Spyware and Bots
What I know before researching:
- consists of programs and softwares that monitor your activity and/or information without damaging your devices
Questions for the topic
- what can spyware do specifically?
- in what forms is spyware? codes? programs?
http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/spyware-whatis.aspx
http://www.mobistealth.com/iphone-spy
wikipedia
- most spyware is equipped with firewalls and protection to make them hard to remove
- spyware is hard to install on other computers and for information gathering, it is mostly placed from the inside of the computer, not by an external route
- spyware is not only for computers. There are now apps to install in mobile devices where you set up a destination for the monitoring to go
- spyware is used by companies to monitor company provided devices and ensure proper use. Also by parents concerned for their children´s technology use and even by law enforcement to get information on suspects
- It is now open to that public to download on personal devices, using them for personal monitoring and securing personal information
- Many programs against spyware like antivirus but for spyware exist.
These may relate to my life beacuse someone may try to use spyware on me and now I know how to prevent that, as well as how to use it on someone. hahaha
Is there really an ultimate security provider against spyware?

Design Project day 5
Did we meet fun expectations?
- Yes. The game met the expectations as it had competition and the common interest, soccer.
The biggest problem we encountered was creating the soccer nets. We had to cut very little cardboard pieces and create a sort of puzzle on a bigger box to make it realistic. The good thing was we overcame it and it turned out awesome
Our biggest Ah Ha idea was using shredded paper as the confetti to cover up our little balls inside the boxes.
We didn't resist new ideas. We just wanted to throw more cool things inside and all the ideas we had we either put in directly or adapted them to fit in better.
My only doubt really was if making a card pyramid would be possible because it is very hard. I overcame it by placing supports on both sides to make the cards hold more easily.
We didn't play "devil advocate". We just accepted the ideas and let everything flow, which turned out great for us.
I learned that this process makes the actual building a lot easier as you have everything planned and organized greatly. I also learned that in teamwork, you should open to others ideas and contributions which will actually help your work. Two heads work better than one.

Design Project Day 3
Define Phase-
Is our design "fun" according to our initial definition and targeted group?
- Yes our game is fun according to our initial definition since it includes:
1. not being that hard but not giving the game away; the soccer phase is pretty easy but the card phase is a little bit harder, so it levels out.
2. It has common interesting topics; soccer is included and most people enjoy soccer and the topic.
3. The game has competition; it is a race between two players to see who can get there first.
4. You win something; you get 1 bonbon bum.
What are the most powerful ideas of our design?
- 2 things, number 1 is that it has soccer. Which is a common interesting topic and will attract players. Number 2 is the competition part of the game. it makes it funner and at the same time a bit harder. plus it attracts 2 people automatically since you cant play alone.
What are the things we can leave out?
- We could leave out the part of making a card pyramid. This phase is the hardest phase and it may drive away players because of complexity.
Build Plan-
To make it:
We will work together. Collaborating and making each part count with maximum quality. We start with the platform, then move to making the two soccer goals, and the materials for that phase. Then panting the bowls to the platform and third setting up the card stage.
Materials:
we need:
Tomas
- bowls
- confetti
Sofia
- playing cards
- cartulina

Design Project Day 2
PROTOTYPE PHASE
1.
- Sofia's model has the most strength. It inst very detailed, but it shows the organization we want for the game to run smoothly and easily. It clearly shows where each contestant begins and how they must continue as they unlock the next step along the game.
- Details we will include: organization in ladder formation(sofia); low table design(tomas); decoration(sofia)
- We might need to add stants for the different activity, organize them by separating them and giving them space.
2.
Good? creative and appealing
improve? moderate sizes for obstacles so no inconvinience or disaster
