So after read this old story it
funny to see that even back then society had a problem with over sharing. While
the computers or as they are referred to by the story Logics made it easy to
find out useful info on anything you wanted to know much like the computer have
today for our generation. These logics are connected to a tank that connects
them to all the other tanks, sound a lot like the internet and Google. Want to
find something today just up on a computer and open your web browser and search
Google and you can find almost anything you want. Even things that you want to
keep hidden from other show up, just like the wife showed in the story. She
was part of the problem, she told her
husband to fix it but while he does she was going to look out other before it
gets fixed and hopes that no one looks her info. She like most people in our
society today wanted to find all the dirt on everyone else but didn’t want
anyone to see anything about them. Its much like social media today, everyone
laughs and makes fun of others, while only posting a select few thing here and
there that make them look good, and un-tagging themselves in anything that
makes them look bad. So now to fix the problem is to restrict and censor info
but that takes time to sort though and see what should be allow to view and
what should be hidden from the public eye. While shutting down the system and
figuring out all this would work, society has become to reliant on
computer/logics. Shutting them down would also stop everything else at the same
time. Its like the creation of anything that came before. Power for example,
people were able to live and get thing done before, but now that we have it we
can see do thing the old way.

The building of a dell and its supply chains have worked together with
others (HP and IBM) in the creation of a collaborative unified code of social
responsible practices of manufacturing around the world. While supply chains
with a scenes of responsibility is a great thing for the world consumer. Not
all supply chains are a great thing for the open market the world has come to
enjoy. Al Qaeda is a supply chain of death. They work like any other supply
chain only they provide chaos and death. Their beliefs are shared and create
new bombers as the last one is used. This supply chain works on the openness
and trust that the world as come accustom to, attacking this creates a fear
that hinders the advancement of the open shrinking flatting world. Supply chain
are the key to advancing the world. They allow companies to get thing as
needed. The better the chain the cheap a finished product can be created. This
also allows for new countries to advance and meet the needs of the new supply
chains and be part of the flatten world. But for this to happen those counties
need to be on they’re way up. But for this they need power economic, political,
and electrical. For this there is a cheap way to do this till they can advance
to something better. This cheap source is oil. But oil is also a curse. First
there is the limited supply of it and everyone trying to get it for this reason.
Then it’s a cheap fuel that can power any nations regardless of its technical advancements
or lack of. But unfortunately it has a major draw back of harming us and the
planet with its pollution.

Computer changing the way to educate
Computers the way of the future.
But computer have been around from when I was a kid. Sure they weren’t as
common as they are now that everyone has their own personal computer. As a kid
my family had one that use the big black floppy disks and ran on DOS. With them
being around for so long they had to changed the way things were done in the past
as well. When I first started going to school I remember having to go to the
library and looking up a subject in the reference section on those little white
index cards telling you what book had the info you wanted and were it should be
in the library if it hadn’t been checkout or miss placed on the wrong shelf or
worst wrong section. But in middle school things started to change for the
better. Computer were getting cheaper that public schools had enough of them
that they were useful and more so the internet. That made looking up a topic
easier, having all the information for a report the teacher had me doing. It
made life easier, plus I didn’t have to try and find the book before someone
else checked it out from the library. With me that’s a good thing I work well
under pressure, so naturally I'm also a procrastinator so getting the info at
any hour and not worry about the book being there is always great. But that’s
not the only way computers change education for me, the way a turn in my
reports changed as well. Before I had to hand write them a few pages but now I
had to type them up, which was nice for me as I cant spell to save my life and
the red swingy line that Microsoft put in Word is my friend. Without spell
check my reports would have looked like they came from a kid with a simpler
vocabulary. With them all nicely typed I just had to printing them up double
space so the teacher could add their red little notes in the space in-between.
Then it got even easier when I didn’t have to print it out any more just email
to him or her. Those were the easy days of high school. But computer have now
made it that I can go to school from anywhere. I'm now in the military and that
makes me move and travel quite a bit. Which I love to see new place, with
computer and every college/university allowing me to take on-line classes like
this one I don’t have to worry about going on a temporary assignment in another
state or around the world. If a deployment comes up I know that all I have to
do is let my professors know that Ill be off line for a week or so for travel
time and in processing and anything else while I get reset up, which most of
the time I just get the work done early. So my MacBook is my classroom. It
doesn’t matter if I'm at work, sitting on my living sofa, or deployed half way
around the world. As I have a internet connection I can go to school.
