Section 6

Hacking: The unauthorized access of data. People do this to make money from the data. Having a firewall will help protect you from hackers however it wont guarantee it. Passwords and user I.D's can protect you from hacking also. Hacking does good for the hacker as they can make money from the info they gain but not good for the victim(s)

Virus: It's a program/software that corrupts and slows down a system and/or the data. Viruses do no good for anybody at all. Anti-virus scans the computer for known files with viruses.However it still allows viruses onto your computer. It gets rid of them once you've scanned the computer using "todays" list.

Employment: Computer/robots=unemployment. They're more efficient,faster and capable of doing things compared to humans. The lack of workers with appropriate IT skills means there must be re-skilling. More robots are being used in factories with hands on work. The movement of money is done by robots. However some banks prefer being face to face with the client.

Hacking vs. Virus'

Hacking : Unauthorized Access is what it is.
                                The way to prevent it is with a firewall.

Virus: A virus is a software program that maliciously corrupts your data and systems.
Anti-Virus is a software program that uses lists of known viruses. This list is updated every time the program is updated. However it doesn't stop virus' getting onto your computer, it uses it's list to then find it then quarantine it so it cannot run.


Employment

ROBOTS REPLACE HUMANS

But the company will need programmers and web designers. However some people still want the face to face personal contact, e.g banks.
