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.

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.

On the internet, Nobody Knows You're a Dog

This cartoon from the New Yorker, was created in 1993 and shows a dog on the internet. The dog says to his other dog friend, "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog." The next picture shows the dog using the internet with a surprised look and the words on the computer screen are, "Welcome canine user 39...Mutt, mostly black lab enjoys pepporoni, fetching, and sniffing other dogs' heinies...updated profile."

I think Peter Steiner, the author of this cartoon, was trying to say that the internet threatens our privacy and if we're not careful our personal information could be floating around online for all the world to see. It amazes me that this cartoon was created in 1993 when the internet was in its beginning stages. I think it's a pretty good description for the internet today. Many people have lost their privacy due to the internet. We need to be careful when we use the internet to stay away from certain sites and invitations that ask for our information. The world wide web can be very fun and helpful, but we need to make sure that we use it wisely.
