Skip to content TECHNOLOGY, SOCIAL MEDIA, INTERNET BROAD PATTERNS IN TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE Technology is the collective term for any methods, materials, techniques, or procedures utilized in the creation of products or services and in their realization of certain goals, including scientific experimentation. One of the most important areas in technology is engineering. Engineers are responsible for the design and manufacture of a variety of technological systems. The scope and growth of technology has led to an increased need for qualified engineers who have these skills and expertise in a wide variety of technological positions. A qualified engineer must be skilled in a number of specific areas. In addition to technical skills, an engineer must possess knowledge and skills in business theory, management principles, and the basic mathematics of technology. Graduates who pursue a Bachelors degree in computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or electrical technology can achieve positions as computer systems analysts, computer software engineers, computer systems architects, computer systems engineers, computer systems analysts, or system engineers. These positions are generally considered entry level and require at least a year of internship and on-the-job training. Students pursuing a Bachelors degree in computer science can pursue a career path that combines programming languages with scientific principles. Areas of technology literacy include research methods, numerical analysis, algorithm designs, and scientific methodologies. Graduates with degrees in these areas can work for industry-related companies, begin their own businesses, or work in academic settings that contribute to the improvement of our society. There are several different programs available to suit students’ needs; however, some programs require specific talents that are in short supply among many students. Some of the most important innovations and discoveries made over the past century came from the fields of chemistry and physics, specifically from those who applied new materials to understand physical phenomena. Two individuals who fit this mold are Enrico Fermi and Joavier Carlsten. Because both received their degrees in physics, they independently made important contributions to the field of mechanics and consequently to many other areas of science. Other notable scholars include Alfred Nobel Prize winner Sir Alfred Nobel, Liebig Prize winner Sir Alexander Fleming, and Sir Harry Emerson Fosdick. Industrial arts and applied science have changed vastly since the late nineteenth century. The twentieth century saw a rise in all areas of science and technology. For example, while electric lighting and appliances were previously used in mining and manufacturing, they were employed to revolutionize the electrical power industry. Similarly, while mining and manufacturing were sectors that suffered from the Great Depression, they were able to overcome their shortcomings during the Great Post-World War I industrial boom. As a result, there has been a substantial increase in all fields of science and technology. With these broad patterns of change, it is important for students to identify and examine these development trends and identify how they relate to the discipline of science and technology. In addition, by studying both classical and contemporary patterns of change, students can also develop important competencies in teaching and research. By identifying and exploring these broad patterns, students can build a rich understanding of the discipline of science and technology.

The use of this service is easy and requires a few working principles to be followed. First, you must sign up to an account with the company or organization through which you will be using the Internet for your purchases. Once you are registered to your chosen service, you can check out their offers on the Internet. Most often, these offers are made available only during the launch of a product or service. Before making use of this facility, it is essential to know the details and features of the service. It is also important to establish whether your personal data is secure. It is advised that when you sign up with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) you create a unique username and password. This is because your IP address is registered with the ISP and is visible to all users of the InterNet. Your router also shows the location of your computer even while you are offline. One can easily go to a shopping cart on the site or have it installed on their web browser. Once your IP address is logged by the hackers, they will know where you shop as well as where you have shopped recently. Therefore, always keep your personal data and credit card details safe by going for a secure site. It is better to go for a shopping cart that charges a minimum amount for each item purchased. This is because it reduces the risk of hacking. Many websites offer InterNet shopping as a means to attract visitors. Some sites offer free InterNet access while others charge a fee for it. Before selecting any service, it is necessary to read the terms and conditions. While buying items on InterNet, make sure that the items are compatible with your operating system. After buying something on the Internet, you need to make your purchase, download your products and then use your credit or debit card to complete the transaction. Make sure to go for a secured site so that your personal information is safe. If you are paying through the use of a shopping cart, check out the site thoroughly and only buy from a trusted merchant. Last but not least, make use of your InterNet account regularly. Go online to check your account. Also, go for InterNet shopping carts that allow you to pay using your credit card or debit card. Keep track of every purchase you make and you can be sure to keep your identity safe.

In fact, the term “social” was first used in 1970s to define the internet and the ways people interact through it. In its basic form, social network is a set of interacting users or communities who share common interests, values, and life experiences. This concept is very much applicable to non-traditional forms like blogging, wikis and forums. The need for a strategic social media strategy is now more urgent than ever, because in today’s business environment, the social media landscape is constantly changing and evolving. In addition to this, there is a rapid increase in the amount of people who want to create their own online community on the Internet. To deal with all these challenges, it is now more important than ever for a company to have a well-defined social media plan, from its inception to its execution. It should not be taken lightly and implemented with full preparation and seriousness. There are five main objectives that any SME should focus on during the development of a social media management strategy. These are: Targeting the right audience. Social media networks provide a platform where different types of organizations can be easily found, talked about and networked with each other. Since there are many types of people, organizations and interests, it is important to make sure that the target audience is identified. In this regard, companies should have a clearly defined target audience so that the appropriate message or approach can be adopted. The message should be targeted towards the right audience so that it can be easily shared with them. Effectual utilization of the platform. SMEs should ensure that the platform they choose is able to deliver the promise that they made of their marketing campaign. A company that promises high conversion, excellent results and significant expansion potential should not expect great returns from social media marketing. Instead, such an entity should have a strategy that makes use of the platforms’ capabilities to deliver results. To do this, social media agencies should conduct market research and studies in order to understand what types of customers or audiences respond best to certain brands and offers. Utilizing the different types of sharing platforms. SMEs should make use of the different types of social media networks available. Most people and businesses use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn in particular. The other ones include Pinterest, Flickr and StumbleUpon among others. SMEs should take advantage of their capabilities in each network in order to expand their scope and reach out to the right audience. Making the best use of the platforms. SMEs should look at the different aspects of the different social media networks available. This would include the number of users on the platform, the location of the users, the overall number of people visiting the platform and even the engagement level. In addition to that, an SME should also focus on the types of content being shared on the networks. In other words, a top 10 social media marketing guide can help businesses and brands find the right ways to optimize their strategies by studying the best ways to get the most out of their media campaigns. October 2, 2021 adminone Categories: News HOW TECHNOLOGY IS CHANGING THE HUMAN CONDITION HOW TECHNOLOGY IS CHANGING THE HUMAN CONDITION Technology is the total field of any human skills, practices, devices, methods, and techniques used in the creation of products or services or in the achievement of specific goals, for example scientific research. Some of the areas technology affects are transportation, information technology, computer science, medical science, and manufacturing. Although technology affects all aspects of life, there are many areas where particular types of technology are developing. This article briefly describes some of the more prominent areas where technological developments are occurring today. One area in which new technologies are affecting people is in the area of applied science. Applied science refers to the application of scientific principles to practical ends such as product design, engineering design, industrial design, material science, etc. The scope of applied science is growing rapidly each year because of advances in scientific research, development of new technologies for specific purposes, and the increasing need for skilled workers in many of these fields. One area where applied science is creating a significant number of new jobs is in applied biology. New technologies in this area are developing cell organ culture technologies for the study of disease and health. Another area in which technological developments are impacting people is in the area of scientific knowledge. Scientific knowledge can be defined as the means by which a group of people uses scientific information to reach a particular conclusion about a particular topic. Many scientific studies do not use new technologies. For example, scientific knowledge about the structure of the molecular building blocks of matter, such as silicon, carbon, hydrogen, and helium, was carefully studied using various technologies over the last century without the use of new technologies. In the area of higher education, technological changes have had a major impact on teaching and learning. The creation of new information technology tools, such as electronic whiteboards, has made it possible to convey information in a more hands-on manner. Moreover, the use of digital maps and GPS devices is also changing the way that science students study the world around them. Many of the old model thinking methods of determining things like gravity and velocity are being replaced with new scientific knowledge based on technological developments in things like sensors and data collection. Technological Systems Development can also be seen in the field of medicine. While much of the scientific literature of the past century was written by men who could not speak or read English, today we have scientific jargon and scientific translators to help us communicate the ideas of science to the general public. This is not the only change taking place in the areas of medicine and nursing. Throughout much of the twentieth century, American society was dominated by the traditional understanding of neolithic medicine, which believed that disease was caused by a mental disorder, a psychological flaw, a spiritual malady, or a bodily affliction, and that illness could be prevented and controlled through a series of complex therapeutic steps, including diet, behavior therapy, and medical surveillance. Today, the field of nursing has begun to explore more technologically based models of medical care, as well as more sophisticated ways of collecting and organizing health information. New technologies such as electronic health records have expanded the scope of medical records and improved the ways in which they are managed and stored. Similarly, medical surveillance has taken the place of the blanket strategy used for decades, which kept records in dark places with little review or scrutiny. Technological Systems Development is changing the face of healthcare all around the world. October 1, 2021 adminone Categories: News KEEP CONNECTED BY INTERNET ACCESS KEEP CONNECTED BY INTERNET ACCESS InterNET is a network of web pages that works the same way as the internet in that it can connect and work with various computer networks.

