Cyberbullying

 

Cyberbullying is the misuse of electronic information and mass media, such as e-mail, SMS, weblogs, cellphones and defamatory websites, to harass or attack a person or a group. It can cause emotional damage

Some schools have started programs to teach students about cyberbullying and how to deal with it

Legal status

In 2006, a 13 year old girl in Missouri killed herself after receiving mean messages on MySpace from a woman pretending to be a teenage boy. The state of Missouri then made using technology like the Internet or text messages to harass someone illegal.^[3]

In New Hampshire, a law was passed in 2010 that said that schools must have rules against cyberbullying.^[4]

On October 12, 2012, a Canadian girl named Amanda Todd killed herself. A few years before this happened, she showed her breasts on a video chat, and a man later messaged her saying that if Todd did not show more parts of her body then he would post the pictures he had taken of her from the video chat to the Internet. She faced alot of bullying on the internet afterwards.

The Invention of the Phone

 For years it has been thought of Alexander Graham Bell as the inventor of one of the most revolutionary objects in human history. But things didn’t exactly went that way. Test

The greatest dispute of the twentieth century, passed under silence for almost a hundred years, is linked to an invention that we all know today. In March of 1876, the American scientist and inventor Alexander Graham Bell patented the invention of the century, which was later given the name of phone, but a huge contribution to the success of this project, was given by the Italian Anthony Meucci, who already from the middle of thenineteenth century had begun his studies on how to communicate remotely through Electrical Appliances. His studies culminated in 1854 with the realization of the first prototype of the Telectrophone, as Meucci had baptized his invention, which was used by the Italian inventor in his Cuban home in order to communicate with his wife, Bedridden by a sickness. Because of the precarious economic conditions in which he poured, Meucci could not patent in the immediate invention, having to wait until 1871. Moving to New York, where he opened a candle factory, he was able to accumulate the money needed to get a caveat , which he was able to pay until 1873. And on March 7 of 1876, Alexander Graham Bell, former professor of the university of Boston, was in possession of the original drawings of the Telectrophone. Understanding the importance of what he had in hand, he presented and deposited the patent number 174,464 for a device substantially identical to the original by Antonio Meucci, changing its name in the telephone. The Italian inventor filed a lawsuit against Bell, but the charges, again, were too high. For over a century, Bell, especially in the United states , was considered the father of this invention, although he periodically debated the authorship of the telephone. On June 11, 2002, the Congress of THE United states of America finally recognized Antonio Meucci, with resolution 269, as the true inventor of the telephone.

Caveat: The Caveat patent , or simply Caveat, in American patent Law Was A legal document, filed with the U.S. Patent Office, United States Patent Office, which was later deseated in 1909. Corresponding to a real patent application , with a description of the invention, but did not have detailed indications and was renewable annually after payment of a special fee of $10. In essence, therefore, the inventor’s intention was to present a patent application at a later date, with a lower cost than a patent application, which At the time it had a cost of $15. If another inventor had filed a patent application on a similar invention , the U.S. Patent Office notified this request to the proprietor of the caveat, who had three months to submit an application for Patent, with, of course, a priority recognized on the date of invention.

Jules Verne

 Jules Verne (February 8, 1828– March 24, 1905) was a French writer. He was one of the first authors to write science fiction. Some of his books include Journey To The Centre Of The Earth (1864), From the Earth to the Moon (1865), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).

He was born in the city of Nantes, France. His father was a lawyer, and at the beginning, Verne wanted to study law as well. When he was nineteen, he started writing long pieces of literature, but his father wanted him to earn money as a lawyer, not as a writer. In 1847, his father sent him to Paris to start studying law.

In 1848, Jules Verne, on a visit home, fell in love, but the girl's parents did not want her to marry him. Verne was depressed when he heard that the girl had been married to someone else - a rich, older man. In his stories, Jules Verne often writes about women married to people they do not love.

He returned to Paris to find it on the verge of revolution: the French Revolution of 1848 deposed the king, and Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte was elected as the first president of the Republic of France. (A republic is a country which does not have a king or queen, but has a president instead.)

Verne continued to study law until 1851, but all the time he was writing and meeting with other authors and artists.

Finally, in 1852, he decided to give up being a lawyer, and become a full-time professional writer instead. His father was very unhappy with this decision, but Verne was stubborn and strong-minded, so he went ahead with his plans. Verne went to Paris to try to find success. At first, he did not find any fame. Over time, he became a fan of science, while becoming well known for his writing. His love of science and writing led him to write stories and novels that are now called "science fiction". Many people say Jules Verne was the creator of the science fiction genre.

Verne lived to write. He wrote many stories. These included fiction novels, theater works, and other novels. In 1886, his young nephew, Gaston, who had paranoia, shot Verne in the leg. After that, Verne had a permanent limp in his leg. This may have resulted in his darker writing styles in that time period.

Verne married Aimée du Fraysse de Viane in January 1857 with his father's blessing. In August 1861, their son was born. He continued to write until his death. On 24th of March 1905, Verne, who was sick with diabetes, died at his home in Amiens, France.

Jules Verne and inventions

Jules Verne wrote about many things which did not exist when he was alive. Some of these things later became real. Verne was far from being a scientist, but his passion for technology and the progress being made at the time served to introduce many of the inventions that were to come and that, over time, have ended up becoming ordinary elements of our every-day life.^[1]

Electric submarine

In Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Captain Nemo and his electric submarine were a modern marvel. Electricity was very new at the time, and had never been used to power an underwater ship.

The news on the radio and television

In an 1889 article, "In the Year 2889," Jules Verne described an alternative to newspapers:

"Instead of being printed, the Earth Chronicle is every morning spoken to subscribers, who, from interesting conversations with reporters, statesmen and scientists, learn the news of the day."

The first newscast didn't happen until 1920, according to the Associated Press—nearly 30 years after Verne imagined it.

Lunar modules

Jules Verne wrote about "projectiles" in From the Earth to the Moon. These projectiles would carry people to the moon. Verne imagined a big gun which would force the module up to the moon. Today, space modules are sent into space at the top of rockets, which force the module beyond the reach of gravity.

Music players and holographs

In The Carpathian Castle, some villagers are terrified of a certain castle, from which they can hear voices and see shapes. An intrigued visitor decides to see what is happening, and he finds out that they were hearing just recorded sounds and holographic images.
