1. Could the 2004 Athens Olympics have been a success without all of the networks and backup technologies?

Ans: I think it will not be successful without the use of all of the networks and backup technologies, because of the use of networks and backup technologies the things are easily do and make faster. In technology backup is more important even in the Olympic it is useful and also because just like what Phillips said that there might be a “crazy scenarios” regarding on the project. If there will be no back up or network they would be having a difficulty of having a data if there will be a problem on the project.

2. The 2004 Olympics is a global business. Can a business today succeed without information technology? Why or why not?

Ans: Yes 2004 Olympic is a global business because many company can make money use of it. Like communication networks company, media, and etc. As far as I know business today will not succeed without the use of information technology because we are in the information technology generation. Technology today is highly demanded by people even in business.

3. Claude Philipps said dealing with “crazy scenarios of what might happen in every area: a network problem, staff stopped in a traffic jam, a security attack . . . everything that might happen,” was the reason for so much testing. Can you think of other businesses that would require “crazy scenario” testing? Explain.

Ans: a business that would require “crazy scenario” testing is the department of justice website as I seen in the new a long ago that the website of DOJ has been hacked by a hacker that is if you open the site the Disney site will appear. They will need the “crazy scenario” to protect their site.