September 29, 2021 adminone Categories: News THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RELIGION AND TECHNOLOGY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RELIGION AND TECHNOLOGY Technology is nothing but the application of scientific principles to improve upon existing procedures or to create new methods and/or products. Technological change is sometimes associated with revolutionary changes in society or culture. Some forms of technological change are diffuse, meaning that they tend to affect all fields of activity, whereas others are concentrated, which means that they affect a specific field or sectors of the economy. The scope and intensity of technological change is dictated by economic, social, political, and technological variables. Technological change can have a substantial effect on society and the economy. It has thus become one of the major drivers of global economic activity. Technology is the combination of many diverse scientific principles and ideas. The term technology was first used by the Renaissance humans, who believed that “techno” means “of the future.” In its modern sense, the term refers to a combination of human knowledge, skills, practices, and systems that are utilized in different fields for practical purposes. In this sense, technological change is not a one-time process, but is a continuous process over a broad range of time, with some aspects remaining consistent across many societies and cultures. Technology pertains to the applications of scientific knowledge and the technological systems that develop as a result of this knowledge. The object of technology is to promote efficient and effective performance of human life. The practice of technology covers a broad area of activities including transportation, building, information systems, energy, communications, and medicine. There are several types of technology, each having different purposes and developing different materials and products. Different forms of technology are used for different practical aims. The scope of technological change is therefore quite wide and covers almost all aspects of human life. The practical purposes for which technology is applied are determined by two main factors: the needs of humans and the nature of the natural world. It is for this reason that we have a vast array of technological systems, ranging from the highly complex, such as airplane engines, to the more simple, such as clothes dryers. In all cases, the science of technology has contributed to the improvement of our lives. Some objects, like a computer, were developed to simply make the operation of life easier. On the other hand, many technological systems are designed to help humanity deal with the natural world, developing methods for preserving the continuity of life and ensuring its future. Human beings have always used technology to organize their life, both in their leisure time and in their businesses. One of the most significant developments in the field of technology has been the development of the scientific method. The scientific method is concerned with the arrangement of data, especially scientific data, in such a way as to allow researchers to reach a conclusion with a reasonable degree of probability. The goal of scientific research is not to prove a scientific fact, but to gather evidence that will support a particular theory or idea. In technical terms, this means that the results of scientific studies are predictive, rather than mere assertion. The scientific method does not exclude the role of religion or faith, nor does it deny their importance. The knowledge provided by religion or faith is part of the human condition, just as much as scientific knowledge is a part of the scientific condition. However, the advancement of science has brought about a situation in which there is no longer any need for belief in things that can be objectively proven. Scientific knowledge may sometimes lead to new ideas, but it always leads to greater understanding of the world around us and the possibilities for a better existence. Religion and faith, while important aspects of the human condition, have often played a major role in limiting the progression of knowledge. Technological progress, on the contrary, has made possible the ability to acquire knowledge in a fast and efficient manner, opening up unknown horizons and changing the way people see the world around them. September 28, 2021 adminone Categories: News WHY THE INTERNET IS SO WIDELY USED? The Internet offers various internet services. These services are commonly known as Web services. Some examples include: email, the most basic way of sending and receiving emails online. Social networking sites and apps which allow individuals to share photos, comments, and videos. Online games which allow individuals to play games online with other individuals. There is also peer-to-peer file sharing known as file transfer protocol (FTP). The world wide web has revolutionized communication, business, research, education and just about everything we can think of on a global scale. Millions of people log on to the internet every single day logging on to their social media accounts, social networking sites and other file transfer protocols to chat, connect, shoot, socialize and do just about anything else you can think of on the internet. Many people have taken to using Facebook as their main means of communication. Some even consider it their second home on the internet. It was not so long ago when the world wide web was just an entity in cyber space. There was no such thing as the World Wide Web. It was referred to as just “the internet” and the term “wide web” was used so often that people just assumed that the internet was something composed of networks such as dial up modems or telephone lines which connected to the local area network (LAN). This is not the case. The world wide web is made up of files and data which are sent from one computer to the other over the internet protocol. One of the reasons the internet has become so popular among all kinds of internet users is because the world wide web allows people from all around the world to join in the discussion about all kinds of topics. People from all parts of the world can be found talking, debating and even making a few comments about common topics on the internet without any barriers. This has lead to the development of international internet networks. One of the things that the internet has done for the global community is increased international trade. It has made it possible to sell goods and services to each other across national borders at a much faster rate than it would have been possible before the introduction of the internet. Many people in the developing countries do not have access to computers or the internet. It has also brought about an improvement in education and research projects across the globe. For example, several internet researchers now have offices based in the developing countries so that they can continue their research work with the help of the internet. Another reason the internet is so widely used is because the various service providers have developed it to make it more available and affordable to all kinds of users. It has become a source through which people can find information and communicate with each other. Those who are using computers know how important an internet connection is for them. It is through the internet services that they can access any kind of information they need. No matter where a person is in the world, they can use the internet to search for information they require. It is through the internet connection that people can send images and share files to each other. September 28, 2021 adminone Categories: News SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGERS: INCREASING THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA Social media are technological interfaces that enable the generation or sharing/ exchange of information, thoughts, feelings, interests, and various forms of expression through online networks and virtual communities. Social media systems provide a platform for individuals to develop their own communication processes with people from different walks of life, from different countries and from different parts of the world. It helps in easy identification, and transmission of messages, with the help of various communication protocols. This is true that social media may be termed as a medium to share one’s thoughts, feelings and emotions, irrespective of the country or the religion. But this is also not the end of it. Just like other media platforms like newspapers, magazines, and television, these social media may be used for disseminating or broadcasting messages. However, social media companies claim that they are providing different kinds of services, which include publishing and distributing information on various topics. They claim that they do not disseminate false information through these platforms. In fact, social media has the power to reach out to the global community at large. And this is one of the reasons why a lot of organizations have taken help of social networking platforms to reach out to a larger audience. The internet has a reach beyond the boundaries of a single geographical area, and with the help of social networking websites, organizations can make their presence felt in an international arena. Moreover, the use of social networking software enables organizations to share information of various kinds, such as news, product and service updates, press releases, and images, among others. On the other hand, one major reason why organizations are moving towards social media is because they are realizing that there are various benefits in getting connected through various platforms. One of the main advantages in using these tools is that it helps them save money, time and effort. By getting in touch with existing customers, present or potential, it becomes easier to build long term relations and trust. The latest addition to the list is the twitter network, which is now being used by almost every organization in the world. Companies, especially those who have a dedicated presence on the web, can also benefit a lot from shopping networks, LinkedIn networks, Facebook networks, etc. Shopping Centres, like Retailers, say that they have seen an increased footfall on their websites, especially on instagram. Twitter too has seen an increase in traffic, especially from the users in the US. While instagram does not have a dedicated user base in the US, it is still being used by many companies for promoting their products. This is why Social Media Managers and Social Media Consultants say that there is a great amount of scope for companies to gain exposure, as a result of their presence on social media. Even though companies are spending more time on instagram, for promotions, it is important to note that it is not essential for every company to have an instagram account. Yildirim continues to believe that more businesses would be open sourcing their technologies, and as such, would take advantage of social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. He further says that this will give rise to developers creating games and applications specifically for mobile devices, which would help these companies market themselves better. Facebook and Twitter have recently introduced apps that can be accessed from a mobile device. The apps have become very popular among teenagers and younger users, and Yildirim sees them becoming increasingly popular amongst large corporate organizations too. In the future, Yildirim believes that more businesses will take advantage of these platforms. September 26, 2021 adminone Categories: News A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF TECHNOLOGY A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF TECHNOLOGY Technology is the collective term for any unique techniques, tools, procedures, and techniques used in the creation of products or services, or in the achievement of specific goals, including scientific research. The scope and history of technology can be traced back to the earliest recorded civilization, which has been dated at roughly 6000 B.C. with the development of writing. Ancient civilizations such as those of Egypt and China developed complex technological systems to create artifacts, while other ancient civilizations, such as the Aztecs and the Maya, used complex construction techniques to build their cities. Technological Systems can be categorized into two main areas. The first area encompasses technological systems that are designed for the efficient production of a product, and include such things as electrical devices, machines, and information systems. The second area encompasses technological systems that are designed for the efficient management of the environment, including space science, geology, and the study of matter. In addition, there are other types of technological systems, such as machine learning, digital technology, complex programming languages, transportation engineering, and food and beverage engineering. These categories are further divided into a number of subcategories, each with its own inherent characteristics and methods of application. In order to compare different technological systems, it is important to apply a schizotypical perspective to the problem. According to this analytical category view, technological systems can be separated into five basic categories. These are: experimental technologies, operative technologies, operational technologies, concrete technologies, and information technology. Among the five types of technology in this analytical category, the most influential is experimentation and testing, which is evident in the technological creations of today. Experiments and testing can be classified according to the level of sophistication of the equipment, method, or substance being tested, the specific end result, or the intent of the creator. In the operational category, this includes the myriad of technologies used in organizations and society. Operative technologies refer to those that produce information or perform a particular task by use of manual labor or machines. Concrete technologies refer to those that form part of the infrastructure of society, while information technology refers to the forms of computers and information systems. In considering new technologies, it is important to look at how new technologies impact society, as well as how the society creates and utilizes these technologies. This analysis can be done through a broad range of perspectives, including social science, technology studies, futurism, cognitive science, digital humanities, technological history, economic theory, philosophy of technology, and anthropology. The schizotypical perspective provides a unique way of looking at new technologies, because it simultaneously identifies the technology, the technological artifact, and the person who uses it. Within the schizotypical framework, new technologies can be classified based on how they modify society, the technologies available to users, their role in shaping the society, the ways in which users use these technologies, and the social/psychological effects of these technologies. In looking at the history of technology, it becomes evident that the twenty-first century is not the age of the technology industry, but rather the age of applied science, social engineering, and the humanities. Applied science, which includes such fields as physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and economics, directly affects society, while the humanities have traditionally had a far larger impact upon society through culture. As society begins to adapt to the changing needs of the twenty-first century, more technological artifacts will be produced, which will continue to influence our minds and our lives in terms of both science and medicine. As society continues to grow in complexity, innovations, and more innovations will continue to shape the way we live and work. September 25, 2021 adminone Categories: News AN INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNICATION AND SOCIAL NETWORKS Interbank Internet is the term given to a computer network that consists of banks. Interbank Internet has many names; such as worldwide exchange, international exchange or interbank transfer. It refers to a group of financial institutions that operate online. Banks that participate in this network are allowed to trade via the Internet and settle their credit card balances electronically. Through online banking, customers can make purchases from all around the globe using one’s debit or credit card. The term “wireless Internet” describes an intranet that allows its users to access email, chat rooms and news. Internet, a system architecture which has revolutionized business and communications by enabling various computer networks throughout the world to connect. At times referred to as an interbank network, the Internet emerged in America in the early 1970s but didn’t become widely used until the mid-1990s. In North America, this technology was used primarily for communication between government agencies. Today, it is used extensively by most businesses and Internet users around the world. Social Media. Today’s Internet is largely driven by social media, a term that refers to any websites or other online venues that allow people to communicate with each other. In fact, many individuals do not identify themselves as Internet users unless they have actively sought out a social network. Thus, when someone is searching the Internet, an example of a social media will show up in search results, such as Facebook, Twitter or MySpace. Hypertext. The world wide web is composed of websites, blogs and other interactive media. These are known as hypertext systems. Although they are considered a form of the internet, a single hypertext system can support many types of applications. Examples include word processing software (like Microsoft Word), electronic newspapers, blogging services and news organizations. Most commonly, though, hypertext uses images, videos and audio files to deliver messages. Dark Web. The dark web, also known as the Tor Network, is part of the larger Internet. It is part of a global network of web servers and includes information, data and software that are hidden from the usual browsing public Internet. This dark web is what has been referred to by hackers as the “valuable dark net.” Some malware may use the dark web as a staging ground to attack a victim’s computer and collect personal or financial data. As more Internet users continue to use computers, the Internet continues to grow. One of the fastest-growing uses for the Internet is for social media and communications. While the basic function of the Internet remains unchanged, the type of technology that undergirds the Internet is constantly changing. Changing technologies, such as hypertext transfer protocol, have made the Internet an amazing tool for communication and social networking.

