Digital Security (Assignment One)


     The passwords 12345 and password are easy to guess because they have been used frequently by many people. They are one of the first passwords that come to mind because of this. Also, if you type them into a password checker, they both show up as weak. I've never used these passwords before because they are extremely easy to guess. Depending on how long seniors and adults have been using computers, they may be at risk of using weak passwords. They would probably end up using someones name as their password, which would be easy to guess. We can help save them from disastrous consequences by telling them their password is easy to guess, and that they should change it, or you could log in as them using their password to prove it. Other passwords like 54321, abcde, and hello are easy to guess passwords that shouldn't be used. A strong password should be atleast 8 characters long, and should include atleast three of the following: uppercase and lowercase, numbers, punctuation, and symbols.

Emerging Technologies and Automobiles

Technologies in Development      I think that each of the six emerging technologies will happen, but I think that some will take longer than others. I think that will EV Extravaganza will take longer to happen, as electric cars are expensive, as well as the cost of charging them. I think the development of flying cars will have the biggest impact on society, as people have been working on creating one since 1907.  I think that the first technology to be used will be Ford's Workload Estimator/ Biometric Scanner. as people have already made similar designs to try and reduce the number of  accidents.  When it comes to flying cars, I think they would be a huge benefit to society, as emergency personal could get onto the scene quicker, and wouldn't have to swap vehicles. The down side of this, however, is that if a criminal was using this vehicle to escape, they would be able to travel on both land and air, making it harder for the authorities to pursue them. W...
