US government hack stole fingerprints of 5.6 million federal employees
The article is about how the US government got hacked and stole 5.6 million federal employees finger prints. The US believe it could be china as the one who's doing this as there is no evidence. However the US government have fired the director of security as to the fault of what happened. The theft of this information could find out about the spies and the secrecy of the United States.
This exposes how because of the developments in technology, people's privacy is being disregarded. As an astonishing figure of 5.6 million was hacked, it goes shows how noone is fully safe from online crimes. This also shows how America's federal government is under attack which shows the advancing in the ways groups of threatening the US.
This article talks about how therapists have developed a 12-week course to wean dependent people off their screens. Therapy website Talkspace has come up with a solution: a new 12-week plan to address social-media dependency. People are able exchange texts with a real therapist to talk through their dependence – not "addiction," to their phone. Created in 2012, the Talkspace app offers text-based therapy provided by 200 therapists to its current 150,000 registered users. But unlike texting a friend, a parent or a significant other, on the other end is a therapist.
I think through this development of therapy, it really shows how people in this modern age are so dependant on their mobile phones. This article goes on to say how certain people become anxious when they have no signal on their mobile phones. This therefore accentuates how internet, social media and other developments in new and digital media have grown to be a part of peoples daily lives.