There is an increasing trend of using social media for marketing, business promotion, advertising campaigns, and PR purposes. Blogging is a popular form of social media users communicating and sharing their ideas and thoughts with each other. This is also called blogging, characterized by the posting of blogs in the internet, either in specific websites owned by the user or on the user’s own blog site. Examples of blogging include news-making topics or news-related items, personal blogging, or just sharing thoughts and views on specific subjects. Social networking is another popular way to engage a specific audience. It is characterized by the sharing or creation of online communities based on common interests, hobbies, views, or even political views. With social networking, the users can share videos, photos, or other multimedia materials with like-minded individuals. The users can also make comments on these materials and engage in discussions on the same topic. Such actions give a significant boost to the popularity and visibility of a particular brand or website. On the other hand, social media users who engage in discussion are also seen as influential and credible sources of information by the target audiences, giving them more influence in terms of influencing the audience buying behavior. SMILT is the acronym for Social Media Marketing. It is a set of online tools and techniques used for marketing a business by social media users. SMILT strategies involve a combination of five elements, including building relationships, driving traffic, optimizing content, monitoring social networks, and engaging customers or viewers. SMILT makes use of the five main aspects of social marketing, which are building relationships through blogs, video blogging, forums, Twitter, and Facebook; driving traffic to websites; optimizing content for search engines and readers; and monitoring social networks for new developments. SMILT strategies may further include SMO, where websites feature guest posts from company or industry experts; SEO, where search engines are directed towards the particular site’s page instead of across entire internet; and Ads and Affiliate Programs, through which advertisers pay for having ads displayed on a particular social networking site. Furthermore, SMILT requires effective methods for engaging target audiences. The most popular and highly effective ways to do so are through surveys, asking quora questions, writing blogs and articles, and engaging audiences in discussions. Social media platforms such as FaceBook, MySpace, and YouTube provide great opportunities for marketers to ask questions and get feedback from target audiences. In a broader sense, SMILT is a strategy that uses the power of the internet and social media platforms to promote a business or brand, in turn increasing the popularity and visibility of the company. SMILT has been quite popular, especially in the UK and US, where it is widely used as a marketing strategy. For example, in the UK, many companies have their own social media pages such as Twitter, which have hundreds of thousands of users. Similarly, in the US, popular social media platform Facebook boasts of over one hundred million monthly active users. The best part about SMILT is that, unlike most traditional forms of marketing, such as direct mail, magazines, television, or even door-to-door marketing, SMILT does not cost much money to implement, as it is mostly free. September 23, 2021 adminone Categories: News THE MEANING OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE COLLINS EBOOK Technology is the collective term for any methods, technologies, systems, and practices utilized in the creation of products or services or in accomplishing goals, including scientific research. Technological change is a dynamic entity, undergoing cycles and oscillations. The word was first used by American linguist William Chase Hamilton to characterize the rapid evolution of new linguistic forms during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Hamilton believed that technological phenomena was a process of cultural evolution, with words being modified and altered to fit the changing needs of a new society. Today, many people use the term “technological” to describe a wide range of activities that fall under the broader heading of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine. Technological change is a dynamic entity, undergoing oscillations and cycles. Throughout history, technological systems and practices have developed and changed several times. As a result, over time the scope of modern technology has increased, encompassing a range of activities from telecommunications technology to nuclear weapons. Within the field of science, however, there are three distinct categories of technological systems: thermodynamics, engineering, and biology. Thermodynamics is an area of science concerned with the temperature and other physical aspects of the matter. Some areas of thermodynamics encompass both energy and matter, while others focus entirely on one or the other. Chemical reactions in nature, like those in biology, produce heat; the temperature rise and fall of various chemicals are necessary to the functioning of various systems at the macroscopic level. A variety of thermodynamic sciences contribute to the understanding of the relationship between climate change, global warming, and the eco-system. Biologists studying ecosystems, industrial scientists studying manufacturing technologies, and environmentalists studying environmental impacts all utilize some form of thermodynamics in their work. In fact, a number of the processes that drive society and drive science and technology are themselves part of the broad field of thermodynamics. Engineering is a discipline of science dealing with the use of resources to make something useful to people. Examples include the designs of automobiles, buildings, bridges, and even certain types of clothing. Engineering is so broad in its definition that it includes not only physical science but also many branches of math including algebra, geology, chemistry, and physics. One of the most important branches of engineering is mechanics, which encompasses the science of how things work. The purpose of engineering is to enhance the efficiency of human effort and to create a world that is capable of providing the necessities for human life. Some of the important areas of engineering include communications technology, computer science, and engineering design. The third category of technology is biological. Biology is an area of study that studies the function and interaction of living things, focusing especially on the relationship of the human body and mind. A variety of technological innovations have been produced by the study of biology, ranging from the development of the immune system to the discovery of the genetic code. In the past, biological technologies were focused primarily on the improvement of the human condition, but in recent years they have developed more practical uses. Some of the most significant areas of biotechnology are cell and tissue culture technologies, pharmacology, reproductive technology, and micro-biotechnology. Technological change is neither abrupt nor uniform. It is driven by a combination of social and cultural factors. Because of this, it is a complex field that can best be described using a mixed method of sociocultural analysis, developmental biology, technological innovation, and environmental science. According to the Collins English Dictionary, a technologist is “a person whose work deals with new ways of doing things and who believes that progress is inherently likely to result in increased benefits for humanity.” September 23, 2021 adminone Categories: News UNDERSTANDING INTERNET UNDERSTANDING INTERNET InterNET is an acronym for “Internet of Neutrals”. The Internet (or web) is an international system of interconnected computer networks which make use of the Internet Protocol suite (IP) to transmit data between computers and networks. It also includes other services, such as Extranets and extranet, that operate similar to traditional intranets. It’s a vast network of computers, which includes both public and private, regional to global scope, with a wide range of services and applications. With the development of the Internet, new realms of possibilities have been opened up for individuals and organizations. Now information can be exchanged at the speed of light across oceans and continents. Large amounts of data can be exchanged within seconds in some cases. For example, an individual in Canada may access information held by someone in the United States. This type of global exchange of information has made the Internet one of the most important cultural and economic centers in the world. Internet users throughout the world to share information through networks such as IM networks, chat rooms, bulletin boards, file sharing, and websites. Public and private networks are both part of the Internet. They are the means by which individuals and organizations can exchange information. The Internet itself was created to support these networks. In addition, other public utilities, such as telephone networks and the postal service, have developed over time as a result of the need to provide greater functionality to consumers. The Internet was made possible by the creation of backbone networks, or routes between hosts, called nodes. The term “backbone” refers to the primary network that all other layers are connected to. Backbones were originally built with IP blocks, which allowed data to be stored on nodes that have been labeled with IP addresses. Today, backbone networks have been replaced with interconnections, which allow data to travel between hosts at much faster speeds and using much less power. The creation of the commercial backbone networks and the subsequent internet changeover marked the first major step toward broader usage and implementation of the Internet. Although commercial use of the internet has been minimal due to the security provided by the private networks, it has provided access to the Internet for commercial providers. Public and private networks are now widespread, providing the means for data to travel between continents and for consumers to access high-speed broadband services. Today’s modern world has become more complicated with the prevalence of sophisticated computers. Communication between different systems is no longer based on mere interpretation of words or mere swapping of information. Communication takes place with actual human beings. To make the exchange of data secure, networks require highly advanced software that does its work on the user’s behalf. Interoperability between applications is another technological advancement that allows users to share information across different systems without having to go to the trouble of downloading or installing proprietary programs. This is how we can find ourselves in a position to take full advantage of the Internet and the many capabilities it affords us. September 21, 2021 adminone Categories: News WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA OUTSOURCING? What is Social Media? Social media are interactive online technologies which permit the sharing or creation/sharing/exchange of ideas, careers, interests, and any form of expression through virtual networks and online communities. It was founded on the idea that people and their interests are connected through a vast network of people who share similar interests, values, and life philosophies, which have no physical barriers. There are many types of social media; it includes web-based, multiplayer online games (MMOGs), massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), discussion boards, and one-of-a kind communities. The first step to understanding how social media works is to learn what it is not. Social media websites are not social websites; therefore, they cannot be searched by a search engine such as Google or Yahoo! Searching for “social media” on a search engine results in zero listings. Sites such as StumbleUpon or Digg are web-based and hence cannot be searched using search engines. Why Social Medias Are Important For Business? In today’s world where almost everything is being marketed online, social media is playing an increasingly important role in marketing businesses. Marketing on a web-based platform such as social media is less expensive, less intrusive, and much more effective for businesses than traditional marketing methods such as print advertisements, television advertising, radio advertising, etc. Traditional advertising methods tend to have a much longer reach than advertising on social media platforms, especially when consumers can easily “like” or share a company’s message with friends on a social media network. The key for businesses to understand the importance of social media in marketing is to first understand what this platform is not. Does Social Media includes Quora? Social media websites such as Quora and LinkedIn are popular places where entrepreneurs and marketers gather to discuss different types of topics relevant to their niche. These types of sites allow marketers to create profiles that potential customers can go to see the type of content they are interested in and companies can post content that prospective customers can then answer or ask questions about. These are essentially the same platforms that are often used by lawyers and other professionals who seek the advice of others. What is a Social Networking Website? A social networking website is simply a site that allows users to interact with one another. Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter are currently the most popular of the social networking platforms. StumbleUpon is another type of social media website that is beginning to be used more commonly for marketing purposes. Incoming links to any given social networking website may be delivered in the form of an RSS feed. Is Social Media Outsourcing Right For Businesses? As more marketers become aware of the potential of SMEs, companies who offer SME services begin to appear. These services can range from providing a platform for social media users to interact, to developing unique promotional campaigns and offers for a business. The benefits of SMEs are currently being explored by SME providers on a smaller scale, while larger companies are beginning to offer full-service SME solutions. This trend is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. September 20, 2021 adminone Categories: News THE INNOVATIONS THAT EMBELLISHING THE COMPUTER Technology is the total combination of any systems, human abilities, systems, skills, or processes employed in the achievement of specific goals, including scientific investigation, or in the creation of new products or services. Technological change is a general term that is used to describe a range of new and potentially advanced practices and systems. It also includes the application of technology to new domains (such as information technology, engineering, and medicine), and to systems that already exist. Technologists are involved in many areas of human endeavor. Some sectors of technology are basic, necessary for all society. A computer, for example, is an essential part of everyday life and its operations. All other technologies are specialized, benefiting specific fields of study. The most widely known sectors of technology include information technology, engineering, computer sciences, and medicine. Computer systems are the devices and mechanisms involved in executing programs. It also includes memory, storage, input/output devices, microprocessor, hard disk, video display, sound card, personal computer, networking, Personal Information Manager (PIM), personal computer network, printer, and network router. These have become much more sophisticated over time, as computers have increased in speed and complexity. Computers and their related technologies are used in all aspects of everyday life; from making and buying automobiles to using the Internet to communicate with others. In addition, there are a variety of software, apparatus, and devices that make up the computer system. The