 I am most excited to hear about the surveillance topics. I think those will be interesting and it is always nice to know more about how you are being tracked.

One of the things I found most interesting was that Snowden is not completely renowned as a hero. I understand that there were secrets shared but they were secrets of how the US population was unknowingly having their every move monitored online. Based on the documentary he went through the steps to ensure he was going about the situation in the safest but most effective manner possible. In my eyes the weight of the information outweighs the potential safety risks.

 I thought it was really interesting to learn about the science parts involving the technology and bees, I did not know the distinctions between different types of honey, and I learned about the prevalence of bee colony robberies. 

 I thought it was interesting that most people emphasized their sibling relationships a lot. I think my sibling relationships greatly affected my ethics but so did other things. I put a lot of emphasis on personal thinking and choices affecting my ethics.

 My best in class computing experience was the Systems 1 Y-86 simulator. That was by far the most challenging and rewarding in class experience. Outside of class I have not done much besides small self paced projects you can find online and practice problems on various sites.
