6 facts from Did You Know 4.0 Video:
1. Well over 1,000,000 books are published worldwide every year.
2. A Google Book Search scanner can digitize 1,000 pages every hour.
3. 95% of all songs downloaded last year weren't paid for.
4. Ang Chuang Yang of Singapore: He typed a Guinness Book of World Records approved 160 character text on his cell phone in 41.52 seconds.
5. Twitter played an unprecedented role in sharing information during the 2009 Iranian presidential elections.
6. 47% of broadcast television viewers say they'd pay less of ad-less programming.
Devise a system for regulating the Internet:
1. The issues with images, words and ideas from around the world that are not regulated are that many people or even businesses can claim these as their own. For example if a major gossip site such as http://www.eonline.com/ were to use gossip, images, videos etc. from other minor sites there would be plagiarism issues and the minor site would need to regulate their content in order to prevent this in the future.
2. The owner of the website would be responsible for the regulation of their content as the Internet is not controlled by a sole organisation.
3. There are existing bodies who on their own site regulate the content according to their audience.
4. In my opinion there should be a new organisation as there has been an increase in the exposure of adult content to younger children and the fact that social networking sites need to be more secure for minors as there have been cases where they have been subjected to pedophiles without realising it.
5. They could use the information provided by internet service providers to show what people have been accessing.
6. The disadvantages of Internet regulation are that people won't be able to access many blogs that express their views on either current affairs or any other important topic and the so called 'freedom of expression' that we have on the internet will be lost.
