week 6

I learned alot with these articles,but somethings I knew and other things I didn't know. I already knew about LAN lines and the internet. However I did not know much about network bridges and the three types. I had never heard of a datagram which was interesting to me. Amazingly this is something Nasa uses and that is unique to me. So this illustrates to me how vast technology is and will become even greater as time progresses. Communication and technology are complimentary it seems.

Muddiest Point

I did not know that wireless LAN technology used radio waves. I always thought there was difference...I also think that the article on Local Area Network should elaborate a little on octopus network.

week 5

The articles were interesting,but I am still a bit confused about the compression. However I think the imaging Pittsburgh article was excellent. This is a great way to show the culture of the city during those time periods.I also like the option of a keyword search, allowing the viewer a to narrow down a specific time or collection. As far as the youtube article,I think using it to advertise is a great idea because alot of people view youtube. The website sometimes places your ad or video as a suggestion in catergories. So the person would probably recieve more views.

week 5 Muddiest Point

I'm not sure I understand data compression. Is it saved encoded information?

Week 4

Databases always did interest me because it deals with information. The Hierachal model caught my attention because the way it's setup. I also like it because you can multiple data in a good order.
The metadata article was a good article, data about data. My first time ever hearing that term,it reminds me of Dr.Suess for reason. Since I maybe going into archive librarian work,I really observed this information in more depth.Acording to the article,archivists use it to provide visual info for researchers. I'm a visual learner,so this will go hand and with me. As far as the Dublin Core article I was a little confused about it.

I don't understand the sum of total of information as explained about metadata.....

Here are the comments I made recently....... http://thealleyview-1.blogspot.com/

Assignment 3/ Linux Program and Mac OS X

I have never heard of the Linux program until reading the article. I believe sometimes one idea can spark a technological revolution such as a group Bell Lab developers. I can tell that I am a little behind on computer software. However the article about Mac OS X, I have heard about. I knew some information about it,but received a deeper understanding of it. I have not used an apple computer in years and never learned of the Darwin packages. My definition of hacker and the Mac OS X's definition is totally different. I always thought a hacker was person who breaks in programs and computers and steals information. Well I definitely learned a significant amount information and found it very interesting.

Muddiest Point

I really did not understand the Vista software.... So is the Vista program more advanced than XP?

Muddiest Point

I wonder how far technology will go with the gigabytes?

Assignment 2

Moore's Law was very interesting to me because his conclusion has highly contributed to technology, also proved accurate. So in a sense he was man above his time,benefitting many companies, media and the public. As far as computer hardware,I learned alot concerning sound cards that I did not know.
