1.      From the movie, what are the benefits of a centralized system?

        They can get their answers from one place, but it obviously wasn't a good idea.

2.     How did the advanced technology control the lives of the people in the movie?

     Through technology, like people's phones, street cameras, any live speaker 

3. Do you want to have that kind of technology in our community, like our school or municipality? Defend your stand.

    Of course not. The government can look at my public social networks all day. But when they start to spy on my private matters then I will be heated about it. That's a violation of our constitution. 

4.      In what way do you use technology wisely? Give an example.

   To use it for everyday challenges you couldn't do yourself. You basically have anything you want to know in your hand.

5.      What message does the movie want to convey? How should you use or treat technology in this digital age?

     The message I conveyed was that people can be oblivious of what is around them and how they should be more private with their technology.

I say that violent video games aren't the problem, because I play violent video games quite often and I don't want to kill anyone. Though today's video games get very deep and messed up sometimes, they don't brainwash people. I say just as anything an easily influenced person could take anything wrong, but they wouldn't kill people without a deeper cause. I'd say someone would have to want to kill someone before they play violent video games or watch violent movies because it glamorizes murder and shows a person that it's easier than it is.

Thoughts of suicide, violence, or drug use. I don't think it's an invasion because what they say they read is public. I don't have a Facebook or anything, but I don't do anything suspicious so whatever I do out of school is none of their business.

The article says it may be computer error, but I'd say it's a pretty good improvement. Though America has plenty of other problems. I guess they would see it as our economy is improving and they need to go get a job. The economy is improving in one area, not improving entirely. I hope it begins to though.

I value my privacy a lot, it is in my opinion essential. The government can at any time tap into any device to see what you're doing and that is wrong. Who are they to think they can just spy on anyone they want. Obviously a terrorist isn't going to be texting his friend about killing people or his plans to. They can search all their lives and they may find a select few of things, but at the same time invading people's privacy. I feel exposed and offended that they can do that. The government asks as if they own us.

Well things in Syria are getting pretty heated and apparently they would have a chance on preventing an attack from the U.S. if they got rid of all their chemical weapons within the week. I believe they're a little in over their head, I mean Russia and the U.S. would turn Syria into a parking lot.

I don't think its right to raise prices but not wages. Fast food is an easy job, but for some people a lot of things rely on their job. I think they are making enough money already. There are McDonald's literally everywhere.

Well I'm glad I don't have a Facebook, but I think it is a invasion of someone's privacy. I can understand why they did it from there point, I mean they could prevent something bad from happening if they were to stumble upon people talking about it. But in reality that probably wont  happen and they're just reading personal things by regular people. The government isn't known for being very merciful when looking into personal things.
