The Internet is becoming an essential communication tool for North American businesses, but to date there has been little research on the expected impacts of using the Internet in a business context. This paper will examine theories of communications, information systems, and organizations, in order to understand what existing research can offer to businesses venturing onto the Internet. It will note lessons that can be learned from previous adoptions of new technologies, and identify instances where existing theory does not inform business use of the Internet and its associated new communication technologies1.

During the last ten years there has been a growth of Information Systems and related Internet technology. In recent years the Internet has grown from a solely military/academic network to one that can be used by business or individuals. In the years since the first World Wide Web (WWW) applications were developed, there has been an explosion in the global use of the Internet. With this growth has come an increasing usage of the medium by criminal and terrorist groups.This chapter will explain why and how cyber-terrorists attack these services. The aims of the chapter are to: describe the background of cyber-terrorism; describe what cyber-terrorism is; describe the vulnerabilities of electronic commerce to cyber-terrorism; discuss the future of electronic commerce and cyber-terrorism.

Use Of The Internet

The 2001 General Election generated considerable interest and also much criticism of politicians' use of the Internet. Via content analysis, search engines and database material, this article examines candidates' and local constituency parties' on-line activity in three areas: first, the extent of Internet use by candidates and local parties—who and how many candidates had live websites for the election?; second, the pattern of on-line activity at the local level—where were parties/candidates on-line?; and third, what were candidates doing on-line—did candidates experiment with interactivity, or use the new media as another top-down communication tool? The survey indicates that use of the Internet was patchy and websites often acted as little more than static on-line leaflets. Moreover, the overall impact of the Internet on electoral outcomes was minimal and use of the technology by itself is unlikely to herald the coming of e-democracy. However, we also argue that some of the criticism levelled at parties is misplaced and that there are good reasons why parties have so far behaved cautiously.

The integration of technology in education is generally assumed to aid learning. The primary purpose of this study was to capture the complexity of the process of incorporating the use of new technologies in an advanced foreign language (FL) course. The study provides a detailed description of the activity in which the participants engaged to acquire cultural knowledge through the use of the Internet. It also examines how the instructional context advanced learning. Findings of this study seem to suggest that learning can indeed be assisted by computers when the use of these tools is supported by appropriate theories of learning and careful orchestration of the curriculum.

Purpose of research. The aim of the study is to conduct statistical research and assess the level of digitalization of the economy of the European Union and some non-EU countries. The focus is on assessing the level, dynamics and directions of information and communication technologies development in the European economy on the example of the international index of digital economy and society (I-DESI). The strongest and weakest countries were identified, and the impact of components (sub-indexes) of the I-DESI index on GDP was studied.Materials and methods. For this study, the digital economy and society index (DESI – Digital Economy and Society Index), which is a composite measure that studies the digital indicators of Europe, developed by DG CONNECT (the European Commission) to provide an evidence-based contribution to the assessment of digital development in the EU as a whole, is considered as an assessment of the level of digitalization. Based on this index, the international digital economy and society index (I-DESI) was developed in 2018, which reflects and expands the EU-28 digital economy and society index. Based on the sub-indexes of this index, a multidimensional classification of European countries was carried out. The main components method identifies the main factors that were used to identify their impact on the level of GDP in various clusters. The Statistica package is used for information processing and analysis.Results. This study examined the values of sub-indexes of the I-DESI index in five dimensions: communication, digital skills, citizens' use of the Internet, integration of business technologies, and digital public services. According to the hierarchical classification based on these sub-indexes, 2 groups of countries were identified. Using the k-means method, the features of each cluster are identified. Comparisons of cluster analysis results by sub-indexes were made based on data from 2016 and 2013. Using the main components method, five main factors were identified out of twenty indicators characterizing the I-DESI index and their influence on the level of GDP in various clusters was revealed. The analysis of twenty indicators of the I-DESI 2018 index, applied in the method of main components, by the directions of the index itself, the economy in the context of GDP and the social sphere (life of society) through the HDI (human development index) in various clusters was also carried out.Conclusion. According to the research, two groups of countries were identified by the level of digitalization. The first group in 2016 included twenty two countries with high indicators of digital development of the economy and society. All the countries of the first cluster are developed countries that have a significant share of services in their economy, as well as investments in high-tech products. The second cluster is represented by twenty three countries. This cluster is mainly represented by developing countries, which still have a large share of production in GDP. The level of GDP in the first cluster countries with a high I-DESI index was mainly influenced by factors that characterize fixed broadband and digital public services. Two groups of factors also influenced the GDP level of the second cluster countries. One group of factors combined variables that characterize new technologies in business, the other group – the use of the Internet by the population. The study of the development of the digital economy has allowed us to conclude that in general, the trend of rapid spread of modern technologies is developing around the world. This suggests that society in the context of the state and the individual needs to be mobile and ready to adopt new technologies in advance.

Use Of The Internet

<p>The Internet has rapidly become the world’s most prevalent form of communication. It can be accessed twenty-four hours a day from virtually any location in the world from a myriad of technologically savvy devices. Internet users can keep up to date with world events, watch movies, listen to music, interact with government agencies, analyse business trends, undertake research and maintain contact with people anywhere. The Internet also provides the ability for users to shop ‘online’ with virtually any product or service supplier anywhere in the world. This has created concerns regarding the use of personal information obtained through the medium of the Internet. An individual’s right to privacy is a right enshrined in legislation and through tort law. With the uptake of technology and the burgeoning use of the Internet the subject of online privacy has become a complex issue for law and policy makers both in New Zealand and internationally. The aim of this paper is to look at the online shopper or consumer and how their information could be protected. This paper looks at the key areas of privacy legislation, the storage of data and the rise of new technologies including ‘cloud’ computing and suggests that the complexity of online privacy is such that a different approach to access and use of personal information of online shoppers may be required. The rate of technology change, the enormity of the data capture situation and the international accessibility of the Internet are all factors that create an almost impossible situation for ensuring consumer privacy so this paper proposes that the onus moves away from the law and policy makers and put into the hands of the users of the Internet.</p>

Plagiarism is the act of presenting as an idea or work of another author without mentioning it as a source. This practice has been common in academia, especially with the ease offered by the use of the internet. This study aims to verify how students of the Information Systems course understand plagiarism and what possible actions to reduce this practice in academic work. The research was carried out through semi-structured questionnaires, using research and descriptive analysis. The results showed that students do not have full knowledge of plagiarism, not being able to identify specific types of plagiarism, the correct use of citations and the need to place direct and indirect citations of the sources used in their texts.

Today we are moving into an era of “intangible” business processes, where business communication and transactions can be conducted anywhere, anytime, and with a simple click of a mouse. With the speedy amplification and expansion of technology, information systems have become a normal component of our everyday life. The phenomenal growth of the internet has led to the emergence of a great number of new technologies and one of the most important ones is the ability to conduct business over the internet. E-commerce is currently changing the way business is conducted by assisting business progressions and transactions with very few organizations debating whether or not to participate in it. E-commerce software is the engine behind the scenes of an online store, making it possible to easily manage inventory, add or remove products, calculate taxes, and everything else required to manage a website and fulfill orders.
