In this senior seminar course for computer science i would say that more then anything I've made philosophical observations about my own ethics and what i want to do with my life in the near future. I decided that when i graduate i would do something i enjoy. I really enjoy working on applications and web development. Concepts involved in theory and systems work do not suit me at all and my mind would be far more productive in my own fields.
With this in mind, i have set goals in applying for interviews and jobs this semester. Learning how to talk to interviewers and potential employers will be critical to my job prospects. I would like to believe that i am fairly well prepared to demonstrate my charisma, and therefore social ability required to work in a team.
Another thing i learned was the importance of privacy on the internet and the dangers of information about people on it. During the "creeping" assignment, i found out way more then i needed to know about my partner Rick. What i found would have been good enough if i had seriously planned on stalking him or even trying to steal his identity. As someone going into technology, my voice, as well as others in our field, will have to express our opinions on how we deal with these developing problems to security and privacy.
