Comparison

The human brain is a computer. When one gets a computer virus, that virus is similar to getting the common cold but can increase into something worse. What a computer virus starts out doing could be a simple thing like stealing all of your passwords like to your bank account but then can become worse by attacking your motherboard (one's heart or brain) or other vital organs in a human body. Viruses aren't the only thing that are similar between humans and computers. Hard drive and the RAM (random access memory) could be saw as the humans brain long term and short term memory. Some people argue that computers work as per the input given by the human and human works as per the knowledge he gained from various sources and experiences while some argue that the above statement is correct but that doesn't mean that a humans brain couldn't be compared to a computer. I believe that technology is limitless and could become very similar to the human brain.

Cause and Effect

I was sitting on my computer chair surfing the web, checking my e-mail, and researching my new topic. I saw this link under google.com, read the description, and thought that the information in the website would greatly help me in understanding my topic and theory. Then suddenly a pop-up came up on my screen. Then another and then another until my computer screen was covered in pop-ups and I could see nothing but ads. I had to re-boot my computer and start my research all over again. I was extremely angry at my computer until I noticed that I didn't have my anti-virus program on and I wasn't even paying attention to my safe search program. After I realized this, I then I then got mad at myself for getting angry at an inanimate object and that it wasn't my computers fault but my own human error. I was so mad at myself that I forgot the whole reason why that pop-up virus was even there. It wasn't my own fault or my computers fault. It was the jerk who created the virus and then put it up on the website's fault.

Advocacy

Trustworthiness. Everyone has some form of trustworthiness or deserve trust. Trust is easily lost but can be hard to gain. People should trust others just like professor should trust there students that even if they have no basis to trust that student on. Professor's should also trust there students in using the Internet (brief history). The Internet deserve some form of trustworthiness and everyone that creates a false websites on purpose doesn't deserve the ability to go onto the Internet. Not all websites on the Internet deserves your trust but some can be trusted sources of information. The Internet (brief timeline) is the most vast form of media. On the Internet you can find both liberal and conservative views, democratic and republican, etc. Because the Internet is so vast, there happens to be people whom are just trying to be known somewhere or someone believes that they are right and therefore not everything can be counted as right. Basically what I'm trying to preach here is that everyone deserves/needs to be trusted all though those that purposely ruin there credibility, in this case the Internet.

Narrative

As I wandered through the Wal-Mart checkout line, I noticed a newspaper article. At first I didn't pay any attention to it. But out of the corner of my eyes, I noticed the headline. Across the front page was the title "Apple fix to iPhone security flaw" in big, black newspaper print. I was astounded to find that now I can buy a $200 phone and still get my information hacked. Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with an iPhone. I believe that the iPhone can be a great and useful technology with all of it's apps. I just believe there's something wrong with a company who sells their products at an extremely high rate and one of their only excuses is that there products can't get hacked. Windows products do not have an anti-virus program already installed onto there products, but at least they don't lie about having a good one. Baffled, I didn't realize that I was holding up the line, I grabbed the newspaper. Disgusted, I was, after realizing that I actually bought the newspaper.
