Cyber Security and Apple– Discussion and Blog Post

I had a conversation with my mum and she said that apple shouldn’t let the FBI have access to all phones because she agreed with me that you never know if they are going to use the key for other customers that have apple phones. Also, if the company apple makes a key then other customers won’t want to buy from them anymore because they don’t want the FBI looking for their private information. Also, the FBI could come up to you or find you and accuse you of something that you didn’t do and make a mistaken assault your planning or something your hiding you don’t want people seeing/finding out about. I have a question that is if apple decides to make a key to access of all phone will they keep making new phones even though a good amount of customers won’t buy the new product? Because it’s a lot of technology and money to make 100 and 100 of phones. The FBI might take money from apple company so they won’t have enough money to make 100 and 100 of phones for people and the right technology.

Human Computer

When Clair told us that she was going to turn us into computers, I was confused. In the class we did the “Changing into computers” everybody had a role to do that a computer would do. I’m going to tell you which comands go together! The users>peripherals>bios>cpu>hard drive>RAM>Ram/hard drive>cpu>bios>pepherals>users. And that’s it! I was the fan so I was sitting in a chair watching everybody as they work. So I notice that the computer has to do a tun of things at the same time! Also what I learned was that the computer does alot of things. And you shouldn’t get frusterated  at it because it’s making you get things done by working and running. I learned that because my friends were having trouble getting everything ready and they slowed down. But It was really fun to do and I want to do it again!

Inside Out and Back Again By Thanhha Lai

The title of my book that I read is Inside Out And Back Again. Thanhha Lai is the author. The main character’s name is Ha. She is a 10 year old girl from South Vietnam.                                          The main problem in this book is that in Vietnam, where they live, there is a war happening. The war forces Ha’s family to make a difficult decision to leave their home country and move to the United States. This is an event that changes the story because they have to leave everything behind that they loved. For example Ha loves to eat sweet papaya, and when she arrives in the United States there is no papaya for her to eat and savor.                                                                                         Ha’s family escaped South Vietnam. At first Ha didn’t like the idea of moving because she had a beautiful life in Vietnam. By the end of the book the problem does get resolved. When Ha started school she was getting teased and bullied because she wasn’t like the other kids in her class. To the other classmates she looked different; her hair was brown and short, her skin tone wasn’t pale white, and she thought that the English language was weird and different. But by the middle of the school year she makes friends and allies to help her survive, and her pain and sadness about leaving Vietnam is relieved.                                                I enjoyed Inside Out And Back Again a lot because the way the writer wrote this book is unique. She wrote the whole book in poetry to tell a young girl’s story. I loved the book so much that when I was finished I wanted to have a sequel to read with it. The language drew me into the book! I give this book 5 stars, I would give it 100 but it said to only give it 1 to 5 stars!
