DQ's 4-6 page 380

4-i think he way email messaging now is fine because if everything is encrypted, the government cant protect us from criminals, who wouild take adavantage of this encrtption to commit more crimesm without ever being found. Today our email addresses are somewhat secure.

5- It wont really matter, if it was for securtity reason, because no dowbt these badges hekp to protect hidden and secure data, or things from the outside world, and criminals.

6- these missile s are run after all with software programming,and go off without the help of humans. I think that it is increasing out safty, but it also has a negative side, and that in the reliability section. Hopw can we trust lazer powered machines, that are their to protect us. What if by any chance they missfire, or what if the missiles lose control and fly to some other location. This would cause great devestation and concern.

Review Questions page 379 10-11

10- Computers can help protect our privacy, because on paper, things tend to get lost and are open to stealing and more, but when it is on computer our privacy settings are a little more protected.
However their are still negative parts to it. Internet monitoring programs and software snooping track our web exploration and read our electronic mail.

11- Smart weapons are weapons/ missiles that use computerized guidance to locate their target, enabling a human to fully control the missile through eye view.The advantage is the accuracy will be increased, but the cons will is that these hight ec weapons reduce the amount of time for people to make life or death choices, as chance goes down, the chances o error increase.

Discussion Questions Page 375-376

1-Most likely Yes, if the a great number of industries produce RFID reading tools, then the consumer will eventually be forced to use these tools if it is begening to take great affect in this age of tecnology.

2- Yes, why not. This can make a persons job of finding many of his things around the house easier.

3- Yes, how many cats and dogs get lost every day, and are evntually transferred to the pound. Lots and Lots are lost daily, imagine waht RIFD's could do for these owners and their dogs. It would allow people to know excatly where their dog is chilin, but also it would reduce the amounts of strayy dogs.

Review Questions

Computer security technique proposal

Today, in the 21st century, many people have access to the internet, which allows malicious hackers to infect and ruin your personal files, and often the files of your friends when you send files form your computer to the next. Although there are many Anti-virus programs protecting your computer, they often don’t detect or get rid of all the viruses. The stronger these anti- virus companies become the smarter and dangerous they and their viruses become.

Review questions pg 397

2- because the internet is 1a wide and vast place, it is ery difficult to find hackers or their computers on such a large data base. Its even harder to estimate thme because they are happening daily by diffeent people. Good or bad. A 4th grade kid download a movie illegally, can he be prosectuted, etc. All kinds of people are commiting these crime, young and old. Does a child doing a project about the satetes who copy and pastes an essay responsuibele and mature enough to be trialed and sent to juvinial hall with murders.

4- The most common computer crime isd plagerizing and downloading imovies and songs from bootleg websites. Unfortunetley nothing is being done to stop these things. Although there are threats and violations for doing this, because there are people doing it all the time and it is hard to track the amount of people doing it, nothing is being done.
