WEEK 5: Information Emerging


NANOTECHNOLOGY
Nanotechnology (sometimes shortened to "nanotech") is the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. The earliest, widespread description of nanotechnology[referred to the particular technological goal of precisely manipulating atoms and molecules for fabrication of macroscale products, also now referred to as molecular nanotechnology. A more generalized description of nanotechnology was subsequently established by the National Nanotechnology Initiative, which defines nanotechnology as the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers.

GRID COMPUTING
Grid computing is the federation of computer resources from multiple locations to reach a common goal. The grid can be thought of as a distributed system with non-interactive workloads that involve a large number of files. What distinguishes grid computing from conventional high performance computing systems such as cluster computing is that grids tend to be more loosely coupled, heterogeneous, and geographically dispersed. Although a single grid can be dedicated to a particular application, commonly a grid is used for a variety of purposes. Grids are often constructed with general-purpose grid middleware software libraries.

QUANTUM COMPUTING
A quantum computer is a computation device that makes direct use of quantum mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. Quantum computers are different from digital computers based on transistors. Whereas digital computers require data to be encoded into binary digits (bits), quantum computation uses quantum properties to represent data and perform operations on these data. A theoretical model is the quantum Turing machine, also known as the universal quantum computer

SEMANTIC WEB
The Semantic Web is a collaborative movement led by the international standards body, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The standard promotes common data formats on the World Wide Web. By encouraging the inclusion of semantic content in web pages, the Semantic Web aims at converting the current web dominated by unstructured and semi-structured documents into a "web of data". The Semantic Web stack builds on the W3C's Resource Description Framework (RDF). According to the W3C, "The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries."

WEEK 4: User centered Design


USER CENTERED DESIGN.

For my own view, Facebook have a very good system that can make the entire user use it. This application has a very good design and system that can make user easily access through it. The main reason why I am saying so us whenever you login to the Facebook, it will appear the news feed in user account. People will love to see all the news and they can manage their account easily. Facebook also have its own application to make its entire user have fun because its have application such as games, and many more. User also can upload their picture to be shown and share any new news to all people.


USABILITY IN SOFTWARE DESIGN.
The purpose of usability in software design actually it is the one of user centered design methodology.


NEED FOR USER CENTERED DESIGN IN SOFTWARE DESIGN AND WEB APPLICATION
This will be a very main need to this application together with the web application because it will help user easily use it. This will make people love to use it.

How does Internet affect my life as a student?

Internet play an important role for me as a student. Actually i'm quite often use Internet for my work and also for my social life. Before this i had zero knowledge about internet but once I found it, that is quite important to me especially when it comes to affect my life as a student..

   Let me show you some example of social site that i'm use it everyday in order to communicate with others.:

 All of this social site i use it everyday to get information and sometimes to communicate with others.

  > Internet already make me addict to all of this social site.
  > Sometimes it affect my study time.
  > Lot of new knowledge i can gain from internet.






CAN I LIVE WITHOUT INTERNET CONNECTION FOR A DAY, A WEEK, A MONTH OR A YEAR????


    The answer was very simple for me... NO!!
                        You want to know WHY???




There area lot of think i want to do that related to the internet things. that's why i said i can't live without internet.. and it not even an hour i can stay without internet.



LIFE GETTING MORE COMPLICATED WITHOUT INTERNET


FEEL LIKE ALONE IN THIS WORLD..

The vision of one laptop per child, what is your opinion on this?

In this case, i think most of people out there already heard about this vision. For me I am not fight against this vision because as far on my thought i think this is the best way to educated child from the beginning and they will not have lack of knowledge. As i know, in Malaysia government already provide for their student in school. Each student will get want small laptop that we call it net book especially for student who will take the biggest exam which is SPM. Even i said that I will not fight against this vision, but for me we need to take a really good care for child nowadays because there are a lot of web that give the wrong information and also there are a lot of porn web out there that we can freely access through it. Parental guide are really need in order to take care of our child.


How has the development of information technology influenced the common traditions of a society?

 Actually the development of information technology had bring a big impact in a society. Start with the invention of the electrical that found by the scientist, people nowadays start to create a  new items to make people life easier and that also include the present of computers. people will start to think and they will start to use the new thing that can make their life easier. As we can see nowadays, there are a lot of new technologies that came around us and it also updated from time to time. This new technologies had make people life become smooth from time to time because sometimes when they had to make a deal or meeting with others, they can do it through online.The presents of computers and continue with the tablet and now, there are a lot of android technologies that make people crazy about it.


 Unlikely with the people at the previous time, they jut complete their work with the manual style but now if there are people that still do the same thing  manually, they will be considered as an old school people that are not open minded at all. Even now, people at the age 60 and above know how to use computer and we can see how technologies influence people..
