1) What are some ways Mr. Gore uses IT to communicate his message about global warming?
Slide show (filled with bunch of visual aids)& Internet (his own website)
2) Describe the use of visual aids in his speeches.
Graphs, pictures, vidoes, animation and text were generally what he used for his speech
1.  Since not all of the people are interested in words, with the visual aids aforesaid, his speech was more understandable and attractive because it fitted different people's appetites.
2.  "Seeing is believing", the visual aids helped to convince the audience 
3) According to Mr. Gore, what is the cause of global warming?
Too much CO2 (The greenhouse gas) and the disappearance of forests.
4) Why does Mr. Gore feel that global warming is such an important issue?
Because the amount of hurricane would increase, the glacier would melt and furthermore, the rising of sea-level caused by the global warming would flush part of the continents which lead to the damage of countries, or maybe some cities and countries along with several species near the seashore would vanish.
5) What does he suggest we can do to solve this problem?
Here are some of his suggestions along with mine
1. Stop the wild deforestation and meanwhile replant trees.
2. Use new fuel such as H2 in place of pestrol or anything which tend to produce large amount of CO2 after burning
3. Formulate certain laws to restrict the production of CO2
4. Encourage people to take bus instead of purchasing new cars. 

1) What is a "botnet"?

A kind of system that is installed on thousands or even millions of personal computers and used to band these computers together into an unwitting army of zombies. This system then uses the collective power of the dragooned network to commit Internet crimes.

2) What is "spam"?

 Junk e-mails, which also has bedeviled the world Internet.

3) According to the article, how many computers were online in 1988?

Only 60,000

4) Today about how many computers are online? How many of them contain botnet programs?

650 million computers are online today and about 11 percent of them

5) How do "botnet masters" profit from their use of botnets?

6) In your own words, explain why botnets are harmful to society.

The top-secret military documents may be stolen without noticing, much less the loss of money in someone’s on-line bank.

The use of botnets threatens not only the Internet security, people’s privacies, yet also the peace of the world.

7) What do you think should be done to solve the problem of botnets? Be creative!

1. Use different computer languages to write computer programs only the purchasers’ computers know.

2. Codes can be used for specific information. Such a way as the “botnets master” will not be able to know what the information is about if they do break into someone’s computer.

3. Install anti-virus software and update punctually.

4. Charge the masters of the botnets if we know

8) What are some other important problems that are affecting the Internet?

Spam blocking may make your e-box useless.

People may be hooked by the fake advertisement online and aren’t able to find out the advertiser.

The spreading of hoaxed is another problem that is affecting the Internet.

1) Give three examples from the article where people used information technology to prove the police did something bad. 
One cell phone video shows Los Angeles police beating a man repeatedly in the face.
 Another shows a handcuffed, homeless man being blasted with pepper spray in the face. 
A third grainy video has campus police using a Taser stun gun on a student who refused to leave a Los Angeles university library.
2) How is IT helping people solve the problem of police brutality?
Since the speed of technology is accelerating, more and more people can afford video cell phones, cameras and many shops have the ability to install VCRs and those would monitor anyone's behaviours not mention the police's.
Modern technology of science will absolutely cause the decent of police brutality. 
The same as Austin once said "Technology makes it all the easier now. There are little digital cameras we can buy for 20 bucks in a drugstore that take good-enough photos in daylight. And then there's the Internet that gets it out there"
3) Besides small, inexpensive cameras, what are some other technologies that people are using to expose abuses by the police?
Video cell phones and Internet sites are mentioned in this piece of news. The digital voice recorder may also help at this matter.
4) What does Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton say about using videos against police officers?
"I cannot make judgments based solely on videos or portions of videos." 
He contended there is no U.S. government agency that  "has more policies, procedures, guidelines and independent oversight with respect to use of force than the LAPD."
5) Do you think this kind of technology is making the world a better place? Are there any ways that the same technologies that help the people in this article can also be harmful?
It sure is. 
For the good side, this kind of technology would help minimize the cases of violence and would also facilitate the judgement by the court and maybe, by the help of the VCRs, students may not able to cheat in the exams and there will be no teachers needed during an exmamination.
Whereas, some of the electronic surveillance would bring the intrusive of people's pravicies or draw suspicions. These are most people do not like.  
6) Will this kind of technology have any effect on Chinese society? Good or bad? Explain your answer.
It has had effect on Chinese society and will continue. The trend of buying and intalling those modern stuffs will last as Chinses gradually notice the benifits which will bring.
Either good or bad side stays since none is extremely good or bad.
The good or bad effect is brought mainly by the users' purpose.
