Medical Thinking About Internet Addiction

After reading a few articles I found out that modern doctors and researchers are struggling with the actual term, "Internet Addiction", and that people aren't necessarily addicted to the Internet itself, but some of its applications e.g. online gaming, viewing pornography. The Internet is just the medium that people use, hence the confusion. They compared it to gambling, where if the same confusion was applied it'd be known as "Casino Addiction", because casinos are the medium/vessel that gambling addicts use.

IT Engineers' Views on Surveillance Cameras

IT engineers are expressing some concerns about the proliferation of surveillance cameras around the globe. They argue that it may lead to authoritarian control by governments who watch every move of every citizen. They also are concerned that with more and more cameras hitting the streets, the chance of technology failure also increases, with sensitive information found by the cameras having every chance to fall into the wrong hands. Hackers are also a threat, and all it takes is for a personal information database to be hacked and millions of people are compromised.

The process of finding the books and journals for this week's task was fairly simple. Typing the key terms into the Griffith Library search bar and separating them with "AND" really narrowed down the options and made it a lot easier to find suitable information. There are multiple ways of finding the information you are looking for, but it would be helpful to at least know what you are looking for, and know how to make your search more specific. 

Thanks again everyone!
