Session 2 articles.
Although I felt that the articles under Session 2 were a little long and boring to read, I felt that each article had some good things to talk about.
I liked how the first article talked about how modern computer technology has changed and influenced the way the world sees and uses computers. As the demands and needs of the world change, I feel that computers can help relieve social and physical burdens that exist presently and in the future. As computer technology is constantly changing to meet and satisfy the needs and demands of individuals, I feel that people will change their attitudes about computers and look at them more as friends than foes.
Articles 2 to 6 talked about how and whether computer use should be regulated by the U.S government or by society. Although I feel that Americans have the freedom to express their thoughts and feelings online, I feel that some Americans abuse their freedom and free speech to intentionally cause physical or mental harm upon others. For this reason, I feel that there needs to be some government intervention in monitoring what people are saying and doing online. I know that the U.S government spying on what individuals do and say online is a direct violation of our free speech and our sense of privacy from the world, but I feel that tax payers pay their taxes to the U.S government, in order for them to enforce and provide a sense of national security in the U.S. I feel that the U.S government is more concerned about catching online criminal and terrorists who may pose a danger to the U.S than learning more about what an individual did over the weekend.
Business competition is something that U.S consumers and businesses have continously demands and needs for. Business competiton allows businesses to work hard to meet the demands of consumers and work hard to maintain the need and importance of thier business in society. For consumers, business competetion allows for consumers to have the power and choice to make economical decisons that best meet their social and physical demands. If little or no business competetion existed, consumers will be forced to make decisions that they may feel are not best suited for their social, economical and physical demands.
For businesses, lack of or no business competion may prevent them from truly meeting the physical, social and economical demands of consumers. As a result, businesses may lose potential profit in areas where there are particular goods and services that consumers may demand, but no services that offer them. Also, lack of or no business competion may prevent businesses from having the motivation and drive in working to continously meet the changing needs and demands of the consumers. As a result, business may fall behind in meeting the changing needs and demands of consumers.
Although I feel that blogs allow people to truly express their thoughts and feelings in an intellectual or non-intellectual manner, I feel that there needs to be some established rules and norms on a blog website. Without norms or rules, people can easily write vulgar or threatening messages to others. This would mean that anyone can threaten another person, if they do not like what someone said. Also, I feel that anything writen can be offensive for a reader, but like anything written, words and messages can be taken out of context. Without a voice accompanying a blog, there is no way for a reader to know about the tone of the blog or how it is suppossed to be written. I feel that if the U.S government wants to monitor my blogs for the sake of preserving and maintaining U.S security, I do not mind them reading and monitioring my blogs. I feel that the U.S government is more concerned about catching and monitoring potential U.S threats and terrrorits attacks than knowing more about how a person's day went.
I am satisifed with the U.S government's current work of monitoring and tackling potential threats to the U.S and its citizens.
