lucky #8

Chapter eight talks about computer viruses. It tells you what it is and how it spreads, signs of virus infection, virus detection and how to remove it, and the use of antivirus programs. It later talks about governmental laws concerning privacy, parental control and children acts(big fan), and internet ethics in general. I personaly like the Apple's remote desktop which allows teachers to keep an eye on ALL the computer screens in a classroom. I think it is extremely important to make sure no obscene material is viewed by a student, particularly one of an elementary or secondary level. I want to teach middle school and as a teacher and a parent, I think it is necessary to do our part in keeping our kids free from internet perversion.

Ofcourse all educators need to understand the meaning and function of copyright laws. As a college student we all know that Plagiarism is wrong and that it can jeapordise our student status in the worst possible way. It is a serious matter and it should be addressed firmly within every classroom.

A world without wires is an amazing thought. My mom can't hardly believe computers exist let alone cellphones and other wireless gadgets. It's great to be a part of it all but I'm sure by the time my daughter is an adult, I wont believe the magnification of the technology of her time. Such is life:/

I hate viruses. They are a pain. Technology amazes me all the time, with the size and capabilities a small gadget has.

I know, it's interesting to think of what technology will be like when our kids are grown up!

I think about how fast the technological world is moving and it blows me away. by the time my children are my age computers will be a thing of the past. Look at our parents and the typewriter

I prefer not to use antivirus software, as it mostly just junks up the memory and adds annoying pop-ups. That's just my two cents.
