History, Background, Thoughts and Legal Considerations_LifeLong Learner
Being a lifelong learner dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge for personal and professional reasons I would use the information presented to keep from being victimized over the internet by hackers and other computer crimes. Lifelong learner also means keeping up with voting laws and how they are implemented over the computers as I strive to educate myself every day. Over the years scientific and technological innovation and change has had a profound effect on learning needs and styles. Therefore, I must keep abreast of the changes in all tech law especially when dealing with the internet in this ever-changing world. Learning can be seen as something that takes place on an on-going basis from our daily interactions with others and with the world around us. As technology changes we must adapt and learn to meet everyday demands. When you're an active learner on the job, you see challenge things more clearly and are more creative in solving problem as you work smarter.

History, Background, Thoughts and Legal Considerations_Refelction
In our world today there are many crimes committed over the internet. There have been many stories about companies and other government that has been victimized by hacking and other types of computer crimes. Security needs to be changed to protect the voting rights. In today’s world we rely on things like punched cards, voting machines, handwritten ballots, computers and many other methods. Because of this internet voting may need to be made an option rather than a requirement. All systems of voting can be a problem. Nanotechnology is the science of very small things and I mean very small. Like every new technology that preceded it, the development of the law surrounding nanotechnology is well behind the advances in the technology. Nanotechnology Website and software development has again become affordable. The point is that from the client's perspective it's not about the law, it's about business. When you use your lawyers properly and they do their job, it's about mitigating risk, solving business problems, and making money. Entrepreneurial is the nature of the beast because of the personality type technology attracts. Equity investments can change this because cash-strapped business still offer law firms stock in exchange new, unique, and hard-to-duplicate technologies and ideas. VCs are looking for new, unique, and hard to duplicate technologies. Tech deal take time and no one should wait minute to make a deal.
Negotiations: Policies, Procedures, and Suggestions_Change Agent
As a Change Agent”, I would use what I learned in this chapter on how you will use what you learned from this chapter about Negotiations: Policies, Procedures, and Suggestions” and make changes in your workplace environment. A change agent is critical to the success of a change in any program. Skills include developing people outside of their normal functional boundaries, motivating them, and communicating solutions. Acting as a change agent I would show coworkers how trends have changed could help make a change and stick with it. This could help them focus and implement change needed to build a great negotiating team that would help the company succeed. Most people change for the better when they realize the change is better for the workplace and everyone concerned. The world around us is changing every day. If you have what it takes to make changes within a company, and a vision for others to follow, then our successes will soon be seen as great Leadership.

Negotiations: Policies, Procedures, and Suggestions_Refelection
Negotiation is a discussion between two or more disputants who are trying to work out a solution to their problem. Negotiations usually take place because the parties want to create something new that neither of them can do on their own. The parties will acknowledge that there is a conflict of interest between them and think they can use some form of influence to get a better deal. In negotiation “information is powerful”. You should ask open-ended questions and listen to what is being said. The more you listen the more you learn. To improve your negotiation skills you should start by preparing, develop a good game, plan, listen, and talk very little. Sometimes it is better to drop the big idea first. When negotiating you should never forget that you are negotiating more than money. Negotiating telephone deals by phone are good for things that are not that important. Deals that are important should be made important. Negotiating tech deals can lead to disputes and when they do law- suits follow.
When parties negotiate, they usually expect give and take. The disputants will either attempt to force the other side to comply with their demands. When negotiating as a team, team members should never disagree with each other. You can also consider outsourcing technology as an effective cost cutting measure. When building a team, the first thing to do is to create an exploratory team and let the team investigate. A team leader should be chosen to do all the talking. Then you should begin building the team with members who understand the company. The team should also include outside advisors who can give objective advice. A tech lawyer should be kept on the team and finally, if the "right" people are not involved in negotiations, the process is not likely to succeed. All the interested and affected parties must be represented negotiators must truly represent and have the trust of those they are representing. If constituents do not recognize a negotiator as their legitimate representative, they can try to block implementing the agreement. Negotiators must be sure to consult with their constituents to ensure that they adequately deal with their constituents' concerns.
Privacy, Policy, and Encryption_Change Agent
Working as a change agent I would get everyone involved in learning about “Privacy, Policy, and Encryption”. This is something that affects everyone because these policies concern anyone who uses the internet. Everyone wants what they use in e-mails and messages to be private or to be sent to who it was intended for. This is the why everyone should get involved and as a change agent it is my job to share what these polices mean and why they are important to internet users. Everything is done on the internet in this day and age, from messaging to buying and purchasing and the use of credit cards. Credit card security, one of the biggest frauds, has changed in many ways since the beginning of using them via internet. Credit card fraud is one of the privacy that has been invaded over the internet and there is a need to change the way people use them for protection. Educating very one about how to avoid fraud would help change the way card users protect themselves when they think about the words privacy, policy, and encryption. This change could get everyone involved and make doing business online easy for all because they know the law.

