Project Management Web Log 3

During our tutorial classes, we are usually given a set of challenges to do in relation to project management. I remember the first tutorial class I went to, we were split into 3 groups and we all had to think of an interactive webpage for dublin zoo, as if we were contracted by them. Myself, Paul and Donard decided that we would make it like an information game. Where the background would be an animal zoo yard and would have a bunch of  cartoon animal avatars and once you click on the avatars, a real picture of the animal you clicked on would come up and loads of fun facts and attributes would come up. I actually borrowed this idea from myself 2 years ago when I was told to do the same thing in my advanced creative media PLC, except to do it individually and to actually make it in adobe flash. 

This tutorial that we had recently was more light a tutorial for Law. We had to form 2 groups and discuss the recent controversy over the FBI wanting to crack a terrorist's phone to recieve information, however it can't be done since no one can crack an iPhone password and they want Apple to develop a cracking software that would only be used for these occasions and that only they could use. Apple said no. Many called that obstruction of the apprehension of terrorists. However it was obviously just their dedication towards the privacy of their customers. I was on the side agreeing with Apple's decision. The others were against it.

I enjoyed the debate and from the looks of it, we won. It was my belief that once a crack was created, it would be highly sought after to be replicated. Also if the FBI say they would only use it on occasions were terrorists are involved, what's to stop them cracking the phone of a non-terrorist while using the terrorist-card. Also know as 'The threat of terrorism. 

The other group had good points but all in all, we had more information whereas they repeated the same answers over and over again.
