"Conscience of a Hacker" is a great story because it has the perspective of an actual hacker and not of what other people think they are. It teaches us how sometimes you can see something or someone and judge it without really knowing, when you really shouldn't. "Conscience of a Hacker" tells us how a hacker feels and sees things. It let's us understand them and know why they do the things they do.

My Big Question:
Why do they let old people drive when they can cause a lot of accidents?

"The Laughing Heart"
This image is another great example of satire because it is the definition of irony combined with some humor. First of all, the sign says "No posting of signs on public property", while this is clearly a sign that was posted in that exact property! Then, it also shows a picture of what they don't want you to do, but for that sign to be up there it's clear that they had to do it to get the paper there in the first place.
This image is also an example of satire because it shows the stupidity of one of the teenagers in the picture. They are in a pretty troublesome situation, but the male is happy that he finally "aced a test". While in this case I think anyone their age would prefer to fail this type of test.
This image represents satire because it is ironic how all these hints are "supposedly" how to spot a criminal. When in reality this is just a description of a normal/non problematic teenager. There are also no signs that this teen is a criminal by anything that he is wearing or doing.
