Review
The two largest computer software companies, Microsoft & Apple, make the operating and programs that are pre-installed on most computers.

Is there any problem with simply using the products that these two companies create for us?

- Since they contain some restrictions, we cannot modify or delete. This action ( pre-installed) may slow down our computers.
( as some programs that not all of us really use).... It is not user friendly at all.
eg. Micsoft's vista -"bloatware".

-

Why do some people choose to use open-source software such as Linux?

- it is because there are different kinds of software for us to choose
- it is free for us..
- Some softwares can be edit... it can meet our own need...

Who own the right to modify your digital tools? Does it matter at all? Why or Why not?

the owner of these softwares.

it causes some problems for us.
For examle, it wastes our memory. We don't really need some programs at all ..but we cannot delete it.
However, some people, including me, don't know computer very much. thus, it may not a problam at all. As pre-installed can provide us a basic software. it is easy for the new users to do the simple work with computer.

In additon, there are open-source software. we just download what thing we want to suit our need. it is not necesscary for us to modify it. if we don't like it, we can just delete and download another one. so it is not a problam.

3. Which encyclopedia was most useful for this research?

Wikipedia

-it is more convenient that we can hear the knowledge and news at once by someone who edits
( I think it is the important point. we should make good use of the benefit of internet that is uploading information everytime and every where. )
- Encyclopedia Brittannica>> is less useful because we need to wait for the expert from it to write an article. They cannot publish the article as fast as Wikipedia does.

-it contains must more information

-it encourages us to think about some of information from there as we all know that Wiki is open for everyone to edit and we believe that there must have some mistakes.
(if we know that Encyclopedia Brittannica, will we still think the information carefully ?)

4. Can you trust this encyclopedia 100%? Why or why not?

I don't think so.
some informations may be wrong as the information there can be edited by everyone.
In addition, even the information is written by expert, there may also have some mistakes.
thus, we can't trust it 100%...
And critical thinking is a must when we find information from the internet.

a) According to the short video, how have these technologies improved the way that knowledge is stored, created and shared?

Pros:
save time to store and find the information
we can share the knowledge goblely easily eveywhere and time
more interaction within the writier and reader
more people involve to create knowlege
can exchange the world at once
knowledge is shared by a funny way eg.video and picture ,unlike the traditional encyclopedies

Cons:
everybody can edit the knowledge without professional knowledge
May be unreliable, misunderstanding
people may just copy the knowledge and don't thinking
less creativity of someone
knowledge may be stolen

Wt are some pros and cons of the internet and new computer technologies?

In my opition, the pros of internet are many.

1. The internet make our life more convenient. For example, we can through the internet to meet people all our the world. We can share the photo within friends by using some internet tool like facebook to get their news.

2. The internet encourages people to express their opition and create their own artwork. Nowadays, people show their photos or feeling on their own blog or forum is very commen.

3. it is easy for us to do a research

4. it brings more topics for people to discuss or more chance for people to have interaction.

5. it's convenient for us to hear the news all over the world.

6. We can translate different languages by some softwares.

7. New technology let our life more wonderful. mobile phone with difficult functions is a good example. it makes us more easy to take photos to have a memory from every time and eveywhere. some mobile also has sound recorder and that can convenient me, as a student to record what professor said in class.


New technologies also have their own cons.

1. We may depend too much on them and become lazy or habituate on it. As a result, we talk lesser and lesser with others as well as having a lower make in exam.

2. Our personal information may be discovered by some Trojan horse.

3. The popularization of internet destories the creative industry as people share and download music, movie without right easier by using some point-to-point software.

4. More and more accidents has been brought by these new technogies. eg. the new product of Apple - Iphone 3GS was reported by the news that the tounch screen was broken suddenly and made someone hurt.
