As Logan mentioned in his TEDx talk,  when he grows up he only wants to be happy and healthy. In 2003, Logan discussed how hacking education is helping him to get closer to his goal.

Affect means to influence or alter something.

Example: If you cast your vote, you can affect the outcome of the election.

An effect is the result or outcome of a cause.

Example: The effects of the drought were visible across the valley.

Remember this: Most of the time, AFFECT spelled with an A is a verb,and EFFECT spelled with an E is a noun.