Internet, which has become one of the most vital components of modern society, is another aspect of technology. The Internet uses networks to store data and to distribute it in networks of connections, called hyperlinks. Hyperlinks are nothing more than sequences of digital information that allows communication between various electronic devices. The most commonly used Internet technologies include e-mail, file server, content management system, information access, information distribution, network infrastructure, application service, email, operating system, programming language, database management, desktop publishing, voice over protocol (VoIP), and standard protocols on network communications (CPC). Information technology also includes computer systems. Computer systems are complex combinations of hardware, memory, input/output devices, applications, memory management devices, input and output devices, local area network (LAN) interfaces, network servers, and communication services. A computer system is usually comprised of a central processing unit (CPU), a non-volatile memory such as random access memory (RAM), and an embedded operating system. Unlike a computer at home, in a corporate office environment, the computer system is much larger. Modern technologies even allow for the use of a remote computer server for storing data that must be accessed from another location. Computers and their associated technologies have changed tremendously since their inception. Much of this change has been due to the explosive growth of the Internet and the ability to communicate information across international borders and among vastly different user groups with very little expense. Advances in chip and microprocessor design have also resulted in increased speed, efficiency, reliability, power consumption, and storage capacities. All of these advances have resulted in computer systems that are much more capable than they were not so long ago. Today’s computers and their associated technologies provide people with many more opportunities than ever before. September 19, 2021 adminone Categories: News EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE NET InterNet is a new protocol that enables you to talk and surf the Internet using your PC rather than your network. It allows you to use your normal web browser to access the net. It has a lot of similarities to WiFi but also differs in that you can use it anywhere within the same area as an available network, as long as both are connected to the same server. This is especially useful if you use a laptop or a home PC that is placed in a location that does not have a traditional public network. Before you start using the Internet through your computer, make sure you have a good internet connection. Although many people are familiar with WiFi, that connection is not always the most reliable. In some cases, it might be best to choose a wireless connection over a wired one because the latter is not secure. If your wireless router cannot connect with your modem, the only option you have is to go with a wireless connection. To do this, you will need a USB modem or wireless card. Once you have these installed, you can then proceed with Internet browsing. Your router is what will help you access the internet through your computer. There are many types of routers on the market and not all of them will be compatible with your wireless card or your router. You will need to determine what type of router you need by reading its manual and doing some research on the internet. Do not purchase a device without reading the fine print, because you could end up wasting money by purchasing a device that either does not work or costs too much. A wireless router is not very expensive and most people do not have any problems connecting their routers to their computers. After you have connected your router to your computer, you will need to download the necessary software packages to get your modem up and running. These programs will enable your router to establish a connection with the various networks that you have access to on your local area. You can use your modem to access the internet by dialing into a telephone number that is associated with the network you want to access. This method is commonly referred to as modem access, because your modem is acting as a connection between your computer and the company or other computer system that provides the Internet connection. By default, each computer that has an Internet connection sets up a router that will act as the hub for all of the computers on the network. Your modem is the device that enters these hubs and obtains the appropriate IP address to connect to the Internet. The IP address is necessary so that your computer knows where to connect to the Internet. Once your modem has been successfully connected, you will be able to browse the web and read email online. Most people use the web to stay connected to family members and friends, and once again, this is how the Net was started. Even though it may seem very complex, all it really takes is a little know-how to set up a Net connection and you can start getting online. Before you can use the Net, you must have access to the Internet. Once you have this, then you are ready to log on and start using the Net. Many people still do not have the confidence to try to get online, but they need to learn more about how the Net works in order to overcome their lack of knowledge. The most important thing you can do before trying to access the Net is to learn more about how the modem works and what types of connections are available to you. Once you have this information, then you will be ready to start surfing the Web.

Social media are online interactive technologies which enable the generation or sharing/ exchange of ideas, professions, hobbies, career interests, and virtually any other types of expression through virtual communities and online networks. With social media, anyone can easily create profiles, join groups, send and receive messages, upload files, publish and edit videos, blogs, images, and documents. There are many different social media platforms available today like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, Foursquare, YouTube, and many more. This is just a small sampling of social media. There is no doubt that these new technologies have changed the way we interact with one another. In the past, most people have shared files through FTP and email. The primary difference between sharing files in those types of traditional ways is that you cannot “upload” anything to the internet and share it with anybody else; you can only send files through these types of networks. But in social media networks, you can actually upload and share your files with everyone in the network. There are so many social media platforms available to you and your friends and your contacts. Nowadays, people can use their PCs, laptops, smartphones, and even tablet computers to access these social media sites and chat communities. One example of social media network is a forum called Quora. Quora is an online community where people can post question and comments about any topic. Other than forums, you can also use sites like Yahoo! Answers, blogs, and social discussion forums. These are just some of the examples that help you understand what social media can do for you. Another advantage of SMO is that it can generate leads or sales. In a nutshell, SMO is a great source of generating leads. It is because social media sharing networks and websites can provide you with a way of advertising your products, services, promotions, and campaigns by simply including live video feed to your website. Through this, you can reach out to your audience, inform them of your offers and sales, and motivate them to purchase your products and services. You can also include videos in your online advertising campaign to drive traffic to your websites. There are many ways of getting traffic to your websites such as search engine optimization, blogging, pay per click, etc. But none of these methods can compare with social networks according to the capacity of delivering targeted traffic to your websites. Social networks according to experts have a huge potential when it comes to driving quality traffic to your websites; and this is why many marketers are now focusing their efforts on promoting their businesses using SMO. However, SMO isn’t as simple as it looks and may require some time and effort before you can successfully apply it to your business. There are a lot of things you need to do to effectively promote your business using SMO; and the best way is to create different types of advertisements. The different types of advertisement will increase the chances of attracting more viewers to your advertisements and ultimately get them to purchase your products and services. Different types of advertisements include video marketing, digital marketing, podcasting, social media, and many more types of digital media channels. By properly using different types of digital marketing and promoting your business using different types of social media channels, you can be sure that your online business will be successful. September 2, 2021 adminone Categories: News MAJOR TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE COMMONLY USED ON THE INTERNET InterNet. The Internet is now a broad network that connects computers around the globe. Through the Internet, individuals can exchange data and communicate with each other from virtually anywhere with an Internet connection available. The Internet has become so popular that it’s an integral part of our everyday lives. The Internet was designed through a group of protocols called the Hypertext Preprocessor or URLP. These protocols define how the Internet works, including its application and structure. In order to send and receive information over the internet, it uses certain types of networks. One of these is known as TCP/IP and it works together with IP networking. The basic purpose of the Internet is for people to connect to each other using either a computer or a network of computers. When two internet users meet in person, they can send typed information or images across the network by creating addresses called IP addresses. These IP addresses are used to identify each computer on the network. Similarly, when an IP address is sent over the internet, it is not visible to the user at the other end. This is how the web was made possible. Another technology that is commonly used on the internet is Wi-Fi. It works along with certain networks, such as mobile networks, and is becoming more popular as time goes by. Wi-Fi has also been known as WAP, which stands for Wireless Access Providers. Wi-Fi uses frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band, which is a wider band than the main internet service. By using a small device called a Wi-Fi transceiver, internet users can place their Wi-Fi enabled device into the air and transmit signals to each other. Competitive exams are commonly used for people who want to take advantage of the many opportunities that the internet has to offer. The exams that most students take are the CCNA or Cisco Certified Network Associate exam, and the CCNP or Cisco Certified Network Professional exam. These exams have become very popular because they test a person’s knowledge about the fundamental protocols that are used on the internet. Once a person takes either of these exams, he or she can demonstrate a level of knowledge that is needed in order to connect to the internet using a laptop, or other type of internet device. The final major technology that is widely used by internet users is the World Wide Web itself. Most people are familiar with the familiar websites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. But even if people aren’t familiar with the website of the United States government, for example, they will quickly be able to recognize that it exists. Because the internet is so widespread and so useful, most people utilize it daily. August 31, 2021 adminone Categories: News HOW SOCIAL MEDIA WILL DRIVE TRAFFIC TO YOUR SITE Social media are basically interactive digital technologies which allow the generation or sharing/ exchange of information, stories, careers, concepts, and many other types of creative expression through social networks and virtual communities. They include everything from blogs to Facebook to Twitter to LinkedIn to Facebook Live and more. The main advantage of social networking is it allows us to interact with people we would otherwise never be able to meet or connect with. This has led to the growth of a new class of media – the’social media’ industry. Here’s a brief look at what social media can do for you. The most exciting aspect of this emerging industry is the fact that social media allows us to reach new and targeted audiences. Take Twitter for example. Twitter is an excellent tool for engagement and community building. It allows the creation of micro-blogging communities, where users can share short snippets of what they are doing, who they are with, or what they are interested in. The users then vote on these micro-blogs and create trending topics that encourage others to join in discussion. This is essentially viral marketing, because as other users start to take part in this activity, the topic becomes popular, thus making it more likely that it will gain momentum and reach a broader audience. Another aspect of the social media landscape that is quickly gaining traction around the world is the use of video. Millions of people are now watching high quality videos on their mobile devices, thanks to high-end smartphones and tablets. With this rise in viewing comes a need for more video sharing services and platforms. Major players in this space include YouTube, Vimeo, Videoegg, Flipboard, Metacafe and many others. All of these companies promise to provide unique opportunities and functionality to the individual video maker and to the larger community of internet users. In order to make use of all the potential of the social media landscape, it’s important to understand how each of these platforms work. As previously mentioned, Facebook is the largest and most successful social network, offering an interface for user-based applications. One of its most useful features is the Like feature, which allows users to easily share anything they have posted with the entire Facebook platform. This includes anything from text to photos to video. The Like feature allows for users to encourage their friends to like their posts, helping the post gain more exposure and generate organic traffic to the post. For business, this is a great way to increase visibility and traffic to your website. Many other social media networks work in similar ways to Facebook. Many allow users to leave comments, add and read blogs, and create bookmarks. Twitter uses hash tags to allow conversation about posts across the platform; this allows users to post new information that they have discovered while searching the web. LinkedIn provides a similar function to Facebook, as users can search the network for professionals that have information relevant to their current careers and use social media to share information that they have uncovered. The future of social media looks strong. The largest social media network, YouTube, is constantly adding new content, hosting its own original TV shows, and experimenting with mobile video viewing. While a smaller social media platform like MySpace still has a smaller audience than Facebook or Twitter, it seems that the trend to consolidate audiences and build communities online will continue. August 30, 2021 adminone Categories: News EVALUATING THE TECHNOLOGIES THAT MAY BE BENEFICIAL TO YOUR BUSINESS Technological Trends is a hot new buzz word that is being spoken out loudly by many Business Owners in recent days. In recent years we have seen the rapid growth of the internet as a result of faster data transmission and processing speeds. This has resulted in the development of many new business opportunities for entrepreneurs such as telecommuting, freelancing, and contracting out work to home-based companies. All these new business models are providing