  • What are the advantages of using a database, like Microsoft Access, instead of a spreadsheet program, like Microsoft Excel, when managing your data?

While Excel allows for multiple pages of sheets to be created, Access allows for these sheets to relate to one another all in one database (hence relational database).

  • Which part of the tutorial made the most sense to you?

It was intuitive that we are able to import Excel sheets into Access. It's well-thought-out and makes starting a database seem like much less of a daunting task.

  • Which part of the tutorial do you feel least confident about?
  • What would you like to know more about?
  • The blog post mentions a "fraught relationship about data, privacy, and how private companies operate in public spaces."
  • What is this fraught relationship?
  • How do you feel about it? I.e., where do you stand on the trade-off between the "ease of use" you receive as a user and giving up your private data to companies who will use it to turn a profit?
  • What are the social justice issues involved?
