Today's Story Highlights

The Internet's Split Personality
The Internet has been good for education but bad for morality, according
to a study by the Pew Research Center. Researchers conducted face-to-
face surveys with 36,619 people in 32 developing countries. A median of
64 percent of respondents said the Internet has had a good influence on
education. On the other hand, a median of 42 percent said the Internet
has had a bad influence on morality.

Twitter's Periscope Allows Live Stream Replays
Live streaming from mobile devices has been having a rebirth of sorts
with the proliferation of 4G, the continued rise of smart devices and
the quickening pace of the demise of feature phones. Twitter has been
seeking its own rebirth, and it's wagering that its renaissance will be
influenced largely by Periscope, a new live-streaming app that just
surfaced.

CAPTCHAs May Do More Harm Than Good
If an annoyance contest were held between passwords and CAPTCHAs,
passwords would probably win, but not by much. CAPTCHA -- Completely
Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart -- was
created to foil bots attempting to mass-create accounts at websites.
Once created, those accounts could be exploited by online lowlifes for
malicious ends, such as spewing spam.