many people with more flexibility and work from home opportunities. The growth in e-commerce is also resulting in many more opportunities to make money online. But as exciting as all this technology may sound there are some risks associated with it as well. Many new businesses have been created around technologies that are less than ethical or do not provide real value to consumers or businesses. The main area that technology is falling into is the area of identity theft. As consumers become smarter and tech savvy, they are more likely to look for and purchase products and services that are associated with a company with a good reputation. Companies that fail to keep their technologies up to date or are only in business to make money are likely to go out of business in a short period of time. This may result in large numbers of lawsuits filed against the company. Also if the company is involved in legal action, there is a good chance they will be unable to continue selling the same products and services in the future. There are also some ethical issues that surround the use of some new technologies. Companies may be trying to sell you the latest technology in order to get you to purchase their product. However, if the technology is not up to current standards, you may find yourself wasting money on an item that does not work. This can also result in bad publicity for the company, which can lead to lost clients and sales. Not everyone sees the point of investing in new technology as it could take years to develop and implement. Also, some businesses feel that new technologies should be developed internally as this allows the company more time to focus on making the business a success. However, some developing new technology requires expensive start-up costs, which could leave some businesses struggling. Also some new technology may require licensing fees, which could make the entrepreneur responsible for paying for something they did not contribute. It is important to make sure that the technology being purchased by a business is going to have a positive effect on their business. If a new technology will not improve the efficiency of the business then it is probably a waste of time and money. Also some businesses need to be able to change their technology more than once because new technology comes out all the time. The best thing to do is to research the new technology and make sure that the company has invested in the technology necessary to make it successful. August 29, 2021 adminone Categories: News WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA? Social networking is a new development which allowed humans to connect with each other through the Internet. In the past, social networks existed as ways for people to share personal information about themselves. However, social networks have since evolved into powerful tools which allow many people to connect with each other online as well. Social media are now interactive technology which enable the sharing or creation/exchange of ideas, careers, interests, hobbies, and other types of expression through virtual communities and networks known as social networks. Social media allows individuals, businesses, organizations, and communities to connect with each other online. Some of the most popular social networking websites include Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn, YouTube, Foursquare, Friendster, and StumbleUpon. These networks are usually created by individuals, although some large organizations use social media for their brand-building efforts as well. This type of media allows users to create an online profile that other members can then add to see who they follow and in what category the user falls into. Users can join social networks based on several criteria including age, sex, geographic location, hobbies, interests, or even political beliefs. Within these networks, users can also share information about themselves with others, much like an online “profile.” If one member of the community wants something, they may post or send a message asking other members if they want to “like” or comment on it. Others who are not following the person will then be able to view the request and if they agree, they can join the conversation. The request can be publicly or privately shared. Social networks are great for connecting people who may not otherwise meet, or even be aware of each other. For example, if a church group wants to connect with other church groups in their area, they can post events on these networks and invite others to join. They can also share information about services, special events, and upcoming events. Additionally, they can share graphic art or pictures posted by friends or other social media users. These websites are a great place for members to meet others who share similar interests or who might be interested in religion, philosophy, music, politics, or current events. However, there are some downsides to SM website and social media sharing. First, some groups are not as active as others within the community. Those groups may not have the same interest in the types of subjects discussed on the website. As a result, there could be a disconnection between different types of individuals who are participating. In addition, there is no guarantee that what one individual chooses to post on his or her social network page will be seen by others on the platform. Therefore, it can be difficult for a person to participate in a given topic if there are numerous people who are posting similar items to share information. This is especially true when the content in question is highly controversial. The bottom line is that SM websites and social networks do have an impact on users, especially when these individuals post things that others find offensive. Therefore, users need to be careful about what they share with others, especially if the information is something that might cause offense. August 27, 2021 adminone Categories: News CHANGE IN TECHNOLOGY CHANGE IN TECHNOLOGY The technologies of the future are now a reality. Many of these technologies already exist and are being utilized in some form or other. Technological innovation is a broad term that encompasses many technological innovations. One can define it as “the development of new and improved systems and methods for doing work,” but in actuality this definition has no specific reference to any one activity. Technological innovation can be an instance of science fiction. It can also be a product of art, literature, or music. Technological innovation is a broad term, because it has come to mean different things to different people. For instance, technological innovation may be considered to be the application of scientific knowledge to new and improved things like automobiles, computer technology, and other things like entertainment systems, personal computers, and other things like the internet. It may also be considered to be the application of scientific knowledge to new and improved things like medical diagnostics equipment, nuclear power, space travel, telecommunications, electronic equipment, television, telecommunications, and other things like the World Wide Web, computer networking, and the creation of the internet. Technological innovation is often considered to be a subset of scientific innovation. In recent years, there has been a huge amount of technological innovation. Some types of technological innovations include Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, and Biotechnology. Other types of technological innovations include Computer Engineering, Information Systems, and Software Engineering. In fact, when it comes to innovations, there are so many that it would almost be impossible to name them all. However, there are certain trends in which certain types of technological innovations are more common than others. One example of an area that has experienced rapid technological change is the field of computer science. This field consists of a variety of academic and non academic fields that all work together to develop, test, and implement new computer systems and software that deal with a variety of different things like computer networks, computer engineering, software engineering, and so forth. These things include things like computer networking, desktop computers, laptops, personal digital assistants, desktop and laptop computers, network servers, computer operating systems, and so forth. Other things like digital imaging, medical imaging, digital photography, interactive digital media, augmented reality, digital design, and the like have also experienced rapid technological change as well. Another area that exhibits this trend of rapid technological change is the area of medicine. There have been plenty of innovations in the area of medicine in recent years, including things like genetics, electronic medical records, gene therapy, personalized medicine, and the like. There are also plenty of innovations in the area of diagnostics technology, including things like x-ray machines, mammography, ultrasound machines, and CAT Scans. Other areas that exhibit this kind of change include the creative area of arts and design. Videos, music, films, books, movies, computer software, and the like have also experienced tremendous changes in recent years. The pace of change in these fields is usually very fast, and it shows no sign of slowing down whatsoever. Of course, there are plenty of changes in technology that affect people’s lives every day. It’s just a matter of looking out for them and avoiding being taken by surprise. August 26, 2021 adminone Categories: News THE INCREDIBLE POWER OF THE INTERNET THE INCREDIBLE POWER OF THE INTERNET InterNet is a computer networking technology that helps to connect two or more computers. The Internet is actually a large network that connects all computers around the globe. Through the Internet, individuals can share data and communicate with each other from virtually any location with an Internet connection. The Internet provides a platform for many activities that help people do business and even conduct social networking on the Internet. One of the most popular activities on the Internet today is blogging. Blogging allows users to express their thoughts and ideas through text. Bloggers use different computer languages, such as HTML, RSS, MYSQL, or XML formats, to publish their blogs on the internet. The popularity of blogging is increasing due to the many social networking sites that allow users to publish their blogs on the web. Another type of technology that makes the Internet work efficiently is the Hypertext Transfer Protocol or FTP. FTP allows us to transfer large amounts of information from one computer to another using the World Wide Web. It is commonly used to share large files on the internet. Most social networking sites make use of FTP in order for the users to post their blogs or images on the web. One of the major uses of the Internet is for communication. Email is one of the most commonly used tools for communication on the internet. There are different service providers who provide email service. Email service helps individuals to share information, whether it is in the form of documents or messages, by transferring these through the internet connection without using any additional hardware. In order for you to get the best internet services, you need to research extensively on the various options available. The two most popular services that are widely used are the Windows Live and Gmail. Windows Live Messenger is actually a free application that enables internet users to chat with each other using an internet service. On the other hand, Gmail is considered as one of the best free e-mail services that are widely used throughout the world. You can send and receive emails on Gmail using your computer. It also allows you to create an email address that will appear on your desktop as an icon. One of the most interesting things about the internet is that, not only does it allow us to share information, but it also allows us to work as a group. We can communicate with each other, establish online friendships and even share business opportunities. All of us use the internet protocol to do all these things and we wouldn’t be able to do all of these things if we did not have this amazing facility. The internet offers us something more than just chatting and sharing information. It also allows us to work as a team and build up our careers and businesses all over the world using this unique technology. August 25, 2021 adminone Categories: News SIX TYPES OF SOCIAL MEDIA Social networking is an interactive technology that enables the generation or sharing/reception of content, ideas, professions, lifestyle interests, and other types of expression through virtual networks and online communities. Social media is generally used to identify, establish, and explore new acquaintances, share experiences, information, and any other thoughts or topics of common interest. Social networking has the potential to significantly impact organizations by significantly expanding the range of people who can potentially access the organization’s offerings, expand the reach of current offerings to a wider audience, or simply use the network to provide for a better user experience. Social networking sites are used to share user-generated content such as blogs, images, videos, text, and audio. These services typically provide the means for people to easily communicate with each other by participating in conversations in real time or in a format more similar to email. In the past decade, social media has exploded from being something that was enjoyed primarily by techies and nerds in internet chat rooms to being something that is enjoyed by everyone from college kids to the office managers to major business leaders. Social networking is now one of the most prominent tools used by businesses to connect with their customers and clients and to build connections with business partners, co-workers, executives, other industry players, government agencies, and the public at large. Businesses ranging from airlines to super bowl teams have found social networking to be an invaluable resource in building their brand, promoting their products and services, and generally accomplishing their organizational objectives. The growth of social media has resulted in many new media forms that have emerged such as, video blogs, instant messaging (IM), podcasts, Facebook Instant Messenger (FBIM), MySpaceTV, Twitter, and Yahoo! 360. This explosion of new and innovative media channels has increased the competition faced by today’s marketing professionals in effectively leveraging social media. Social media has become an essential element to the marketing mix of many organizations, and marketers must find effective ways to leverage the powerful effects of the online communities to gain an edge over their competitors. Social media marketing professionals are recognizing that the key to success in this marketing challenge is to be able to create a niche within the vast ocean of social media. They are also recognizing that the key to achieving niche success is to not only develop a strong social media presence but to work closely with the customer to truly understand their business, and in return the customer will return on a regular basis for more meaningful interactions. Below are some of the most effective social media marketing strategies for today’s marketers. Engaging the Community: Most social media sites are free to join and therefore there is no cost to connect with other users worldwide. Therefore, companies use social network to not only build customer relations but to engage users by offering special deals or promotions, free content, discounts, or even contests. To really engage a user, a company needs to provide useful and relevant content, respond to their questions and comments, provide useful and relevant content, and encourage interaction within the community. Companies that understand these basic principles will be able to tap into the power of the social network. Establishing Relationships: Social networking networks allow users from all over the world to connect, share, and get information about one another. When a user joins a network, they usually do so because they have a connection to the person they are connecting with. This relationship becomes much deeper when the two parties mutually engage with each other and develop a real friendship. Social media marketing tools such as blogs, podcasts, vlogs, and wikis can help you not only build relationships with existing users but to also gain new customers. Companies should seek to make their social media accounts a place where they “stretch their creative juices” and share information with each other in an effort to attract new customers and to establish long term relationships. 