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.

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.
