Teletype First Invented
There comes a point at which all components necessary to allow for an idea or invention to flourish are in place. At that point – and not before – the
invention or idea takes off. In other words, when it's time to railroad, everybody railroads. This explains why so many inventors often file patents for
similar ideas within weeks and why it is so often difficult to ascertain who actually first invented something.
Teletype machines, in various forms, became the primary mechanism of remote computer access. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, it was common to
spot a computer tech lugging around a sixty–pound model 33 ASR1 complete with paper tape. Many backs were spared when Texas Instruments
introduced their ubiquitous Silent 700 terminals complete

The Impact Of Internet On The Way We Do Business?
What has been the impact, positive and negative, of the Internet on the way we do business?
Internet is defined as a global system of interconnected computer systems. The internet, as we see today, allows anyone to communicate with any other
person anywhere around the world without any effort or effective cost anonymously. The advance in technology ofInternet has led to faster
communications. For example the change of dependency from postal service to much faster e–mails, online banking, social networking etc. Everything
is now at our fingertips. We can now sit at the comfort of our homes and do certain tasks which were earlier time consuming. Today business has easier
global access due to Internet. It is cost–effective and almost all the functions can be automated to make it easier and faster. Even communication has
become cheaper and faster. But as Dr.Leonard Kleinrock stated, these benefits are a perfect combination to do bad things on the Internet. Further,
the internet was built with an idea of an open access where ideas can be shared freely. But this feature that is built on trust can be easily misused. I
agree with this statement of his, cyber security is still an important issue. As reported by the New York Times (Feb 5,2015) , Primera Blue Cross, a

I chose my topics, 'absent presence' and 'connected presence' because they relate to the larger topic of the Mobile Revolution and how individuals have

Abstract
Computer architecture is a set of rules that say how software and hardware interact to create a network or platform. In other words computer
architecture is the design of the network base on the needs of the user, the system if it is there or needs to be built, and the technology that needs to go
into the project. System design is all how all the hardware is set up while the instruction set architecture is the program language.

A client/server architecture is an end–to–end systems that contains server hosts (contains the resources and services needed by the client) and clients
(users or workstations in the network). "Most client/server networks have more than one client to a server so that the system shares computing power.
There are a few different kinds of servers to include file sharing, printer services, email services, database services, web services, and a server can
used for it power. Clients can access all of these different servers at one time and the servers can serve many clients." (Techopedia, 2014) For large
businesses with office throughout the country web based computing or cloud computing shows the greatest benefit. In web–based computing it is not
the local computer doing all the work but rather computers off site that do the work. The user's computer runs off of a cloud computing system's
interface software which uses the offsite network computers to do the work.
What OS file system should we use? I would recommend a Windows OS and file system. This is because Windows is straight forward. "There may
be too many distributions of Linux, it's possible that this is hurting Linux in the marketplace. It could be that the lack of a Linux distro from a major

is a computer system with the ability to control any machine it is linked to. In fact the name Jarvis is an acronym J.A.R.V.I.S that stands for Just A
Rather Very Intelligent System. Attention should be drawn to the fact that Jarvis; rather than simply shutting down, goes to sleep, Tony Stark refers to
him as a buddy,which is slang for friend and Jarvis has a sense of humor! This exemplifies the level of human capacity that the computer has. In line

The software provides assistive services like location–based restaurant suggestions, local weather and traffic updates, electronic event tickets, flight
information, and hands–free voice control that add additional functionality to the already user–friendly smartphone. To provide these useful services,
Google Now needs to be granted permission to access information from the user's Google account as well as the device's location and usage data.
This information, unique to each user, is used not only to provide Google Now services, but also is combined with information from other users in
mass data analyzes to improve services and to intelligently push advertising. However, Google's use of private information contradicts what users feel
is an appropriate practice. A Carnegie Mellon University study suggests that an overwhelming majority of people are uncomfortable with user
profiling. Participants of the study cited issues in the usefulness of the requesting service not being able to outweigh compromised privacy and a lack
of transparency from the requesting company about what happens to the user's data. In other words, services requiring user data must have significant
value to the user and need to inform the user with clear and precise language how one's data is being used.

the enrollment in science, technology, engineering, and math classes have increased in the past 20 years, the number of students enrolled in computer
science has actually decreased. This can be attributed to the neglect exhibited by schools on computer science. In these 20 years, 1 billion computers

