1. Define RDBMS.
-Relational Database Management System: This way, the same database can be viewed in many different ways and can be spread or opened/seen in different places.
2. Identify 3 tables that could be part of a doctor’s office patient relational database.
-The patient's history/background/records
-The patient's updates/improvements
-The patient's "plan" for the future and what's to be done
3. Searching the database to find specific information is called a
query.
4. Why are we concerned about electronic databases?
-Because we use them more and more nowadays.
5. Explain 3 different types of S/E issues related to online databases.
-Security: Maybe it isn't safe to have your info where people can have access to it.
-Control: Other people control these databases.
-Equality of Access: Not just anyone can have access to these databases, but if certain people do, it can affect you negatively.
6. What is something we need to protect electronic databases from? What can be used to protect them?
-I have no idea.

presentations/essays notes
Privacy of info in diff cultures
Information you put of yourself on the internet isn't always "safe"
It can harm us. In China, the information of someone who uses the internet is kept for 60 days (information like: address, phone number, ID, etc.)
Rights of Indivdual w/respect to storage of personal data
Social consequences of release of sensitive data stored in databases
you can be mistaken for another person, and be accused/assaulted. All anyone has to do is take ur hard drive to steal your data.
Ethical Issues related to selling data
Paper Files vs Electronic Files
Elec. files are used more in businesses. Electronic files are easier to use for searching files. All you have to do is query info wanted instead of going one-by-one to find it. It allows more than one person to look at one copy of a database, unlike paper, because there would be only one copy. People can be across the globe and still see the same thing as someone somewhere else. Nothing can be deleted unless you take it off the hard drive itself, whereas with paper, you just need to burn or shred it to get rid of it completely.
Responsibilities for security of data
Social Consequences of outdated or incorrect info on databases
If a database has incorrect info about you, if they want to send you something, someone else would get it. If they have the wrong info, and they get someone else's identity, you will get information and spam, ads from those people that have nothing to do with you. It all belongs to someone else. You won't get the services that you need. Other people might get it instead.

Questions (warm ups)
-Explain why computer based translators often perform translation badly.
Computer based translations don't really "understand" the context of the words that are being used and how they're being used. What the computer based translation does is take each word and "translate" it literally to the other language. It might make sense in one language but not another, or the verb can come first instead of the subject and noun in one language, but in another language it's set up differently. It depends on the kind of translation errors it makes, but that is usually the case.
-How Markup Language works.
Markup Language is a "language" used that the computer can identify, for example http, html, etc.

Criterion I
For my project, I'll be making a cook book filled with recipes by the "Fattouh-e's" and other family friends that we use daily. These recipes are unique and would be good for others who are still learning how to cook or just want to try something new.
I will be going around adding recipes of my own and from other family members. I'll actually be cooking/making these recipes and take pictures of them to add in my cook book. Every time I make one of the recipes, I'll add the ingredients and instructions as I go. Finally, I'll put it all together in a certain format so that it will be easily put together as a "book". Then, I'll print it out at Kinko's in book form, and I might even be able to distribute/sell them to others. Also, this was a project my sister and I had been wanting to work on for a while (for the family at least), and now others can benefit from it as well.

Discussion Questions (4-6) HOMEWORK
4) I think that it can work both ways. It secures the user's privacy and at the same time it can help computer criminals do their job a lot easier with that extra help.
5) I wouldn't mind it as long as it's not something that, in a way, "controls" me or "monitors" me. But if I had to choose between two jobs, one with it and one without it (and I liked the jobs both the same), I would probably go with the one without the active badges.

page 379 Review Questions 10 & 11
10) In what ways can computer security protect the privacy of individuals? In what ways can computer security threaten the privacy of individuals?
- It protects the privacy of an individual because it allows them to keep things to themselves and not let things get out to others.
-It can threaten the privacy of individuals because there are computer thieves, hackers, software pirates, viruses, spy bots, wiretaps, and so forth that come with the computer securities. With all of the information that we give about ourselves to a machine that sends information to who knows where, we are then under the government's control. They can tap our calls and read our e-mails, monitor what we're doing, and data transmissions.
11) What are smart weapons? How do they differ from conventional weapons? What are the advantages and risks of smart weapons?
- Smart weapons are missiles that use computerized guidance systems to locate their targets.
- Advantage: If everything works properly, smart weapons can reduce the amount of civilian destruction.
- Risk: They reduce the amount of time people have to make life-and-death decisions. Decision time decreases, and error increases.

7) What are the two inherent characteristics of computers that make security so difficult?
- Bugs and Breakdowns. Computers are just one long chain of technologies and we rely on them a lot. If one BIG power fails, then it affects so many others.
8) Describe several different computer security techniques and explain the purpose of each.
- Passwords/eye and fingerprint scanning keeps people from stealing user's information.
- Firewall keeps the programs inside a computer secured.

notes on 366-368 (HW)
There have been so many computer crimes happening lately and the federal and state gov'ts needed to do something about it. People got away with so much, and finally the gov't decided to take action by creating laws against hackers and other people who commit crimes using technology (i.e. identity theft). Some have had their computers confiscated while others have been arrested and jailed.
Telecommunications Act of 1996 attempted to deal with things like "what kind of communications are legal online?" More laws came up because the questions were endless. So, other laws came up to try to put a stop to these offenses and criminal acts because so many innocent people are paying for it. There are still more problems that are to be solved by future lawmakers. This is just one of the many things that lawmakers have to face to be able to protect us and our rights, especially with all of these technological advances that have gotten people to commit such crimes.

Review Questions pg 379 #s 2 &4
2) Why is it hard to estimate the extent of computer crime?
- We can't really estimate how many people commit computer crimes or even how far the computer crimes go because some people commit computer crimes without even knowing it. Some do it intentionally, but even then not all crimes are recorded or dectected. Therefore, we don't know for sure, nor can we estimate.
4) What is the most common computer crime?
- Software Piracy. It is a violation of intellectual property laws.
Who commits it?
- The crime itself is committed by millions of people, even if they don't realize they're doing it, but it can also be committed by young people who are smart with computers (hackers). But even then, hackers are responsible for only a small fraction of computer crimes. The computer criminal is usually someone who is trusted with personal things and has knowledge of the computer system.
What is being done to stop it?
- Because of all the computer crimes, many organizations developed a new security techniques to protect their system. (i.e. keys, scanners, badges, etc.)
