LECTURE
In lecture we learned the problems which are related to the internet. The present of problems is due to the characteristics of the internet.
Internet information and intent users
What are the problems?
• Intellectual property
- Inventions, ideas, music movie
- IP does not require registration
For more information overview intellectual property on http://www.bpmlegal.com/overview.html
• Plagiarism
Using people’s ideas and words without acknowledging them. Make your own ideas to avoid plagiarism and references the source use.
Also don’t forget that, privacy, security and freedom of speech are problems. To avoid copyright, plagiarism and intellectual property.
- Make sure you acknowledge other people work.
- Reference property.
- Copy and paste the URL.
- Make notes from the notes you have created into your own words.
- Familiarise yourself with the university guidelines
Protecting yourself
The principles for protecting yourself and your PC
- Install a firewall- protect against probes and unsolicited monitoring.
- Install Anti-virus software-educate yourself about unsafe attachments and know the latest viruses.
- Beware of attachments received in any files.
- Be aware of spy ware, monitors users, internet activity.
- Do not reply to SPAM mail
- Set online programs like internet browsers to maximum security.
- Update your anti-virus software at least weekly.
TUTORIAL
Using the APRA website (http://www.apra.com.au/music-users/online_mobile/online_mobile.asp), explain what you need to know about music and the web.
music downloaded over the internet is free which result in lost in songwriters and artists.
To give a brief overview of music copyright in this context, whenever music is downloaded or streamed over the internet, there are a number of rights which are exploited. These include:
the reproduction of a musical work; and
the communication to the public of a musical work.
A musical work is the underlying intellectual property contained in any song - i.e. the melody, chords and lyrics, as written by the composer.
(APRA|AMCOS,2008)
Write a plan to protect yourself from attacks on your privacy and security. This plan should cover the threats of viruses, trojans and how you can protect your own personal information. Use the following sites for reference:

How to Protect Your Computer from Viruses
.If you are using an unsecured operating system, then buying virus protection software is a nice safeguard
.If you simply avoid programs from unknown sources (like the Internet), and instead stick with commercial software purchased on CDs, you eliminate almost all of the risk from traditional viruses.
.You should make sure that Macro Virus Protection is enabled in all Microsoft applications, and you should NEVER run macros in a document unless you know what they do. (Brain,1998-2008)
.Install a firewall- protect against probes and unsolicited monitoring.
- Install Anti-virus software-educate yourself about unsafe attachments and know the latest viruses.
- Beware of attachments received in any files.
- Be aware of spy ware, monitors users, internet activity.
- Do not reply to SPAM mail
- Set online programs like internet browsers to maximum security.
- Update your anti-virus software at least weekly.

Top 12 Ways to Protect Your Online Privacy
Since the issues of online privacy are increasing, you can use the following 12 ways to protect your online privacy.
1, Do not reveals personal information inadvertently.
Avoid giving your personal detail. Learn to use a pseudonym instead of your real name.

6, Beware sites that offer some sort of reward or prize in exchange for your contact information or other personal details.
7, Do not reply to spammers, for any reason.
8, Be conscious of Web security.
9, Be conscious of home computer security.
10, Examine privacy policies and seals.
11, Remember that YOU decide what information about yourself to reveal, when, why, and to whom.
12, Use encryption!

Reading 2 Summary: ‘Ethics in Computing - Social Justice Issues: Electronic Monitoring’
Electronic monitoring is composed of four sub topic which all discussed one main topic. These includes, types of monitoring example workplace privacy and employee monitoring which address privacy in the work place, such as now the employees are doing their job. Privacy issues which address legal issues, example, right to privacy in the workplace in the information age. Also privacy issues covered in defence of employees and in defence of employers. Furthermore suggested policies in business Technology leadership and blogging employees are becoming helpful in the workforce. And finally, privacy resources. Privacy international (P.I) was formed by human rights group in 1990 as a watchdog on surveillance and privacy invasions by governments and corporations. The aim of P.I was to protect people against intrusion by governments and corporations that seek to erode their right.

