Google's Trace

So I just read the article called "When Google Is Not Your Friend", on the CNet News website. It was quite interesting that Google can trace users through searches they've typed into their computers. However, I think this is an invasion of privacy of U.S. citizens. I'm pretty sure the FBI can resort to other means of proving criminal behavior than going through search engine words. There are many curious people around the world that could type sketchy words into a search engine and if that's going to link them to a murder, HA that's ridiculous. Of course they could argue that "Freedom of Curiosity" is not in the First Amendment, but then there should be some sort of U.S. freedom protection to search the World Wide Web. Wouldn't you think?

html codes

This week I've been learning about html codes. There is a vast amount of symbols involved that are difficult to remember off the top of my head. I find the html coding fairly interesting, although it’s a lot of tedious work and I have trouble staying patient. I feel like this information will benefit me greatly in what I plan to do. I’d like to be a wedding planner and if I know how to manage my own website my business will be much more lucrative. So although it’s a lot of work, I can see the value in learning html codes and am excited to put what I’ve learned into practice.
