1. What do you think of the program "Microtype"? Just give an overall impression.
-I think that it is fun at first, like when you just begin, but later on you get tired, but it is a good way for people to learn typing.
2. If you were on the Microtype design team, what would you have changed?
-In my honest opinion I think that i would have changed the paragraph exercise to another game activity, like the game when you had tofigure out the words within the picture.

MySpace to use 'audio fingerprinting'
I disgree with the article because if theystop children from downloading music on their then the chiuldren will just get another way around it so it does not make any since at all. And they should not blame the children for downloading music they should blame the person that came up with MySpace but Myspace is a good place where people could meat people from all over the world it is nothing like chat rooms.

I think that online gambling is not good because on the computer people can find out a lot of information about you and they can used that to put their gambling debts into your credit card accounts and that will have you in a lot of trouble if you don't pay it. and that will be very hard to clear your name, and that may cause you to lose your job and people may not trust you anymore. So that why i think online gamblingt is bad, i mean its not bad for people to do it, it is just bad for people to do it online.

Hispanic Americans Advertising
Chains crank up Hispanic advertising as the population burgeons
In July, burger king began providing in-store merchandising materials in English and Spanish to units upon request. The Miami-based chain anticipated 1,500 requests. Instead, 2,400 of its nearly 8,200 stores asked for the bilingual materials.
This country’s Latino population, now at 12%, is expected to reach 20% by 2005. The group’s buying power will grow too, from $600 billion this year to $900 billion in the next 10 years.
With those numbers looming large, retailers in general are spending more to reach Latino consumers. Advertising expenditures rose 11% from 1998 to 1999, from $1.71 billion to $1.89 billion, according to Hispanic Business magazine.

A new focus: as the Hispanic population in the United States grows, companies customize their marketing materials to reach those consumers.
According to the 2000 U.S. Census, the Hispanic population accounted for 40 percent of the increase in the nation's total population between the 1990 and 2000 censuses. In 2000, Hispanics represented 35.3 million people, and comprised 12.5 percent of the nation's total population.
Clearly, this is a growing sector of the U.S. population; and many retailers and manufacturers have begun directing marketing campaigns specifically aimed at the Hispanic consumer.

Hypothetical Business Situations
Should a defence attorney work for a client he or she believes is guilty?
I have been wondering the answer to that question for years, but i think that the attorney just wants to get paid and they want to have attention in the media. Say for instance a women kill all ten of her children, and the attorney gets them off, then all the criminals will go to that attorney and he or she will have money on top of money and everyone will know that they have won many cases. But then again sometimes i think that the attorney is sometimes confused by some of their clients, or they probably feel threathed if they don't defend that person.

My first favorie website is www.myspace.com because it let people all over the world express thereselves and family to people they don't even know and i really like it because there are even grown ups on myspace.com as well. The second favorite is www.disneychannel.com because i can e-mail Raven Symone' because she is one of my favorite actress of all time and she has been acting since she a little girl. The next favorite website that i like which is the third favorite is www.bloger.com becuase i can write stuff and things and i have my own little password that no one knows but me, its like i have my own little word. Instead of five favorite websites i only have three that come to mind.
Over the last ten years in business computers has change because years ago one computer took up a whole room with several wires and things. Now there are over 30 computers into one room. Many businesses can do there work a lot faster then they use to. Also computers can now add up stocks, calucalate things when you put in diffrent prices. Maybe in the next ten years people may not even have to type, the people that makes the computers can connect a microphone to the computer and all you have to do is talk into the microphone and the words will appear.
