WHAT SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IDENTITY THEFT?

There should be an increase in awareness because a lot of people are not aware of identity theft. People should be informed on how the thieves, who you should report to and how to prevent identity theft. More awareness means more preparation to deal with the problem when it presents itself. People should protect themselves by making sure personal information and financial records are kept in a secure place and should not be given to just everyone. Financial documents should be shredded before they are discarded so that whoever gets hold of it can not use the information because they cannot see it. People should also avoid giving away personal details like credit card numbers or social security numbers especially on emails they do not understand without first contacting the organization or company that supposedly sent the email. If these personal records get into the wrong hands risks of having that information used for a variety of unethical and illegal means is relatively high. Law enforcements on the other hand should also improve or help in responding to complaints and trying to find the criminals.

ARE WORD PROCESSING PROGRAMS MAKING STUDENTS LAZY?

Word processing programs makes life convinient for students for instance when writing essays. These programs help in fixing spellings, grammar and sometimes puntuation, automatically format documents and helps in correct referencing but it does not write the essays fo the students because the students still have to research and formulate their ideas into a body of text. Word processing programs do not make students lazy but rather more productive because not much time is spent on learning spellings or punctuation because these programs assist in the task. On the other hand some educators believe that these programs make students lazy in that they do not put any effort for they know word processing programs will do everything for them from sums to correcting spellings, grammar and formating docments automatically. As a student myself l believe word processing programs do not make us lazy but makes us more productive.

ARE EMPLOYERS RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPUTER-RELATED REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURIES

Employers are not responsible in that all they do is they assign work to be done and because the employee obviously wants food on the table and a roof over the head has to do it and the computer just happens to be the fastest and most reliable tool to do it but maybe not the only option. The employer does not detect the way one uses the computer for example the way one sits might affect ones eyesight and this clearly is not the employers fault. There is also the fact that, technology has introduced the Ergonomic keyboard which ensures and incorporates comfort, efficiency, and safety in the design of workplace thus helping in reducing the disorders or injuries associated with the use of the computer. If a workplace is not designed ergonomically the risk of the above mentioned health problems is inevitable hence we can blame the employers for this. The workload given to the employee by the employer determines the extent of the wrist muscles strained this however is a difficult thing to conclude on who i to blame but it might be probably right to say the employer because sometimes the employer give a short time thus the employee has to rush finishing in fear of risking his or her job. The bottom line is that employers should ensure an ergonomically friendly environment to ensure the health of the workers is not at risk.

HOW MUCH TECHNOLOGY SHOULD BE PROVIDED TO STUDENT AND TEACHERS

Technology provided should be enough to improve accessibility of information during research for both the student and the teacher. It should also be enough to ensure convenience for example students can type their assignments instead of writing thus making learning and doing assignments more convenient. The technology should also be enough to improve the computer literacy in that it must not be too much especially for people who are new to computers in both the teachers and the students. The technology must not be too much to an extent that both the student and the teacher do not put any effort for instance when given a topic question that needs research some students tend to just Google information without exactly researching or putting information in coherent order thus making their work below standard when truth be told they could have done better if proper research had been done. The technology should not be too much to an extent that both students and teachers concentration and focus should be destructed. From the above it is plain to suggest that technology though it is good in a variety of ways has several mishaps of its own.
