Infographic

I used Piktochart. I do think that it was the easiest site that I used and the template gave me a lot of opening to add whatever I wanted. Although, it is very hard to move around things and not get all of the other stencils, the lock feature comes in hand very often. What makes a good info-graphic is good facts and an equal amount of pictures with words and statistics. I think that my info-graphic turned out okay, I wish I didn't choose such a long template though. I also wish I didn't choose Piktochart because it was very hard to print.

Government vs. Apple



U.S. government, Apple take encryption case to court of public opinion
Apple vs. USA — what happened?


The government want’s Apple to make a code that can let them getting into a late terrorists phone from the San Bernardino shooting. Apple doesn’t want to do that because of the possibilities of it being used again and other people being able to hack into other Apple products. While the government has force on Apple and will most likely win the case, it shocks me that they are not handling this better. If they kept it on the down low and didn’t bother all of the media, Apple could have made the back door and all the cyber hackers would have never known. Apple has also "recommending four different ways to recover the data without building the backdoor" ( http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2016/02/20/apple-vs-usa-what-happened/80669574/ ). Apple has been trying to find another solution that doesn't involve a back door. But now that everyone and their mother seems to know about it, the risk of people hacking into Apple devices is very high. While in my opinion I do not think that the government should force Apple to make a back door, I do believe that they will make Apple. With the court order on it their most likely isn’t a way where Apple can get out of it. Apple making a back door is a serious invasion of privacy, they designed it for only the owner to get on it (http://www.apple.com/customer-letter/). In the end Apple will not get there way. We can only hope that the backdoor will not get into the wrong hands.

I wonder how will Apple respond if they are forced to make the back door? Do you think that the people of the jury will be bias when they are brought in to judge?

There has been a new revolution in the production of cars. Imagine the average driver being able to drive without paying any attention, on their phones even. This dream can be possible, with the new tech that's being tested. The program has created a way for the car to be able to detect and see any distractions that are upcoming. They can see any animals, sudden changes of any cars around them, even people walking through. The cars that are still being tested seem to be perfectly safe so far. In case the thought of a speeding vehicle down the road when a group of children are walking terrifies you, there is no reason. There is over 1,000 programs of all the possible pedestrians that can walk through. While the video itself was very informational, an overall review of it is that while the presenter has an extremely bland personality and voice it is still an interesting video. The driver-less car would not have any one in it, while the driver-assisted car does have someone in it. One day driver-assisted cars might be our future.

1.) What generation would be the most opposed to this in your opinion?

2.) Will it be necessary to have all the other safety protocols and improve on them in the future?
