1.What is cyber-bullying?
Cyber-bullying is a lot like normal bullying only it gets around much faster and it could possibly be even nastier online than in person.
2.What has MySpace done about it?
MySpace has released a guide for school administrators to report false or offensive profiles or cyber-bullying. They even have a e-mail and number for parents to reach them at.
3.Has a bully ever demand you send them money via PayPal? All kidding aside, have you ever known someone as a victim so cyber-bullying?
I don't know anyone who has been cyber-bullied. There are times where nasty things are said to one another in commments on someone elses page on myspace, but that's only online shit talking, nothing more.
4.Toward the end of the aricle various plans are mentioned. What's the best approach in your opinion?
In my opinion I think the best thing to do would be to shut down all sites such as MySpace, Facebook,PayPal etc. It seems to only cause people problems in their lives to begin with. Sure at first it seems like such an awesome idea to have a way to talk to a million different people from all over the world, but what's the point for it really? It's addicting, and comsumes times that we could be using to study.
5.Read through the comments on slashdot. Should schools worry about cyber-bullying at all?
I don't think schools should really be worried about cyber-bullying until it becomes a very large problem. The government,parents, and school administrators can't stop anyone using myspace, IM, or e-mail. It's been too long and it's really too late to change the direction things are going in. I think we should focus on actual bullying before even starting to worry about cyber-bullying.
1.What is it all about?
This article is about street-fighting robot challenges being announced. How robots are going to be used in warfare, and fight just like human soilders.
2.Do you agree with the direction this technology is taking?
I agree with the direction this technology is taking. For many reasons too, it saves more live of those being sent out to war and fight. Although it would take many years to create a robot who would be able to know who and who not to shoot, would be very difficult. Only time will tell us how thigns will go.
