QUESTION 1
QUESTION 1
Q.1.1
1. Digital
Access: full electronic investment in the public arena.
Full electronic participation in
society, which includes helping to make sure everyone has equal access to
technology and understands the limitations and drawbacks when this access is
withheld.
Development customers
ought to realize that not everyone has a similar open entryways as to
advancement. Advancing toward equal mechanized rights and supporting electronic
get to is the starting phase of Digital Citizenship. Modernized dismissal makes
it difficult to create as an overall population logically using these devices.
Giving and develop access to advancement should be goal of each and every
propelled subject. Customers need to recollect that there are some that may
have limited get to, so unique resources ought to be given. Different examples
related to digital access are as follows: Sending of an email is another form of
digital access and the use of digital access in order to research information
online. (Pierce, 2015)
2. Digital
Commerce: electronic purchasing and offering of merchandise.
Technology customers need to understand that a
broad share of market economy is being done electronically. Honest to goodness
and true blue exchanges are going on, yet the buyer or merchant ought to think
about the issues related with it. The standard openness of Internet purchases
of toys, clothing, cars, sustenance, et cetera has ended up being commonplace
for a few customers. Meanwhile, a proportionate measure of stock and ventures
which are in battle with the laws or morals of a couple of countries are surfacing
(which may fuse works out, for instance, unlawful downloading, muck, and
wagering). Customers need to get some answers concerning how to be suitable
customers in another mechanized economy. Different examples related to commerce
are Kijiji, EBay and Amazon which are used to purchase products online. (Library, 2016)
3. Digital
Communication: electronic trade of data.
One of the
tremendous changes inside the mechanized miracle is a man's ability to talk
with different people. In the nineteenth century, sorts of correspondence were
compelled. In the 21st century, correspondence decisions have exploded to offer
a wide variety of choices (e.g., email, cell phones, messaging). The expanding
propelled communication decisions have changed everything because people can
keep in unfaltering communication with whatever other individual. Directly
everyone has the opportunity to pass on and cooperate with anyone from wherever
and at whatever time. Shockingly, various customers have not been told how to
settle on fitting decisions when stood up to with such an expansive number of
different propelled correspondence options. Different elements which are
related to communication are video conferencing, Emailing and texting. (Bailey, 2007)
4. Digital
Literacy: procedure of educating and finding out about innovation and the
utilization of innovation.
While schools
have gained incredible ground in the range of innovation implantation, much
stays to be finished. A re-established centre must be made on what advances
must be taught and in addition how it ought to be utilized. New advances are
discovering their way into the work put that are not being utilized as a part
of schools (e.g., Videoconferencing, internet sharing spaces, for example,
wikis). What's more, labourers in a wide range of occupations need prompt data
(in the nick of time data). This procedure requires refined looking and
preparing abilities (i.e., data proficiency). Learners must be taught how to
learn in a computerized society. As it were, learners must be taught to learn. Technology is
playing an increasing role in the workplace and professionals are making use of
videoconferencing services, as well as online data sharing spaces, to
facilitate efficiency and information exchange. Therefore, it is critical that
our society builds up digital literacy: as new technologies emerge, we must
learn how to use them. (Tricia, 2016)
5. Digital
Etiquette: electronic models of behaviour or technique.
Improvement
clients reliably watch this area as a champion among the most squashing issues
while managing Digital Citizenship. We see wrong lead when we see it, however
before individuals use improvement they don't learn moved respect (i.e.,
sensible direct). Different individuals feel cumbersome conversing with others
about their computerized lead. As often as possible tenets and headings are
made or the improvement is as of late precluded to stop awkward utilize. It is
insufficient to make gauges and strategy, we should instruct everybody to wind
up reliable electronic nationals in this new society. Other examples related to
Etiquette are appropriate conduct when online, not posting rude or harmful
comments and lastly not texting during dinner.
6. Digital
Law: electronic obligation regarding activities and deeds
Computerized
law manages the morals of innovation inside a general public. Unscrupulous use
shows itself in type of robbery and/or wrongdoing. Moral use shows itself
through submitting to the laws of society. Clients need to comprehend that
taking or making harm other individuals' work, personality, or property online
is a wrongdoing. There are sure decides of society that clients should know in
a moral society. These laws apply to any individual who works or plays on the
web. Hacking into others data, downloading unlawful music, counterfeiting,
making damaging worms, infections or making Trojan Horses, sending spam, or
taking anybody's recognize or property is exploitative. Examples are hacking
and also illegal downloading of music, documents, software and movies
7. Digital
Rights and Responsibilities: those flexibilities stretched out to everybody
in an advanced world.
In light of
current circumstances as in the American Constitution where there is a Bill of
Rights, there is a vital game plan of rights extended to each moved subject.
Moved nationals have the preferred standpoint to security, free talk and so on.
Basic electronic rights must be had a tendency to be, evaluated, and understood
in the induced world. Having the rights and freedom to use all types of digital
technology in an acceptable and appropriate manner. Different examples related
to digital rights and responsibility is using online resources appropriately
and using technology responsibly. (Ribble, 2008)
8. Digital
Health and Wellness: physical and mental prosperity in an advanced
innovation world.
The physical and psychological wellbeing of children in
the digital world is a critical issue that keeps many parents awake at
night. Childhood obesity is epidemic and a generation of children
sitting in front of a computer screen is certainly not helping matters. Parents
struggle with how to allow their children access to technology while protecting
them from online predators and cyberbullying. Fortunately, awareness is on
the increase as to how to protect children on both the physical and psychological
fronts. I reiterate the point that I made early on in this series of
packets - knowledge is power. It is the responsibility of parents and
educators to understand the world in which children live, play and study, and
they must guide them in being responsible digital citizens. (Brownwell, 2017)
Eye security,
dull uneasiness issue, and sound ergonomic practices are issues that ought to
be tended to in another creative world. Past the physical issues are those of
the mental issues that are ending up being more normal, for instance, Internet
propensity. Customers ought to be shown that there are inherent dangers of
development. Electronic Citizenship consolidates a general public where
development customers are instructed how to secure themselves through guideline
and get ready. (Ribble, 2007)
9. Digital
Security (self-assurance): electronic safeguards to ensure wellbeing.
Digital security is basically protecting yourself in the
digital world - protecting your identity, your data, your money. While
there are many publicized breaches of "secure" information
featured regularly on the news, for most of us, a few simple steps can
safeguard our cyber security. Backup data regularly. Create strong
passwords and change passwords regularly. Be aware of internet scams and
do not share information with anyone that you don't know. It is good to
have a healthy dose of skepticism to keep yourself and your information secure.
Different examples related to digital security is virus protection, backup of
data (Brownwell, 2017)
In any
overall population, there are individuals who take, decimate, or annoy
different people. The same is legitimate for the propelled amass. It is
inadequate to confide in various people in the gathering for our own particular
security. In our own particular homes, we put bolts on our doors and fire
cautions in our homes to give some level of confirmation. The same must be
legitimate for the propelled security. We require disease security,
fortifications of data, and surge control of our equipment. As careful
nationals, we ought to shield our information from outside qualities that may
realize intrusion or harm. (Ribble, 2007)
Q.1.2
According to Stanford stated "Digital
divide refers to the growing gap between the
underprivileged members of society, especially the poor, rural, elderly, and
handicapped portion of the population who do not have access to computers or
the internet; and the wealthy, middle-class, and young Americans living in
urban and suburban areas who have access". (Stanford, 2015)
Economic Divide is manifested in the
fact that some people can't afford to buy a computer. Although politicians
always talk about digital divide but still, its growing more irrelevant with
each passing day. Therefore it is very important to recognise that truly poor
developing countries will remain of average citizens for 20 years or more. (Nelson.J,
2006) .
Usability
Divide
is worse than the economic divide, the fact that technology remains so
complicated that many people couldn’t use a computer even if they got one for
free. Many others can use computers but don’t achieve the modern world benefits
because most of the available services are too difficult for them to
understand. Almost 40% of the population has lower literacy skills and yet few websites
follow the guidelines for writing for low literacy users. Lower literacy is the
web’s biggest accessibility problem, but no one cares about this massive user
group. (E, 2007)
Empowerment
Divide this is the
hard one, even if computers the computers and the internet were extraordinarily
easy to use, meaning not everybody would make full use of the opportunities
that such technology affords. Participation inequality, participation through
advanced searches has been a problem for most people.
(Nelson.J, 2006) .
Q.1.3
According to Chen stated that “Social
capital can be described as networks and value of relationships among people
who live and work in particular society; enabling that society to function
effectively. With the above explained, Social networks results in specific
benefits such as trust, information and co-operation”. Social Capital creates
value for people who are connected. The use of different social media platforms
such as Facebook, Uber results not only in the building of social capital but
also an increase in social and communication skills.
Feeling connected and respected
through engagement with others increase overall psychological wellbeing, while
general digital literacy grows. Social capital brings about reduction in
interaction costs. The expansion of market boundaries and the improved
efficiency of information flows, and social capital in businesses brings about
a massive competitive advantage, because products are sold and advertised
online. This means that the more goods are sold online the revenue of the
business will increase; therefore social capital does bring the difference in
business and people. (Chen.W, 2013)
According to the University of Minnesota
stated that “Social Capital is the value that comes from social networks, or
rather groupings of people which allow individuals to achieve things they couldn’t
on their own’’. Below are some of the ways in which social capital can benefit
communities (Minnesota, 2016)

QUESTION 2
Question 2
Q.2.1.
Solution Fluency means having
the capacity to think in an inventive way keeping in mind the end goal to have
the capacity to tackle issues, concocting a fitting arrangement, conveying the
arrangement and finally asses the procedure and the outcome (Crockett, 2016).
There are 6Ds that characterizes the arrangement familiarity handle, which
include:
Define: For us to have the capacity to take
care of an issue, first we should characterize what issue is it. You should
discover what should be tackled and give out the correct setting of the issue.
Discover: In this stage, we investigate,
accumulate data and break down what we precisely think about this issue. This
will have the capacity to give us an appropriate setting of the issue and we
will have the capacity to find it especially simpler.
Dream: Here we have an expectation or if
nothing else wish that the arrangements that we have for our issues will work
out the way we need them to. This is about working with our creative energy,
representation and extrapolation.
Design: According to (Crockett, 2016) this
is the workshop stage. The working of our answer begins being formed. This
includes drafting our answers on a paper.
Deliver: This stage comprise of two stages,
the deliver and distribute whereby in create we make a move for finishing our
item and in distribute we display the arrangement that is proposed,
Debrief: this is the last stage where we
begin to claim our learning. We will look on what we have fulfilled and what
should be possible to enhance comparative circumstance later on.
Malamulele is
a township outside Giyani, Limpopo. There are many graduates who are there
sitting at home with capabilities and doing nothing consequently the business
rate is low. The individuals who are sufficiently blessed can go outside the
area and get utilized. There are organizations there however the issue is that
they utilize individuals who have a specific years of experience and it makes
it troublesome for the graduates to get utilized. As indicated by them, the
experience is required more than the capability.
Thus, for my
situation when I should handle all the six phases of solution fluency with
terms of the unemployment rate in my general vicinity and I will utilize them
all. In the Define stage, I should define what issue is it, what truly causes
unemployment I will likewise research on what should be tackled so I can
concoct a legitimate setting of the issue. In order to solve unemployment issue
I strongly suggest the issue of black empowerment where people can start
businesses of their own this can help decrease the rate of unemployment and
produces jobs.
The discover
stage I should direct an examination, gather all the data so as to find out
about the unemployment in my general vicinity. This will bring about a
legitimate setting of the unemployment in my general vicinity and I will have
the capacity to find it particularly simpler. By finding out the number of all
educated candidates we can be able to render a workshop whereby people can be
educated about other ways to generate money for themselves.
I will
utilize the dream stage, where I will have an expectation and wish that the
arrangements that I have for the unemployment rate will work out the way I need
them to. My creative energy, perception and extrapolation in this stage should
be more dynamic. In the design stage the arrangements of my answer begins to be
formed out. This includes drafting my answers on a printed copy or a soft copy.
Then deliver
stage I should create by making a move for finishing my item and distribute
what is available to the arrangement that is being proposed. I will approach
different companies and government departments asking for funding for the
campaign to help solve the issue of unemployment, the revenue accumulated will
help assist those that are interested in starting their own businesses to
begin. Ultimately is the question organize whereby I will begin to possess up
on what I have learnt. I will look on what I have achieved and what I can
accomplish more to enhance comparative circumstance later on.
Q.2.2 Digital footprints can be
construed as trails that digital citizens leave online. Do you
Think that digital footprints could
become a problem?
A few people don't understand that what they say and do online can be seen by others. Governors, Senators, police, instructors, and other open authorities and workers have lost their employments because of their dangerous online conduct. Understudies have been commenced sports groups and level out of school for posting pictures of themselves doing or saying wrong things on the web. Some youngsters have even been captured and needed to enrol as sex guilty parties for sharing improper pictures over the Internet by means of PC and content informing. To make matters worse, one might not get into college or get a job as desired because of inappropriate pictures and video, posted online. Furthermore, once you post something online, it's difficult, if not impossible to get it back! Even if you take offensive material down, there are ways for companies to retrieve it.
Q.2.3 Provide
a few tips on how one can manage their digital footprint?
1. Protecting personal

QUESTION 3
Question 3
Things
and how it will affect businesses in South Africa.
According to Bidgoli stated that “Internet of
things refers to the physical objects that are connected to the internet and
therefore, to all the other physical objects”. Like a smart refrigerator that
signals when milk consumption period has expired. This means that by 2020, over
50 billion objects will be connected to the internet. There will be smart
devices that are uniquely identified through IP addresses, RFIDs, QR codes or
censors. The technology behind the internet of everything will facilitate,
among other things, automated inventory systems in the retail industry,
automated programmable appliances in domestic households, and road and bridge
systems that will be able to detect a problem as soon as it occurs and notify
the authorities. . (Bidgoli, 2016,P:156-159)
Consumers and businesses will give money by
preserving energy when they control their room temperature onsite or remotely
through smart devices, while companies will save time and money on labour due
to automation. The internet of things could help solve many 21st
–century special problem, such as hunger, water pollution, and adverse climate
change and increasing energy cost. Most specific benefits could include people
being able to take more effective preventive measures regarding their health by
wearing sensor-embedded clothing that measures vital signs, the resulting data
can be securely and quickly transmitted to doctors. . (Bidgoli, 2016,P:156-159)
Today
many smart objects are currently on the market, such as: fifty's Bluetooth
basketball, which can sense dribble force and shot angle, Nike Hyper dunk plus
basketball shoes, which can tell the users how fast they are running and how
high they are jumping; and under Armour Armour shirt, which can tell the
users heart rate lung capacity. At this present moment these objects cannot be
connected to one another, the disadvantaged part about this is that if all
three of them were on one individual’s body, they would not be aware of each
other’s existence. Therefore the internet of things should change this by
creating connectivity and communication.
. (Bidgoli, 2016,P:156-159)
Individuals,
businesses, and governments around the globe will benefit from IoE technology,
security, privacy, and reliability will play a major role in the success of
this technology, as it does for any network. There needs to be close
coordination and communication among these three key players to protect the
privacy and integrity of information that is being shared on the global
network. . (Bidgoli,
2016,P:162-163)
