The importance of Privacy, Security, Legal and Green Computing Awareness for Society

Modern life has become easier and the people of the world had to thanks to the immense contribution of the internet technology to communication and information sharing. There is no doubt that internet has made our life become easier and more convenient. But we usually say that everything has pros and cons. In today’s life, the world had giving attention to the problems of security, privacy, legal and green computing. Here I will share my ideas about the importance of these topics in this blog.

Privacy
Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves, or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively. The boundaries and content of what is considered private differ among cultures and individuals. As a quick definition, privacy is something is inherently special or sensitive to a person. Privacy is important because without it, surveillance information will be abused which has a meaning to peep, to sell to marketers and to spy on political enemies -- whoever they happen to be at the time. Privacy protects us from abuses by those in power, even if we're doing nothing wrong at the time of surveillance.
Security

Nowadays, many organizations face different kinds of security threats. Security refers to protection from hostile forces. Security is freedom from, or resilience against, potential harm or other unwanted coercive change caused by others and it is about protecting important data, confidential information, networks, software, equipment, facilities, company’s assets, and personnel. The main goal of security is to monitor and protect assets and act as a deterrent to violence. Though the information will not be misused, it is very hard to retrieve it and may cause permanent loss of data by two factors which is attack by natural disaster and the second is malicious party.
Legal
The meaning of legal is allowable or enforceable by being in conformity with the law of the land and the public policy. As a quick definition, legal also define as of or relating to law. Why is law so important in society? The law is important for a society for it serves as a norm of conduct for citizens. It was also made to provide for proper guidelines and order upon the behaviour for all citizens. Besides that, the law is important because it acts as a guideline as to what is accepted in society. Without it there would be conflicts between social groups and communities. It is pivotal that we follow them. The law allows for easy adoption to changes that occur in the society. 
Green Computing 
Green computing is the environmentally responsible and eco-friendly use of computers and their resources. Since human started realised that they need to do something to protect the environment because they had polluted the environment with computer waste which contain a lot of toxic material which can easily leach to the ground water and pollute it, as an example heavy metals. Therefore, green computing is important to keep the environment safe and clean and it can help to reduce the pollution of the environment. Green computing can also conserve the resources which means less energy is required to produce, use, and dispose of products.
