Critique of Glogster:
Glogster is a website that allows you to create an online poster board. It provides you with one long homepage and possible links to other websites. You can create images, videos and sound effects on glogster. It also allows you to set a background for your whole web page. Glogster does not allow you create autoplay videos or sounds the users must trigger them for it to start playing. A downside of glogster is that you can only create the homepage on glogster, any link that you want to create on glogster must be separately created and linked. Another downside of glogster is that it works better for school projects and informal presentations rather than creating a serious website. Glogster is designed to create colorful and engaging rather than professional presentations. Completed glogster presentations have an informal feel to them and are not suitable for businesses or other serious organizations.

This website uses exaggerated pictures and effects while any actual content is smothered by useless side effects.

This website has a an unneeded video that plays automatically and detracts from its content. It also has several large and unneeded pictures and several loud and useless sound effects.

1. I would not, at the moment build my own computer as I am not yet  fully acquainted with the computer components and I feel I would need more knowledge to do so. However, If I had to purchase a computer with a low budget or had to tailor a computer to very specific specifications I would strongly consider building my own computer.
2.The advantages of building your own computer are that it is often cheaper and the computer can be built exactly how you want it. The disadvantages of building one's own computer are that it is far more time-consuming than buying one and if something goes wrong there is no-one you can turn to for help.
For my friends and family I would recommend building their own computers if they were well-acquainted with computer technology.

7. Steve Jobs left Apple Computers because of his domineering style and inability to get along with his employees. He still had brilliant ideas but he was becoming difficult to work with. He was dividing his company into factions which was causing problems and destabilizing the company. 8. Final Question: Steve Jobs and Bill Gates had an enormous positive affect on our world and economy. They both stole technology/ However, that technology might never have been put to good use if they had not commandeered it. Personal computers have made our lives much easier and happier in addition to greatly aiding our economy and creating a new industry that may lead to future advances. Business pioneers have never strictly adhered to moral principles monopolies and price-fixing have dominated new ideas and Apple and Microsoft's indiscretions were minor in comparison.

1. I found a paper like screen on the article we read. This was very interesting because it would make use of computer's much more easy and portable.

2. The chips that can be implanted in food to monitor consumption were somewhat unsettling because they could be used unethically.

Counter-Examples for Ten Commandments of computers:
1. Sending people e-mails or other forms of information that say rude, insulting or condescending things is inconsiderate and morally reproachable.
2. Distracting people in real life while they are trying to work on the computer.
3. Going into people's computer's without their consent or presence.
4. Taking someone's work over the computer or taking any physical parts of one.
5. Saying or insinuating that a person has done something, illegal, morally wrong, or against the the rules on the computer, when they have not is lying about them and is wrong.
6. Stealing a program someone else is using their work without paying for it and equates to plagiarism or theft of intellectual property.
7. Taking someone's computer without their permission to do work violates this principle.
8. Stealing someones work such as a paper or other assignment without their permission is plagiarism and is clearly immoral.
9. A program that is being written deliberately in order to facilitate insulting or downgrading large groups of people (or even individuals) is clearly ignoring or even embracing negative social consequences.
10. Someone using a computer to insult someone else in a paper or on the internet is clearly disrespectful.
