Peace One Day

I feel like world peace is not possible because as hard as we try people around the world even someone right next to you has different opinions and they feel very strongly about those opinions. As hard as we try to find common grounds with people we can always find something to argue about. It would take one idea that everyone participates in and everyone feels strongly about. I could talk to the people around me and see what we have in common and see how many other people on a global scale have the same things in common. I would be willing to do a lot of things to try world peace but in the end it wouldn't work because someone out there will find a problem with it and than that will be the end of it. It could be possible for a period of time but it will eventually end.

Caine's Arcade

a. How did the internet changed the life of Caine Monroy?
          The internet changed Caine's life  because by posting the same thing on a couple of websites they got hundreds of people came to his arcade but and before he has only had one customer 

b. What are the advantages and disadvantages of "being connected"? 

          The advantages are that you can spread information and ideas faster as well as being able to hear about events and the ideas/information from other people. The disadvantages can be that it takes up all your time and you begin to procrastinate the important things, or you stop connecting with the real world and you lose your people skills over time. 

c. How can you use the Internet to further your brand?

           I can use the internet to further my brand because I can spread my ideas on websites that many people visit and end up meeting new people because of it and we can share ideas whether different or alike.

Avi Rubin

Avi Rubin's video was alarming because I knew things could be hacked, but I didn't know that it could happen to a car or a heart defibrillator. Both of those things can kill a person. The cars brakes can be applied or disconnected cause the car to crash or be crashed into. Finding these things out was shocking  and it has made me more aware of what goes on without me even knowing it is happening.
