Discussion questions

2- During the spring break i created a spreadsheet for what i needed to complete these remaining months. Since i created my planner on excel spread sheet i organized it and saved it on a computer. A database is a comprehensive collection of related data organized for convenient access, generally in a computer.
3-It is very important for me to constantly check on my balance, because if i dont keep track of my spending i can sometimes go wild. I like to keep myself in check so that i dont spend money on useless items.I check my balance inquiry around every week.
5- I think you pay the 100 dollars first then sue the company. The reason behind this is that if you refuse to wait you will damage your credit over a mere 100 dollars. if you sue and refuse to pay you will spend more than a 100 dollars on the lawyer and in the end you dont gain anything because you keep your 100. So paying you 100 dollars insures that they wont damage you credit, then suing them comes later when you can demand the you money back plus reinbursment.
7- I would be upset that the FBI is suspicious of me, but not that they are checking on educational medical,and library records.I would scare and make me mad if they followed me daily,and tracked my purchases.

Review questions 7-11

7-Database programs enable users to store, organize, retrieve, communicate, and manage large amounts of information quickly and efficiently. Each database is made up of tables, which are, in turn, collections of records, and each record is made up of fields containing text strings, numbers, and other chunks of information. Database programs enable users to view data in a variety of ways, sort records in any order, and print reports, mailing labels, and other custom printouts
8-their isn't a clear way to reduce errors in a system but scientist are working to find a way to solve this problem and increase the reliability if their products to their consumers.
9- Record matching works when companies gather little bits of information and compile them to make an assumption about you.
10- This topic has been debated by many scholars some say it is not present in the constitution, and others say that some amendment just further imply this meaning. But here in the US we do have the right to privacy in some ways, but even that has changed because of the Patriot act.
11- Computers are the easiest way to invade privacy, often because it is very hard to track people.
