South Korea Hacked

In Seoul  South Korea a malware has been released shutting down 32,000 computers and servers while also shutting down three TV networks and three banks causing a disruptive in business negotiations.  They found a computer in Seoul that was responsible for this but it can take weeks or even several months for the investigations to finish.  It is possible that North Korea is behind the attack as they are training "Cyber-Warriors" that are trained abroad in Russia and China.  They are trained to become hackers and they are all students from North Korea.  There has been no proof yet that North Korea was behind the attack but even if they were behind the attack there is no point for South Korea to retaliate against North Korea as it would be useless and will only cause more problems.   I think there is a possibility that North Korea will attack soon with their armies if they are attacking via online.  I do not think that hacking should be a thing as the only thing that comes out of hacking is chaos if everyone online was true then the internet would be trusted and there would be close to no frauds at all.

Major Concepts

  • North Korea wants to attack South Korea and The United States of America
  • Computers, Servers, TV shows, and banks have been hacked already in Seoul
  • North Korea is training Cyber warriors that are trained to hack online
Potential Strengths/Advantages
  • People are getting to build more protective websites and this causes our technology knowledge to grow more and more.  The more knowledge we have about technology the better our world can become so that we can advance in humanity.
Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages
  • People will get mad and there will be chaos if there are people hacking because hacking causes problems and it will benefit no one and nothing so there is no reason to hack unless you want to cause chaos.Any country can start a world war and there is a very high possibility that North Korea will start the Third World War
Discussion Questions
  • How do you feel about hacking?
  • Is it possible for everyone in the world to hack each other?

Tips From Successful Billionaires

Everyone dreams to become a billionaire but how do you actually become one?  Successful billionaires put a lot of time and effort into their mental thoughts.  A small error can cause them to lose all their money and go bankrupt.  Billionaires have a lot of stress on their mind too.  I always thought the more money you have the more stress you have to handle and the amount of money you have defines how much your mental capacity is because lots of people go mad because of money.  Money was created to solve problems yet it has destroyed everyone's lives but it's one of the only ways we know how to keep the system of society going.  Billionaires agree that every day in your life you have to view it as it was your last and make sure you are doing what you want to do and what you think is right or it's not a life your living it's a scripted live play for everyone on the world to watch.

Major Concepts

  • Billionaires view their daily life very closely so that they know what they are doing.
  • How big their salary is not always on their mind because they have to focus on making choices and decisions

The Internet In a Nutshell

There are more than 2 billion people that use the internet that is about 1/3 of the whole world's population.  There are so many people using the internet that it has become a part of people's lives.  There are many things to do on the internet ranging from doing work and being productive or to playing around wasting time. On the internet we can share ideas from people all over the world giving us more knowledge about other people's cultures.  The internet is now a daily requirement for school as it gives us more information that we can find in our own textbooks.  It is much easier to find information on the internet that to go to a library and look it up for yourself.  Looking up information on the internet only takes seconds using your preferred search engine.

Major Concepts

  • There are so many people using the internet today it's unbelievable.
  • The internet has become part of our daily routine.  We use it every single day and the internet has only been around for a few decades yet everybody is using it.
  • The internet is extremely useful for almost everything a person needs to know.
Potential Strength/Advantages
  • Everyone needs to use the internet, not being able to use the internet or unaware of the internet is looked down upon in our society.
Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages
  • More and more people everyday use the internet unproductively which has caused our generation of children to become more strange in a way.  The people who do know the benefits of life and the internet will most likely become leaders or work at a very high rank as the people with ignorance will stay at the bottom until realization.
Discussion Questions
  • Will we every stop using the internet?
  • If we do stop using the internet what will the next big thing be?
