Response to Article

I like how the author mentioned the expansion of the game industry. With the technology we have today it's interesting to see how the game industry progressed and developed. Not only dod the technology help or gaming industry in america it allowed for a foreign import of games and consoles, one of which is the nintendo. It is also interesting to see that he talks about the negative side of video gaming as well. He knows video games aren't all about expansion and profit. He shows that there is an  antisocial aspect of gaming with our new technology advancing.

Response to the Film

When watching this film I already had some type of preconceived notion about it. I never knew the actual total number of deaths in the six year period of the war, but I knew of the deaths in the holocaust. I was surprised to find out that the Soviet Union had the most body count and was impacted by the war the more than I assumed. The presentation is a general projection of the death total in World War II compared to others before and after it's time as well. I liked how they used the sketch of a person to count as one thousand deaths. Using that as a unit of measure helps one understand the actual picture of deaths rather than a graph telling you what you may or my not already know.

Koko

My dog is idiotic. He willingly believes that he can catch water in his mouth when it comes from a hose. my dad and I laugh constantly at him because it does it frequently. he also loves doing it when my dad is trying to fill up the kiddie pool he bought for not only Koko but Kasper as well. Koko will submerge himself in the pool, while Kasper just dips his front paws in and drinks the water. He is still an adorable little puppy.

Phantom

I've been obsessed with the Phantom of the opera ever since my big sis showed it to me.

The title of the website is Wall321. There is no directly stated author.

This was most likely made with 2 or more images to help create an illusion of an elemental newton's cradle. It is a piece of digital art because it can't be painted naturally. An actual newton's cradle doesn't have the modifications that this picture allows it to have. Inputting different elemental aspects in the picture makes it a type of digital editing. A person can't create this without a computer because a computer can merge 2 or more images into one and without a computer someone can't do that.

I chose this image because of my fascination of the elements and science. I love the idea of the newton's cradle and the physics behind it. It also reminded me of my grandfather's law office, he has a newton's cradle on his desk. I also love the concept of the picture, wind or air is knocking into the other four, causing a chain reaction.
   

Ashley Madison Response

The members of the Impact team aren't despicable criminals. They were doing something they believed to be right. This team of hackers wanted to show the world that there are sites online that allow for things like marriage in society to be desecrated. The ashley madison website was technically given an ultimatum on the matter of shutting down their website. They refused and it caused their information and the customers of their sites information to be leaked and seen publicly. As owners of the site they should be protecting their customers. Since there is no law for someone to persecuted for cheating, the Ashley Madison website wasn't doing anything wrong. The hackers were doing a robin hood style just for the spouse that was affected by their spouse cheating. Even though The hackers did this to release information, it should have been done in a way that didn't leak customer information to the public.
