- Business
These days companies promote themselves on digital societies but the responsibilities are that they must be clear/transparent about their products and services to their customers
Education
As students we need to have an ethical way of performing tasks. Unacceptable conduct or actions as a digital citizen could also be plagiarism which is a serious offense that could ruin future endeavors weather in an academic or working field. We right to surf the net but the responsibility to adhere to good conduct and ethics is something we should have at the back of our minds
Responsibilities in society
The way we use the internet shouldn’t pollute our society. There’s so many ways that it could ruin our or have an effect on societies and cultures. There is more to your personal society then meets the eye. Your digital society is also impacted by what you share or post,ultimately your beliefs and actions. The way we behave on our digital society must be thoughtful and considerate for all those who are your “friends or followers” on social media
QUESTION 7
The Top 5 cybersecurity risks in 2015 are:
- Ransomware,
- The Internet of Things
- Cyber-espionage
- Increase in cyber theft and
- Insecure passwords
(CNBC, 2015)
Ransomware infects a computer and restricts the users access to it, a ransom is paid in order for user to be able to use their computer.
The Internet of Things is when devices are connected to the internet which increase the risk of personal details being obtained.
Cyber-espionage is when information is obtained through the internet for use by the government.
Cyber theft is the stealing of financial information through the internet, such as credit card details.
Insecure passwords are passwords which are easily obtainable based on the users tastes or preferences and whether the same password is used several times.
Users are constantly providing financial institutions with confidential, personal, information and so are put at risk when exchanging this information.
Users allow hackers to obtain these details by replying to emails which are not from the financial institutions itself. These emails are almost identical to the ones received form financial institutions and so users can be easily fooled.
A way to prevent this from happening is to always check that the email received has a valid email address. This will allow the user to determine whether the email is legitimate or not.
Another method used by hackers is creating a website that looks almost identical to the real one. User may believe that this website is legitimate and therefore enter personal details. Users can check the URL of the website to ensure that the website is indeed legitimate.
Having a strong password is important as it protects most of our confidential information. Users often use unsuitable passwords that can be easily determined based on the consumers tastes and preferences. Users often reuse passwords for several accounts which puts them at risk.
Hackers can send emails pretending ask personal questions while posing as a financial institution. This can be avoided by checking the email address of the email received.
Not only can users be at risk on the internet but when receiving phone callsas well. People may ask personal questions in order to determine their potential password.
This can be easily avoided by not giving out personal information over the phone. If an institution needs information they will often tell you to go in and resolve the issue.
Users should always keep on guard when online and always check what links they are clicking on and what files they are downloading. In order to protect your self, users are advised to download anti-virus software in order to protect your computer and confidential information.

Q1.1
As digital citizens, it is our responsibility to develop and continually enhance our technological knowledge. We should support and encourage the acquisition of technological knowledge by others. We should model the positive and proactive use of technology for good causes, personal and professional growth and education.
FIVE INFLUENCES OF DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP
Q1.1
1. Access
One important tenant of digital citizenship is that access to technology should be available to all. This concept reflects challenges that are present in our non-digital society. Most all citizens believe, in theory, that everyone should have access to education, health care, the right to worship, etc., but the reality of providing these to all citizens of the world is virtually impossible. It is at the root of wars, political divisions and religious fanaticism. It is unreasonable to think that everyone can receive equal access to technology, but it is a noble goal towards which to aspire. Digital citizens should continue to lobby for more digital access, in more locations, so that more people can benefit from it.

2. Commerce
If the sales figures for Black Monday are any indication, we as 
a society are fully embracing digital commerce. Digital citizenship encourages people to embrace digital commerce and continue to strive for safe and secure utilization of shopping, banking, and engaging in other commercial transactions in technical venues.

