When I heard “computer news”, I thought that it was not relevant to my life. However, I was surprised at the news about computers recently. It was about my computer, Sony.
One month ago, the president of Sony announced the following message, “ the batteries of our laptop computers have possibility of ignition”. When I hear the news on the Internet, I was so surprised because I used my computer at that time. Therefore, I searched Sony’s homepage. It said that the following types of batteries have to be changed for new one. In addition, it said that if you use this now, please stop to use now. It took a lot of courage for me to check my laptop.
Fortunately, mine is fine, so I was so I felt secure of that. After that the cause of the defect on batteries was founded (I cannot write it because it is to difficult for me) Anyway, this was the interesting computer news for me.

What is "Net Neutrality " ?
The term of Net Neutrality is difficult for me to understand, but it means fair to everyone who use Internet.
In other words, Internet providers should not give their contents and services better treatment than other servises through their network.
The idea of Net Neutrality is to deal justice to all.
In America, this problem was debated in the Senate in 2006. It is because if Net Neutrality is used properly, that means what we use or watch on the Internet is controlled by Internet providers. Control of information is hugely powerful. (for example, Chinese government controlled the Internet because of political reasons.)
In America, there are two opinions. One is that Net Neutrality is important because people cannot decide rightly without fair information. The other says that, there is not free with Net Neutrality. This discussion continue now.

computer gift for my grand mother
If I have money, I would buy a web camera to my grand mother. It is because I can talk her face to face.
Now, my grand mother lives in Ishikawa prefecture, so I cannot go there many times. However, if she can have a web camera, it is easy for me to see her face.
Also, I would give a guide book of computer for her. My grand mother has a computer, but she does not use well. She just usse Internet to find recipes. Therefore I want her to use a computer more than before.
There are many books about computers in book stores; however, almost all books are difficult for her to read. Every word in the book is too small, so if I find the book with big words, I would buy it for her.

What is Social Engineering?
There are three different meaning of social engineering.
In the field of computer security, definition of social engineering is a way to get people’s important information.
A social engineer uses the phones or Internet to trick people to obtain information. The major example of social engineering attack is to use e-mail. However, this mail is not a normal mail. The mail has payload, in other words, computer virus. The problem is that people cannot realize the virus. Therefore, when people receive e-mail, they click, and attack start easily. There is another attack that tricks people. To request password and credit card information is the most effective and simplest way. People have to put this information to set up their account on the Internet, but, in fact, administrator of computer system does not always need this. Social engineering is the best way for computer hackers to get information by simple ways. so, everyone, be carful!!!!!
