' Internet of Things '
What is the 'Internet of Things'?

The Internet of Things is the network of physical objects-devices, vehicles, buildings and other items- embedded with electronics, software, sensors and network connectivity that enables these objects to collect and exchange data. 

The Internet of things will have a major positive impact on Businesses in the sense that they will save on travelling costs for business meetings. For example the CEO of a big company that has branches all over doesn't have to travel for business meetings he can just use skype to have the meeting with other board of directors that are not in the same area/region as him. 

Socially it enhances communication between people and in the long run everything is going to be digital friendly.There will be a decrease in digital divide, example country's like India that don't have access to internet and a lot of digital things/objects now will have access and know more about digital access.
Rape- The Cold Hard Facts.
The Solution Fluency
The Process:
Define– Rape and sexual abuse against women and children, South Africa is claimed to be the Rape Capital of the world.
Discover– South Africa has the highest rate of sexual abuse against women and children. As Statistics says from the Criminal Law (Sexual offences and related matters) amended act of 2007, South Africa is one of the country where sexual abuse actions are still common, as the country has the highest rate child and baby rape in the world with more than 67,000 cases of rape and sexual assaults against children reported in 2000, with welfare groups believing that unreported incidents could be up to 10 times higher. In 2001, a 9-month-old was raped and likely lost consciousness as the pain was too much to bear. Another 9-month-old baby was raped by six men, aged between 24 and 66, after the infant had been left unattended by her teenage mother. A 4-year-old girl died after being raped by her father. A 14-month-old girl was raped by her two uncles. In February 2002, an 8-month-old infant was reportedly gang raped by four men.

Dream– How can we deal with this problem? Through creating campaigns that will gather people together and try to address these problems and find ways of redressing it. Creating more awareness of this problem through Television, Radio and the internet, where we have to broadcast the messages of the issue and ways on how we can try to solve them. It is believed that communication is the process of solving an issue.
Design– As the country we can involve the processes of therapy and counseling. Convince the victims to share their stories to other people, so this could help the vulnerable ones to be aware of the future actions of the offenders. Bring more man on campaigns like Brothers for Life, encouraging more females to also engage on campaigns like Zazi.
Deliver- The nation of South Africa can create more TV stories, movies or series that will publish information about this issues. This will create more awareness on what South Africa is trying to deal with, thus this will perhaps make people to stand up and talk about this issue.
Debrief- Through applying these solutions, we will be more focused on both the victims and the offenders of this action. Our primary solution is to create more awareness on the problem and try to bring people closer and to redress it in a more adequate manner. We will also be more focused on the causes of these problems, what must be done and what have to be implemented.
