Session 2- Cyber Crap
John was checking his email one day, and he saw this particular one, which was sent to him from someone he did not know. The subject of the email sounded urgent, so instead of deleting it, John clicked on it to read it.
Subject: 81 feared dead from swine flu in MexicoI sent this email to you with a very heavy heart. I’m sure you have heard of the recent swine flu outbreak. Novel influenza A (H1N1) is a new flu virus of swine origin that was first detected in April, 2009. The virus is infecting people and is spreading from person-to-person, and has sparked a growing outbreak of illness in the United States with an increasing number of cases being reported internationally as well.
To date, A/H1N1 flu has killed 337 people in 121 nations and regions and the number of the total infected exceeded 80,000, a top official of the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday. There are already 1003 cases in Singapore, a country known for its stringent health measures.Just FYI, in 1918, there was flu pandemic -commonly known as the Spanish flu- which was caused by an unusually severe and deadly Influenza A virus strain of subtype H1N1, claimed the lives of 50-100 million people.
Researchers are speculating if the one that is ongoing will have that high number of death tolls, that is, if the pandemic persists. I’ve attached a file on how to protect yourself during this period of outbreak. I sincerely urged you to take a look at it, so that you can take the said preventive measures. You are not only protecting yourself, but also the people around you.My cousin, who lives in Mexico, introduced me to a type of medicine that is said to work effectively. I’ve also given you the link in the file attachment.
I strongly encourage you to purchase the medicine, as I have also purchased it myself.Yours sincerely,Max WilkertinNow, what should John do? Should he open the file attachment? Should he buy the medicine?
I feel that everyone knows that the two medicines that work against H1N1 are Tamiflu and Relenza. Although there is a cure, this is totally crap , John should not even touch the thing. This is just cyber crap. John should delete this message.

Session 5B
Session 5B -Pornography
With constant bombardment of such images from the media and the internet,what do you think can be done to protect your mind from being filled with such materials?
I think we had to practice a lot of self-control. We also can suscribe to maybe some filitering service so that we do not accidentally click on those pop ups and pollute our mind. Also, we must know what type of information we are looking at.

Watch the following clip linked below.

What do you think the clip is trying to share?
I think that its trying to share that social networking sites let everyone see your profile, including strangers. Your profile may contains your personal infos, for example, name, age, gender, mobile phone number, etc. The person reading your profile may be as innocent as a busy, or a person with bad intentions. So we must take precautions when we post our personal information online.
