Journal Entry #1: Digital Security

      
          When it comes to digital security and creating passwords, what I find the most surprising is how easy it is for computers to figure out passwords nowadays. It is kinda mind blowing how much thought you have to put into a single password.  When I tested the password I created or the one I most commonly use, the website told me it would take a computer 3 thousand years to crack. Based on the information in this section, I think most of my passwords are not secure enough. I usually choose things that are easier to remember when creating passwords and don't give them very much thought, after all most passwords I create are only for social media sites. KeePas however, offers features that would help with managing my passwords like a master password that consist of all your passwords put together into one. As well as strong security, multiple user keys, and a strong random password generator. However, when considering password selection and digital security, I believe the most important thing to remember is what the password is protecting and it's importance to you, as well as obviously being able to remember that password and keep it protected as you will need it in the future.

My Basic Automobile Design

Freeze Machine*         I decided to use a van/SUV type of body style to base my design off of, I got the idea of designing a little ice cream truck then went from there. Some features that I would want included in the final design that I may not have been able to include in this basic first phase design are just little things like doors on the sides and in the back, a sliding door that opens up the side window, and added details on things like the ice cream cone on the top. I will name my car the Freeze Machine* and I think perhaps an ice cream company paired with any car manufacturer would be best suited to introduce my car into the industry. Any type of driver that sells ice cream would most likely find my car appealing as it would attract attention to their company. I would place this assignment at a 6/10 for difficulty as it took a bit of time to get used to Tinkercad's controls and to come up with a creative idea for the design.

Journal Entry #3: Digital Rights and Responsibilities

      What I find to be the most surprising when it comes to digital rights and responsibilities is how little people pay attention to them. Many times, as I am scrolling through Facebook or Instagram,  I see so many disrespectful comments, post and statuses, sometimes even directed towards specific people. However, I do believe that most people do act responsibly online, posting to share with their friends and family, commenting positive things, and thinking before they post.  If I had to pick one commandment out of the ten I created, the most important to me would be,  " Thou shall respect people of other languages, cultures, sexual orientation and religion while online." I think this one is the most important as I see the most hate spread about these topics on social medias. Among young people , I think the biggest issue surrounding digital rights and responsibilities is respect and privacy. These days it seems people are not satisfied with living th...
