Our Group Presentation Theme

Our group presentation is, “Privacy & Security”. Below are the members of our group and their topics:

• Alex – HTTPS & CAPTCHA
• Heather – FaceBook & E-mail
• Brittany – Hackers: Maltego & Passwords
• Jessica – Personal Financial Information
• Nicole – Sex Offenders & Predators

Although we are only covering several items on this subject, there are many more ways that you can protect yourself and your family online. As technology progresses, so will the advancement and methods of losing your privacy and security.

Do we really have privacy and are we really secure? Just like the physical world that we live in, if someone really wanted to get into our cars & homes, they will find a way no matter how secure we make it.

Online Entertainment 10 Years From Now

Several years ago, I was imagining being able to listen/watch songs, movies, and TV shows whenever I wanted to. Today, it is all possible. Only if I capitalized on this and got a patent…I do have several ideals of new technology that I’ve shared with others and several lingering in my head. Some have entered the market and some still on the drawing board.

It’s hard to predict where online entertainment will be in 10 years, but if I were to use my psychic powers, I would say that the cable companies will be extinct. With the high prices and competition with the internet, it’s going to be pretty interesting to watch their downfall.

Your Presentation Topic

My presentation topic was about ABS (Antilock Braking System) Platform. I tried relating our class discussion on “platform” with the automotive industry. I added my presentation video to my HTML blog located below or you can follow this link http://vap-tech.blogspot.com/2011/10/html-basics.html
