Blog 8

Chapter 8 begins by talking about Computer Security and computer viruses. It categorizes viruses as either logic bombs or time bombs. It talks about virus detection and removal which is very important in order to keep your computer safe. Hardware theft and vandalism is also an important topic. Software theft is a growing problem now a days. Backing up you computer is stressed as the ultimate safeguard. Then it gets into privacy laws and copyright laws. The Children's internet protection act is discussed which was totally new to me. Parental controls are also important when it comes to keeping kids safe on the web.
This week I have learned a lot about Power Point. I never knew how to do slide transitions, add sound affects, or even animation until class on Wednesday. I really like the whole game board idea and hopefully with a little more practice with hyperlinks I will successfully finish the project.
This week has been really busy due to Homecoming. There have been events all week leading up to the parade tomorrow and PowWow which I am really excited about. I cant wait for the game on Saturday, we better beat those blue devils!!! Go Noles!

I agree with the Powerpoints being helpful. Even though they are a little hard to do sometimes...they are helpful.
