Q$1$: Many everyday objects such as amusement park rides, cars, elevators, and ovens, etc. that you might not normally associated with a computer or information system, in fact, are today. There are obvious benefits, but are there risks as well? For instance, would you feel more or less comfortable riding on a roller coaster that was computer controlled? Or would you feel safe enough riding a Tesla using its auto$-$drive feature? Do the benefits of computerizing an increasing number of everyday objects outweigh the potential risks? Why or why not?

Q$2$: There is a trend in programming to make coding easier and more automatic. Some welcome this trend, but others are concerned about future programmers not learning necessary programming fundamentals if programming is no longer required. For instance, without understanding how looping and variable initialization work, how easily would an individual be able to find a logic error in a looping process? Do you think programmers of the future should still learn programming fundamentals, even if manual coding is no longer required? Why or why not?