6 Types of Social Media: Social media has many forms and each type has specific advantages and disadvantages. The six types of social media discussed here are the most popular forms of SMM currently available. However, SMM requires a lot more creativity and ingenuity than most people think. A good rule of thumb is that you should stay away from creating applications and services related to your industry unless you have extensive experience in that particular area. However, if you are skilled in the various fields of your chosen industry, you should definitely consider integrating them into your social networking plan. August 24, 2021 adminone Categories: News WHAT ARE THE 6 TYPES OF SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING? WHAT ARE THE 6 TYPES OF SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING? Social media are primarily interactive digital technologies that enable the generation or sharing/ exchange of information, views, career objectives, and various other types of social expression through virtual online communities and networks. Social media refer to various online communities and social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, FriendFeed, and many more. These online communities are the latest emerging business tool for the purpose of marketing, advertising, customer servicing, PR, event planning, branding, sales and business development. These networks have gained popularity not only in Asia and Western countries, but also in all major parts of the world. Networking websites are popular in the sense that they allow users to easily interact with each other based on common interests or common targets and goals, such as political, social, cultural, technological, financial, and Internet based. It is also important to note that these social networks have also been a platform for several hate crimes and terrorist activities as well. There has been a trend where most of the terrorists who planned the recent attacks in Paris entered through the Internet. Most of the attackers were mentally unstable and had only minimal communication skills, most of which were picked up from online social networks. There are six types of media available on social networking websites. These include blogging, microblogging, video, picture sharing, VoIP, instant messaging, and bookmarking. All these types of media have different sets of users, purposes, and features. Social media serves as a useful tool to promote businesses, attract new customers, connect with existing customers, and disseminate information, among others. Video hosting is one of the most popular social media services today. It allows users to upload videos and pictures with the use of video-editing software, soundboard, sound, and additional graphics. With the help of popular video hosting sites like YouTube, Vimeo, Metacafe, and Dailymotion, uploading videos can be done fast and efficiently. Blogging is a great way to interact with others on the web and communicate with them on a daily basis. Blogs provide users with updated and unique content on a regular basis. Blogs can be used to express an opinion, to provide tips and strategies, or to advertise products and services. As of this writing, 3.8 billion users use the popular social media networks to share their thoughts every day. The six types of social media that we have discussed in this article are mainly the most common forms of SMM today. These include video hosting, microblogging, blogging, social networking, and message boards. This short primer should give you a good idea of how you can begin your own personal SMM campaign today! August 22, 2021 adminone Categories: News A CULTURAL APPROACH TO SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Technology is the collective term for a wide variety of human endeavors in which technological systems are applied to achieve specific ends. Technological systems are therefore anything that human beings apply to achieve a goal such as the development of new products, or new methods for doing things. In this broad sense, technology can refer to any method of action that humans use to improve their efficiency at work, or to make their tasks more convenient or effective. The scope and variety of technological systems are staggering, ranging from complex communications technologies used by governments and other organizations to simpler systems developed for the home, including digital cameras and microwaves, to the computer and the Internet that we use every day. Technology has various other uses, not least being the field of applied science. Applied science is subdivided into two fields: schatzberg syndrome and engineering science. schatzberg syndrome deals with pure research, whereas engineering science refers to the application of scientific principles in the design and fabrication of physical systems. Both of these fields are intimately connected, however, as each has its own place in the overall picture of technology. The relationship between applied science and technology is perhaps most revealing in the area of mechanical arts, particularly mechanics and electronics. The term science was first used in 1801 by the French thinker, Napoleon Hill. According to Hill, science is defined as “the progress of knowledge”. This definition is similar to the modern understanding of the term, in that it includes a range of natural sciences including physiology, astronomy, geology and geophysics. Another thinker closely associated with the art sciences, phenomenon, also includes an extended list of natural phenomena, which can include such phenomena as light, sound, heat, magnetism and electricity. In the twentieth century, however, the term science became associated more with technological advancement, drawing together practitioners of different disciplines within a framework that they hoped would provide a comprehensive description of the world. One way to view the relationship between science and technology is to view the twentieth century as a historical period of advancements in science and technology. For example, during the first half of the twentieth century, German engineers were highly regarded throughout Europe and were credited with a number of technological breakthroughs, including the invention of the internal-combustion engine. The onset of the Second World War appeared to cast a shadow over the field of applied science, but during the war both English and German engineers were able to use their enormous technological knowledge to produce weaponry that was unmatched in terms of lethality. Similarly, during the 1950s, the United States was engaged in an arms race with the Soviet Union, with the aim of creating a nuclear aircraft and missiles capable of destroying U.S. cities. Another way to understand the relationship between science and technology is to see it as a combination of three elements – a theoretical base, a body of knowledge and a set of methods and practices used to bring this theoretical base into material form. In Schatzberg’s view, there are four types of technological change. These include technological progress, which refers to improvements in technology that add to the goods and services already available; Technological change, which is a change in how technology is used or produced; Scientific progress, which refers to advances in scientific knowledge and the impact these have on society; Technological change, which is, in Schatzberg’s view, inevitable because without advanced technology no society can exist. His notion of four stages helps to provide a framework within which to understand the development over time. It is important to remember that while Schatzberg does not provide a definition for the stages, he has provided a useful starting point for understanding the development over time. In his book Science and Technology: A Cultural Approach, Johanna S. Schatzberg provides a much wider interpretation of science and technology, incorporating a social and cultural perspective as well. Although science and technology is often considered to be able to be separated from culture, this is not so and the two can indeed co-exist. In fact, as Sorkin points out in The Gamble Industry, the division between the ‘left’ and ‘right’ is often made by cultural attitudes towards science and technology. Consequently, it is not only politics that determine people’s attitudes to science and technology, but also their view of the world around them. Science and Technology are thus not only an abstract concept but a very complex and interlinked cultural system, with tremendous ramifications for society. August 20, 2021 adminone Categories: News WHAT IS THE INTERNET? InterNet is a system architecture that has transformed communications and modes of trade by enabling various geographically dispersed computer networks across the globe to interconnect with each other. At one time, the Internet was simply a bunch of computers connected to the World Wide Web. However, over time, the Internet has grown into a comprehensive system serving a wide variety of purposes including e-commerce, communication, education, file sharing, shopping, and basically everything else you can think of connecting to the Internet. The Internet grew out of the ARPANET, the predecessor of the Internet, an experimental system for distributing data over long distances. Over time, other technologies were developed to support the growing needs of the Internet, including the Extensible Markup Language (XML) for representing data and the Hypertext Preprocessor (HTML), a language for making hypertext documents, also known as web documents. In order to have something useful for internet users, the Internet needed something more: a communications protocol. This is what the Internet Protocol was. One type of Internet protocol is the IP packets, or packets of information which are carried on a network by electronic devices. An IP network is much like the physical network in that it contains one central point, but instead of sending information across that network, the information is sent in a series of “IP packets”. In fact, when someone types an IP packet in their browser, they are actually talking on a very simple network. When you visit a web site, the internet software takes your IP packets and encodes them into the form of a hyperlink, which is then sent back to the host machine. At the other end, the web server processes the hyperlink, compressing the data so that it can be sent across the network. This is the basic IP network model. The Internet itself is a huge system of communication using IP technology. People use the Internet to exchange information, whether it’s in chat rooms blog posts, or business documents. To surf the World Wide Web, you simply need an Internet connection. There are many different ways to connect to the internet, depending on where you are, or what you’re looking to do. For example, you may have your own Internet-connected laptop, while you travel to work at another location, or you may be able to use your cell phone to connect to the internet via a high-speed wireless connection. Even though the Internet itself is very broad, many people are not aware of all of the technology that is already in place. We know that the Internet is largely a digital form of communication, since it is widely used for e-mailing, discussion groups, social networking, online shopping, and many other applications. There are a number of ways to connect to the internet, depending on what it is you want to do. Some of the most common methods are: dial up | modem | world | service | information} If you choose to use a regular dial-up service, you can rest assured that your connection is slow. Dial-up connections often offer only page-per-page transfer speed, so information can take a long time to be displayed on your computer monitor. This means if you want to send an important e-mail, it can take days or weeks for the message to go from your e-mail provider to your computer. Fortunately, this type of Internet service is becoming less popular, with providers like DSL and cable being more competitive. If you have the opportunity to get Internet service from a larger company, you may be better off because they tend to be more competitive in their services, features, price, and reliability. August 19, 2021 adminone Categories: News SOCIAL MEDIA – MARKETING CAMPAIGNS WITH VIDEO HOSTING AND PODCASTS Social media are interactive communication technologies which enable the generation or sharing/ exchange of information, opinions, work interests, and various other types of expression through social networks and virtual communities. Social Media websites allow users to form or join user groups, forums, or online communities based on common interests and hobbies. Social media websites provide their users with the ability to share user-created content, such as photos, videos, games, applications, and user-generated news and articles. The most popular social media websites include Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Foursquare. Users can invite others to their friends list, create profile pages, share files, vote on topics, and search for and receive updates about different items. Social media can be grouped into several categories, including entertainment, information technology, networking, and social interaction. Entertainment uses the media to promote movies, television shows, video games, music albums, and game consoles. Information technology uses it to share information about software, hardware, Internet, email, blogs, and the Web. Networking uses it to find, connect, and to discuss business with others who share similar interests. Social networking allows anyone to become an expert in his or her niche. For example, if an individual has created a website about flipboards, he can find other individuals who share his or her interest and connect with them on social media sites like clipboard. He can also leave comments on other individuals’ pages, send private messages, comment on news stories, or upload pictures and videos of his latest gadgets or innovations. YouTube is one of the most popular and well-known social media websites. It is a video sharing website where millions of people can post videos of their everyday lives. The website has created so much hype because it allows the audience to create videos using a camera that can be accessed by the host. Individuals can upload as many videos as they want while others watch them. Via RSS, these videos can also be syndicated by other individuals and viewed through the Facebook interface or through a blog entry. Blogs have the capacity to reach out to millions of individuals. They can be shared through free webinar platforms such as Wealthy Affiliate and DailyMotion. A blog, when shared through social media networks, is easier for people to relate to since they can relate to the daily frustrations and joys of living an ordinary life. Social networks offer forums that can provide a venue for individuals to interact with one another. Social media networks such as Facebook, MySpace, and twitter are used to promote marketing campaigns and free webinar campaigns. There are several other ways to use media to market online. In addition to the traditional forms of media such as television, radio, and print, people can use social networking to access new opportunities. Social media networks offer a forum for individuals to voice their opinions and share personal stories. Through social networking, businesses can use the power of video hosting services and audio streaming services to market their products and services.

