Information technology

Project description
Use the words in “” and Makeup two stories
Story 1:
1. Before the electronic era information was usually directly communicated and not recorded, much of the information you received was “hearsay”. As you know, this is an untrustworthy form of information because it’s so prone to distortion.
2. An “end-user agreement” creates a contract between you and a software company
3. One type of end-user agreement is “Opt in”. This means that you are not part of a program or activity until you say you want to be. This requires extra effort on the user’s part to say they want to be part of an agreement.
4. If an end-user agreement is “opt out” you are part of a program or activity it until you say you don’t want to be. It requires extra effort to decide not to participate.
5. The “Eye in the Sky” refers to satellites, looking down on populations and recording their actions.
6. The “Data Eye in the Sky” refers to large scale data aggregation that governments like our own are now performing. Governments ask what is going on and what should we do about it?

Story 2
1. We will use the term “cyber security” to stand in for the various other terms people use for the idea of protecting computers from hackers.
2. Officially, the term is cracked, but most people say a system was “hacked” to mean it was compromised.
3. The term “social engineering” means compromising information by getting someone with access to let you in.
4. The term “denial of service” means sending so many requests for information to a server that it crashes under the load.
5. The idea of a “bot net” is that hackers install software on your computer that allows them to in some way control it.
6. The term “phishing” describes the situation where a hacker disguises themselves as a legitimate organization to get you to enter information they want.
7. In “cross site scripting” a hacker uploads code that sends your info to their site instead where you think it is going.
8. In “SQL injection” a hacker inserts a query into a site’s code to get it to reveal data from the system’s database.
9. The term for malicious, but minor acts of defamation on the web is “Trolling”

Read over the vocabulary words one more time
Compose and type in a story that shows you really understand each of the words
Do not only define these words, instead make a story by using these words. Be creative but be sure what you type shows you understand (not just can type) the words
Use all the vocabulary words
Type them exactly as they are typed above (same pluralization, capitalization, tense, etc.)
