Question. why do some people can't admit things when there is really nothing wrong about admitting those things?
Ironic.They think it's no big deal. But then, if it's no big deal, what's stopping them from telling?it won't be that much of a thing anyway...hahahaha

Assignment #6
1. Many games that children used to play on boards with dice, cards and plastic pieces are now available as computer games . Is this an example of unnecessary use of the new technology just because it is there? Describe some advantages and disadvantages of replacing a board game by computer version.
Answer:
Technology has been an effective tool in providing entertainment especially now that more and more features are being discovered to enhance it. Varieties of games being employed to computer technology had captured the attention of many. There are even computer games that got their origin in a real human-to-human interaction.
The deployment to computer of games which are originally played with a real human opponent, as with games on dice, cards and plastic pieces had changed the trend on playing these traditional games. I believe that this deployment is an example of unnecessary use of the technology just because it is there. Since in computer you are playing with the computer itself, you are isolated from the crowd of real people or players thus it prevent social interaction. Also since computer games are made in a pattern of codes, after a long time of playing, the game will be so predictable that the level of excitement will diminish. Other than the two disadvantages mentioned, another disadvantage is that playing computer games is not economical nor practical. On the other hand, computer games also got some good points. You can play anywhere you want as long as there is a computer at your own convenient time. You don't have to look or even wait for an opponent or other players to start the game, thus you are saving time.
2. Suppose an employee uses computer time, services and storage on an employer's computer for the employee's own business. Can you consider such action as a theft? Why or why not?
Answer:
As an employee, there is a difference between you and your employer's access and use of resources. He/She can use /access resources more than you can and as an ethical employee you should live or work by the ethical rules. Using computer time, services and storage on employer's computer for your own personal gain is an act of theft for me. I believe that theft doesn't refer only to money stolen but to things that negatively affects the person from whom those things were stolen. It could be in any form and using computer time, service and storage of employer's computer is already a way of stealing. The time, service and storage you used for your own gain could have been used exclusively for your job and could have maximized the productivity and profit of your company or employer and will definitely benefit you as well. I f the employer pays you right, then it is not morally and ethically accepted for you not to work and use the resources right.
