Blog Assignment # 7

This year I have already asked my parents for what I want for my birthday which is coming up in a month. I have asked them for a Mac book pro computer, and my parents have agreed to give it to me so therefor there will be some changes. When I get my, computer I will be able to take it to school and finish my assignments there, it will make my life much easier because now I will be able to take my computer wherever I want and finish homework anywhere I can. This past year sometimes my family would go out to places without me because I had to stay home and finish my homework and since my computer was desktop I was never able to take it with me. I missed out on many family activities for the same reason. Although getting a new laptop will make my life much easier, I know that it will have an effect on me, based on what I've learned in this class, I will depend more on my computer to save data and to remember things for me, I will depend on it even more. We are living in a modern time where we depend on technology more than anything. I am now conscious that my information will be displayed online for the whole world, for the same reason I am going to take precautions as Mr.Yan recommended in the beginning of the year, I am going create passwords that consist of letters that are lower case and capital and numbers that only I know about and will remember. Since my life information will be out there it will be better that I take precautions.
