The internet was made for technology to be made more accessible of people globally. The sites observed stated that. Copyright owners have the exclusive statutory right to exercise control over copying and other exploitation of the works for a specific period of time.  Copyright owners of a certain site can license or permanently transfer their exclusive rights to others. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright.

One thing that I learned while using computers is that your not allowed to put the contents of another person's or organizations web site on your Web page. However I did learn that you can use free graphics for an web page you create. Another don’t while creating a web page is Copying  and pasting information together from various Internet sources to create "your own" document. http://mason.gmu.edu/~montecin/copyright-internet.htm

Equity issues hit early on as young women and women of color experience while growing up. Scholars have seen in many studies that white collar jobs are based off what type of computer use one received in early schooling. The people that cannot use computer technology are considered illiterate and not capable of working in the white collar business world. Henceforth people that have access to computer use have better jobs than people that do o get a chance to have computer access. http://www.avln.org/learning/itc/jaeequity.htm

When looking up this topic I found that a lot of the conversation deals with the social economic status of people. Both sites observed express that color was a factor and that mainly young people that are at a disadvantage to receiving computer usage suffer. These young people usually suffer in the white collar jobs that requires everyday up to par skills of using the computer.

Cultural implications of how the cultural backgrounds of students from different cultures, influences how they use and think about learning with computer based technologies. This factor has led  the assumption that guidelines and models based on the experiences of such students are needed to design computer-based learning environments in which they can benefit.  Henceforth like equities of using computer, cultural minorities are often made invisible and are being disadvantage in their learning. http://community.flexiblelearning.net.au/TeachingTrainingLearners/content/article_4502.htm

When teachers use computers in a classroom setting they must realize that not all students will haves access to computers. When dealing with technology student come in all ranges of having. However some students family culture may no want their child exposed to outside resources due to some harmful sites. When using certain sites it maybe be best to discuss with parents of what sites students can and cannot use. Dealing with the word culture is complex and dealing with technologies and kids teachers have to know how to make everyone evolved somewhat equally. http://www.ehow.com/info_7923419_cultural-related-technology-use-schools.html

When dealing with computers there were four main issues I saw dealing with computers on a regular basis. One was eye disease due to staring on a screen for significant amounts of time the eyes become strain. Two was bad posture while sitting around and just staring at he screen many people develop terrible posture. A third issue I read was hand stress. Typing to long can cause your fingers and wrist to hurt after amount of time. The last issue I saw was the fact people can actually suffer from computer stress. Baiscally all the problems from before into one big problem of how stress with just computer the anxiety of work of the stress of bad posture. http://heheli.com/business/top-4-health-problems-caused-by-computer-use/

The other site I observed talk about the same problems eye strains and stress on the eyes are huge health issues. Pain in the lower back as well in the neck can be from sitting in the wrong type o chair when using a computer. Having proper lighting can reduce eye strain and the stress from it. Good posture and having a good chair is also important to not developing health issues.
