Internet Users Not knowing that downloading pirates is illegal?

Summary

People nowadays use illegal search engine such as torrent to get illegal unauthorized content.A lot of people don't know that it is illegal to download from a pirated site. 44% out of 2500 people says that they thought uploading commercially produced media uploaded to a file sharing website is legal. And others did not that if it's lawful or not. 35% of the people claimed that they thought that it is legal to get a copy of a film or TV shows from a friend. 68% of the people think that it is illegal and think that it should be protected that people cannot use illegal downloads. Over two-third of the people agree to use search engine such as Google to find unauthorized content. Over one in fourth people uses the search engine daily to find such contents. For it being illegal is bad because people who don't want to pay for films or TV shows can watch it at home just by a click of a button. It is good for the people who are lazy and likes to stay at home because it is much easier for them. It is bad for the producers and the artist that is the one working to make that film or any other contents. In my opinion it is ok for it to be illegal to download because people would still download it. Plus I think that the artist and movie stars are rich enough already they don't need that kind of money it doesn't matter to them. So I think that it should be legal and not illegal because these people are rich already this kind of money doesn't matter to them.

Major Concepts

• People are not aware of whether illegal downloading is illegal or not.
• 68% of the people believe that it is necessary to protect the content, which is an interesting fact because I think those people are hypocrites.
• 35% of the people including me didn't know that copying a film or TV show from a friend is illegal.

Potential Strength/Advantages.

• To people who didn't know that it was illegal now know that it is so they would be aware of it later on.
•  Let people understand the importance of whether this is illegal or legal.

Potential Strength /Disadvantage

• Some people will not care about this at all and still use illegal downloads. They have said it before that it is illegal so people still download illegally so there is no use in posting this.
• It might make those file sharing websites be banned again.

Discussion Questions

• Why does it matter if people download it illegally, everyone is doing it?
• How would this make the file sharing website feel and will they be forced to banned the website?

New Function to the AssistiveTouch

Summary
 
AssistiveTouch as you know is a plug in that apple product have such as iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc. A lot of people find it useful but there is also a lot of people like me who find it really annoying. The reason that I find it annoying is because the placement is always in the way when you try to press something it is in the way. The reason that it may be useful is for people who is lazy to click the button and like to just use touchscreen or your home button is broken so you need it to go back to home. MyAssistive is a brand new application that allows you to change the color, change the position, and customize it to your liking. Some of the new features are now you can toggle LED light, screen shot, siri, etc. With all these new upgrade I might consider using it again if it isn't that annoying with the placement.

Major Concept

• New app called MyAssistive
• It allows you to customize it to your liking.
•  It makes your life easier with shortcuts.

Potential Strength/Advantages 

• More people might use it
• It might help people's daily usage of their smartphone more useful.

Potential Strength/Disadvantage

• It might still be position to be really annoying.
• What if it is stuck and you're home button can't use too.

Discussion Question

• Why did they decide to use the bad/annoying positioning on the first place?
• How would you make more people who hate using Assistive Touch and make them start to use it?
