Critical Issues in Internet UsageInformation overloadOffensive material – fraudulent sitesPhishing sitesCyberbullyingSpamAuthenticationAddictionPlagiarismInternet Legal and Ethical Issues

• Some Internet users may develop an emotional attachment to on-line friends and activities they create on their computer screens.

• Internet users may enjoy aspects of the Internet that allow them to meet, socialize, and exchange ideas through the use of chat rooms, social networking websites, or "virtual communities."

Addiction

• What are the warning signs of Internet addiction?• Preoccupation with the Internet. (Thoughts about previous on-line

activity or anticipation of the next on-line session.)• Use of the Internet in increasing amounts of time in order to

achieve satisfaction.• Repeated, unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back or stop Internet

use.• Feelings of restlessness, moodiness, depression, or irritability when

attempting to cut down use of the Internet.• On-line longer than originally intended.• Jeopardized or risked loss of significant relationships, job,

educational or career opportunities because of Internet use.• Lies to family members, therapists, or others to conceal the extent

of involvement with the Internet.• Use of the Internet is a way to escape from problems or to relieve a

dysphoric mood. (e.g. Feelings of hopelessness, guilt, anxiety, depression.)

• Many persons who attempt to quit their Internet use experience withdrawal including: anger, depression, relief, mood swings, anxiety, fear, irritability, sadness, loneliness, boredom, restlessness, procrastination, and upset stomach.

• Being addicted to the Internet can also cause physical discomfort or medical problems such as: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, dry eyes, backaches, severe headaches, eating irregularities, (such as skipping meals), failure to attend to personal hygiene, and sleep disturbance.

• All of the following are considered plagiarism:• turning in someone else's work as your own• copying words or ideas from someone else without

giving credit• failing to put a quotation in quotation marks• giving incorrect information about the source of a

quotation• changing words but copying the sentence structure of a

source without giving credit• copying so many words or ideas from a source that it

makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not (see our section on "fair use" rules)

Plagiarism

• Copying media (especially images) from other websites to paste them into your own papers or websites.

• Making a video using footage from others’ videos or using copyrighted music as part of the soundtrack.

• Performing another person’s copyrighted music (i.e., playing a cover).

• Composing a piece of music that borrows heavily from another composition.

• A photograph or scan of a copyrighted image (for example: using a photograph of a book cover to represent that book on one’s website)

• Recording audio or video in which copyrighted music or video is playing in the background.

• Re-creating a visual work in the same medium. (for example: shooting a photograph that uses the same composition and subject matter as someone else’s photograph)

• Re-creating a visual work in a different medium (for example: making a painting that closely resembles another person’s photograph).

• Re-mixing or altering copyrighted images, video or audio, even if done so in an original way.
