Why? whitingj1 https://padlet.com/whitingj1/kmbad26p7945/wish/203091319 2017-11-02 19:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/whitingj1/kmbad26p7945/wish/203091319 Why are the tank producers called "hackers?" What metaphoric connection is there between the producers of hardware, software/operating systems, and the free-tank hackers, speeding across the digital terrain, except to point out that once the technology is established it can be exploited in ways the original designers couldn't have foreseen? https://padlet.com/whitingj1/kmbad26p7945/wish/203971005 Mike ]]> 2017-11-06 16:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/whitingj1/kmbad26p7945/wish/203971005 Have you ever heard of "ad populum fallacy"? https://padlet.com/whitingj1/kmbad26p7945/wish/203971025 2017-11-06 16:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/whitingj1/kmbad26p7945/wish/203971025 Could there be another analogy that would help make the topic more accessible? https://padlet.com/whitingj1/kmbad26p7945/wish/203971290 2017-11-06 16:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/whitingj1/kmbad26p7945/wish/203971290 robS https://padlet.com/whitingj1/kmbad26p7945/wish/203974271 Why compare Microsoft to the Soviets? Is that a valid comparison?]]> 2017-11-06 16:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/whitingj1/kmbad26p7945/wish/203974271 All engineers experience a conflict between what's marketable and what's most efficient. But in this case, no one really cares about operating systems except engineers. What if more studies were done regarding the relationship between operating systems and everyday content non-engineers actually use? I use Google, for example, not because it's faster than other browsers, but because its programs help me in my work. https://padlet.com/whitingj1/kmbad26p7945/wish/203981444 2017-11-06 16:42:41 UTC https://padlet.com/whitingj1/kmbad26p7945/wish/203981444
