Q.2.1. USE INFORMATION FLUENCY SKILLS TO ANALYZE THE GROUND BREAKING ARCHEOLOGICAL FINDINGS BY PROFERSOR LEE BERGER FROM WITS UNIVERSITY.
INFORMATION FLUENCY SKILLS
The information process about (Homo Naledi).
Ask
Analyse
The information process about (Homo Naledi).
Ask
- Who was Homo Naledi
- What was the significant about this discovery
- Information was acquired at the following website: http://ewn.co.za/features/Naledi
Analyse
- A team of archaeologist led by professor lee Berger undertook the rising star expedition and they had made history by discovering and salvaging fossils of at least an individual from the Dinaledi chamber. this was evolutionary discovery since a new species of hominines called Homo Naledi was found in the, remote chamber. Homo Naledi have distinct physical features that are astonishingly similar to that of human being such as:
- curved fingers
- small skulls
- slender bodies
- ape-like shoulders
- According to the finding highlighted in the Homo Naledi could be our common ancestor, therefore this suggest that it could had human characteristics both physical and mental as well as similar behavioural characteristics.
- The Dinaledi chamber could have been used as a burial ground where the newfound species could have performed burial rituals since none of the fossils had mark nor did they attend the chamber at the same time.
- Research was conducted thoroughly and the information was extracted from a good source.
- EWN online (2016). who is Homo? Accessed 9 April

POE;QUESTION 2;Findings of Lee Berger from Wits university.
Homo Naledi is an extinct species of hominin first described in 2015 and assigned by the anthropologists to the genus Homo.In 2013 fossil skeletons were found in south africa gauteng province in the Rising Star Cave system,part of the cadle or Humankind World Heritage Site.As of 10 september 2015 ,fossils of at least fifteen individuals amounting to 1550 specimens,have been excavated from the cave.
This species is characterized by a body mass and stature to small bodied human populations a smaller endocranial volume similar to Australopithecus and a skull shape similar to early Homo species.The skeletan anatomy presents ancestral features known from australopithecines with more recent features associated with hominins.The fossils have not been dated.
The fossils were discovered by recreational cavers Rick Hunter and Steven Tucker in 2013.Homo Naledi was formally described in september 2015 by a 47 members international team of authors led by American and South African paleonthropologist Lee Berger of the university of witwatersrand who proposed the bones represent a new homo species.
The word naledi means a star in the sotho language. It was choosen to correspond to the name of Dinaledi chamber of the rising star cave system where fossils were found.
QUESTION 7 CRITICALLY DISCUSS ABOUT HOW USERS ENABLE HACKERS TO OBTAIN THESE DETAILS MORE EASILY BY PROVIDING KNOWN COMPANIES WITH OUR DATA AND OVERVIEW HOW THEY CAN BE AVOIDED OR MIGRATED
Q7
CYBER attacks are a growing risk to business in South Africa, but neither the government nor business are doing enough to combat it, according to cyber security experts. A shortage of skills combined with a lack of urgency in implementing measures to tackle cybercrime have seen South Africa rank low on a number of cyber security assessments, according to Basie von Solms, director of the University of Johannesburg’s Centre for Cyber Security. Cybercrime has a negative effect on South Africa’s productivity, national security and its attraction as an investment environment. SA Centre for Information Security CEO Beza Belayneh says South Africa is not doing well in global comparisons in terms of the number of victims and the amount of money lost. "Different surveys find SA is between third-and sixth-worst in cybercrime," he says. The 2013 Norton Report has found that South Africa has the third-highest number of cybercrime victims, after Russia and China. Cyber crime Prof von Solms says cybercrime is largely unregulated by government agencies. "Business is also guilty of not doing enough to tackle cybercrime, but government should be the guide," he says. The Cabinet passed the National Cyber Security Policy Framework in March 2012. It took another 18 months for the Department of Communications to appoint the National Cyber Security Advisory Council in October last year. The framework is supposed to co-ordinate government actions on cyber security and ensure co-operation between the government, the private sector and civil society on tackling cyber threats. The policy is not yet publicly available. "It’s really stupid that guidance on how to secure cyber space in SA is kept under wraps, as many of the problems would be dealt with by this guiding document," says Prof von Solms. The Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 2002, which provides for inspectors to enforce cyber security in South Africa, has not been fully implemented and is now being rewritten. "The work of a cyber inspector wasn’t really spelt out in the act and after 12 years we haven’t seen a single inspector. We just haven’t got the skills," says Prof von Solms. Mr Belayneh says the problem is Parliament’s inability to multi-task. He says the Protection of Personal Information Act, signed into law in November last years, was nine years in the making. During this time MPs were focused on dealing with the breach of privacy, and the issue of cybercrime was neglected. What is most concerning is that this neglect has put the country’s security at risk, he says. Wolfpack Information Risk’s report, titled, The South African Cyber Threat Barometer 2012/13, identifies the lack of a national computer security incident res-ponse team as a major concern. Mr Belayneh agrees. Should South Africa’s strategic infrastructure, such as aviation or financial systems, come under cyber attack, the country does not have a national response team to co-ordinate a cyber defence strategy. "We need a national centre that could co-ordinate a plan for the cyber attack that people think could never happen, but can," Mr Belayneh says. Director and joint head of Forensics at ENSAfrica David Loxton says that two years ago, the bulk of his practice was devoted to procurement fraud and business hijackings. However, in the past year it has shifted to cybercrime — "the forum of choice for white-collar criminals". Mr Loxton predicts that in the next three years the fruits of cybercrime will outweigh the fruits of all other white-collar crimes. Globally, governments and the private sector are taking cyber security increasingly seriously. It has moved from 12th place in 2012 to third place on the Lloyd’s 2013 Risk Index Report of concerns to global business. PwC’s Global State of Information Security Survey 2014 has found that while organisations are spending more on security, cyber criminals "have done even more". Detected security incidents had increased 25% over the previous year, while the average financial costs of incidents rose 18%, says PwC. This comes as respondents overall spent 51% more on security last year than the previous year. This, however, makes up only about 4% of their total IT spend. Prof von Solms, recently returned from a sabbatical at Oxford University’s Global Centre for Cyber Security Capacity Building, says the UK has established 11 centres for cyber skills development allied to universities. The Indian government is sponsoring the training of 500,000 "cyber warriors", while South Korea produces 5,000 cyber specialists a year, he says. "But in SA there is no national effort." Mr Loxton says South Africa has a serious skills crisis in this area. In his experience, police lack the expertise to deal with cybercrime and there are "very few prosecutors in SA who understand it".

