Hacktivism

       On the topic of hacktivism, people who use hacking to steal or distribute what isn't theirs is wrong. For example when people commit identity theft, that should most definitely be illegal. Hacktivism is letting our country and many other systems that we need to strengthen our technology so people that want to commit identity theft or any other technological crime is unable to do so because of the software we use is un-hackable. On that note, I know that there are people in this world that all they do all day is try and hack things. Well in order to stop hacking we must always make progress in technical advancing in order to keep up with hackers. It is the only way to keep hackers from hacking. As we get smarter, so do hackers which makes it difficult to stop them. 

KONY 2012

During the Kony 2012 movie we watched in our lecture, I could not help but remember when my high school tried to advocate KONY 2012 and did not succeed. When we had the paint the town event, no one put up any posters in the Cincinnati, Ohio area and other cities had the same turn out. In order for the KONY campaign to be effective, they should have explained what they were doing with the money they were receiving from people.