August 6, 2021 adminone Categories: News AN INTRODUCTION TO TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY AN INTRODUCTION TO TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY Technology is the manipulation of science for technological purposes, including production, consumption, or exchange. Technological interventions to the natural surroundings are often directed towards improving the standard of living of users. Technological innovations help people adapt to the current situations in terms of resources and energy. In addition, new techniques and methods of performing a certain activity are developed and modified to make these activities more efficient and effective. The process of applying scientific knowledge to the real world is known as technology. It has both economic and social effects on society. The progress made in various fields by applying science and technology is known as technicity. Examples of technicity include information technology, nuclear power, industrialization, aviation, communications, transportation, and many others. Technicity has two main meanings. The first meaning is used to refer to an activity that is directed at attaining practical aims through the use of scientific knowledge. This includes the application of scientific knowledge in business, politics, education, healthcare, and other social institutions. The second meaning is used to refer to technological innovations that are directed toward achieving purely practical ends such as self-realization, economic growth, and liberation from physical and mental constraints. The study of technology has various other forms. Some sociologists, for example, analyze how changes in the patterns of technology have affected the creation and formation of new institutions, as well as their relationship with the existing ones. This type of analysis tends to be quantitative in nature, and its scope may go beyond the narrow boundaries of a technological system. Other sociologists, on the other hand, attempt to relate technological systems to particular types of political economy. This approach tends to be more qualitative in nature, and it tends to lend a more sophisticated significance to technological systems than does the quantitative analysis offered by other types of sociologists. A number of factors combine to make up the matrix of a technological system. Technological systems tend to have their roots in particular cultural and socio-economic circumstances of a country or region, and they also reflect aspects of the society in which they are produced or practiced. They thus represent something that is particular to the societies in which they take root and which therefore have specific characteristics unique to them. This is why technological systems are usually studied not just in isolation, but in association with societies that have already developed and used them. Thus, when we speak of a technological system, we refer to something that is specific to a particular society and to which that society gives special emphasis. In doing so, we are able to speak of a technological system that is characterized by certain features. Such a description of a system helps us to better understand how and why certain systems arise, what their purposes and functions are, and how and why they might evolve or be replaced. Such a study helps us to think about the role of technology in the future of human beings. August 5, 2021 adminone Categories: News WHAT DOES THE INTERNET DO? InterNet is an international ISP provider. The Internet is a huge network, which links computers around the globe. Through the Internet, individuals can communicate with each other and share data from any place with an Internet connection. An IP address identifies every computer on the network. The Internet itself is governed by rules and a backbone, which are called the Internet Protocol (IP) in order to provide services like file sharing and fast Internet access. Through this service, you can connect to the Internet anywhere in the world and still access your email, chat, and perform other normal functions. With the advent of the Internet, there are many different types of connections that can be made between two or more computers using the Internet. The traditional method is through a local area network (LAN), where every computer has its own private portion of the network. In this case, each PC has access to only a small part of the total LAN. A router can be added between PCs so that all of them can access the entire LAN easily. There is no need for them to share resources such as resources and ports since they are on the same LAN. Although LANs are still widely used, they have lost popularity as more advanced means of Internet connectivity. Another way of getting connected to the World Wide Web is through the use of IP networks. These IP networks are similar to how a particular computer connects to the Internet. The major difference is that IP networks have their own protocol that needs to be followed. It is also possible for an individual to establish their own IP networks as well as connecting to the internet using these networks. There are many reasons why people prefer IP networks instead of other types. These include high bandwidth availability and portability among other benefits. Another important benefit of IP networks is that all computers on the network are able to access the internet at the same time. Unlike dial-up connections, all computers on a computer network will be able to connect at the same time. This makes it far easier for individuals to access the internet because there is no congestion on the network. One of the most popular ways of accessing the internet is by using e-mail. E-mail allows users to send and receive files and various other things via the mail. A relatively new technology called the Internet e-mail services has also come along in the past few years. This type of service has grown remarkably popular amongst those who use the internet for personal and business purposes. Most people will opt to opt for e-mail over other means of sending messages on the internet because this is the easiest method available. One of the most important things that people need to know about the internet is that it can be used for more than just sending e-mails. A growing number of businesses now make money solely off the web with the help of social media. Social media help provide a bridge between people and businesses. For example, if an individual has a blog or some type of social media account that contains content about their products and/or services, then they can allow people to read the posts and comments by posting them onto their social media networks. These posts will often include links back to the individual’s website where they can sell whatever they want. August 5, 2021 adminone Categories: News WHY SOCIAL MEDIA IS IMPORTANT TO SMES – MAKING IT WORK FOR YOUR BUSINESS WHY SOCIAL MEDIA IS IMPORTANT TO SMES – MAKING IT WORK FOR YOUR BUSINESS Thesis Networking is an emerging discipline of study which studies the impact of social media on the sales and performance of organizational leaders. Social media are basically online interactive technologies which enable the generation or sharing/ exchange of information, ideas, careers, interests, and many other types of non-linguistic expression through virtual online communities and networks. These communities and networks are often referred to as Web 2.0 that enables social interaction in a more comprehensive manner. Thesis networking has emerged as an academic subfield that studies the effect of these new media in organisations. It is mostly applicable to organisations and corporations, but also adapted to various other groups and subject areas such as schools, universities, the media, politics, and nonprofit organizations. One of the many benefits of utilizing social media websites, such as Twitter, Digg, Facebook, etc., is that it allows quick and immediate sharing of content with large amounts of people. This also makes content easily accessible and therefore faster to propagate. However, it can also be a disadvantage when users take for granted the norms of this sharing process such as following certain etiquette such as don’t RT, don’t embed URLs, etc., thus endangering the website from getting ranked high in search engine results and thereby increasing its eventual decline in traffic. Thus, when using social media platforms such as Twitter, it is important for us to take into account the importance of following the right etiquette and rules as well as follow the rules of the host website in order to gain the maximum advantage of using the system. Moreover, having the correct profile picture can also help build our brand image by creating a consistent online presence. Our brand image consists of three elements namely our website or blog, our product or service, and our followers. It is these three entities that make up our “personality” and what separates us from the rest of the crowd. This is why it is important to take good care of our followers and engage with them in interesting and informative conversations, for example through blogs and tweets. We can observe that many social media users spend only a few minutes on each platform per day. To get an insight of how we can optimize our time, we can analyze the activities of our followers. How much do they interact? How much do they share? Based on the answers we get from our followers, we can easily gauge the number of minutes per day that we should spend on each social platform. The next thing we have to keep in mind is that the amount of time that we spend on these platforms is directly related to the ROI that we can expect from our efforts. If we only engage in engaging and communicating with our followers, then there’s no way that we can measure the success of our social media marketing campaign. Thus, it is important for us to effectively advertise our campaigns on the various social networks available. However, it can be daunting to try and manage the distribution of our promotional materials across these platforms. Therefore, for effective results, we should outsource this task to a third party provider. Some of the best video sharing services include Hootsuite, Buffer and WordPresshare. With these platforms, you can manage your social media accounts in a simple way. You don’t need to spend precious hours uploading your videos or sharing your written articles. Instead, you can simply set up a section on your website or blog and let the software handle the rest. This will save you precious time and energy and will ensure that your social network campaign is a huge success. August 3, 2021 adminone Categories: News WHAT IS TECHNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AND HOW CAN IT HELP US SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS? Technology is the means by which scientific information is used for practical ends. Individuals can use technology to: Provide products or services. Carry out goals, for example, in the areas of scientific research or sending a man on the moon. Solve global problems, for instance, in the areas of disease or hunger. Design machines that are able to do extraordinary things, like build skyscrapers or fly planes. Design and build computers, cell phones, and other modern conveniences. Technologists learn all this through a process called scientific reasoning. They analyze, synthesize, and evaluate scientific knowledge to arrive at practical outcomes. This is usually done through several stages of research and development. There is typically a combination of art and science applied to produce new knowledge. Many people are interested in this field because they can use this knowledge to solve problems for people. Some of the typical technological activities include computer science, engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer sciences, and applied physics. These fields combine theoretical knowledge with practical application to solve real-world problems. Additionally, these disciplines can sometimes combine with other more advanced scientific areas to increase the depth of understanding. There is a wide range of possibilities when it comes to using these theories and methods in order to advance knowledge. Individuals can learn a wide variety of skills in these broad areas. The term ‘technology’ actually refers to the study of how science and technology are applied in practical life. In most regards, technology refers to the application of scientific knowledge in practical life to derive new knowledge, test predictions, create new technology, solve problems, and collect data. In laymen’s terms, technology is used to describe things that fall under the category of being practical. Practical knowledge on the other hand refers to general knowledge. For instance, if a person wants to build a car, he will learn the various components that go into the making of such a vehicle. He will learn about the various fuels that go into such a vehicle. He will also learn about airbags and the mechanisms involved in deploying those airbags. He may very well also learn about the myriad problems that automobile safety systems come with, and how to best avoid them in order to keep his automobile safe. All of this information learned during the process of developing a car will be called technological knowledge. In a broader sense, knowledge of this nature refers to general knowledge, on the one hand, and practical application, on the other. Therefore, it can also be used to refer to the application of scientific and technological concepts in real-world situations. All of the foregoing examples simply illustrate the fact that knowledge of this type has both theoretical and practical applications. In the end, it all boils down to the ability to understand and communicate the relevant information to others. August 3, 2021 adminone Categories: News BASICS ABOUT WI-FI AND YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER BASICS ABOUT WI-FI AND YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER InterNet is a term for any network that allows internet connections between computers. The Internet is actually a wide network which connects many computers all around the globe. Through the Internet, individuals can share data and communicate with each other from anywhere with an Internet access. In general, the Internet has been widely used as a medium for communication, research, and education. It also helps in completing business transactions and provides a platform for users to interact on social media websites. Various groups throughout the United States are trying to create interconnections among different computer networks. This is done in order to allow for faster and better transmission of data. The idea is to interconnect all the computer networks within the United States and make it possible for people to have easy access to the Internet. Some believe that the United States will become a major player on the global stage once certain nations realize how easy it is to get connected using the Internet. Some of these nations include; China, Iran, North Korea, Russia, India, and South Korea. Because of the popularity of the Internet, the World Wide Web, or the Internet as we commonly know it, is becoming a major player in the international business community. Different business enterprises, governments, and educational institutions are now able to share information over the Internet. Aside from exchanging information, the Internet also allows for political discussion and even for fundraising. However, it is important to note that the Internet does not function in the same way it did back in the days. Back then, the Internet was considered as a state of mind, now it is considered as a state of communications. In order for the Internet to be able to function as a global mode of communication, it requires