2.TRUE
Internet censorship is the control or suppression of the publishing or accessing of information on the Internet. Censorship can take many forms—such as limiting access to certain Web sites, allowing access to only some content or modified content at certain Web sites, rejecting the use of certain key words in search engine searches, tracking and monitoring the Internet activities of individuals, and harassing or even jailing individuals for their Internet use.
3.FALSE
The digital divide is a term used to describe the gulf between those who do and those who don’t have access to modern information and communications technology such as smartphones, personal computers, and the Internet.
4.FALSE
Net neutrality is the principle that Internet Service Providers should be required to treat all Internet traffic running over their wired and wireless broadband networks the same—without favoring content from some sources and/or blocking or slowing (also known as throttling) content from others.

5.TRUE
In theory, the Internet of Things would enable people to connect almost any device with an on/off switch to a network—automobiles, coffee makers, components of an aircraft engine, heart monitor implants, packing labels, ingestible pills, wearable devices, and even highway sensors that can warn of traffic and hazardous road conditions.
