What is the firewall there for?
It's there to maintain balance and order, to keep illegal information away from it's citizens.
Why does China want to restrict what people can view?
Because China wants power of it's people. Freedom on the Internet is not tolerated.
What are some things that are blocked by the firewall?
Social sites such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as most/everything owned by Google. Anything that lets people share opinions and any sites that allows people to talk badly/read badly of China.
Do you agree with their choice to block these sites? Are they all bad? Are some sites good?
Well. I think it's stupid, they are just making the people be unaware and keep everyone in an unknown ignorance. They have to much pride to show who they really are, what they really were.
As for the sites, some of them are bad. But that's normal. A lot shouldn't be blocked, but again, it's their excessive amount of pride that shows through.
What is Internet censorship?
Internet Censorship; the control or suppression of accessing and publishing of information on the Internet. Usually done by government or private organizations.
How do you feel about all these shenanigans?
I personally think it's all just stupid stuff. I mean, it's the Internet. There is a lot worse stuff you can do or look up. I don't think a country should have that power. I think it's a bit to far. It kinda is an infringement of human rights, you lose the power of free speech, which is one of mans strongest weapons.
People shouldn't be afraid of it's government, the government should be afraid of it's people

2057 Body, City and World questions
The World;
1. Within reason, none of them are useless. But in time, they would almost be needed.
Space Elevator is kinda silly, because it would only go to a space station, which is most likely not for access to anyone but specific people. Rendering it useless.
Although, the hand phone thingy is pretty damn good;
2. The hand phone would be amazing. Quick and easy to use, although probably not cheap. It seems to have unlimited range.
The City;
1. I don't think any are usless, because they were all explained as if they were needed and had no bad repurcustions.
2. Everything shown seemed to be without flaws and would be good to have. Although the idea of a simple virus being able to wipe out everything, is not so good.
The Body;
1. Nothing seems useless. Everything can used in the right hands. But if there is someone who likes to break things, then maybe it might not be good.
2. Wearing a shirt that is able to detect any problems with you, able to tell your heart beat and able to alert an ambulence the moment something goes wrong would be very powerful, very good to have right now.

Meme stuff
1. A meme is something that people can relate to or find funny. It spreads like wildfire and bam, a meme.
2. To name a few; Rage comics, Scumbag Steve, Bad Luke Brian, Social Awkward Penguin, Foul Bachelor Frog, PedoBear, Mudkips, Shoop da Whoop, Slowpoke, Inception, Scene dog/cat, Spiderman, Hipster girl, Hipster guy, Courage Wolf, Over 9 thousand
3. Anyone who find it's funny, really. Mostly teenagers, 14-20.
4. Most meme's are from 4chan or 2chan. It then gets ruined through overuse in Reddit and Tumblr. Finally, it gets boring and WAY overused on Facebook and 9gag.

What is a database?A database if a place where data is stored, much like a filing cabinet, USB, or even Google.
What are databases used for?
To store specific data, such as a persons D.O.B and Adress
Give three examples of databases that you often come into contact with? What information do they store?
Google, for finding specific things and sites.
Wikipedia, to find specific things about people or groups.
Ebay, to buy items and find information about said items.
When developing databases, why must security be a major consideration?
Because some databases could have really important/private information stored which anyone could obtain and use. Things like identity theft is one problem that can be caused by low security of databases.
Is it important to consider confidentiality in determining who can access some databases?
Well, as stated before, depending on who uses it and what kind of database it is, you need to have some confidentiality/security so no one gets screwed over.
