    1. W3Schools. Python Lists. URL: https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_lists.asp (visited on 2023-11-24).

      I didn't know that there are four collection data types in the python programming language. The four types are list, tuple, set, and dictionary. I also learned how important it is that you know the different types of lists because they all effect the outcome of the code differently.

    1. Images are created by defining a grid of dots, called pixels. Each pixel has three numbers that define the color (red, green, and blue), and the grid is created as a list (rows) of lists (columns).

      I am very new to programming and computer all this computer stuff. I had no idea that images are pixels with three different numbers. I wonder how many possible images you can change and manipulate with numbers.

    1. Steven Tweedie. This disturbing image of a Chinese worker with close to 100 iPhones reveals how App Store rankings can be manipulated. February 2015. URL: https://www.businessinsider.com/photo-shows-how-fake-app-store-rankings-are-made-2015-2 (visited on 2024-03-07).

      This source is showing how the app store rankings can be skewed based on people's manipulation of the app downloads. In this article it shows a women sitting in front of 100 iphones constantly deleting and redownloading apps to boost numbers and scores. It's pretty wild to think that the top app rankings might not actually be the truth when downloading apps.

    1. Bots might have significant limits on how helpful they are, such as tech support bots you might have had frustrating experiences with on various websites.

      I completely agree with this statement. The other day I was trying to make a REV account to order some groceries and snacks, and the bot kept sending me the incorrect code to verify my account to log in. I think situations happen like this all the time with other platforms and bots.
