Who are the parties benefitting from the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA)? What are the consequences of allowing uniformity in click-wrap agreements?
What will be an ideal response?
The UCITA would help software makers because it favors click-wrap agreements, and there would be uniformity to such agreements. This still leaves the question of enforcement of such agreements when they are between other business entities or governments. Debate exists among those who want uniformity and critics who believe software makers would use uniformity to argue that they are not responsible for defects in the software they sell. Some of the concerns related to uniformity are whether consumers will read the fine-print disclaimers and who will take up responsibility for a software virus.

Alexander Demetrius Dickson, ADD to his friends, has three big projects he is working on, and he can't seem to organize his time effectively. Each of the three projects, we'll call them A, B, and C, should take ten days to complete
He is currently contemplating two different approaches. Approach one is to work each project to completion before starting on the next. The problem with this approach is that he tends to burn out if he works on one task for an extended period of time. For every two days he works on one single task, he finds he must take a half day off. ADD's alternative is to multitask, that is, work on project A for a day, then switch to project B for a day, before switching to project C for a day. The problem with this approach is that there is a small setup time equaling one-quarter of a day associated with each transition. Use a Gantt chart to show the effect of each approach and determine which method is the best (has the overall fastest completion time) for performing this work.