Reading 3 Summary: ‘Brown & Michaels - Overview of Intellectual Property’
The hardest thing due to intellectual property is to find the appropriate protection for people’s ideas and how to protect them. An idea can be in different form, such as book or computer program, a painting or a photograph. There are four basics kind of intellectual property protection. These are, Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Trade secrets. Patents are divided into three group or section. These are utility patents which cover inventions. Plant patents which is granted to those who invents or discovers and asexually reproduces. Design patents cover the “ornamental appearance” of useful device but not its function. Trademarks cover the appearance of product or its packaging. It also covers the name or symbol of product or service. A copyright protect the works of authorships composition or artistry and also covers other sources such as books, sculptures etc. Trade secret protection is available for secret used in business

LECTURE
Datum: A fact or propositions which have their own limited value, but can built into information. Examples: sampled data e.g. price measured data e.g. census data.
Information: a collection of facts or data that relate to each other. Example: Records: e.g. Budgets, Historical Information e.g. census data.
Knowledge: the sum of range of what has been perceived discovered or learned. Example: white papers, marketing strategies.
Characteristics of Data
- Factual
- Non-judgemental & inferential
- Transient
- Has no Intrinsic “meaning”
- Has no Intrinsic “value”
Characteristics of Information
- Summative
- Relational
- Dimensional
- Permanent
- Has meaning
- Uncertain value
Characteristics of Knowledge
- Inferential
- Experiential
- Judgmental
- Subjective
- Very valuable
Importance
Data is quantitative collection which is valid and unbiased
Information
Always meaningful.
Most inform
Must be related to the data.
Knowledge
Always clear from its origin
Have logical conclusion
Have explanation from the data and information.
Relationships
Data are individual facts or propositions, on their own of limited value, but can build into information. Information is a collection of facts (data) that set a trends and precedents in order to generate.
Knowledge is the application of human experience and wisdom on information in order to make sense of it. Data, information and knowledge are connected in steps. It works like a food chain where when one is missing the other can’t continue without it. This mean, data is raw and information is data that is meaningful and useful and final knowledge is the appropriate
TUTORIAL
a,Based on your research, define data, information, knowledge and wisdom.
Data is a fact or propositions which have their own limited value, but can built into information.
information is a collection of facts or data that relate to each other.
knowledge is the sum of range of what has been perceived discovered or learned.
wisdom is experience and knowledge together with the power of applying them critically or practically.
b.How can the understanding of the relationship between data, information and knowledge assist your university study?
the relationship between data,information and knowledge is that,data is the raw material,collection of data addressing one main point or relate together form information,and when this information become meaningfull,this is what we call knowledge.
Reading 1 Summary: http://www.systems-thinking.org/dikw/dikw.htm
According to Russell Ackoff, a systems theorist and professor of organizational change, the content of the human mind can be classified into five categories:
1. Data: symbols
2. Information: data that are processed to be useful; provides answers to "who", "what", "where", and "when" questions
3. Knowledge: application of data and information; answers "how" questions
4. Understanding: appreciation of "why"
5. Wisdom: evaluated understanding.
(Bellinger et al., 2004)
Ackoff indicates that “the first four categories relate to the past; they deal with what has been or what is known. Only the fifth category, wisdom, deals with the future because it incorporates vision and design. With wisdom, people can create the future rather than just grasp the present and past. But achieving wisdom isn't easy; people must move successively through the other categories”
Data is defined as the raw material which can exist in many forms and not meaningful. Information is defined as a collection of data that have meaning and may be connected relationally, and finally knowledge is defined as the appropriate collection of information which is useful.

LECTURE
Information Management;
Problems that people face today:
• How to manage information in a quick and easy way.
• Use of computer processing power to manage information.
• Ways of organising.
-Text-document-images-webpages
-Bookmarks-presentations-assignments
-citations & references
• Information format: atom-based
- Books, papers, reports, etc.
- Pros:
- Exists in space… we can see it
- We can know where it is
- Easily concealed and to protect
- Difficult to change and copy.
- Cons
- Difficult to edit
- Difficult to distribute
- Bulky- Encyclopaedia and etc.
• Information format; bit-based
Such as digital reproductions and electronic content
Theirs Pros:
- Very flexible and cheap
- Easy to edit
- Easy to mass produce and broadcast
Their Cons:
- spamLack privacy
- Easy to fake, change & edit information
- Unsolicited broadcast-
• The changed face of goods & services from Atom to bit form
- Internet Banking
- E-mail 9from snail mail)
- Music (Mp3 players)
- Different changing face of goods & services
- TV (digital & live interaction *Foxtel IQ
- Music
- Shopping
On the other hand, there should be some principal put forward to organise the bits, this may be organise individually or in groups.

a.Do you think Negroponte’s ideas are still relevant? Why? (150 words approx.)
the reason why Negroponte’s ideas are still relevant is because he was the founder and the director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's uniquely innovative Media Laboratory,therefore a trusted person and his ideas are relevent for future use.His researched was basically for future use and are still existing.He address the issues of bit and atoms giving the merits and consequences of being digital in reflecting the difference between the two. Also the information and entertainment industries, bits and atom are confusing but store them for coming year used.
b.What are the pros and cons of using ‘atoms’ and ‘bits’?