Digital communication is another element of Digital Citizenship that we seem to be embracing wholeheartedly. Digital communication includes emailing, texting, instant messaging, utilizing cell phones, etc. As digital communication continues to grow, it is important that we not forget how to communicate face to face. If we lose our humanity, technology will be a poor replacement. Utilize digital channels of communication to enhance your ability to communicate, but do not allow it to replace your ability to communicate.
4. Literacy
As digital citizens, it is our responsibility to develop and continually enhance our technological knowledge. We should support and encourage the acquisition of technological knowledge by others. We should model the positive and proactive use of technology for good causes, personal and professional growth and education.5. Etiquette
This is a real weakness among many users of today's technology. Picture the guy who spends the entire meal in a resturant on his cell phone talking so loudly that he disrupts everyone around him, or the peer that sits across the table from you in an important meeting constantly checking emails or playing Angry Birds. Perhaps you can't teach old dogs new tricks, and it is too late to instill rules of etiquette onto these rude digital citizens. However, digital etiquette should be an integral part of the education of our youth.
6. Law
As citizens of our city, state and country, we are governed by certain laws. As digital citizens there are also laws that apply to our behavior and interaction. There should be no stealing, no plagiarism, no abuse of others. Many intellectual information laws are violated in this new digital age, i.e. copyright infringement and trademark abuse. The digital world is so enormous that it is difficult to police. Therefore, we digital citizens must be vigilant in reporting illegal behavior, if we see it, and we personally should only engage in behavior that is above reproach.
7. Rights and Responsibilities
In the words o
f Spider Man's uncle, "With great power comes great responsibility." The global and instantaneous nature of our digital age puts enormous power into the hands of everyday citizens. In order to keep the right to digital access, we must strive to always use it in responsible ways. Sadly, when there is abuse of these rights, the solution is often to withdraw all access (for example, a few students abuse the privilege of having a cell phone at school and thus, all students are banned from using cell phones - even if for an educational endeavor).

Health and Wellness
The physical and psychological well being of children in the digital world is a critical issue that keeps many parents awake at night. Childhood obesity is epidemic and a generation of children sitting in front of a computer screen is certainly not helping matters. Parents struggle with how to allow their children access to technology while protecting them from online predators and cyberbullying. Fortunately, awareness is on the increase as to how to protect children on both the physical and psychological fronts. I reiterate the point that I made early on in this series of packets - knowledge is power. It is the responsibility of parents and educators to understand the world in which children live, play and study, and they must guide them in being responsible digital citizens.
9. Security
Digital security is basically protecting yourself in the digital world - protecting your identity, your data, your money, etc. While there are many publicized breaches of "secure" information featured regularly on the news, for most of us, a few simple steps can safeguard our cyber security. Backup data regularly. Create strong passwords and change passwords regularly. Be aware of internet scams and do not share information with anyone that you don't know. It is good to have a healthy dose of skepticism to keep yourself and your information security
Five Influences of Digital Citizenship
1- Solution Fluency
" Solution Fluency is the ability to think creatively to solve problems in real time by clearly defining the problem, designing an appropriate solution, delivering the solution and then evaluating the process and the outcome."
2-Creativity Fluency
Creative Fluency is the process by which artistic proficiency adds meaning through design, art, and storytelling. It is about using innovative design to add value to the function of a product though its form
"Collaboration Fluency is team working proficiency that has reached the unconscious ability to work cooperatively with virtual and real partners in an online environment to solve problems and create original products".

" There are two components of Media Fluency. Firstly, the ability to look analytically at any communication to interpret the real message, and evaluate the efficacy of the chosen medium. Secondly, to create original communications by aligning the message and audience though the most appropriate and effective medium."
Information Fluency is the ability to unconsciously and intuitively interpret information in all forms and formats in order to extract the essential knowledge, authenticate it, and perceive its meaning and significance. Ribble, M. 2011)
QUESTION 1
1.2 Social capital can be defined as the networks of relationship among people who live and work in a particular society ,enabling that society to function effectively.
digital divide is defined as "the socioeconomic and other disparities between those people who have opportunity and skills enabling them too benefit from digital resource ,especial the internet and those who do not have opportunity and skills."(dictionary, 2015)
some are not very fortunate and may have very little or even no access to technology at all. this create divide in society to those who have and those who do not have which can cause friction in society . digital divide can impact on peoples ability to leverage their social capital ,which may affect their ability to access data, information and and knowledge that could assist them furthering themselves economically ,socially etc .
digital citizens must remember that they are others who are less fortunate and might not have access to technology .digital citizens must make a conscious effort to include all members of society by helping to provide and expand access to technology.
