- The complete accuracy of complex program is impossible to verify due to the high immensity of all the considerations taken for any particular situation.
- In any complex program, there is a vast quantity of possible inputs and their combinations. Since, time taken to test these cases is too much, so the creators try to generalize them...

The following question are intended as a guide to the ethical/social/legal issues associated with the field of computing. The goal is not merely to answer these question. You should also consider why you answered as you did and whether your justifications are consistent from one question to the next.
In the context of interactive television, to what extent should a company be allowed to retrieve information from children (perhaps via an interactive game format)? For example, should a company be allowed to obtain a child's report on his or her parents' buying patterns? What about information about the child?
Do you believe that this method may be successful in explaining computer science?
After that, it is only natural that we would investigate each and every component that goes into
the creation of a computer.
