Abstract:With the rise of information technology, an increasing proportion of public African archives are being digitized and made accessible on the internet. The same is being done to a certain extent with private archives too. As much as the new technologies are raising enthusiasm, they have prompted discussion among researchers and archivists, on subjects ranging from matters of intellectual property to sovereignty and governance. Digital archiving disrupts archival norms and practices, opening up a field of reflection relatively little explored by historians. This article therefore seeks to reflect on the digital turn of African archives as a subject for study in its own right, located at the crossroads of political and economic interests.

The Law

Systems of intellectual property law date back many centuries and play a very important role in the information technology field. The main forms of intellectual property law are patents, copyright and trade marks. All play important roles and are considered in this section of the book. Patents and copyright have been applied in an IT context from the early days of the computer whilst trade marks have come to assume more significance with the commercialization of the Internet and its use by major manufacturers who typically own many trade marks developed for use in the course of their activities in the physical environment. As with many areas, the connection between the real and virtual words is not exact. The application of the law of copyright to software has seldom been in doubt. It is clear that the unauthorized copying of all of a work is unlawful. What is not clear is the extent of the protection. The famous scientist Isaac Newton is quoted as saying “If I have seen further, it is because I stood on the shoulders of giants”. Most later works build to some extent on their predecessors and there is a difficult dividing line between fair and unfair use of such works. Somewhat different issues apply in relation to patents – a branch of the law which offers the strongest protection but does require that works be innovative and produce a technical effect – that they should do something. This can be difficult to assess in respect of very fast-moving technologies.

The Impact

Abstract. Background: Research has already acknowledged the importance of the Internet in suicide prevention as search engines such as Google are increasingly used in seeking both helpful and harmful suicide-related information. Aims: We aimed to assess the impact of a highly publicized suicide by a Hollywood actor on suicide-related online information seeking. Method: We tested the impact of the highly publicized suicide of Robin Williams on volumes of suicide-related search queries. Results: Both harmful and helpful search terms increased immediately after the actor's suicide, with a substantial jump of harmful queries. Limitations: The study has limitations (e.g., possible validity threats of the query share measure, use of ambiguous search terms). Conclusion: Online suicide prevention efforts should try to increase online users' awareness of and motivation to seek help, for which Google's own helpline box could play an even more crucial role in the future.

Data Technology industry has been utilizing the customary social databases for around 40 years. Be that as it may, in the latest years, there was a generous transformation in the IT business as far as business applications. Remain solitary applications have been supplanted with electronic applications, conferred servers with different proper servers and committed stockpiling with framework stockpiling. Lower expense, adaptability, the model of pay-as-you-go are the fundamental reasons, which caused the conveyed processing are transformed into reality. This is a standout amongst the hugest upsets in Information Technology, after the development of the Internet. Cloud databases, Big Table, Sherpa, and SimpleDB are getting the opportunity to be more natural to groups. They featured the hindrances of current social databases as far as convenience, adaptability, and provisioning. Cloud databases are basically utilized for data raised applications, for example, stockpiling and mining of gigantic information or business information. These applications are adaptable and multipurpose in nature. Various esteem based data organization applications, such as managing an account, online reservation, e-exchange and stock organization, and so on are delivered. Databases with the help of these sorts of uses need to incorporate four essential highlights: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (ACID), in spite of the fact that utilizing these databases isn't basic for utilizing as a part of the cloud. The objective of this paper is to discover the points of interest and disservices of databases generally utilized in cloud frameworks and to survey the difficulties in creating cloud databases
