How are all of my fellow classmates doing? I am finally back online and loving it! There is nothing like being able to work from the comfort of your own home. I am not sure what the problem was with my computer, or why I was "kicked off" of the Internet for the past week. The technician said that part of the problem was the number of connections that I had going to the computer and I had a modem that I did not need. The tech also suggested that I clean my system. I need to do some back ups and take my computer in for a "refresh", it does run rather slowly. I would really like to get a new computer. Any suggestions?

This week, I really enjoyed reading the responses to the "Privacy vs. Security" discussion. Some of my classmates really made some thought-provoking arguments to support their positions. Even positions that I didn't totally agree with were argued in such a way that I could actually put myself in that classmate's shoes. I don't really believe there is such a thing as privacy where government is concerned. I feel that we are given just enough security to make us feel as though we have a right to privacy. The discussion board this week has been quite an eye-opener for me.
