Sociotechnical systems play an integral role in life today; their presence is always growing as civilization continues to create and to innovate technology. A set of values influences each sociotechnical system, whether that is through embodying or omitting those values.

The integration of society with technology has created countless sociotechnical systems, each one
“We are #Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget #ExpectUs #MillionMaskMarch #OpVendetta #UK”. That message is from the many tweets off of Twitter that the group Anonymous. That message has been one of their many slogans. In Anonymous’ case how do you have an all-encompassing slogan when you have no structure or hierarchy? When you are just a loosely aligned group of internet users how do you become an international group that is an example of an alienated counter-culture

Technology, Privacy and Credit Card Fraud The advancement of technology over the years appeared to be the greatest thing known to mankind. With the Internet, the world is at one's finger tips and just about anything can be accessed using it. This is not necessarily a good thing, with crimes like creidt card fraud going around.

violent acts used for coercion and directed at the government, civilian population, or any portion of either for the purpose achieving either a political or a socially relevant goal (Schmalleger & Pittaro, 2009). However, with the advent of the internet acts of coercion and intimidation can be accomplished without the use of force or violence (Schmalleger & Pittaro, 2009; Stohl, 2007).

the increasing trend towards cyber security. Unfortunately the Australia Government is lacking in the presence of this growing phenomenon. Recently cyber crimes including attacks from Anonymous and Wiki-leaks prove that no network is completely secure.

The good news is that with an ounce of prevention and some good common sense, you are less likely to fall victim to these threats.

Invasion of Privacy on the Internet Invasion of privacy is a serious issue concerning the Internet, as e-mails can be read if not encrypted, and cookies can track a user and store personal information. Lack of privacy policies and employee monitoring threatens security also. Individuals should have the right to protect themselves as much as possible from privacy invasion and shouldn't have to give in to lowered standards of safety being pursued by the government. Encryption is the best
the currency itself. It’s illegal to physically transport more than $9999 across national borders. Any amount of $10,000 or more must be regulated by a central bank. With cryptocurrency being based on cryptography and transactions being made on the internet, governments will have a hard time regulating these new movements of money. Foreign workers from impoverished nations will now be able send money back home and stand to benefit enormously by avoiding exorbitant taxes and fees. The extra wealth flowing

In 2009, a group of people under the name “Satoshi Nakamoto” created the Bitcoin, a form of digital currency that can be used to conduct transactions on the internet. In the past six months, there has been a sudden spur of popularity for the Bitcoin, which increased the coin’s net worth, as well as stock prices for investors. Its stocks started accumulating
Identity theft and cyberstalking are two exceedingly serious and utterly prevalent crimes that pose a great risk to today's society. "Identity theft is the fastest-growing crime in the United States. In 2013, someone became a victim of identity fraud every two minutes, totaling 13.1 million people" (Shin). "Almost 1.5 million people in the United States alone suffer from cyberstalking at least once every single year" (Gaille). Identity theft is when "someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person's
and software. Hardware encompasses the devices used, whilst the software is the operating technology that the hardware requires to function. Examples of modern communication technologies include mobile phones, computer networks, laptops and the internet. Technologies are constantly being updated or replaced by more advanced devices or software. This is occurring at such speed that what is seen as cutting edge, goes to old fashioned and then obsolete, in a short period of time. Currently we are
Most innovations have are two sides, the good side and the bad side and the cell phone is no exception. Many people find it difficult to believe that there was a time that cell phones did not exist. Letters back then were used to pass messages across before the telephones were introduced. Initially, telephones were used only to call people, who would receive the call only if they were near the receiver. Then the cell phones were introduced. They could receive or make calls and text messages to most
As the internet has evolved it is now a part of many people’s daily lives and with that, many could not function or conduct their daily business or lives without it. It is impressive that we can now communicate and even see someone all the way across the country with just a few clicks of a mouse. But as technology changes and progresses seemingly for the good, many will always find ways to exploit technology and use it with the intent of committing crime, turning a positive tool into a negative one

This process uses a peer-to-peer computer network made up of its users’ machines. To use Bitcoin, you will be added to the anonymous structure of BitTorrent. This is currently the most popular peer to peer (P2P) network. BitTorrent will underpin the user to a parallel of systems such as a “file-sharing system, and Skype, an audio, video and chat service” (CCN.LA, 2014). Bitcoins

Some of these goals include expanding into greater markets for businesses and shopping online for consumers. These online transactions now encompass much more than the traditional online banking.
