1. METHODS AND PROTOCOLS
KIERAN OWENS

2. MMORPG stands for massively multiplayer
online role playing game. An MMORPG
typically hosts thousands of players within
each of its servers, and features a large
open world map to explore freely.
These games allow players to progress at
their own rates, connect with other players
online. The games of this genre focus
primarily on persistence, and character
building via experience and earning abilities.

3. WIKIS
A Wiki is an internet server program which
enables uses to form content freely and
collaboratively. It operates solely on the
principal of collaborative trust, which
means users could potentially post
unreliable or bias information at will.
Easily the most popular wiki site is
Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia which
allows anyone to create and edit articles,
owned by the company Wikimedia.
I often use Wikipedia and other wiki sites to
gather information on certain subjects,
both in and out of education.

4. The G in 3G stands for generation, which
means that devices that use 3G are using 3rd
generation mobile networks. Originally, when
brought to the US in 2003, if offered ’mobile
broadband’ at typical internet speeds of
around 144Kbps (kilobits per second). Devices
using 4G are supposed have faster internet
speeds than 3G, but this isn’t always the case.
I regularly use 3G to check bus times when I
am unable to connect my phone to Wi-Fi,
which highlights the fact that 3G is perfect for
gathering information on the go.

5. Bluetooth is a wireless protocol that connects electronic devices by creating a personal-
area network (PAN) for you, as opposed to a local-area network (LAN) for example, which
would span a small area such as a single household.
Devices that are compatible with Bluetooth (like a headset for example) are useful as they
allow easy wireless use, for tasks such as having to answer a phone call whilst driving.
I often use Bluetooth to connect my mobile to my speakers, or when I prefer to use a
wireless mouse.

6. ISP’S
ISP is short for internet service provider, and
is a company that provides internet access to
both individuals and companies. For a
monthly fee, the service provider usually
provides a software package equipped with a
modem, which you can then use to access the
World Wide Web (WWW).
ISPs also serve large companies, providing a
direct connection from the company's
networks to the Internet. ISP services can also
include internet transit, domain name
registration, web hosting and Usenet service.
Popular ISP’s include AT&T, Verizon, and
Comcast.

7. WEB 3.0
Web 2.0 can be described as the ability for users
to share and send information quickly, which has
become the phenomenon we know as social
media. Websites such as Twitter and YouTube
are examples of this, a huge upgrade from Web
1.0, which used simple info websites and emails
as its primary way of sharing information.
Web 3.0 is being referred to as the semantic
web; semantic meaning data driven. It focuses
on delivering appropriate and useful information
to each individual user, based on what they
typically use or research. Essentially, what you
see is synonymous with what you interact with
on the web.
