Cyber bullying affects many adolescents and teens on a daily basis Cyber bullying affects many adolescents and teens on a daily basis.

What are other things to think about with Technology…

Shopping “On the Line” Craigslist most dangerous! http://abc7.com/news/lapd-sets-up-safe-zones-for-online-buyers-sellers/2156129/ Craigslist most dangerous! “Let it go” and “Offer up”

Home Monitor Safety Echo and Alexa are Amazon Google – Home Convenient and user friendly – BUT is it safe? They know your every move

Ransomware and Malware Ransomware is a subset of malware. Malware attacks usually come in the form of a computer virus or worm. A virus piggybacks on something like a document, spreadsheet or e-mail, whereas a worm is a more active attack. It starts on a networked computer system and attempts to subvert one or more computers on the network. This used to be difficult when networked computers were limited in number and connectivity. These days, of course, the internet effectively links billions of devices. - Hospitals, government offices, and general public

Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality and Robots The ultimate goal is a pair of smart glasses, and companies such as Google Microsoft, Facebook, Apple and Snapchat are all actively developing or exploring such a product. But in the near-term most popular augmented reality applications will take place on a smartphone, as was the case with last summers smash hit “Pokemon Go app”. Business Insider Nov 16, 2016

Virtual Reality Virtual Reality (VR) is an artificial, computer-generated simulation or recreation of a real life environment or situation. It immerses the user by making them feel like they are experiencing the simulated reality firsthand, primarily by simulating their vision and hearing. Wear a headset like Facebooks’ Oculus Soon shop this way – cars, clothes, IKEA

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that layers computer-generated enhancements atop an existing reality in order to make it more meaningful though the ability to interact with it. It is quickly becoming mainstream. 3D emails, photos or text messages. Hologram and motion activated commands coming soon.

Robots There are 3 parts to every robot – Brawn, Bone and Brain The number of robots in the world today is approaching 1,000,000 – with half of that number in Japan. Only 15% in America In use everywhere – vacuum the house, mow the lawn, & identify bombs!
