            In the article "Voice Impersonators can fool speaker recognition systems" from the University Of Eastern Finland it was discovered that there is a vulnerability in speaker recognition systems which can pose very serious security concerns. The reason that this can lead to serious security concerns is that today since mobile devices are more equipped with functions that require voice commands their is a higher demand for more applications that rely on voice for authentication purposes or for public safety. The increase of this function can lead to the misuse of it such as voice impersonation by humans cannot be easily detected with the recognition system. To test the reliability of the system two professional voice impersonators were asked to sound both like a child and an elderly person to see if they are able to fool the system. The result of this was that they succeeded in being able to fool the system. I feel very strongly about the since most of my family use their voices to complete actions when using their phone this can effect them negatively.

In lesson 10 we were required to create a game called Color Sleuth. In the game basically there are four similar colors and the objective is to choose the color that is different to the rest of them. While we coded the game in App Lab and made finishing touches to it we then were required to put it in on a webpage so it can be seen in our portfolio. Placing on the webpage allowed viewers to play the game so people can see if th...

The first W was Why CTE students need WBL Workshops. We need these workshops so we can learned of what is required to be able to achieve a CTE diploma and not fall behind in anything that we have not completed. The second W discussed in the workshop was What are the WBL requirements. This W focused on the discipline policy, WBL application, and the confidentiality agreement all this things are required of us as CTE students. We need to follow these rules and agreements so we ...

The image of myself was suppose to go  before the paragraph. Now to add an image to an HTML code, the image tag needs to be included in the code. Also the image source has to be included which can be done if the image is dragged into the software it is lines of codes are. The dimensions of the image can be manipulated by setting the height and width. Actually, only one valu...
