Would You Connect to an Unsecured Wireless Network?

I personally would not use my neighbor's unsecured wireless home network without their permission. I just don't think that it is morally ethical. Just because my apple tree is next to the property line, doesn't mean my neighbor should pick the fruit off.  I keep my network secured, so if I found out someone was using my network without my permission, I would reset the password. I think if someone is sponging wifi, a verbal warning should be given first, then fines, and finally formal charges. If the cable company found out someone was getting free cable, the company would press charges against that person for theft. Those that leave their networks unsecured should not face punishment. In my opinion that would be like punishing someone for having their ATM card stolen. Just because you can access it, doesn't mean you should.

Employers and Facebook

I do not believe that employers should be allowed to ask for your facebook password. There could be sensitive information on you account in messages that you really don't want anyone to see. Things like how you feel after your abortion, how life has been since your gender reassignment surgery, or your strained relationship with someone. That is not anyone's business but yours and the person with whom the conversation is being held with.
I only see two ways to possibly combat this. Both involve telling your perspective boss you have no account. One way is to deactivate your account, this way you do not have an account the employers can snoop around in. The second option would be to use an alias. If your name is Sammie Joe, that is the name your employer is going to look for. If you go by an alias of Crappy Burritos, no employer is going to search for that.

My Experience With Microsoft Word

Until I had to do the faux research paper, I thought that Microsoft Word was something easy to use. Boy was I wrong. I'm not what you would call computer savvy, even for as young as I am. I truly didn't realize how computer illiterate I was. The only thing I actually found easy was the actual typing, ashamed as I am to admit it. I'm also using a fossil of Microsoft word. I had a hard enough time with it, I could only imagine how hard the newer version would be to navigate. I have a lot to learn.

What Punishment for Webcam Spying Is Appropriate?

Webcam spying should be comparable to other types of spying. It just wrong, especially in your own home where you have an expectation of privacy. Webcam spying is no better than having a peeping tom at your window. As far as in public, the law says that when you are in public, it is public domain, and there is no privacy. Technically, if you are in public, there is no such thing as spying, and technically it is more of a stalking issue, if done repetitively.

Should Apps Be Allowed to Track Your Location?

I don't believe apps should be able to track your location unless you specifically allow it, or unless it is an emergency, and the authorities need find you.Not knowing that these apps are tracking your location feels like an invasion of privacy.
I like most people do have an expectation of privacy when downloading an app. Unless it is a GPS app why does it need to track our whereabouts?
I don't believe under normal circumstances police should  track our GPS data without a warrant. I can see tracking someone that is on probation or parole, especially if they have a restraining order against them. For the average John and Jane Doe I don't see how it is necessary.
I have posted my whereabouts, "checking in" on a certain social network, but my house was also not left unattended. I don't think it is a smart idea to post your whereabouts. There is no telling who is waiting for you to be away from home. I feel that, "checking in" is a good way to get robbed or stalked.

Hello, my name is CJ. I'm not really the blogging type, this is my first.
I'm a student at my local community college, and this blog is part of an ongoing assignment.
Well, since this is supposed to be about technology, lets get to it. I feel that technology has turned our brains into jello, we no longer commit information to memory, because it is constantly at our fingertips. I mean really, how many phone numbers do you have committed to memory? I can promise the number isn't nearly as high as it was prior to the new millennia.
