to improve on some actual ultra-awesome hacking, you can always search on Google and YouTube for post, articles and threads on how to use it. A quick shortcut I will like to hand out is to ask people who know about these topics, whether in person or web.



 Some of the best tools i have found are video tutorials around YouTube (A few links below), because they show both visually and can have someone guiding you through steps.
How to use CMD

Some CMD "hack" To Force Shutdown

Search for news articles or even videos that talk about the latest hacking scandals, important events that have happened so you get an idea of how it starts and how much havoc it can create.



 As I have previously said, dont think you can do a major hack or bypass security in a span of a few days, I certainly dont recommend " Hacking Videos" since they have a poor and probably fake demonstration. (Its not someone will hack the Stock Exchange and then post a video about it...)

How To Hack The FBI....but we know better

(This is one is rather an obvious troll but it demonstrates the point I´m trying to show)



And finally the Presentation:
