 2. Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life - Be ethical in your engagement and know that breaking the law is bad netiquette.
 3. Know where you are in cyberspace - The netiquette required will differ from domain to domain. If you are in a forum of experts, your netiquette should reflect respect.

 4. Respect other people’s time and bandwidth - When sharing files or documents, bear in mind the audience’s bandwidth.

A team of scientists lead by professor Lee Berger fro wits university believe they have discovered an entirely new species of human relative .this fact alone makes the discovery remarkable the Homo naledi fossil was found in the rising star Caves in the Cradle of human kind , in a virtually unnecessary underground chamber.(Ewn.co.za). scientists believe that they may be hundreds of or even thousand more fossilized remains still waiting to be discovered at the site. H.naledi is smaller and much older than the average human with curved fingers and smaller skull. however the species is very similar to humankind which makes this discovery significant. scientists believe that H.naledi may have internationally put the bodies of its dead together in the chamber , which is seen as a ritualized behavior unique to humans . this is imported to note that scientists are able to use this information to place Homo naledi is, which makes it difficult to slot the species into the tree of life.

Everybody has rights, paying little mind to our disparities. 3. We have the privilege to live in flexibility and wellbeing. 4. You have rights regardless of where you go.

Flexibility of expression. - Everybody has the privilege to make up their own particular personalities, think what they need, say what they think and to impart their thoughts to others over the web.

Q.5.1 Digital Rights and Responsibilities

We, the country of South Africa call upon Communist Party rulers to grant there people with digital rights and responsibilities . These digital rights and responsibilities will allow all citizens of communist countries to gain the freedom and benefits of unregulated internet access. The advantages of open-based internet access is easier access into online media as well as the implementation of copy right laws so all online materials are safely monitored. The lack of DRM rights, decrease all rights to freedom of speech and censorship within communist countries and are left to listen to their rulers. Communist rulers are seen to listen to their society which is why we are asking for these digital rights to be implemented. Please sign this petition to encourage communist party rulers to implement digital rights and responsibilities.

Q.4 Inappropriate Digital Conduct

Bullying and/or harassment Bulling someone online with offensive or threatening comments, limiting groups from interacting and posting photographs or videos that are offensive (cyber bullying). Breach of Confidentiality Unauthorized use of the company's private information (accounts of profits and loses of the company, details of clients, trade secrets and so on). Negative comments When an employee posts negative comments towards other employees. This could lose the company employees and customers if the public saw behavior like this. (These generally include personal opinions). Bring the organization in disrepute When using inappropriate conduct online, a huge audience could access it in a short period. If your inappropriate behavior can be taken back to the company then it may damage the reputation of yourself and the reputation of the company. The effects on society With such a technological age it is very important to be careful what employees post online. A huge audience can be reached within a few seconds. If an employee had to post an inappropriate video online, it could have hundreds of views in just a few minutes and could initially damage the company's reputation. Positively it can be used to gain customers in various ways and negatively lose customers in one easy step. (People always remember what you have done wrong over what you have done right.

Q3.2 Aspects Af Intelligence

> Linguistic Intelligence: This contains words and language. People with this type of intelligence often look to work as lawyers, writers, journalists and TV and Radio presenters. There can’t be enough technology in the world that can take a place of one of these positions, because it involves creativity and involved decision making. There is a thought process that goes into this form of work that a machine cannot simply do. > Logical intelligence: This intelligence group consists of logical thinkers, they detect patterns and analyze problems and preform mathematical calculations. They like dealing with numbers and logic. These people take jobs such as engineers, computer experts, accountants, statisticians, analysts, traders and bankers. Many of these positions are starting to or already been taken over by machines or technology > Musical intelligence: This supports people with a musical ability. They can recognize tones and rhythmic patterns and they understand the relationship between sound and feeling. Usually these type of people become musicians, singers, composers, DJ's and music producers. There are forms of technology that can already do the work of these individuals. > Interpersonal Intelligence: People who possess Interpersonal Intelligence are aware of other people’s feelings. They have the skill to relate to others or interpret their behavior or communications and can understand the relationship between people and their situations. These people mostly become therapists, HR professionals, clergy, psychologists, teachers and doctors. There are no machines that can do this sort of work and they do not possess emotions and evaluate situations as a human would.

Q.3.1 The Internet of things

It is an idea that all physical objects are in a network and that many of these physical objects contains electronics of some sorts. Cars have navigation systems and sensors, buildings have fingerprint scanners and metal detectors. Pets have microchips in them to identify the owners. There are millions of examples where physical objects have electronics in them now where they did not before. People have heart monitors inside them to keep close check on your heart, your lights and curtains and alarm systems can all be controlled by a press of a button on your phone. I envision that the rate in which technology is increasingly being embedded into our homes, work, schools and everyday life is not going to stop. Technology mainly electronics are going to be so fixed into our lives that at some point civilization would not be able to cope without it and in a business sense I see there being more people being unemployed because machines are taking over their jobs. There will be no need for meetings in person as most of the meetings would be over a video call or phone call. But yet there are certain jobs that cannot be taken over and certain skills that machines or just anyone can do. Creative people are very sought after yet once they have done their job then they are no longer needed

Q2.2 Rape-The Cold Hard Facts.

South Africa being named the “rape capital” of the world by Interpol, shows full right that there is a undeniable problem in South Africa. Although not taking any seriousness away from other crimes, rape is a very serious criminal activity, yet many rapists are getting the minimum sentence for rape, and many are getting away with it. A main reason for shortened sentences not only with rape but with many other charges, is because of the over-crowed jails in South Africa, correctional services create a high prisoner turn over because the number of incoming prisoners are much higher than the outgoing. There are many solutions to solve this problem that South Africa is facing, many of the solutions are restricted or yet limited to the resources and budget funding. A very good solution would be to create more jail space, build more prisons to accommodate more prisoners. Yet South Africa does not have the resources for that solution. Next solution to follow is to make prison life harder than it is currently, by different factors. Or make the punishment stricter the jail time longer and incorporate community service and fines into the punishment. This is a physical and emotional strain on a person and that could be a deterrent to a rapist if he feared the consequences

Q 1.2 Social Capital

How does the Digital Divide impact on social capital, what are the ramifications thereof? Define Social Capital. •It is the collective value of all social networks (who people know) and the inclinations that arise from these networks to do things for each other (‘norms of reciprocity’). Discussing the correlation between divide and social capital. •The first issue surrounding access is that of the ability to access, in general, data and information through the use of digital devices. This divide is often associated with socio-economic factors, but like the gap between developed countries and developing countries, the digital divide is also associated with geo-demographic factors – developing vs developed countries. The difference between data, information and knowledge is in the processing. Essentially, data is a collection of unprocessed facts and figures, whilst information is the result of processing that data. Knowledge is then gained from the interpretation of the information in the context of existing knowledge and understanding.