Universities are already starting to require computer science classes, but this creates the question: How should computer science courses be
implemented in education before University? An optimal solution must teach social problem solving skills, increase the functionality of technology,

prior background knowledge in other related disciplines and a basic understanding of what computer can and cannot do. In order to properly implement
computer science in education, it should be required in high school education and teach the ubiquitous relationship that computer science has with the
social, technological, and futuristic aspects of the world.
Computer science is bound to have social impacts because of its ubiquitous nature. The most influential of these impacts is the introduction of
computational thinking. Computational Thinking is a process that generalizes a solution to open ended problems. Open–ended problems encourage

Another way that Hackers cause trouble is by altering the telephone switching networks at MCI, AT&T, and Sprint. By doing this they are able to listen
to any conversation they choose. Often–times they will listen in on the Police and
FBI communicating with each–other. This allows them to move to a new location before they are found. Some Hackers use their knowledge of the
telephone system to turn their enemies home telephone into a virtual pay–phone that asks for quarters whenever you take the phone off the hook.
A person to commits a computer crime in caught will very likely face a substantial punishment. Often these types of criminals are never caught unless
they really screw up. The most wanted Hacker Kevin Mitinick was tracked down and arrested after he broke into a computer that belonged to a
Japanese security professional. After this man noticed that someone had gotten into his computer he dedicated the rest of his life to tracking down
this one man. Kevin was able to say one step ahead of police for some time but the fatal mistake that he made was leaving a voice–mail message on a
computer bragging about the fact that he thought he was unstoppable. When he was arrested he faced a 250,000 dollar fine, 900 hours community
service, and a 10 year jail sentence. Many schools and small businesses still don't have a clue about how to deal with computer crimes and the like

There will be a lot needed into making the class to have computers which will support both subjects. This is because computing and art are different
subjects and having to bring both subjects together could demand a lot. Computers will be the key feature to making this class.
There is more into art than just having a pen and drawing or painting pictures on a paper. The technology has advanced and discovered new kind of art
within computers. Most of the modern day computers can support computing and basic art. In order to have a fully functioning computer that can cover
both subjects is having to get suitable software and having the right aspects in a computer. You don't want to be buying a computer and having to install
a software which will reduce the performance of the computer. It's important to know the aspects of a computer before buying.

are more computer companies that are suitable for both computing and arts but for now choose to call out the big names for a simple fact. They have

While on the same context, the article suggests that the security risk is likely to be exacerbated by global sharing of data and hence the possibility of

Privacy risks
In regards to privacy, Bertolucci notes that body adaptable wearable technologies are in most cases used to collect data about various body aspects.
He cites the example of a fitness tracker who is likely to use wearable electronics to collect data which is personally identifiable as well as sensitive
from a health perspective. Such information may be transferred through the internet and publicised without the athlete's consent. The article also
suggests that the health data from the wearable electronics may also be used by parties such as doctors and medical insurers against the wishes of the
consumer.
Adoption challenges
The article by Bertolucci also highlights that mass adoption of body adaptable wearable electronics is in the current times a key challenge. He
attributes this problem to the current balkanization of the market. More specifically, Bertolucci notes that wearable electronics lack a common
operating system. The current fragmentation prevents communication and interactions with similar devices and hence the inability to achieve mass
adoption. He concludes the article by emphasizing on the need for proactive steps to be undertaken in order to ensure a smooth takeoff for these devices.

organize your life, communicate with coworkers or friends, or do your job more efficiently. On the other hand, traditional cell phone without capable of
data transmission, "dumb phones," are not considered mobile computing. Increasingly, companies allow employees to connect to organizational
resources using their own devices for better accessibility and productivity, which can cause a risk of data breach. Mobile computing is everywhere,

