Along with the new technology and means of living comes new ways which people are able to abuse the system. "Digital Security refers to ensuring the ability to use digital information systems without interference, description, unauthorized access or data collection." ( Security in-a-Box, [sa]). Digital Security can involve protecting any personal information online and whoever commit cyber crime are generally known as hackers.
Hackers are able to exploit certain security flaws in the coding in order to benefit themselves or for personal satisfaction. Hackers create systems such as:

* Roottits which is able to remotely control your device and thus can prove an incredibly useful tool to hackers.

Question3 Digital Communication and fluencies (POE)
The social economy
- Social Technologies is defined as applying the used technologies for specific purposes especially social ones: to ease social procedures via social software and social hardware which might include the use of computers and information technology for governmental procedures.
Risk of social technologies for individuals, corparate and communities.
- The rism of social technologies for indivisuals corporate and communities is that South Africa will be faced with the increase in unemployment increased loneliness and also the world description weapons and will also faced conpetancy, risk of social technologies to communicate using Facebook people should be careful as to what they post online on their profiles. The risk of this is that when people get your personal information they might use it to stalk the person which may cause harm to the person.
Benefits of social technologies
- For individuals to benefit they will be able to send messages and by doing this they will be quickly connected. The individual will not lose out on any communication
- The space that they share allows cooperate to co-create content , coodinate joint projects and tasks. People work best and in full potential when they are in groups, sharing ideologies and allowing people build on each others ideas. The main idea is to make corporate communicate simultaneously to a large evidence and it is not expensive to communicate with customers.
- The benefit for communities is that communication has improved as modern technology has broadened the channels used in communication which can be video chat or electronic mail so this means th a SA communities are able to communicate with friends and family located far away and can even Skype which is easy and people wll communicate better.

Question2 Digital litaracy and information fluency (POE)
Homo Naledi is an extict species of him one, first described in 2015 and assigned by the anthropologist to the genus Homo.
Information fluency
Ask
- Who was Homo Naledi?
- What is so important about this discovery?
Acquire
-Information was acquired at d following wbsite:
http://wen.co.za/Features /Naledi.
Analyze
A team of anthropologists led by Professor Lee Berger undertook the Rising Star Expedition and they had made history by discovering and salvaging fossils of at least 15 individuals from the Dinaledi Chamber. This was an evolutionary discovery since a new species of hominines called Homo Naledi was found in the dark remote chamber. Homo Naledi have distinct physical features similar to that of human being such as:
* Curved Fingers
* Small Skulls
* Slender bodies
* Ape-like shoulders
Apply
-According to the findings highlighted in the analysis Homo Naledi could be our common ancestor therefore this suggests that it could have had human characteristics both physical and mental as well as similar behavioural traits. The Dinaledi Chamber could have been used as a burial ground where the newfound species could have performed burial rituals since none of the fossils had marks not did they attend the Chamber at the same time.
Assess
- Research was conducted thoroughly and the information was taken from a very good source.
