    Please put your sources for these definitions - this can just be a copy of the website address to show from where you got the information. If all from the same location, then this can be put at the end of your post.

Survey results and analysis + SWOT Analysis

In the last weeks I have created a survey to gather informations, which can potentially give me some ideas about my software and how I can improve it in order to fulfil expectations of potential clients. To analyse all of data gathered I used charts that were generated automatically in the Google Forms and SWOT Analysis of data in charts. In the first part of my survey I am asking respondents about themselves do predict if there are any chances that they are on some higher positions in companies that they are working for.

As I am using an AI provided by google, so I do not need to save files as outcome from my program. The one and only thing I need is access to pictures and to the internet to connect with API. My program should contain some sort of protection to avoid users to share the documents from the computer and other private data. Also the connection between users computer, my fruit recognition program and Google Vision API should be encrypted, however not necessarily as there are only fruits to recognise, but if for eg. I will be willing to make a program, which recognised level of someones smile, so that kind of data should be encrypted as we are using someones face.  My application also should not use users data like password and users name and fortuna...
