It was surprising for me to learn that search engines record peoples' entire search history. Google had a recent legal spat with the U.S. Department of Justice over this issue. Many wonder if there is a law to protect people's online privacy, but there isn't really. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act was enacted in 1986 before the internet was around and does not contain content regarding search engines.
I believe there are pros and cons to search engine recording. It could help find criminals. For example, although not obtained from Google directly, the words, "neck," snap," "break," and "hold" were fround on the computer of Robert Petrick before his wife was killed. Also, if people knew that what they searched for on the internet was recorded, they would be more responsible and wouldn't view sites that were innapropriate or offensive.
Google's ability to record people's search history does however take away from our privacy and liberty. There is something chilling about the fact that every move you make on a search engine is recorded.
I think it would be a good idea if Google were required to delete their search engine histories every few months.
Original Superman
Edited Superman
I used opacity, the eraser, and the clone stamp to add the red cape. I used the black and white function to make the cape stick out.
Rotten Apple
Good Apple
Here I used the clone stamp feature to fix the rotting part of the apple. I turned down the saturation to make the picutre less yellow. I used the paint brush to write "good apple" on the board and I used the lasso and paint bucket to change the color of the shadow.