The Positive And Negative Factors Of Mobile Computing
A.
Discuss how mobile computing has changed the way in which the Internet is used. Identify three changes to the Internet that have occurred as a result
of mobile computing and justify an argument about whether these are positive or negative factors.
Mobile computing is technology that has enabled users to obtain internet services while being in a state of constant motion. Conventionally, internet
could only be accessed only via Ethernet cable and users had to sit on one place in order to access internet. In this way, there existed no concept of
taking work to a trip or connecting to world anytime. With the invention of mobile computing, users can take their work in their hands. One can now
get internet service anywhere needed.
In this way, mobile computing has brought some major changes to the internet world; some of them include cloud computing, social media services
and e–commerce. Cloud computing is a service through which users can compute data, use applications and save their data online on internet. This
stored data and applications can be accessed anywhere anytime. For example, if a user saves some data online in cloud from home desktop and then
finds a need to access while being on a trip, it can be easily accessed through mobile phone or laptop just by connecting to internet. Similarly,
applications can be used while being mobile.
Social media is the biggest achievement of mobile computing. Mobile computing lead to the invention of smart phones and social media. Users once
used to connect remote friends through e–mails etc. and there was no proper way real time conversation. Now, social media allows to connect to
people in real time. Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram etc. are the social media applications which are nowadays handled on smart phones and users are
able to use them anytime they want. They help carry out live streaming sessions and real time services which was not possible with static computing.

In computing, calm technology aims to reduce the "excitement" of information overload by letting the user select what information is at the center of
their attention and what information is peripheral. The term was coined by Mark Weiser, chief technologist, and John Seeley Brown, director of the
Xerox Palo Alto Research Lab. In the coming age of ubiquitous computing in which technology will become at once pervasive yet invisible, Weiser and
Brown foresee the need for design principles and methods that enable users to sense and control what immediately interests them while retaining
peripheral awareness of other information possibilities that they can at any time choose to focus on. Calm technology, they envision, will not only relax
the user but, by moving unneeded information to the edge of an interface, allow more information to exist there, ready for selection when needed.

Taking a Look at the Internet of Things (IoT)
1. INTRODUCTION
Recently, the concept of the Internet as a set of connected computer devices is changed to a set of connected surrounding things of human's living
space, such as home appliances, machines, transportation, business storage, and goods etc. The number of things in the living space is larger than the
number of world population. Research is going on how to make these things to communicate with each other like computer devices communicate
through Internet. The communication among these things is referred as Internet of Things (IoT). Till now, there is no specific definition or standard
architecture of IoT. Some researchers define the IoT as a new model that contains all of wireless communication technologies such as wireless sensor
networks, mobile networks, and actuators. Each element of IoT is called a thing and should have a unique address. Things communicate using the
Radio–Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and work in harmony to reach a common goal. In addition, the IoT should contain a strategy to
determine its users and their privileges and restrictions.
Smart connectivity with existing networks and context–aware computation using network resources is an indispensable part of IoT. With the growing

leverage the "Internet of Things." The software provides assistive services like location–based restaurant suggestions, local weather and traffic updates,
electronic event tickets, flight information, and hands–free voice control that add additional functionality to the already user–friendly smartphone. To
provide these useful services, "Google Now" needs to be granted permission to access information from the user's Google account, as well as the
device's location and usage data (Google, 2016). This information, unique to each user, is used not only to provide "Google Now" services, but is
also combined with information from other users in mass data analyzes to improve services and intelligently direct advertising (Erickson, 2012).
However, Google's use of private information oversteps what users feel is an appropriate practice. A Carnegie Mellon University study suggests that
an overwhelming majority of people are uncomfortable with this user profiling. Participants of the study cited issues in the perceived usefulness of

The Impact Of Internet On The Information Industry After...
SCOPE
This era of computing and communication will extend beyond the realm of the traditional desktops, laptops and even mobile devices. The Internet of
Things aims to extend the Internet services into the real world day to day objects. Internet of Things is essentially an intelligent network of a wide
array of devices (information sensing devices) exchanging information and interacting with each other via the Internet and within the boundaries of
certain protocols. We can thus characterize IoT as an ecosystem of connected people, objects and services, enabled by a pervasive and transparent
technology designed to improve our quality of life. Internet of Things (IoT) can be envisaged as the single greatest technological wave in the
information industry after the magnanimous Internet. According to Garter's technology cycle curve, the interest in IoT reached its peak in 2014 and
ranks second in the top technological trends that would dominate in 2015 [1].
Even though the IoT trend seems pervasive, unified and seamless, there are still several factors that need to be taken care of before the actual
deployment of a full–fledged IoT network. The Internet of Things currently lacks in theory, structure and standards that integrate the Internet with the
real world sensing devices. Some of these factors include the provisioning low powered nodes, identification and locating the devices and being able to

