"Our country has experience the worst attack ever committed on its soil. How many 9/11 do you want us to suffer before you're willing to cooperate? The details of our investigation are secret. We won't stop at anything on our efforts to bring the prepetrators of these heinous crimes to justide." Ch 4 Pg 64
"Terrorists don't hate airplanes or bridges.They love terror." Ch 5 Pg 73
"Why did we have cameras in our classrooms now? Terrorists. Of course. Because by blowing up a bridge terrorists had indicated that schools were next. Somehow that was the conclusion that the Board had reached anyway." Ch 6 Pg 92
"Every Xbox Universal comes with built-in wireless for multiplayer gaming. You can connect to your neighbors on the wireless link and to the Internet, if you have  a wireless Internet connection."Ch 5 Pg 87-88
"My technology was working for me, serving me, protecting me. It wasn't spying on me. This is why I loved technology: If you used it right, it could give you power and privacy." Ch 5 Pg 88

Since what happened with 9/11 everything has change from that day to this future we are living in now. There are  cameras everywhere to indicate that the country is safe. New York is full of cameras around Manhattan because this is the target point of the terrorists. Technology has advance in providing power to do things and without technology we are not able to do things we desire. Everything now uses technology, from video games such as Xbox and PS3 and with the help of the Internet we are able to connect wireless.Going back to using technology to connect cameras in every part of Manhattan because the only concern of the US is to keep the country safe.Not only is the concern with New York being the top target but every part of the USA has to be protected and all the country is trying to do is be at peace with everyone. With the use of technology people feel safer because if anything bad is happening networking computers and signals go right away to the government in order to keep everything under control and safe.In my opinion I am glad I have the availability  to use technology because I am able to listen to my music and do all my school work.Technology is also useful in hospitals and companies because with these networking computers we are able to know what is going wrong and what should be fixed in order to proceed and be in a right position.Like money, technology is the one thing that moves the world. The US government is not going to stop at anything with their terrorism investigation and technology will help them keep everything under control and safe.

"You think I'm a terrorist? I'm seventeen years old!" "Just the right age-Al Qaeda loves recruting impressionable, idealistic kids, We googled you, you know. You've posted a lot of very ugly stuff on the public Internet." Ch 3 Pg 49

This passage conveys the idea of how the FBI or any other govermental service is able to find people who become very suspicious. These people are questioned in how they are able to get through computer networking with the touch of several keys and how to read all the messages that are posted in order to enter the backstage of the networking. It is never good to post things on the Internet because you know you are going to get caught any time because there are people behind a screen detecting who is looking up bad information and who is trying to get in and steal very valuable information. Google has become one of the top technology networking systems, in which you look up anything possible that you want from a person's identity to where the closest location of a place is. Google is all in one program that establishes a way of conducting better networking in order to find information at a faster pace. Google is the top company that provides everyone from valuable information for a research to pictures and videos of how things are viewed in our society.In my opinion is always bad to post ugly stuff on the public Internet because everyone sees it and then it is your fault and people don't take you seriously anymore because you are inmature.To be human and to use all these sources of the networking is a pleassure because you are able to find things within minutes and establish a conclusion to any research you are doing.

"When you get a worm or a virus, your computer sends a message to a chat channel on IRC-the Internet Relay Chat." Ch 2 Pg 26

In this passage it talks about how when computers become infected with viruses messages travel through computer network to inform a specifc place of the threat of virus that is being put on the computer. This advance of technology shows that through computer networking the speed of it is within minutes in order to provide your computer with a better safe antivirus. In my opinion when I get a virus threat on my computer I am immediately informed of such problem and right away I put an antivirus on it because many of my documents could be infected and lost. Each day technology comes out with ideas in order to keep computers in a safe position.Many of these antivirus might be expensive according to what you purchase and many of these antivirus convey a message that it is the best and it is very safe. It tries to manipulate the human mind into buying because it is certain to provide a good antivirus protection and indeed it does.All computers in schools and hospitals have antivirus protection because many people often called third parties try to get into the network and drop in several viruses and infect the computers because they are getting out valuable information.

"I fired up IMParanoid, the secret instant messenger that I used when I wanted to have an off-the-record discussion right in the middle of class.Darryl was already logged."Ch 1 Pg 15

This passage of  Little Brother by Cory Doctorow shows that in school technology is so advanced that you can use it anywhere now. This secret messager that is being used is like using Skype or any other IM messenger.It is secret meaning that no one else in the schoool knows about it except for a few people.Darryl and Marcus are the ones that have the private conversation about the game they play according to Marcus the best game invented,the game is Harajuku Fun Madness.These labtops that the students use have hidden programs that no one else knows about, not even the board of Ed when they do their routine check ups. Like always Marcus was intelligent enough to know where all these hidden programs were and he always try to get around the Board's latest tests in order to get a hold of them.Technology and Intelligence now go together because most of the technology invented now is used from the intelligence of the brain.Experts in technology invent programs that could do anything from knowing your location to information needed to solve an experiment. In this world and in the future we are expericing that is much easier to get a hold of a person's identity within seconds, something the FBI uses.The advance of techology is shaping our future and soon we will not have to even move a finger because everything will be done for us using the source of the Internet and its computer networking. Overall in my opinion technology is more advanced than expected. We use technology with everything that surrounds us from being in school, working in a hospital or driving your car. Technlogy moves the world and people are so amazed with it because from back then to now technology has shape the world and tasks are done much easier now. In this passage the idea of using an IM to have a secret conversation without no one knowing gives us the idea that technology is advance and we could share information across networking but we should be very careful in doing so.
