Blown to Bits: Chapter 2 Questions

1) How many cameras per persons are there in London?

2) How do you feel about the amount of info that is stored (purchases, locations, conversations, ex. (basically any thing that has any thing to do with electronics and some other things))? Do you think this is OK?

3)Do you think there needs to be more privacy laws? Do you think that the "agreement statements" should put that "they have the right to use you information for what ever they want" at the top of the 5000 word agreements (that nobody reads) instead of buried in the middle?

4) Based on the teenagers you know, do you think more than, about, or less than 55% of teenagers use/have a social media account (Facebook, ex)?

5) Have you ever spied/stalked someone on the internet?

6) What do you think about the idea of tagging people with RFIDs?

$wagulator- Tip and Tax Calculator

1) When we were brainstorming ideas for the app, we thought of what we would find useful to have on our smartphone, and would solve a problem. This was useful because we found a problem that could be solved by an app.
2)I think that Anthony, Eric, and I worked very well together. We solved all of our problems and accomplished our goals.

3) We decided that our app should be a calculator for calculating the tax and tip, so before you order a meal, you know how much you will be spending in total.

     a. The first problem we faced while coding was making certain elements of the screen hidden at certain points in the program. This was a tedious task because small errors in the code could set the whhole program off, and their was a lot of this type of code.

     b. The second problem was displaying the correct calculated values in the correct place. We overcame this problem by creating algorithms for calculating the values of all five variables. These were then displayed by setting the text of empty text boxes to the correct rounded answer.

5) If we had more time, we could have added more features to the calculator.