Integrating certain information systems within a business organization will not only prove for a faster more efficient workplace but will also improve
the bottom line for company growth. Even though there are numerous information systems that can be implemented and utilized to improve the growth

The PowerPoint capability will also help managers in conducting presentations for training purposes. Essentially, an OAS will "focus on making
managers and professionals more productive and effective," (Gremillian and Pyburn, 1985, p 6, para 2). The only drawback in using this system would
be making sure that managers and employees stay up–to–date with the information provided in emails and calendars. The next proposed information
system for the business is the supply chain management system. In a nutshell, this system would mostly consist of inventory control and operations.
The benefit of this system would allow the company to request specific products based on the needs of the customers. Employees would be able to
familiarize themselves with the sending and receiving of inventory and learning about quality control. The only disadvantage to this system would be
providing low quality materials for customers, which results in product returns causing churn. The fourth information system to be utilized in growth
of a new company is the electronic commerce system, also known as ecommerce. This system will provide access for the company to reach out into the
global market keeping geographical limitations to a minimum, which in turn can cause growth and expansion. Ecommerce also enables small,

The Importance Of The Relevance Of The Data
The importance of the relevance of the data has been identified since the very early work in context–aware ubiquitous systems. Despite of its
importance few works have been carried out to quantify the QoC and ensure the quality of the information on which the decisions and actions of
contextaware systems are based. Moreover, many decision support techniques are insufficient to address the runtime uncertainty in the context
information as they do not assess the QoC in an end–to–end fashion. We formulate the related work into two parts: 1) QoC attributes and modeling
aspects
2) Runtime decision support addressing uncertainty
A. QoC attributes and modeling aspects
QoC attributes and their modeling comes into play to capture the uncertainties in context data. A well designedmodel is a key assessor to the quality of

With the rapid development of ubiquitous computing technologies, the concept, the principle architecture, and the mechanisms behind decision support
systems evolve significantly. Ubiquitous support systems operate in an environment that proactively assists people in their daily lives under changing
circumstances. In such a dynamic situation, what might be a good decision in one scenario, could be an awful one for another scenario. As such, the
best decision usually depends on the current situation. The major challenge that such ubiquitous systems face is being aware of the impact of their
decisions and actions over time so that they can reason about the outcomes of their actions and learn from their mistakes as humans do. Context [1] is
defined as any information that can be used to characterize the situation of an entity, where an entity can be an object, place or person relevant to the
current scope of the system. Context data drives the decisions and actions in an ubiquitous environment. Making well–informed decisions is a key to
reduce the risk of negative outcomes. For instance, in healthcare applications, it is crucial to have high confidence in the quality of the information
upon which decisions are based. However, the Quality of Context (QoC) can highly affect the decision outcomes of the system. As context can be

Teletype First Invented

  • 1. Teletype First Invented There comes a point at which all components necessary to allow for an idea or invention to flourish are in place. At that point – and not before – the invention or idea takes off. In other words, when it's time to railroad, everybody railroads. This explains why so many inventors often file patents for similar ideas within weeks and why it is so often difficult to ascertain who actually first invented something. Teletype machines, in various forms, became the primary mechanism of remote computer access. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, it was common to spot a computer tech lugging around a sixty–pound model 33 ASR1 complete with paper tape.

Internet is defined as a global system of interconnected computer systems. The internet, as we see today, allows anyone to communicate with any other person anywhere around the world without any effort or effective cost anonymously. The advance in technology ofInternet has led to faster communications. For example the change of dependency from postal service to much faster e–mails, online banking, social networking etc. Everything is now at our fingertips. We can now sit at the comfort of our homes and do certain tasks which were earlier time consuming. Today business has easier global access due to Internet. It is cost–effective and almost all the functions can be automated to make it easier and faster. Even communication has become cheaper and faster. But as Dr.Leonard Kleinrock stated, these benefits are a perfect combination to do bad things on the Internet. Further, the internet was built with an idea of an open access where ideas can be shared freely. But this feature that is built on trust can be easily misused. I agree with this statement of his, cyber security is still an important issue. As reported by the New York Times (Feb 5,2015) , Primera Blue Cross, a health insurance based company based in Washington State, where the hackers gained access to the computers on May 5, 2015, and the breach was not discovered until Jan 29, 2015.

