Digital society & computer ethics

 .

Digital Society

A Digital Society is an interdisciplinary research area and a kind of progressive society that has been formed as a result of adaptation as well as integration of advanced technologies into the society and culture. It reflect the results of the modern society in adoption and integrating information and communication technologies at home, work, education and recreation.

However, we also have to understand how the scale and speed of these change impact consumers, user, citizens and workers, including all of these combined into a single 'digital person', as well as how they affect social and private life, education, science, government, democracy and business. Digital Society including its meaning and concept, stakeholders, characteristics and features. Paper also talks about the challenges of Digital Society including its academic potentiality.

Computer Ethics

Computer ethics is the set of commonly agreed principles that govern the use of computers. Computer ethics first rose to prominence during the Second World War, when MIT professor Norbert Wiener predicted significant social and ethical consequences to the cybernetics technology he was helping to develop.

As technology advances, computers and the internet have an increasing impact on society. Therefore, computer ethics must be part of the discussion whenever creating new technologies. A modern example is how artificial intelligence affects existing jobs and human communication. When computer ethics is part of the conversation, it helps ensure new technologies positively affect society.

Introduction of Computer

.  A computer is an electronic device. It take input and store the data in memory and performing the function to produce accurate result in output device. It is used to type document, send email, play game, browse the web and entertainment.   Characteristics of computer  1 . High speed  Computer is very fast device. It is capable of performing calculation of very large amount of data. The computer has unit of speed in microsecond, nanosecond and even in picosecond. The computer is capable of performing millions of tasks per second. 2. Accuracy  The computer produces highly accurate and reliable result.  It does not make any kind of mistake in calculating. The calculation are 100% error free. The computers perform accurate 'n' number of times. 3. Storage capability A computer has much more storage capability. It can store large amount of data. It can store any type of data such as image, video, text document, audio and many more. 4. Diligence Diligence ...

Introduce Linux, UNIX and Linux distribution.

 . Linux Linux is an open source operating system. The term Linux is actually referred to mean a kernel of Unix like operating system developed by a Finish software architect Linus Torvald. The name Linux is derived from Linus' Unix. Linux was originated from the inspiration of a small Unix like operating system MINIX by A.S Tanenbum. Linux is a complete multiuser, multiprocessing, secure and stable operating system which is also considered as UNIX clone. However no code from the proprietary from AT and T is included in Unix. It has flavor of Unix but is not Unix. UNIX  UNIX is a layered operating system. The innermost layer is the hardware that provides the service for the OS. The operating system, referred to in UNIX as the kernel, interacts directly with the hardware and provides the services to the user program. These user programs don't need to know anything about the hardware. They just need to know how to interact with the kernel and it's up to the kernel to provide ...

Open System Interconnect (OSI) Reference Model

 . Open system interconnection (OSI) Model explains how packet travels through various layers to other devices on a network, even if the sender and destination have different types of network media. Layer 1(Physical layer):  Function  To activate, maintain, deactivate the physical connection.  To define voltage and data rates needed for transmission.  To convert the digital bits into electrical signals.  To decide weather the transmission the transmission is simplex, half or full duplex.  Physical layer doesn’t perform the detection and correction of errors. Layer 2 (Datalink layer):  Framing (stream of bits into manageable data units):  The datalink layer divides the stream of bits received from the network layer into frame manageable data units called frames.  Physical addressing (MAC Address):  Data link layer adds a header to header to the frame to define the sender and receiver of the frame. Flow Control (mechanism for overwhel...
