Review thursday 10/1

a) How does the type of Internet connection influence the things you can do on the internet?
It all depends on the kind of internet connection to do things on the internet because if its slow then you cant watch youtube clips or play games. Direct Connections is the best way to go because then you can take full advantage of internet service without the need to dial in. Plus, all of your files are stored on the comp and response time is much faster.

b) Choose 2 areas of impact to discuss 1-2 (in total 3) social & ethical issues related to internet connections.

Education-- Equality of Access: Students and teachers can search up educational information on the internet and will be allowed access to as much info as they want. - Control: Students and teachers have control over how much info they want and how much they dont want. - Reliability: Students and teachers feel comfortable and trust the internet connection to be able to use the internet and find information.

Health--Authenticity: A diseased human doesnt have to call up a hospital to ask about his disease but instead can go onto the hospitals website and see how they treat his kind of disease. - Integrity: However, though there are some accurate websites, some like Wikipedia, an ill human cannot always relie on it.