Further, both concepts look at the wider implications of networked individualism and how ICTs have allowed for users greater autonomy in how they choose to engage with and contact others, forming new opportunities and limitations (Raine, Wellman 2012).

A client/server architecture is an end–to–end systems that contains server hosts (contains the resources and services needed by the client) and clients (users or workstations in the network). "Most client/server networks have more than one client to a server so that the system shares computing power. There are a few different kinds of servers to include file sharing, printer services, email services, database services, web services, and a server can used for it power. Clients can access all of these different servers at one time and the servers can serve many clients."

[holds out arms] Tony Stark: Sorry, they 're only coded to me. Don 't worry, I got you covered. [a suit approaches Rhodey] Jarvis: Good evening, Colonel. Can I give you a lift? Colonel James Rhodes: Very funny. (Ironman 1) These are extracts taken from the Marvel blockbuster movie Ironman. By the face of it they seem as normal conversations taking place amongst three characters. However, in relation to the topic of this paper, Jarvis will be the example that is being brought into attention. Jarvis is not a person, rather it is a computer system with the ability to control any machine it is linked to. In fact the name Jarvis is an acronym J.A.R.V.I.S that stands for Just A Rather Very Intelligent System. Attention should be drawn to the fact that Jarvis; rather than simply shutting down, goes to sleep, Tony Stark refers to him as a buddy,which is slang for friend and Jarvis has a sense of humor!

However, Google's use of private information contradicts what users feel is an appropriate practice.

Participants of the study cited issues in the usefulness of the requesting service not being able to outweigh compromised privacy and a lack of transparency from the requesting company about what happens to the user's data.

Even as the enrollment in science, technology, engineering, and math classes have increased in the past 20 years, the number of students enrolled in computer science has actually decreased. This can be attributed to the neglect exhibited by schools on computer science. In these 20 years, 1 billion computers have been built which makes computer science "integrated": so baked into human life that it is not surprising to encounter, with social, technological, and futuristic aspects of the world.

In order to properly implement computer science in education, it should be required in high school education and teach the ubiquitous relationship that computer science has with the social, technological, and futuristic aspects of the world. Computer science is bound to have social impacts because of its ubiquitous nature. The most influential of these impacts is the introduction of computational thinking. Computational Thinking is a process that generalizes a solution to open ended problems.

Hackers and Crackers break into computer systems for any of a wide variety of reasons.

By doing this they are able to listen to any conversation they choose. Often–times they will listen in on the Police and FBI communicating with each–other. This allows them to move to a new location before they are found. Some Hackers use their knowledge of the telephone system to turn their enemies home telephone into a virtual pay–phone that asks for quarters whenever you take the phone off the hook. A person to commits a computer crime in caught will very likely face a substantial punishment. Often these types of criminals are never caught unless they really screw up. The most wanted Hacker Kevin Mitinick was tracked down and arrested after he broke into a computer that belonged to a Japanese security professional. After this man noticed that someone had gotten into his computer he dedicated the rest of his life to tracking down this one man. Kevin was able to say one step ahead of police for some time but the fatal mistake that he made was leaving a voice–mail message on a computer bragging about the fact that he thought he was unstoppable. When he was arrested he faced a 250,000 dollar fine, 900 hours community service, and a 10 year jail sentence.

Privacy risks In regards to privacy, Bertolucci notes that body adaptable wearable technologies are in most cases used to collect data about various body aspects. He cites the example of a fitness tracker who is likely to use wearable electronics to collect data which is personally identifiable as well as sensitive from a health perspective. Such information may be transferred through the internet and publicised without the athlete's consent. The article also suggests that the health data from the wearable electronics may also be used by parties such as doctors and medical insurers against the wishes of the consumer. Adoption challenges The article by Bertolucci also highlights that mass adoption of body adaptable wearable electronics is in the current times a key challenge. He attributes this problem to the current balkanization of the market. More specifically, Bertolucci notes that wearable electronics lack a common operating system.

Mobile computing is technology that has enabled users to obtain internet services while being in a state of constant motion. Conventionally, internet could only be accessed only via Ethernet cable and users had to sit on one place in order to access internet. In this way, there existed no concept of taking work to a trip or connecting to world anytime. With the invention of mobile computing, users can take their work in their hands. One can now get internet service anywhere needed. In this way, mobile computing has brought some major changes to the internet world; some of them include cloud computing, social media services and e–commerce. Cloud computing is a service through which users can compute data, use applications and save their data online on internet. This stored data and applications can be accessed anywhere anytime. For example, if a user saves some data online in cloud from home desktop and then finds a need to access while being on a trip, it can be easily accessed through mobile phone or laptop just by connecting to internet. Similarly, applications can be used while being mobile. Social media is the biggest achievement of mobile computing. Mobile computing lead to the invention of smart phones and social media.