Privacy, Policy, and Encryption_Refelction
When it comes to the internet, protecting your privacy is a very big problem for all of us. We all rely on our computers daily to perform for us and give us information to live by and most of the time the information is very critical information that is stored on our hard drives. So for this reason, the important information is available and secure at the same time. People must do what is necessary to keep this information secure.Encryption is that best way to protect important information when a computer involved. It involves the taking of the data and putting into a descrambling code so that no one can figure it out what it is. In addition to encryption we must protect ourselves from the internet with privacy policies. According to Grossman, two of the most popular policies are” the Gamma-Leach-Bliley Act and The Health Insurance Probability Act.”Grossman, M. (2009) The GLB Act protects the financial information of company’s clients and the Health Insurance Probability Accountability Act protects the information of individuals’ medical privacy.
Piracy and Crime: Schemes and Scams_Change Agent
A change agent must understand people and change is about people. If you change everything but the people, then there is doubt you'll be effective as a change agent. Change is hard work and it takes a lot of energy. The change agent needs to come to work every day and risk being misunderstood. Living in the future a change agent has a vision of what could or should be. Working as a change agent I would make a change and try to make it stick. When people change they usually change for the better because no one stays the same. Educating people in my work place about “Piracy and Crime: Schemes and Scams” will be hard to do because it is so easy to misuse computers and software. My job would be to help them understand the rules and the laws that govern the use of computers and the software they use on the internet.

Piracy and Crime: Schemes and Scams_ Reflection
Piracy and Crime: Schemes and Scams
There are legal approaches that have been developed throughout the history of the Internet to address the different types of Internet crime. These Internet crimes include penalty for using unlicensed software. To prevent this problem one of the most important step is preventing software theft and copyright infringement. Computer crime is any illegal activity that is comes through the use of a computer. Employees should be educated about software privacy. Using Metering software can help track the use of software. A server software license should also be used to allow a number of users to connect to the network. The BSA can view unauthorized use of software as stealing someone else’s property.
Cyberbullying similar to cyberstalking is described as continued harassment and torment with the use of an electronic communications device, most often via the Internet. The main difference is that cyberbullying involves adolescents as victims and/or offenders. Cyberbullying is now being prosecuted under the harassment statutes. It involves stalling online. It involves using the internet, its e-mail, the chat room and the other types of electronic communications to stalk another person. Pretexting also breaks the law. This is uncovering hidden financial information about people under false pretenses is called pretexting. Online investigators who use pretexting are breaking the law. There is very little protection of this in the U.S. The best thing to do is to educate you about privacy issues. Spyware can be installed for free to protect your computer. Websites and e-mails can be bugged. This is called web bugs a tool for gathering information. Web bugs are an asset to spammers because it lets them know if you e-mail is valid. The bottom line is that nobody should use the internet to collect information from web pages.
