This week, Mr Cheong asked us to post our views about the next lesson - Social Web /IP/ Blog or Websites. I was only told to post my view about IP so I will not talk about the rest.
A video showed us about copyright infringement and why it is wrong. Then we were requested to post our views about copyright, trademarks and others that go under IP. The video is below here.
The video let me know that copy is not right, and that is unfair to the inventor if someone takes the source and calls it off as his own. We should respect the person who created the source and ask for permission, credit the source and maybe even pay for the source. Copyright infringement is wrong and people will face the consequences if he fails to obey the law.
An interesting thing I learnt is that whatever you use should purely be used for personal use. Another interesting thing I learnt is that if you want to photocopy part of a book, no more that 10% (in cases where 1 chapter is more than 10%) or 1 chapter can be photocopied, and even then, it should be used for personal use, again.

First IS Lesson - The Internet & WWW
This Tuesday, I had an IS (Info-comm Studies) lesson on the Internet & WWW. Over at the Computer Lab, the class watched a video before starting the lesson.
The first part of the lesson was about the history of the Internet. I was amazed at how the Internet has changed rapidly over the years - from the number of host nodes to how we connect to the Internet. It strongly reflects on how we are modernizing at such a fast rate.
The next part was about how the Internet works. The Internet uses the World Wide Web , or WWW for short, which consists of many smaller components, such as downloading, URL, links, search engines and much more. It easily lets us browse the Internet for information we are looking for.
The later part is about other Internet services, such as E-mail, E-commerce, Web Publishing, Instant Messaging and many more. Now I know about the processes behind these common things we take for granted.
The lesson was wrapped up with the golden rule of netiquette and a summary of the whole lesson. The golden rule: "Treat others as you would like them to treat you." This meaningful sentence tells us that we have been misusing the Internet to harass and hurt fellow netizen's feelings and we should not do so before the Internet becomes a battlefield for cyber war.
The video I viewed.