The term was coined by Mark Weiser, chief technologist, and John Seeley Brown, director of the Xerox Palo Alto Research Lab. In the coming age of ubiquitous computing in which technology will become at once pervasive yet invisible, Weiser and Brown foresee the need for design principles and methods that enable users to sense and control what immediately interests them while retaining peripheral awareness of other information possibilities that they can at any time choose to focus on. Calm technology, they envision, will not only relax the user but, by moving unneeded information to the edge of an interface, allow more information to exist there, ready for selection when needed. 1.1.1WHAT IS PERVASIVE COMPUTING ?

INTRODUCTION Recently, the concept of the Internet as a set of connected computer devices is changed to a set of connected surrounding things of human's living space, such as home appliances, machines, transportation, business storage, and goods etc. The number of things in the living space is larger than the number of world population. Research is going on how to make these things to communicate with each other like computer devices communicate through Internet. The communication among these things is referred as Internet of Things (IoT). Till now, there is no specific definition or standard architecture of IoT. Some researchers define the IoT as a new model that contains all of wireless communication technologies such as wireless sensor networks, mobile networks, and actuators. Each element of IoT is called a thing and should have a unique address. Things communicate using the Radio–Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and work in harmony to reach a common goal.

SCOPE This era of computing and communication will extend beyond the realm of the traditional desktops, laptops and even mobile devices. The Internet of Things aims to extend the Internet services into the real world day to day objects. Internet of Things is essentially an intelligent network of a wide array of devices (information sensing devices) exchanging information and interacting with each other via the Internet and within the boundaries of certain protocols. We can thus characterize IoT as an ecosystem of connected people, objects and services, enabled by a pervasive and transparent technology designed to improve our quality of life. Internet of Things (IoT) can be envisaged as the single greatest technological wave in the information industry after the magnanimous Internet. According to Garter's technology cycle curve, the interest in IoT reached its peak in 2014 and ranks second in the top technological trends that would dominate in 2015 [1]. Even though the IoT trend seems pervasive, unified and seamless, there are still several factors that need to be taken care of before the actual deployment of a full–fledged IoT network.

  • 40. Is Society Becoming too Dependent on Computers Essay The computer has been one of man's most influential inventions, paving the way for greater achievements with time. Today, computers have become an essential component in fulfilling everyday tasks in both our professional and personal lives. Computers are used to store vast amounts of information, and even replace humans in factories throughout the world. We must now ask ourselves, is this reliance on computers aiding the human mind in achieving its full potential or rather replacing it and hindering our progress? Society has now become dependant on computers. How does this machine affect our youth and learning process? We have invented a machine with a greater, and faster learning capacity as our own. A new generation has risen that have ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Many supporters from this group also point out that the computer can be controlled and that computers are only as smart as we allow them to be, by themselves computers are quite dependant machines. Supporters of the anti–computer usage group state that computers hinder us more than they aid us. They believe we have invented a machine with a greater and faster learning capacity and soon there may be no need for us humans. Our sense of creativity and ingenuity is neither needed nor utilized as we can easily use a computer application to achieve those once rare results by that of human ingenuity. The internet through the use of the computer is now a medium for a number of services, such as online chatting, social sites, and dating. Interactions between humans have suffered with the use of these services. Those once memorable face–to–face moments have been replaced by a few clicks of the keyboard and mouse. There are individuals who cannot survive without the computer and in its absence suffer from depression and anxiety. In factories around the world, there are computers doing the jobs of once hard working men and women. This not only contributes to the unemployment rate, but also puts us in a position where we must question the need for humans in the work place. Basic daily tasks are now unnecessarily achieved by the computer and our children are no longer driven to improve on their mental and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 41. Technology And The Internet Of Things The world of computers is continuously shrinking at a rapid rate. Coincidentally, computing systems, now more than ever are finding themselves integrated into different aspects of society. From lightbulbs to coffee makers, integrated computing systems are creating a dynamic network of ubiquitous devices. "The internet of things" is the connection and intercommunication of such ubiquitous computing devices in the physical world through the internet. Devices in this network spontaneously retrieve and contribute information with one another to improve the quality of life for the user. Varying greatly from virtual reality, "the internet of things" is a passive augmentation of the human experience rather than a complete removal from it. Despite the seemingly non–intrusive and benign effects to its users, "the internet of things" has been met with immense criticism. Connected devices currently active in "the internet of things" have challenged society's current view of privacy, have created the potential for a new source of dangerous electronic waste, and put people in physical harm. While the movement to ubiquitous computing through "the internet of things" presents the opportunity to advance society and improve the quality of life, ethical, safety, and environmental concerns should first be addressed before accepting implementation of this controversial system.

