The world is an interconnected global village due to the increasing adoption and reliance on technology, but an ugly side of the increased usage of technology has come to light. The issue of harassment and abuse on the internet has led to relatively new issues such as cyber harassment, cyber incivility and cyberbullying.A case study was conducted within two faculties at the University of Cape Town (UCT). The research objectives were: to find out how staff members in a workplace have experienced cyber incivility, to find out what effects cyber incivility has on employees, to find out what the motivations are for staff participation in cyber incivility, and to find out what policies a workplace should have in place in order to deal with cyber incivility.The data collected shows that there have been occurrences of cyber harassment and cyber incivility among staff members at UCT. The following effects were found to be consistent with cyber harassment and cyber incivility: decrease in productivity and a toxic working environment. On an individual basis: anger, negative feelings and feelings of inferiority, feeling demotivated, feelings of fear and intimidation, feeling emotional and upset, irritation, loss of self-esteem, stress and wasted time.

“…(4) Adaptive filtering of content and access to applications. Knowing whether the user is a child or an adult can be used to automatically filter Internet content and to disable access to applications according to parental monitoring settings [1]. However, in contrast to existing approaches, our technique can inform the app right away (from the first touch or just a few touches) that the ownership of the device has changed and can enforce or disable parental settings automatically.…”

“…We generate frequency distributions of adults' and children's tap times and offset distances (see Figure 2, next page) using the touch dataset of Vatavu et al [9]. This dataset contains 587 samples from 119 participants (89 children with ages between 3 and 6 years old and 30 young adults) 1 . Figure 2 plots the Child and Adult classes in the TAP-TIME × OFFSET-DISTANCE space and the frequency distributions of the two measures.…”

Abstract. We present a technique that classifies users' age group, i.e., child or adult, from touch coordinates captured on touch-screen devices. Our technique delivered 86.5% accuracy (user-independent) on a dataset of 119 participants (89 children ages 3 to 6) when classifying each touch event one at a time and up to 99% accuracy when using a window of 7+ consecutive touches. Our results establish that it is possible to reliably classify a smartphone user on the fly as a child or an adult with high accuracy using only basic data about their touches, and will inform new, automatically adaptive interfaces for touch-screen devices.

“…The attitude of parents towards children internet use is based on age, education and residence environment (Alvarez, Torres, Rodriguez, Padilla, and Rodrigo, 2013). Parents who use internet on a tablet or smartphone in everyday life can make their children also tend to use internet (Mascheroni & Olafsson, 2015).…”

“…Parents will be giving a protective stance in older children because of the intensity of the internet use is higher. The ability of parents in the use of the internet can help guide the children (Alvarez, Torres, Rodriguez, Padilla, and Rodrigo, 2013).…”
