What is the benefit of easily connecting to people and information?

The benefit is you can easily connect to people and information easily. Back a long time ago it would take weeks or months to contact people that weren't nearby. Now it takes seconds with very little effort. The only thing that could be done for contacting people that were far away was by writing letters.  Today we have email, social networking sites, phones for calling and text messaging, and a bunch of other tools on the internet.

What Kind of Application I Would Make

If I could make an application, I would probably make a game. I think it would be intense and games sell pretty well so I could make a bit of money off it. If I didn't make a game I would probably make some sort of tool to help people, although I'm not sure what exactly.

Software Suites

A software suite is a collection of seperate application programs bundled together and made available as a group. It is cheaper to buy a suite than all the applications invididually.
Productivity suites you can buy and use for buisiness work. They are professional-grade application programs.
Alternate office suites you can download off the internet for free. The downside to this is if you share or save a document on the internet with an application depends on the server that is providing the application.

How can technology be used to create?

Technology can be used to create software and applications.  Applications, like those found on an iPhone or iPod, are small programs. Some you can play games on and some do things like check the weather and check your email.

And using technology to create is sort of easy but sort of complicated.  Anyone could do it, but only more experienced people can design more complicated applications and software.

iPods

iPods are basically portable music players that can hold large amounts of memory. The creator of the iPod is the company Apple. There is a lot of different models of the iPod so different people can get what they want for their needs. Most of the newer models are touch screens. Touch screens are controlled by your fingers. The previous models of the iPod mostly had small finger pads you used to control what is going on.

Write one to three paragraphs explaining everything you know or think you know about how computers work.

All I know about how computers work is when you push the "On" button, they turn on.  And if you click on stuff then it will open or do something else if you want it to. I also know that you can save stuff on your computer because it has memory.

When using computers and the internet, what are the threats to personal privacy and how can we protect ourselves?

One huge threat is viruses. If you go to a website that contains a virus or you open an email that contains a virus your computer will become infected with one, usually more though. To prevent this, only give your email address to websites you trust and that don't look suspicious. Also, don't click on random advertises. Especially ones that say things like "Click here for a free laptop." One reason is its a scam no doubt and another reason is, there may be a virus on the link or website, so don't risk it.

If you aren't good at prevention of getting a virus you can use an antivirus software. Most are free and they are easy to use. Also, most computers come with an antivirus software, so you don't have to search for one.

If your computer does get a virus, the creator of the virus can see your personal documents and information and other things like that. Some viruses will even give the creator control of your computer. Unfortunately, getting rid of viruses isn't always easy, so just don't get one in the first place.

How can technology keep track of you, your friends and everyone else?

Technology, such as computers, can help keep track of people by use of things like social networking sites. They allow people to talk to eachother and keep in touch even if they are on the other side of the world. There is many of them and some of them include Facebook and Myspace. Most social networking sites are not like any other. They serve the same purpose but work a little differently, so you can pick which one you like the most.

What is the role of technology in creating new products?

      Technology is very important in creating new products. It helps in creating medicine and other stuff to save people's lives, and make them easier. The most popular products are probably iPods and cell phones, and these are things tons of people use everyday.     
      Technology is definitely a huge part of this world today.  Almost every person owns some piece of technology. I also think technology will be even more important in the world in the future and forever.

How does technology ceate career opportunities?

If you are really good with a computer and you know all about them you could get a good job. There is a ton of jobs out there that require people who are good with computers.
