After learning about the history of computers in the lecture last week, i realised i already new a fair bit about its origins as i studied multimedia certificate course all through highschool. So i decided to do something interesting for this weeks blog so i researched microsoft conspiricy theories and see if any are credible, which i hardly doubt they would be. I found a website that makes up new theories each week for entertainment purposes but would not be surpirsed if microsoft utilized these ideas as part of their PR campaign as some are quite good.
However there are a few extremely obscure ideas such as the idea that miscrosoft computers were invented to spy on its users....
Some people on this website believe that Microsoft, the software company that dominates our computers today, is spying on everyone who has microsoft software on their computers. They claim that Microsoft has hidden files that records all the websites you view, even if you did delete them and all emails you've ever sent. I choose to believe that computers and microsoft were invented for better reasons than to simply spy on its users as people are just not that interesting enough. it would be terribly boring seeing every website that every microsoft user has acsessed and i couldnt see anyone being employed to do this..... i think there are too many paranoid people out there!
