Internet downsides....
ARTICLE 1
Another internet sex crime about how a 31-year old engineer preyed on 31 victims over three years.
- useful stats about 2012 survey which unveiled that Singaporean youth spend 5.5 hours online daily.
-the danger of keeping silence
-the notion of building trust online (before the sexual assault)....contrast this with last year's 'A' level compre where writer says relationships online not built of trust
-inaccurate or unreliable info online as people can assume false identities to gain trust and attract attention
-contrast also with writer of last years 'A' level compre on her confidence that young people can control instead of be controlled by material online....are young people today really media-literate?
Qn: Consider the value of silence.
ARTICLE 2
This piece of news wasn't captured in the Straits Times, but I thought it was quite useful. Back to last year's 'A' level paper, the passage mentioned about how material online is unreliable. Here is a good example. It's about how there were warnings online that 200 Aids victims have been instructed to use their blood to contaminate the canned food produced in a factory. It even goes on to say that the Thai govt has confirmed this and has responded by clearing these canned food off the shelves of supermarkets in Thailand. But Singapore's AVA (Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore) has confirmed that this is just a piece of rumour.
ARTICLE 3
Nothing new here about a young girl who made a sex video of herself, and somehow this video was uploaded online and went viral. But what caught my attention is that this girl was just 13 years old when the sex video was made!!!! And it was a three-minute long sex video! Relate this to last year's 'A' level compre again, where the author concluded with such confidence that the young will be able to control rather than be controlled by the internet.
