Internet ID

I think that it would be much easier to have one password for everything. I can see where they would like it then but I also think that it could be an invasion of privacy. If the government gave us all different passwords then the few people who know our 'secret' passwords could be able to get into all our personal stuff. I would feel very uncomfortable knowing that I could be being watched. I think it would be ok if they gave passwords to terrorists or people on watch lists. Then maybe we could keep better track of them and make sure they're not planning an attack.

My Experience

I would say that I am pretty familiar with Microsoft office. I just graduated High School and have been learning more about power point and excel. I have had to do numerous school projects that needed me to make a ppt. presentation or a spreadsheet. I've taken many computer classes one focusing just on excel. Computers are familiar to me also, they have been around me all my life so I feel very comfortable using them. I don't know that much about the mechanics of a computer. The inside or the 'guts' is what I'm not really familiar with.
