Digital Earth – Cyber threats, privacy and ethics in an age of paranoia Whether it's the next big ransomware attack or cyber terrorism, digital threats have evolved drastically in recent years. Issues surrounding phishing, misinformation, cyber terrorism, physical security, and privacy continue to arise for both individual users and large enterprises. With technology an intrinsic part of our everyday lives, we need to be aware of digital threats, and be able to identify other threats such as phishing, ransomware, and spyware before they can wreak havoc in our professional or personal lives. This book discusses the most prevalent technological threats that we face today. It is an accessible guide that highlights the most common cyber attacks, and explores data ethics and privacy in an age where we hold so much of our PII (personally identifiable information) online. It covers cyber threats such as phishing, disinformation versus misinformation in a post-COVID-19 world, cyber terrorism, and the power of social media, and analyzes ever-evolving privacy concerns in response to technological advances. For example, does the use of drones by law enforcement offer us complete security or raise questions around the privacy of citizens? The book focuses on: - The spike in phishing amid the COVID-19 pandemic - Cyber terrorism - The risks associated with social media - Whether drones are a search-and-rescue solution or the all-seeing eye in the skyShow book
The Gambler's Fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy, is a common cognitive bias in which individuals believe that past events can influence future random outcomes. It is particularly evident in gambling scenarios, where players wrongly assume that a string of bad or good luck must be followed by a reversal. The core principle of the fallacy lies in the misinterpretation of probability. In reality, the odds of a specific event occurring remain constant, regardless of what happened in the past. This misunderstanding can lead to poor decision-making and increased risks. The roots of the Gambler's Fallacy can be traced back to the early days of gambling, particularly in games of chance such as roulette. A notable historical example occurred in 1913 at the Monte Carlo casino, where the ball in a roulette wheel landed on black 26 times in a row. Spectators, believing the outcome was due for a change, began betting heavily on red. However, the fallacy is that each spin of the wheel is an independent event, and the probability of landing on red or black remains the same, regardless of previous outcomes. This phenomenon was named after the casino, where many people lost large sums due to their misguided beliefs. In the context of games like roulette or coin flips, every spin or toss is independent, with no memory of past results. A fair coin, for example, has a 50% chance of landing heads or tails on each toss. However, when gamblers fall prey to the Gambler's Fallacy, they believe that if the coin lands heads several times in a row, the chances of tails increase with each successive flip. This misunderstanding can be disastrous, especially when it leads to reckless betting behavior.Show book
3D printing is transforming industries worldwide, and construction is no exception. As housing shortages and high building costs continue to challenge communities, 3D-printed homes offer a promising solution. This technology enables faster, more affordable, and adaptable construction, making homeownership and safe housing accessible to more people. By automating traditional processes, 3D printing redefines what's possible in construction—reducing waste, customizing designs, and speeding up building times. This book explores the groundbreaking impact of 3D printing on housing, highlighting its potential to revolutionize construction, improve affordability, and reshape the future of urban and rural living. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is reshaping the construction industry by introducing innovative approaches to building homes, offices, and infrastructure. Traditionally used in manufacturing and prototyping, 3D printing has now evolved into a reliable construction method that involves layering material to create structures, walls, and entire buildings from digital models. This technology allows construction companies to bypass many of the labor-intensive processes typically associated with conventional building techniques, offering an efficient, cost-effective, and flexible approach to construction. In 3D printing for construction, materials like concrete, mortar, and specialized compounds are extruded layer by layer, following a precise digital design that directs robotic arms or large-scale printers. These printers can operate continuously, producing walls, floors, and structural elements at a faster pace than manual construction. As a result, 3D printing not only reduces the time required to build but also significantly decreases labor costs, as fewer workers are needed on-site. Projects that once took months can now be completed in weeks or even days, depending on the scale of the building.Show book

The water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle, is a continuous and dynamic process that moves water throughout the Earth's atmosphere, surface, and underground reservoirs. This cycle plays a vital role in sustaining ecosystems, regulating climate, and supporting human life. Water undergoes various transformations as it moves through different stages, driven by the energy of the sun and the force of gravity. One of the fundamental processes of the water cycle is evaporation, where water from oceans, lakes, rivers, and even soil turns into water vapor due to heat from the sun. Plants also contribute to this process through transpiration, where they release moisture from their leaves into the air. Together, these processes add significant amounts of water vapor to the atmosphere. As the air rises and cools, this vapor undergoes condensation, forming clouds composed of tiny water droplets or ice crystals. When these droplets combine and become heavy enough, precipitation occurs in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Precipitation is the primary way water returns to the Earth's surface, replenishing water bodies and providing essential moisture for plant and animal life. Depending on the terrain and environmental conditions, this water can take several different paths. Some of it infiltrates into the ground, recharging underground aquifers in a process known as groundwater recharge. Other portions of the water flow overland as surface runoff, eventually collecting in rivers, lakes, and oceans. This runoff helps shape landscapes by eroding and transporting sediments over time.Show book
