Ethics

I think that ethics are a very touchy subject and it is a subject that many care very strong opinions about. I found the sections about conflict of interests and privacy to be the most interesting. These two topics seem to be the most talked about in my eyes. I don't know how many times in school, work, even in families ethics are discussed and privacy or conflicts arise. No matter where you look everyone will have their own opinion, it just means you have to be respectful of others and be considerate of what they want.

Internet Safety

With playing these games for child internet safety they really do show the children what to look for. The only problem with this is that how many parents are really going to show their children these sites. Out of the websites that I looked at the only one that I didn't like was the AT&T one. It didn't seem to me that it would keep the kids occupied. The others seemed to be a little bit more interesting.

Censorship

I feel that censorship should not have to be done by the companies, as a society we should handle it on our own. However this is not that case, many parents do not look at the sites their children visit or much less care, which means that the companies are the ones looking out for those children. I think it is nice that stuff is censored just because I for one do not like to see a lot of curse words and foul things on sites when I am looking at them. So all in all I think that even though these companies aren't all being appreciated for what they do I think they are doing what they feel is right and should continue to do it.

Green Screen

Personally I am not a fan of Drew Carey's show. To me it is childish and doesn't actually demonstrate anything worth watching. The green screen works because it makes a solid background which is easier to manipulate with a computer to whatever you would like it to be. Actually it is very easy for anyone with a few computer skills to manipulate. So far I would have to say that out of movies that I know use a green screen transfomers or fast and furious would be my favorites although I know there are many more movies and shows that use it without anyone even realizing it.

The Great Train Robbery

This film seemed to have an overall excitement and suspense. I believe that when it would have first came out it would have been a very good movie, as for now we have advanced much further in the film world so this is a very 'boring' movie to me. I did however like the fact that when there are no voices or dialog it gives you the ability to make your own and give the story line the twist you want. Overall I would not like to be stuck watching these types of films on a daily basis.