  • 42. We Should Not Take Technology And Computer 's Usefulness... We should not take technology and computer's usefulness for granted. Billions of people use computers every day, yet only a fraction have the patience to understand what they are doing. Or, the actual consequences of their actions and in turn cause problems for themselves and others. As a result the same precautions that are made to protect themselves are not applied when using a computer. More people need to treat these computers as tools that can be used to make our lives and the world better even if the world is changing, for better or worse. As such, people must learn what a computer is to recognize it, what these computers need to stay maintained, and how, as an individual, people must take control of their technology to bring themselves into the modern world. Computers are defined in the Webster dictionary as a programmable usually electronic device that can store, retrieve, and process data. These could be anything from as small as calculators to cabinets the size of buildings. They are well established into the daily lives of most of the people in the world, if you tried to avoid computers entirely you would find it difficult when your food is packaged with computers, cars are ran with computers, odds are even your refrigerator has a computer in it. Check your food packaging, most of the time there is a barcode on it. That means that the package had to be scanned by computers many times before it reached your shelves.

Or the environment where the virtuality will became the reality? Let's try to give the definition of ubiquitous computing, its development, including the key people and places influencing its development, and finally some concerns raised by this new approach for putting technology and people together. Already, one name has been reoccurring when talking about ubiquitous computing: Mark Weiser. In 1991 Mark Weiser thought of as the founder of what we now term ubiquitous computing, wrote an article for Scientific American entitled "The Computer for the 21st Century". In it, Weiser describes the multiple computers in a ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... But now current technology will not meet the demands of ubiquitous computing. Using current technology it is not possible to simply move information from place to place. This lack of data creates a huge cost on the information technology industry. A large amount of time is spent by developers changing the format of data: the lists of formats are endless. Our vision is based on the idea that a concept has a minimal size of binary data. This minimal format should be the format used to record and exchange information between applications and across networks. It should be the format which can be moved between systems and software easily, securely and simply. Whether we think of physics, chemistry or biology the contrast is the same; these sciences are driven by the urge to understand and ours by the urge to build. I consider that applications of ubiquitous computing in such a areas as Urban environment to systematically design environments that unite physical architecture with ubiquitous technologies as human computer interaction В– service directory , attention management , ubiquitous healthcare – warning people of their problems and gathering data for research, automating highway , to study monitoring and control of private vehicles on a public highway, with particular reference to efficiency of road use and to safety, will be very useful to our world.

  • 46. The Theory, The Principle Architecture, And The Mechanisms With the rapid development of ubiquitous computing technologies, the concept, the principle architecture, and the mechanisms behind decision support systems evolve significantly. Ubiquitous support systems operate in an environment that proactively assists people in their daily lives under changing circumstances. In such a dynamic situation, what might be a good decision in one scenario, could be an awful one for another scenario. As such, the best decision usually depends on the current situation. The major challenge that such ubiquitous systems face is being aware of the impact of their decisions and actions over time so that they can reason about the outcomes of their actions and learn from their mistakes as humans do. Context [1] is defined as any information that can be used to characterize the situation of an entity, where an entity can be an object, place or person relevant to the current scope of the system. Context data drives the decisions and actions in an ubiquitous environment. Making well–informed decisions is a key to reduce the risk of negative outcomes. For instance, in healthcare applications, it is crucial to have high confidence in the quality of the information upon which decisions are based. However, the Quality of Context (QoC) can highly affect the decision outcomes of the system. As context can be inherently ambiguous, we need certain attributes that signify the adequacy or degree of suitability of the context data. This degree of suitability is ...
