Analysis: For comparison, the one with the most common results is the Wikipedia, SNH.edu, searchdatacenter,
Rassmussen, where all of the search engines have shown these results. AltaVista was bought by yahoo.com so it shows
the same results as the Yahoo search engine. Bing, which is owned by Microsoft has the same webpage search results as
Yahoo. Google was the only search engine with unique webpages from the other. Additionally, the google search engine
has a highlighted definition of the information technology that is easier for the user to look for the meaning of information
technology.
1. Read about “StarWars Kid” and “The Bus Uncle” on Wikipedia, then debate the following proposition: “It is
wrong to post a photo or video of someone else on the Internet without their permission.”
Because of its extreme popularity among the youth, the Internet and mobile phone have become a platform for
cyberbullying
It would be rude to post a video from anyone especially when it can be seen by a lot of people. We all know that people
from the internet can be cruel with their comments because of the sense of anonymity among the netizens. People have a
huge moral disconnect with the things that they do online that they might not do face to face because they would probably
take it to heart. They don’t care if they hurt the person’s feelings because they are not seeing the reaction of the people
involved in the video physically. Ghyslain Raza is one among the first victims of cyberbullying. A video of himself swinging a
golf ball retriever imitating a Jedi Knight from Star Wars. One among his classmates posted the video online without him
knowing and began to go viral all over the internet. Because of the video, people started attacking him and told him to
commit suicide.
Much has been known on the impact of cyberbullying and there is ample evidence the hurtful words that we say online
creates a huge impact to the person that we are bullying. Furthermore, studies have found that online victimization can
result in elevated daily levels of anxiety. An expert found that the victims of electronic bullying are left feeling lonely,
insecure and humiliated.
As netizens, we must be careful on what we say online and put ourselves on the shoes of the people who are in these
videos about what they are going to feel if we are going to comment mean things. It is not bad to criticize someone
especially if it is for the purpose of improving them but this is not going to be the same if we are going to humiliate them. It is
okay to correct, but not to laugh at their mistakes because as humans, we too commit mistakes. I would also like to add that
before commenting anything, we must see the full picture first. Just like with the “Bus Uncle” he may have his reasons on
why he scolded the man sitting at his back. Or he was just simply in a bad situation at that time so he got hotheaded. A
single video cannot define anyone. This serves as a lesson for us that, with the presence of the internet and the virtual
world, we are more entitled to take more moral responsibility, regardless if we are seeing the people in the internet.