QUESTION 6 IMPACTS OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY ON LINE POSTER
QUESTION 6 DIGITAL LAW
Potential impacts of digital technology on the society and students
References:
Potential impacts of digital technology on the society and students
Digital technology is used to describe the use of digital resources to effectively find, analyse, create media tools, programming tools and software applications.
(www.nzceta.co.nz/pages/digital_technologies.htm
Negative impacts of using digital technology
According to National School Boards Association, negative effects of technology in today's classroom are that it can take away valuable learning time, it can be overused, and it can also turn educational experiences into games for students. If the teacher and students are not experienced with technology in the classroom, valuable time is often wasted on technical troubles. In addition, the teacher faces the difficulty of having a class full of students who are all at different skill levels.
Positive impacts
- Research.If a school's library is outdated or lacking in a selection of titles, a student might find it difficult to compile the necessary research for an essay or research paper. As long as the school has a computer lab, students are able to use the Internet and digital encyclopedias to obtain the research they need
- Globalization. When schools in different parts of the state, country or world connect, students can "meet" their counterparts through video conferencing without leaving the classroom.
- Educational games.In younger grades, teachers expose children to computers through educational games. Instead of playing board games that focus on education, students can learn the basics of spelling, counting and other early educational lessons through computer games that make learning fun.(http://smallbusiness.chron.com/five-positive-effects-technology-education-31222.html)

