Internet infrastructure-Connectivity (Topic 2 number 7)

Hello:) :)

 Figure 8 - Picture of Vodafone 31 Mbps modem (Olx, n.d ).

My internet infrastructure allowing me to connect to the World Wide Web is that a Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite application needs to be installed. This enables the use of connectivity. Once this application has been installed, i need to connect to my internet service provider which will supply me with a connection to the web. Then i connect a 3G modem to the usb hub of the computer. The application installed, the connectivity is achieved by pressing connect and opening the internet. This is my internet infrastructure allowing my connectivity.

E-commerce website consumer credibility (Topic 2 number 11)

Hello:):)

E-commerce stands for Electronic commerce. E-commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services over the internet- World Wide Web (Rouse, 2005).

A consumer to have a way to evaluate an e-commerce website testing its credibility is to make sure the consumer reviews the content, attractiveness, advertisement and functionality of the e-commerce website (Madison, n.d ).  


Two reasons that a consumer might be able to assess an e-commerce website is credible or not is by checking if the e-commerce website has the right software as well as the correct maintenance for the website (Sharoo, 2013).

Encoding_UTF-8_definition

Hello :)

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?><report>
Website:  http://google.com/sktool/

A UTF-8 is a type of character encoding is a method to present characters so that computers can understand. The character encoding is basically how to turn the characters into 0s and 1s. The UTF-8 is the most recent character encoding which is developed that will support all the characters from a list called Unicode. Unicode assigns a number called code point for each of the characters that it recognises.  The UTF-8 provides a way to represent the code points as bits (Anon, 2009).

Examples of Technology (Topic 1 number 4)

Figure 5: Tumblr (Tumblr, n.d.) 

Hello :)

Technology can be defined as a " branch of the knowledge that deals with the creation and the use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment which also includes drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts,engineering, applied science, and pure science" (Dictionary.reference.com, 2013).

Figure 6: Shuttershock (Briansolis,2013)

Three examples of technology are:
1. Twitter
2. Facebook
3. Blackberry Messenger

Twitter is a form of micro-blogging service that enables internet users to send and read text based messages. Twitter can be accessed by any type of technology for example an Ipone or Ipad (Deepchund, 2013). Blackberry Messenger is a term which stands for BBM in which users can send and receive messages in seconds with up to 2000 characters, and users are able to know when a message has been delivered and read (Deepchund, 2013). The user can share photos, videos, voice notes and files of up to 6MB. BBM can only be accessed via using a Blackberry phone. Facebook is a well known networking service and website that allows people all over the world to get to know each other via this website(Deepchund, 2013). On facebook, the internet users create a personal profile by adding photos,information about themselves (the users) or any information in which the internet user cares to share on his or her profile and by adding other users as friends (Deepchund, 2013).

Introducing: Miss PacMan (Topic 1 number 1)

Hello Everyone :)

My name is Miss Pac-Man and i was born on May 22 1980 by a Japenese game designer Toru Iwantani. My name, Pacman derived from the Japanese slang word "paku-paku", which means "to eat".  I am described as a yellow, pie shaped Pac-Man creature with a bright red bow and lips. I travel around a maze with a dark blue background trying to munch dots and different types of fruit (Rosenberg, n.d). I avoid four terrifying different coloured ghost monsters named: Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde (Rathjen, n.d). My goal in life to pass and succeed each level or phase that appears. I am able to find information about myself online, on all sorts of different websites for example: http://history1900s.about.com/od/1980s/qt/Pac-Man.htm. The biggest area online that I, as Miss Pac-Man have participated on is through social networking via twitter and facebook for example and through media networking via for example: www.weheartit.com. My digital footprint has appeared all over the world which started in Japen, then spread quickly to the USA. Here are some examples of my digital footprint: http://worldsbiggestpacman.com/ , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man  , http://www.sploder.com/games/members/sheperd81/play/pacman-worldwide/ and many more.
