Whats going on is a new world that people rely on the machine. They can’t live on the surface of the world so they have to live in cells underground. It has two main characters a mom and son. He tells her that he has visited the surface of the Earth without permission, and without the life support apparatus supposedly required to endure the toxic outer air, and that he saw other humans living outside the world of the Machine. This machine later turns into a deity of sorts where people actually worship it.

                I really don’t agree with this vision of the future. To me this is like what if the world went bad and machines took over. It is very unrealistic here is no way we are going to be living in cells and worshiping a machine. To me the future will be better, not jail. We will have freedoms to do what we want and enjoy everything about our lives.  We won’t have to use breathing machines to go outside either. The future is going to be based on how technology is expanding. Technology is made to benefit mankind not hurt us so the future will be a better place. Im sure there will be more machines and it obviously wont be perfect but the world wont be as torturous as it is portrayed in this story. The way the author makes the future seem is actually scary and not a world I would like to live in.

My topic is education in the future. I think that education in the future will be all electronical and no paper products will be used. All papers will be submitted via dropbox, Class will be held over skype like programs so there will be no formal meeting as well. The medium I intend on using will be video. I would like to make a video of an ad for a school and show off the wonders of our school. We would emphasize on how technologically advanced we are and even in the new age we are still the leader in education and technology.

In today’s world privacy is hard to define. You can’t be private any more. With computers and online stuff somehow someone knows everything about you.  I think privacy should be that people only put information out that they want to be out there. 

I didn’t think I shared much information on facebook. I never gave my number out, didn’t give my address. Just two weeks ago I was looking on my facebook settings and found out that my cell phone number was on there. I couldn’t think of how it got on there but then I remembered it asked for my number as a form of password recovery. I didn’t know that they would be putting the information on my wall. I don’t want anyone who looks up my name to have my contact information people already can get your email just by how you log in.

One of the scariest things I’ve seen is was the website shown in class. My dad works for a pretty secured plant and our phone number isn’t even in the phonebook. I looked his name up and all of our information was on there.  It had our address the apartment complex my dad owns and our river house. All had the exact number of occupants as well. I didn’t pay but it said they had both of my parent’s salaries. That is very scary that they can have all of that information eve from someone who is not even in the phone book.
