Intro Neuromancer is a science fiction novel written by William Gibson in 1984. It takes place in a future cyberpunk genre. In the novel, the author imagines a digital environment just like the widely known Matrix, called cyberspace; where people casually get in and out of, and in the main character’s case, commit crimes. Some people have lost, what we may call, their ‘humanity’ as they have integrated advanced mechanical and electronic parts into their bodies. In the case of the main character, he also had a body part that allowed him to enter the cyberspace, so that he could steal data from huge companies. However, he lost that part, and some functionality of his brain when he tried to steal from the company he was working for, but now he might have a chance to get back into his old job... The Language Personally, I believe I can understand 90% of what someone is saying, or someone is trying to say in a paper, book, novel etc. unless the person uses older English terms, slan...

Security Situation In Turkey My home country; Turkey, is one of the developing countries in the world. Turkey is still in the process of migrating to e-ID cards which follow the EU standard, and once the migration is over, lots of other online services will be available to all, just like here in Estonia. Right now, there is an online service called e-Government, which lets you do a query for almost anything; from lawsuits, to your educational past. All users are notified about cyber attacks, scenarios etc. via email once they register for the system with their e-ID. The whole system is said to be secure, with firewall, HTTPS, etc., however the accuracy of that statement is questionable. All Turkish men are required to serve in the military for 6 months. Unless they are studying at an university. Unless they have some physical, medical, psychological handicap, other citizenship, or they are currently studying; they are required to serve in the military once they are 19 years ol...

The first rules of online communication, known as net etiquette or netiquette, date back to mailing that is early and later Usenet. While the rules may vary by places, there are some guidelines that are simple are valid for most of the Internet and most of the time - as illustrated by the book of Netiquette by Virginia Shea, first published already in 1995. One of her "Ten Commandments" is: "Be forgiving of other people's mistakes". We are all human, and nobody is perfect. Everybody can make mistakes at some point of their lives. Even if that mistake causes a disaster, we should keep in mind that mistakes are unintentional, and "What is done, is done.", nobody can roll back time, and fix their mistakes. At a workplace, a colleague might make a mistake that might cause your company to lose millions. You, and other colleagues may get angry with him/her, and he/she may even get fired for that specific mistake. However, before getting angry, acc...

In our world, the fate of technological devices and software is defined by their ergonomics and usability. The easier a device or software is to use, the more buyers,  or users it will have. In the past ten years, we have seen two extreme examples of technological things, one was a disaster, the other was a blessing: Microsoft Windows 8, and USB-C and Thunderbolt 3. Microsoft Windows 8 In 2012, Microsoft, one of the biggest software companies in the world, released the new version of their operating system following the previous version; Windows 7. After one of the most successful, easy to use operating system, Windows 7 and XP, the user interface was completely different, the system had a lot of bugs, compatibility issues etc. People had a difficult time trying to get used to the new Star Page, programs menu, gestures. Some people tried using it for a longer time, only to revert back to previous versions of Windows, with the user interface they were used to. Windows 8 cause...
