"What Punishment for Webcam Spying Is Appropriate?"

"Should webcam spying be comparable to other types of spying?" Well yes I do, to me spying is spying no matter the means you use to do it. 
"What kind of privacy should you expect when you are in a public place?" I would like to have the same kind of privacy that I have in a private area, however from what I've read that is not the case.   If a news paper or TV reporter ask permission before using your picture then I feel the same should be true from a webcam standpoint.  

Now that I know that my webcam can be accessed without my knowledge and take pictures of me and my surrounds makes me want to place something over it unless I'm using it so if it is hacked or turned on by a software program then they will just see a black screen.

Learning Office 2013



This week we have learned about Office 2013, Most of this I have done before on older programs.  I bought my new laptop at the beginning of this year which has Windows 8 and Office 2013. My last laptop had Windows Vista, so imagine my shock when I was introduced to Windows 8. The Office 2013 is a little different on the layout of the programs I’ve used in the past but you mostly maneuver the same as older programs, so I feel this week has been more of a refresher for me on the things that I haven’t had to do in a while.  The lecture noted and book proved helpful with the pictures to demonstrate what was being said.  I thought the assignments where very easy to complete. I use the program daily to keep my different classes assignments organized and I had done most of these things before on older programs throughout educational experiences.  I look forward to when we reach the chapters that will help me learn the full potential of my laptop and all the things I haven’t learned yet.