Medicology, 2007, Digital Divide Simulator, [Online], Available: http://mediacology.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/dgital-divide.jpg [Accessed 24/04/08]
The digital divide causes a significant problem in many struggling parts of the world. “As of 2003, only seven percent of the world's 6.4 billion people have had access to the World Wide Web” [Ryder M, 2005]. The parts of the world that have a predominant amount of internet access is the western world, the United States, Europe and Northern Asia, where as access is more restricted in the poorer less developed parts of the world such as Africa, India and southern parts of Asia. These poorer nations are unable to afford the initial start up cost to be able to invest into technology to allow their nation to be able to have and maintain internet access. This puts these countries at a competitive and economic disadvantage. This is due to the fact that it impacts on society at many levels. By a country not having internet access, it means that schools are unable to teach IT skills and take advantage of the vast amount of information available on the web. With a lack of IT skills people from these countries are unable to compete at an international level.
In contrast the richer countries benefit from more highly trained people who will in turn enable higher economic growth. In urban areas more people seem to have internet access as opposed to rural areas causing yet another divide. Also countries that don’t have internet access are unable to carry out e-commerce and e-business putting their companies at a significant disadvantage with in the global market.

Q.2.2.RAPE-THE COLD HARD FACTS
Q.2.2 Rape – The Cold Hard Facts
Interpol has named South Africa
the “Rape Capital of the World”. According to the United Nations, a
woman or child is raped every 26 seconds in South Africa. These
statistics shine a very bad light on our beautiful country.
Something that is so easily prevented is corrupting our country and
forcing our community to live in fear.
Below, I have applied the solution fluency process to come up with pragmatic solutions to this problem.
Define the problem: South Africa
has one of the highest reported incidents of rape in the world. Rape
culture exists because society has accepted the degradation of women and
the hyper-sexually of men as the norm. (The
Nation, 2013)
Discover a solution: We need to
educate the nation on rape and that it is not okay. We need to ensure
that our legal system doesn’t blame the victim for rape but rather the
perpetrator for their actions. We need to teach
the nation what consent looks like, and encourage the media to engage
in conversations about anti-rape products. We need to stop promoting the
idea that all rapes are committed by strangers. Many rapes that have
taken place have been done so by a family member
or a close friend. Rape can take place anywhere, anytime, and anyone
could be a perpetrator or a victim. Finally, we need to enforce stricter
rape laws, which may decrease the number of rapes committed annually.
Dream up a process: The perfect
world would be one where no rapes could be committed, and the community
would be able to live freely without fear. The ideal situation would be
one where the number of rape incidents that
take place annually in South Africa could decrease drastically.
Design the plan of
action: Non-profit organisations that stand against rape can be called
upon to help with the problem of rape in South Africa. The South African
community can also be called upon to unite and to stand
against the rape culture which is plaguing South Africa.
Deliver the plan of action:
Non-profit organisations such as ‘Woman Against Rape’ can come together
to educate the South African community on rape, and place pressure on
the legal system to enforce stricter rape laws.
Non-profit organisations such as ‘Women Against Rape’ provide security
and comfort to rape victims, and encourage victims to speak out against
their perpetrators.
Debrief about results: Rape
culture in South Africa is thriving and the only way to end it is to
empower men and women to change their views on rape and to take a stand
against the senseless crimes that are being committed
everyday in our beloved country. We need to unite as a nation against
rape and rid our country of the corruption that has taken over.

QUESTION.3.1.DISCUSS INTERNET OF THINGS BY EXPLAINING THE CONCEPT AND HOW YOU ENVISION THIS TO IMPACT ON THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS AND SOCIETY.CREATE A POST TITLED THE INTERNET OF THINGS
INTERNET OF THINGS
A thing in the internet of things can be a person with a heart monitor implant, a farm animal with a biorchip transponder an automobile that has built in sensor to alert the driver when the tire pressure is low or any other natural or man made object that can be assigned an IP address and provided with the ability to transfer data over a network.
The internet of things has the potential to really shift the way we do things, think and learn.You get up and put on your glasses which give you an overview of the day ahead.Your phone sends you a message to warn you about your heart rate as your heart monitor has noted a slight irregularity.The heart monitor also made an appointment with your GP and sent your phone a reminder to take your medication.
With regard to business communications the trends are seeing on a greater focus of mobile and social media platforms, as well as capitalising on user generated content.Bloggers are fast becoming the medium in which companies will brand their product, emphasising relationship building with influential bloggers.An example of this type of communication trend is when Vodafone sponsored a fashion week and teamed up with blogger Poppy Dinsey,a fashion blogger.
