Smallish Post 7

It is important for everyone, no matter what career or field of study they pursue, to have a standard to which they hold their work and lives. In the field of computer science the path into the future is both bright and unknown. New developments are constantly taking place, opening up great new potential. In fields that are evolving there is an inherent responsibility in all involved to make sure new advancements enhance life rather than harm it. I believe that it is also important for computer scientists to stay up to date in learning about new technology and software that is developed. This is a way to remain relevant in terms of employment opportunities. Also it helps ensure products are made with quality and aimed at benefiting others.

Position VLog

In today's world I think it is impossible for parents to try and shut out or remove technology from their lives and homes in an attempt to protect their children. It is true that many degrading and destructive things can be found online. However there are so many productive things made available because of technology that has become readily available to everyone without much effort. It is a parents responsibility to raise and teach their children. If a parent is able to understand the technology his children are using then he will be able to talk with them about its uses. Parents should not be shocked to learn their children have become exposed to bad things online or on their phones. It is going to happen, no matter how hard parents try to avoid it. However, parents can use these moments to talk with their children and teach them. But that only is possible they understand the technology their children use. Parents need to adjust to the world of ever changing technology, but that does not mean change the importance of talking with and teaching their children.
