Life in the 1960’s If I could live in any decade, I would live in the 1960’s and it isn’t all about the afros. There’s so much more such as the hippies and the epic T.V. shows.

In the 1960’s the shows were way more family friendly for you just to have a good laugh, those shows aired taught life lessons to children…

For another school project I created a fake Wi-Fi hotspot at a local Starbucks in order to see how easy it would be to steal people's information. This Starbucks would be my playpen for a whole week and the customers would be my experimental mice. By the end of the trial experiment, 65% of the customers who came into Starbucks, established a connection with the fake Wi-Fi server.…
