The first social networking site was Six Degrees, created in 1997. It allowed users to create profiles and list friends. Facebook is currently the most popular site with over 750 million users. Twitter has 200 million users and is used for microblogging. MySpace now has 50 million users and Flickr has 32 million users who share photos. Social networking has become integrated into everyday life through smartphone apps. Cyberbullying, sexual abuse, and privacy issues pose dangers on social networking sites.
Social networking sites (SNSs) such as Facebook, Twitter and Google+ have attracted millions of users, many of whom have integrated those sites into their daily practices. As of this writing, there are hundreds of SNSs, with various technological affordances, supporting a wide range of interests and practices

Overview of the Domain Name System (DNS).
In the early days of the Internet, hosts had a fixed IP address.
Reaching a host required to know its numeric IP address.
With the growing number of hosts this scheme became quickly awkward and difficult to use.
DNS was introduced to give hosts human readable names that would be translated into a numeric IP addresses on the fly when a requesting host tried to reach another host.
To facilitate a distributed administration of the domain names, a hierarchic scheme was introduced where responsibility to manage domain names is delegated to organizations which can further delegate management of sub-domains.
Due to its importance in the operation of the Internet, domain name servers are usually operated redundantly. The databases of both servers are periodically synchronized.
Effects of Social Media on Young AdultsRatan Rajpal
Social media has taken the world by storm through dozens of websites, mobile apps, and other forms of technologies improving the way people communicate with each other. There are social media sites that have millions of members allowing them to share photos, videos, text messages, and more on a regular basis. There are a large number of advantages and disadvantages to using such sites that leave researchers wondering if we are better off without it. Has social media improved or damaged the way people connect with each other?

Dangers of Social Media
The world has been evolving in a very swift rate. In just a matter of years modernization has reached countries with leading economies to even those that have limited means of communication or travelling. The last years of the 20th century and the start of the 21st century can be considered to be one of the most evolving eras of human kind. Technology and urbanization have just rocketed to the top, capitalism and profitability have become a priority over other thing and communication or travelling have become faster and easier. One of the main components responsible for all these changes is the computer and the internet, which has slowly paved ways of new online platforms like the Social Media. This innovation has replaced many different things has completely changed the lifestyle of people around the world. Businessman use social media to communicate with other personals, instead of travelling or one to one interacting with them. Online university programs have been created with the help of online video or audio calls, so students don’t need to be present in the class rooms during lectures for attending classes. This essay will talk about the negative and positive effects of social media on kids and adults, especially in the United Arab Emirates. The essay is opinioned, however to prevent bias, I have used sources from scholarly article to support my arguments about social media. The thesis statement for this essay is, Social media is very harmful for kids in UAE because kids get addicted to it easily and it can possess serious safety risks.
The computers were introduced initially in the 20th century for multiple reason, like the Enigma was used to encrypt the messages being sent by the German naval force during the World War 2. Moreover, the computer was also designed to help scientists with quick calculations and results. It is with time that new companies like the Apple and Microsoft, introduced new ways of using the computer. It was never used to be a tool of communication, however things changed further when the interned was established. Like, the computer, it was also very different to what it is today. The internet was used an alternate to phones, as the scientists tended to transfer their results to other places quickly by using it. The next stage was when smartphones were introduced and revolutionized the internet. Everything became portable, from getting information, to communication. Social Media was one of the main innovations during this time and it today, it can be considered to be one of the most influential and important inventions in human history. People of today, from kids to adults always have a phone with themselves, especially in developed and modernized countries like the United States of America, England and United Arab Emirates. Social Media is used by people in these countries in many different forms. YouTube is one of the most profitable and used component of social media today as it all.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
2. WHAT WAS THE FIRST SOCIAL NETWORKING
SITE?
The first social networking site was
called Six Degrees and was
created in 1997.
It was very basic and only allowed
users to create profiles and list their
friends.
Described itself as 'a tool to help
people connect with and send
messages to others.' It only lasted
a few years and ended in 2001.
To the right is a screenshot of what
Six Degrees looked like. As you
can see it was very basic and
wouldn't have been able to
compete with the competition in
today's market. (JCMA)
3. WHO ARE THE MAJOR SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES?
HOW MANY USERS DOES EACH OF THESE SITES
HAVE AND WHICH ONE IS THE MOST POPULAR?
The most popular social
networking site is FaceBook.
Even though it is the subject to
the media a lot because of
legal speculation, and their
sometimes absurd ideas, it
has 750 million users
worldwide. It has even had a
film made about its creator,
Mark Zuckerberg, and how he
created it. (Telegraph, 2011)
4. Twitter is the second most popular social
networking site as it has 200 million users. It is
used for micro blogging and following celebrities
and friends. It has also become a useful tool for
businesses as they can market their product to
worldwide audiences. (Telegraph, 2011)
5. MySpace has 50 million users worldwide. The site
used to have a lot more users but as social trends
changed people moved from MySpace onto more
sophisticated networking sites. It is now mostly
used by bands and artists who want to be noticed
by potential fans and record labels. (Telegraph,
2011)
6. Lastly, Flickr has 32 million users. This site is used
by photographers to share their photos with the
world. Bloggers also use this site to host pictures
they want to embed in their blogs. (Telegraph,
2011)
7. HOW HAS SOCIAL NETWORKING BECOME A
PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE?
Social networking sites have
converged onto other Internet
based platforms, like apps on
smart phones and music
devices.
For instance, Blackberry, iPhone
and HTC smart phones all have
social networking sites like
FaceBook and Twitter available
via a free downloadable app.
This means that the user can
connect to these sites virtually
anywhere they go.
They then become addictive with
the user checking the sites
regularly throughout the day.
8. WHAT ARE THE DANGERS OF SOCIAL
NETWORKING SITES?
The main dangers of social networking sites are:
Cyber bullying
Sexual abuse
Privacy
9. CYBER BULLYING
Cyber bullying has become more common as social
networking sites, like FaceBook and Twitter, have
become more and more popular among children
and young adults.
Bullies create fake accounts, leave abusive
message and emails, spread rumours and upload
nasty photos. These things can leave the victim
feeling lonely and scared. The Internet gives the
bullies lots of confidence as they aren't face to face
with the victim.
10. A survey carried out by the
National Crime Prevention
Centre, found that over 40% of
teenagers have reported being
bullied online (Cyber Bully
Alert, 2008.)
However, there are many more
who don't report cases of
cyber bullying.
In a recent incident an adult
was found guilty of writing
abusive comments on
memorial pages for young girls
who had recently died. As his
posts were hurting the feelings
of the friends and family
members of the young girls;
the man, called Sean Duffy,
was jailed for 18 weeks. (BBC,
2011)
11. SEXUAL ABUSE
As social networking isn't face to face interaction, many
people pretend to be someone else. They can gain their trust
and then encourage the child to talk and met up with them.
Any inappropriate sexual interaction between an adult and a
child is called, 'sexual grooming.' In 2006 the Child
Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) was set up
to help protect children from online sex offenders.
In 2009 they passed a rule that stated that every social
networking site and online chat room should display a CEOP
report button on their website. This is so children can report
sexual or abusive behaviour to the police. However,
FaceBook opted out of this scheme. (The Register, 2009)
12. PRIVACY
25% of the world population has access to the
Internet and this means a lot of people can access
the information you put on it.
Personal information and inappropriate pictures
should not be put onto any social networking site as
it can be easy for someone to take your pictures
and collect your personal information. If any of
these fall into the wrong hands it can have
disastrous consequences.
Some of these consequences can be seen in this
