Cryptocurrency is undoubtedly the buzzword of the century. You can’t help but hear about it; every time you fire up a search engine or a news site on the Internet, there it is. And the one thing you really can’t have avoided seeing is the phenomenal way that some cryptocurrencies are rising in price. Before we dive further into cryptocurrency and how to trade with them, it is important for you to know something - although the prices are rising at a significantly fast rate, it is vital that you look at the whole picture. If you do, you will see that they can also drop at a huge rate.

Why should you learn hacking? First, to protect yourself. Cyber criminals are everywhere, stealing people’s sensitive data, infecting computers with ransomware, and gaining access to bank accounts. Once you’re aware of the techniques they use, you’ll be able to defend yourself. Second, you can become a “white hat hacker”, a cyber security expert who helps companies find vulnerabilities in their software. You can earn tens of thousands of dollars for discovering a single bug.

Before the advent off the wireless technology era, the existing communication technologies were primarily powered by wired technology. From the telephone to the fax machine, communication was not possible without a physical connection between the communication device and the source of the power of the device. For instance, there had to be a connection between a wired telephone and the dial board for communication to be possible. Just as with every other wired device, wireless communication has successfully displaced wired communication.

Technological advances have benefited our world in immeasurable ways, but there is an ominous flip side: our technology can be turned against us. Hackers can activate baby monitors to spy on families, thieves are analyzing social media posts to plot home invasions, and stalkers are exploiting the GPS on smart phones to track their victims’ every move. We all know today’s criminals can steal identities, drain online bank accounts, and wipe out computer servers, but that’s just the beginning.

Buying groceries, tracking our health, finding a date: whatever we want to do, odds are that we can now do it online. But few of us ask how all these digital products are designed, or why. It's time we change that. Many of the services we rely on are full of oversights, biases, and downright ethical nightmares. Chatbots that harass women. Signup forms that fail anyone who's not straight. Social media sites that send peppy messages about dead relatives. Algorithms that put more black people behind bars.

It's time we change that. Many of the services we rely on are full of oversights, biases, and downright ethical nightmares. Chatbots that harass women. Signup forms that fail anyone who's not straight. Social media sites that send peppy messages about dead relatives. Algorithms that put more black people behind bars.
