The Great Worm -- an power point presentation script
an all black slide with the giant movie logo "REVENGE OF THE NERDS" (available from http://www.supermanfred.it/nerds.htm -- the image will need to be slightly edited to remove "the website" from it) in the center. Play a section of "She Blinded me with Science!"
Script: [said ominously] "It was the eighties. Anything could have happened. The internet was still a text-based baby and there wasn't even public dial-up access yet. Nonetheless, over 60,000 systems in universities, corporations and government offices were connected in a living system... one that was about to get seriously ill.
The image is an old college picture of Robert T. Morris (available from http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/hackers/robert-morris / ). A list on the side of the image reads:
*Robert T. Morris, JR.
*Cornell Computer Science Graduate Student
*Future founder of Viaweb & MIT professor
*Criminal Mastermind?
Script: "Robert T. Morris [cue first list item] was an innocuous looking graduate student at MIT. [cue second list item] By all reports he was a brilliant fellow from a brilliant line. His father was the chief scientist and the National Computer Security Center and he himself would go on to be an influential part of the development of the Internet with dozens of papers under his belt. Eventually he would found Viaweb, a set of online store tools used by Yahoo! And others, [cue third list item] and be a professor at MIT in the field of computing and artificial intelligence. In the Eighties, [cue last list item] however, little Robert was responsible for releasing the first worm and bringing the fledgling internet to its knees.
Slide #3 -- An image of a huge carnivorous Gobi worm serves as the background for this slide. (http://www.forteantimes.com/articles/182_deathworm1.shtml) On the left the following text reads:
'1975-- A freedom fighter creates the Tapeworm, a computer program forcing his totalitarian government to shut down all operations. Luckily for the U.S., it's only science fiction, part of John Brunner's story SHOCKWAVE."
SCRIPT: (read the text) "Science fiction has long proved to be science-prophesy in the field of computing. Both worms and viruses get their names from science fiction stories that proceeded them. In the story of Shockwave, worms were used both to bring down the system and as a regular part of the computer net's functioning.
Slide #4 -- A picture of clowns riding a Dune-Style sandworm. (http://www.ibiblio.org/Dave/ar00394.htm) Text elements to the right of the worm read:
List #1 -- "1979 -- Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center uses five worms as part of their routine."
List #2 -- "Shortly thereafter -- Xerox's worms started escaping"
SCRIPT: [cue #1] "1979 -- Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center uses five worms as part of their routine. Worms perform various activities, from deliverying messages to deleting defunct accounts or running programs. This proved to be as dangerous as it was useful. " [cue #2] "Shortly thereafter -- Xerox's worms started escaping. One mutated and started crashing computers. Another spread to computers where it was not wanted. As less people read Shockwave, the idea of worms was almost forgotten... Until Morris Jr. came along."
Slide #5 -- As the list appears, two images will appear. The first shows up with the first list element. This is an image of an earthworm wearing a labcoat. The second image comes in with the third slide. It's the image of the same worm having a great idea. Both images are found at: http://www.jmgkids.com/index.k2?did=2440& sectionID=2019
List #1 -- "How big is the internet anyway?"
List #2 -- "If only I could test this by counting them with a program..."
List #3 -- "What about a program that installed itself and sent copies to any connected computer?"
SCRIPT: [cue #1] "Morris claims that the goal of the worm was to measure the size of the Internet and determine how many computers were interconnected. [cue #2] The worm was supposed to infect every computer it could. Upon infecting the computer, this worm sent a single byte of information to Morris' web address. By counting those bytes, Morris would know how many computers there were online using the susceptible systems. [cue #3] The entire function of the worm was to install itself on any computer it infected and use that computer to send out copies of the program to other computers. Unfortunately, Morris made what he claims was a serious coding mistake.
Slide #6 -- an image of a worm packing two shotguns and growling. This image can be found sketched at: http://archives.thedaily.washington.edu/1999/100899/N3.F&...
Internet started way back 3 to 4 decades, but it really took the world by storm through the 90's and till now it has become one of the main assets of modern day computer user. More people get the information through Internet, especially those who use it than by any other means. The world has become a cyber village where simply anyone from anywhere can communicate with other person living

Sex Offenders and the Internet The types of sexual habits occurring online range from very unusual behaviors to others that are plain illegal (Caroline & Klein, 2014). A considerable amount of literature on sexual abuse of minors occurring and getting promoted online is being developed although there is a scarcity of information concerning other internet sexual based interactions that touch on manufacturing, dissemination and online viewing of sexual materials (Carolina &
In fact, Eijnden at al (2008) found that shy or socially anxious youth did not use instant messaging to foster friendships and instead used the Internet and their computers mainly for games and other non-social activities. When used judiciously to promote healthy identity formation and development or to facilitate human communications, the Internet can be a boon for society. However, the Internet has quickly become an emblem of deep-rooted social
) "Sonnet 130" by Shakespeare and "Sonnet 23" by Louis Labe both talk about love, as so many sonnets do. Their respective techniques however, differentiate them from each other. Shakespeare uses a rhyme scheme that became known as Shakespearean rhyme scheme or English rhyme. He writes about love in a sarcastic manner though. He is mocking the traditional love poems and the usual expressive manner in which women are often compared
