Chapter 5, Problem 2SI
Explanation of Solution
Product development:
- In order to develop a product, a significant investment is done.
- There are many aspects involved to determine whether the compensation is payable or not. The compensation amount is only due if both user and producer agree and sign the contract. The contract can only be changed if both user and producer agree to change it. But if no contract is signed during the process of developing a product then no compensation can be claimed from the user.
- Consider an example of automobile manufacturer. The contract is signed between the dealer and manufacturer only. But the end user who is using the product is not involved in the agreement.
- Thus, to ensure compensation following options can be considered:
- Agreement should be set up with a software distributor.
- Licenses should be created else the software cannot be used and a price is marked for each license...

The questions that follow are meant to serve as a roadmap to the
ethical, societal, and legal problems that arise in the area of computing. The aim isn't only to find answers to these questions. Evaluate why you responded the way you did and if your justifications are clear from question to question.
Is it appropriate for a person to design his or her own applications without considering the risk of truncation errors and their
consequences?
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?
A wide variety of everyday objects (including attractions at amusement parks, autos, elevators, and ovens) are really computers or information systems these days. The typical person would not connect them to a computer or database. The benefits are obvious, but are there any downsides to consider? As an example, if you rode a computer-controlled roller coaster, how confident would you be in its safety? As more and more mundane tasks are automated by computers, we have to ask whether the benefits are worth the cons. If so, then explain why.

In the lectures, we discussed the four cornerstones of computational thinking (for example, decomposition). For each of these cornerstones, provide one or two sentences about how you could apply that technique to help solve a problem. The problem should be from something you're interested in and doesn't necessarily need to be about programming. You may use the same example problem for all of the cornerstones, such as walking through the problem with each step, but you cannot use examples that were already discussed in the lectures.arrow_forward

Having trouble distinguishing between the two (I can see the constraints clearly). the steps are as follows: stand up, sit down, take a step (must be standing), turn (right turn only -90 degrees), raise arms (must be standing), lower arms, add one to memory, subtract one from memory, test:touching anything?
