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.
