Someone else's presentation topic

Today in class I got the chance to present in front of the class, which is not a fun experience. My hands are still shacking from that experience. Also it didn't help that the last time I present in front of a class was back when I was in Junior year in high school.

So other than that experience, I learn a lot from my other classmates. There was a few presentation that stand out because they were just amazing. And there's me who almost forgot what to say in front of the class. Other than that,  I would like to talk about the most interesting presentation given in the class.

It was back on Monday were this one guy that told an interesting story. His topic was about cybersecurity. He when into detail in the first ever hack being recorded. Which was tapping into phone lines and making free calls. Seem harmless but over time people begin learn more how a system works and started to take advantage of it. I forgot what year it was but he talks about the time when the Melissa and the ILOVEYOU virus was rapid in people email account. Those bugs get into your contact list and start sending affected mail to other people. People thinks it you and the cycle starts over again. Their was more that he talk about but the general message was all of these attacks are for financial gain or to destroy a person reputation.

Moving along this student talk about the issue of cameras that could be easily be hack remotely. He told the class how easy it was to check in unsuspected people. Just go and check the dark web and you would be able to check someone across the country. The best way to defend yourself is to just cover up your camera on your laptop or just disconnect your webcam.

Overall I really like his presentation. It was informal, interesting, and he has a good personality. One last thing to mention was that the end of his presentation was that he plugging in a USB drive to the computer name "lol" and play a video.  On the screen it says "you just hack"  and a random guy just dancing to the beat.

What makes a community and dose Tech provide

In class last Thursday, we kind of just talk about how can a community be a community. For the most part everyone has a different view on how a community can be form. But the discussion was about if a community can be build in the internet and is it possible to have it similar to an actual community in real life

From my understand, a community is made when a divers group of people are living in regional area. Everyone has something in common, such as norms, values, identity. And for the most part, people are generally friendly to one and another and know each other a bit. You could see this similar to large family that sometimes says hello to you when you visit for the holidays. Then you got the town hall, elected leaders, public workers and workers with different skill sets. That's how I see a community is form.

So, dose tech world has anything like a community? well surprising yes,
The largest ones I know are the gamming community in MMO or Massively multiplayer online game. You have the popular games like World of Worldcraft, Overwatch, or any games that get people play together. Even for the games that don't have some type of chat room, people would go online and make a website to get people connected. This might sound funny but the game that I consider the most tightly knit community is League of legends. In this game people are group into teams that need to complete a task to beat the enemy team. I haven't play this game but the time my friends have talk about it. They go on and talk about the game nonstop. A little research on the game's website leads me to believe this is true. There are thousand of forums and many more stuff I need time to understand completely.

Its true that people in these gaming communities don't actually see each other but people have a good way to connect with each other. Another place that can be consider as a community is Facebook. know a days Facebook connects mostly everyone in your life. You can see them. have the option to talk to one another and much more.

So dose tech have a way to provide the same as a community. In my definition of a community its a yes.
