Access to information and communication
Security
NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF ICT
Reduced personal interaction and physical activity
Job loss or increase in unemployment
Security
an act of theft in which a person copies another person’s ideas, words, or writings, etc. and pass them off as his or her own.
PLAGIARISM
an action in which one deals with a person dishonesty, unethically, and dishonorably, in order to take advantage of the latter’s works and/or resources.
EXPLOITATION
can either be an insult, slur, or slander. Either written or spoken or even through actions, it may lead to libel if the accusation is not true and without any piece of evidence.
