Learnings from this class

Though I was born where technology advancements were at an all-time high I don’t know all the ins and outs of technology. I still till this day am I learning new things every day from family friends, surprisingly enough I learn new things from my eight-year-old brother. But, if we put it in to perspective my little brother was born in to technology whereas me 21 years ago was slowly exposed to technology. Back when I was in grade school we would have a physical copy of everything textbooks, notebooks, we wouldn’t use anything digital, comparing that to my brother they probably use 85% digital tools and 15% physical. I really would like to know some of the ways all this new technology is bad for us and the upcoming generations. To the naked eye we see how convenient technology makes our lives but with all that there must be a downside and that’s what I’d like to know. From my understanding it is that it has been accessible for larger corporations and the government to track us based on the data from our advanced technology phones. I was born in an era when the internet had already been developed and was slowly on the rise I would like to know the process behind what started the world wide web. I was would like to learn how all these massive corporations store mass amounts of data and how it is kept secret.

Shadrach white has been successful and started various different companies such as Image source. When Washington had passed the recreational marijuana bill where it was basically legalized, Shadrach had been in the right place at the right time. When the legalization bill was passed local agencies needed to find a way for businesses to obtain the proper licensing from the agency and be able to renew it every year. Shadrach then started a basic website for the agencies thru Amazon Web Services and presented it to the agency. Now if we analyze this a website was created in the matter of minutes thru Amazon web services. No one had to write up all the code and manually create this, it was all done thru AWS. ShadRach started what he now calls Airlift. Airlift is a way for governmenta...

Dot com to Dot bomb

Dot com to Dot bomb put things in to perspective from where technology started to where it is now. This statement can be used two ways to explain certain things such the size of how technology started and how technology was used when it first began. Computers were first made for use by huge companies two reasons for that were the costs of the computers were huge and only major companies were the ones that could afford, second reason being only companies had the need for the such technology the public didn’t need the computer. Even mass storage for computer was very space occupying, if we look at captain America when they are in the bunker the room was full of storage.

Websites such as Yahoo.com and Amazon were launched which...

Similarities between post office mail and email-          Both mail and email have a mailbox to receive mail.- Post mail has a box built outside of each home that receives mail. Email has an inbox that receives all incoming mail.          Mail and email both a centralized location where the mail is collected and then re-distributed to the receiver.          Both are used by advertisers to solicit people.- Advertisers send mass emails to people to get people to know about sales.
