Spring Break Free Write

      For spring break I didn't really do anything. I worked as much as I could at sonic and slept. I got a lot of experience with my job though, it's a shame I have to quit it soon. Hopefully next year spring break we'll get to do something fun, but my biggest chance of a good vacation won't be until I'm on my own. I spent a lot of time thinking about what I want to do in the future, as I still have no idea. I knew I had an interest in animals, primarily bears. Maybe I could be a zookeeper. I'd love if I could take care of animals. Maybe next year I'll know what I want to be and have a plan.

4. Adult Beginners

Short Answer

1. No, it would be a terrible creation that would be exploited by the government and criminals alike. If apple were to create the backdoor, it would be overused and abused by many.

2. No, if someone were to take my phone I wouldn't want them to have access to any of my information, even the most public of information like my number. Nobody should be able to access the information stored in my phone but me.

3. Never. For too long the government agencies have been able to get away with violating our privacy to protect against "terrorism". It serves no purpose to protect the citizens of the USA, so it should not be an excuse to violate our privacy and personal information. It isn't an argument about "if you have nothing to hide, why be scared?", it's a blatant excuse to violate citizens' privacy, and would be abused if given the ability to.

4. No, my parents don't look on my phone or social media ever. The only time they have was when I was 10, and first had access to a cell phone. They may pay for the phone, but I would rather have them take it away than have them checking it because they don't trust me.

5. The only justifiable time parents should check their children's phones is when they are still young and new to having this much access to the internet. Parents who check their child's phone when they are older than 13 are invading their privacy.

6. I think children should be exposed to electronic devices at age 10 as the earliest. Kids abuse privileges when they are younger and will get addicted to the internet and technology at an early age if given too much access to it earlier than age 10. In today's world, it is important to know how to use the internet properly and safely, but parents now are giving their kids too much access to the internet at too young of an age, and kids are getting spoiled and used to it.
