Unit 1 Lab Questions A Magna Carta for the web 1. What is an open and neutral internet? When an internet is neutral, it means that the Internet service providers have to treat all of the Internet communications equally, regardless of the user, content, website, platform, application, type of equipment, source address, destination address, or method of communication. It also means that you can talk to anybody, regardless of where you live or who you are 2. Why does internet privacy matter? Internet privacy matters because if you have internet privacy, you do not have to worry about getting hacked or spied on. 3. What is on your personal list for a Magna Carta for the web?

What do you think is more important, our privacy or national security? Explain your answer. I think that privacy is more important because I do not want anybody knowing my personal information except for me.

The Internet Could Crash, We Need a Plan B

1. This talk was given in 2013. Considering how quickly technology changes, do you think this talk is still applicable to life and technology today? Why or why not? No, I do not think that this talk would still be applicable to technology today because technology has probably changed a lot since then.

2. In general, how is the culture of the internet different today than it was in 1982? Use at least one specific example from the video. Back then, everybody only took what they needed. For example, the guy could’ve registered many cool names as his domain names, but he only did one because it was all he needed, 3. How do you think that your life would be affected if the Internet were to crash? Explain. If the internet crashed, my life would be tremendously affected. Being a teenager in 2020, internet is a big part of my life. I need it for school, social media, and video games. 4. According to Hillis, “if somebody really wanted to attack the United States or Western civilization these days, they’re not going to do it with tanks.” How would they do it and what is an example that he gives? In your opinion, is this scarier than an attack with tanks? Why or why not? They would do it as a cyber-attack. The example he gives is the attack that happened on the Iranian nuclear facility. There was a factory of industrial machines. It didn't think of itself as being on the Internet. It thought of itself as being disconnected from the Internet, but it was possible for somebody to smuggle a USB drive in there, or something like that, and software got in there that causes the centrifuges, in that case, to actually destroy themselves. Now that same kind of software could destroy an oil refinery or a pharmaceutical factory or a semiconductor plant. And so there's a lot worries about cyberattacks and defenses against

those. I do not think that this scarier than attack with a tank because tanks are war machines made to kill and I am more scared of those....