widespread IT support. Large companies and governments have already established IT departments that are dedicated to strengthening their computer networks and Internet service providers are now beginning to provide high-speed broadband Internet services. With the popularity of social media sites like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, the use of the Internet as a tool for social interaction has also increased dramatically. It is because of this popularity that the Internet suddenly experienced a surge in traffic during the last few months. This surge in traffic was made possible by people accessing the Internet using different computer networks like dial-up, cable, DSL, and satellite. In order to access the Internet without any hindrance, you can use your web browser or a social networking site like Facebook. One of the reasons why the Internet became so popular is because people were able to stay connected with each other even if they are in completely different locations. Social networking websites have their own set of applications, which allow people to chat online, post pictures, videos, and documents. One of the most popular applications of the Internet is known as WAP or “wireless application protocol”. If you want to experience a better browsing experience when using the Internet, then all you need to do is connect to a high speed internet service provider such as DSL or cable. Just like any other modem-based network, you can connect to the World Wide Web via Wi-Fi. With a laptop, you can also access the internet through your mobile phone and the data from your phone can transfer to the laptop just as it would with a web browser. Another cool feature of Wi-Fi is that it lets you make applications to your laptop that function just like those in your web browser, thus allowing you to access the internet from any location. August 1, 2021 adminone Categories: News SOCIAL MEDIA – USING SOCIAL NETWORK ADVERTISING TO MARKET PRODUCTS AND SERVICES SOCIAL MEDIA – USING SOCIAL NETWORK ADVERTISING TO MARKET PRODUCTS AND SERVICES Social media are interpersonal interactive technologies which permit the generation or sharing/ exchanging/ exchange of information, discussions, ideas, personal career goals, and various forms of social expression through virtual communities and online networks. The term social media can refer to any one of the following: blogs (as well as individual blogs), micro-blogging platforms, social networking sites, video sites, RSS feeds, wikis, social bookmarking sites, message boards, discussion forums, multiplayer games, instant messaging systems, and other applications that are accessible on the Internet and whose primary users are typically other users of the same or a similar kind of media. Social networking sites and applications, in some ways, are like online communities (think of Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter), but they differ in a number of ways. For example, in a typical community, people are grouped together based on common interests and they interact with one another through discussion boards or message boards. In contrast, social media such as blogging, micro-blogging platforms, social networking sites, and wikis are generally used by individuals or small groups of people to share information or to interact with each other. In fact, many social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Digg, StumbleUpon and MySpace are highly active user communities that collectively provide a rich source of data and content for researchers who study media marketing and social network dynamics. A good example of this type of site is FriendFeed, which lets users create and manage RSS feeds. Many people use social media to connect with others. For example, some people may use FriendFeed to post information about what they are doing or what they are reading, or they may use Twitter to tweet about what they are doing. On the other hand, some business may use video hosting sites such as YouTube to share information about their products or services. Some businesses also use blogs, micro-blogging platforms, video hosting sites, and social networking sites to advertise their products and services. This latter type of use is referred to as social network advertising. One way that businesses use social media to market their products and services is by encouraging consumers to “tweet” about their experiences with their products or services. For example, a restaurant might ask customers on Twitter if they have had a good experience. The restaurant then uses the information gained from the Twitter “tweets” to tweet about its menu items and review the customer’s experience. Businesses can also take advantage of social media sites such as Facebook to host advertisements. Another way in which social media sites are used for marketing is by forming online communities or groups. For example, some websites such as LinkedIn have developed special sections that allow professionals to share information about their professional lives. Businesses can take advantage of these groups by inviting other professionals who may have similar interests to join their group. By forming groups and inviting others to be part of them, a business can build a network of other business owners who share the same goals and objectives. These groups can then be used to market the products and services of the business. The internet is fast becoming one of the most popular ways in which consumers engage with one another and form relationships. Although marketers recognize this, many still don’t fully understand the benefits of social network advertising. If a business wants to take full advantage of social network sites, it will be necessary to understand how they work. It will be important to begin studying social network sites such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter sooner rather than later in order to get the best results. July 31, 2021 adminone Categories: News TECHNOLOGY – AN INTRODUCTION TO TECHNOLOGY Technology is the study of how things are produced or how they operate. Technological change occurs continuously as new technologies emerge and as older ones become obsolete. It has affected every aspect of our lives from transportation to communication. With new technologies comes new ways of doing things, which usually necessitate even greater levels of innovation. The field of technology studies seeks to bridge the gap between science and technology, especially as it applies to human affairs. Technology is often defined by a combination of its theoretical study and application. Technological change occurs as a result of advances in technology for the better. Technological change is also a product of economic development and social progress. Technological systems, processes, and organizations are used to meet societal needs and increase the productivity of a country or organization. Technological progress is usually a product of human ingenuity and the application of scientific knowledge. Technology pertains to the applications of science and technology to the different fields of human activity. Technologists may be involved in the development of new products and procedures or improve on existing ones. Technological change is sometimes a natural outgrowth of economic activity and society or driven by an unforeseen impact upon human welfare. Technological change can affect almost any area of life. It includes computer sciences, engineering, communications, information, and physical sciences. Technology has various concentrations. Many areas of technology are applied sciences concerned with specific industries or subfields, while others deal more with the broad areas of technology. Technological engineers apply the knowledge of technology to specific fields, developing new products or processes. In applied technology, technologists are involved in the design, development, and use of equipment and systems that are economically or qualitatively useful to a specific industry or setting. Applied technology can also include computer sciences, information technology, health informatics, industrial design, and applied physics. Some areas of applied science are computer science, including computer systems, database management, numerical analysis, and software engineering; applied physics, which encompass a variety of scientific disciplines; and health informatics, which study the design, implementation, and evaluation of medical records and practices. In all these areas, technologists must apply their knowledge of technology to specific fields of activity. A Bachelor’s degree in a program that focuses on applied technology offers students the skills they need to compete in today’s job market. Graduates will have acquired both general technical skills and an ability to communicate their ideas in a clear and compelling manner. They will have gained valuable practical experience and developed the abilities to conduct thorough research and analysis. July 31, 2021 adminone Categories: News TIPS FOR MANAGING INTERNET ACCESS AFTER A VIRUS INFECTION The Internet is indeed a vast network that connects all computers around the globe. Through the Internet, individuals can share data and communicate with each other from anywhere using an Internet connection. For those who want to explore its many possibilities, there are many websites that allow you to download files, surf the web, and even connect to email and instant message programs. It is one of the most powerful means of communication today. And with millions of Internet users worldwide, there is no doubt that the Internet has definitely changed the way we do business and conduct our daily lives. However, what most people do not know is that the Internet goes far beyond these basic capabilities. You will definitely be surprised to know that the Internet even has several applications that will help you make the most out of it. These applications allow you to go beyond simply browsing the web. You can even upload pictures, videos, and music and share them with your friends via IM and e-mail. But because the dark web is considered as public, the information you put on the web is available to anyone who accesses the network. In order to make sure that your information is safe even if someone accesses the Internet through your computer, you have to use applications that restrict access to specific networks. There are several applications on the market that allow users to control what they are doing on the internet. Some of the most popular application programs are Internet Explorer and Firefox. Although they are not free, they offer good protection from the malicious programs that can harm your computer systems. FireFox especially protects your Internet browser from the hackers who want to spy on you and your activity on the internet. Apart from being used to limit access to networks, you also have to secure your computer systems in order to use the internet. This is because hackers are also trying to get into your computers. One of the ways that you can do this is by installing firewalls or other security applications that can prevent unauthorized access to your computer systems. You also have to update your security applications on a regular basis to protect your system against intrusion by hackers. Aside from these security applications, you also need to keep the default settings on your web browser to ensure that your browser can process the various protocols that are used in the internet. If it cannot process the protocols, the connection will be denied and you will have to use another web browser. However, most people are still unaware that hackers are also trying to penetrate the different networks that are on the internet. With the rise of social media websites, they are now vulnerable to attack from hackers. If someone has already compromised the security of your social media accounts, he or she can easily access your files and spread viruses. On the other hand, if you don’t update your antivirus software on a regular basis, it too will become useless to guard your computers against viruses. By using the best antivirus software that you can find online, you can protect your computer systems against viruses and other spyware programs that are on the internet. While it is important for you to protect your computer systems from intrusion from hackers and others who want to take advantage of the various available networks, it is just as important to make sure that your internet service provider has taken measures to protect your computers from intrusion by Wi-Fi users in your area. Most residential customers get their internet service from their local phone company and because most cell phones have Wi-Fi capabilities, this poses a huge threat to customers who use public networks such as e-mail servers, Wi-Fi hot spots, and even banks and other financial institutions that have wireless connections to the internet. For these customers, it is advisable that they either change their Wi-Fi settings so that other people using the same network cannot connect to their computer systems or that they purchase additional devices such as routers that can block Wi-Fi access to individual homes. If you have been affected by a virus that resulted in your computer systems becoming unusable, contact your internet service provider for further assistance. July 29, 2021 adminone Categories: News HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA Thesis of SOCIALMEDIA is to define the nature of the relationship between a digital media user and the social network on which he/she maintains a regular interaction. Social media are various interactive technologies which enable the creation or sharing, the exchange or sharing of information, thoughts, careers, other kinds of expression and other types of social activity through virtual communities or networks. These technologies have a profound effect on how people perceive themselves, find meaning in the world and connect to others. Social media, in addition to the traditional face-to-face communication methods have affected every aspect of our lives, making us more connected than ever before. In today’s high-speed internet world, we are literally surrounded by our social media and the internet communities that we belong to. From the personal to the professional realm, our daily activities are being driven by social media. From instant messaging to blogs to social networking sites, the influence of these technologies in our everyday lives is undeniable. Societal media networks like Facebook and MySpace are among the most popular websites in the world today. People from all ages and cultures are a part of Facebook and MySpace, creating a platform for social interaction. Because of the large amount of users and the general interest of users in using these platforms, videos, photos, articles and whatever else can be uploaded easily and quickly on these websites and become viral. Once an item becomes viral, it spreads like wildfire, creating a significant increase in traffic, visibility and, in some cases, money. With millions of people actively using these platforms to connect with each other, businesses and brands are able to benefit from the widespread usage of these media networks. A good example of how SMO has changed the way business is done is YouTube. Back in 2021, when YouTube first launched, it was mainly used by techies to share content with friends and family. Today, this social media site is one of the most visited websites on the web and millions of people log in each day to watch videos, clips and tutorials. The site allows users to make videos, comment on videos, rate and favorite videos and much more. Because of this ability to interact with customers and peers in real-time, businesses that utilize YouTube as a medium to share content can engage their audience in immediate and meaningful ways. Utilizing SMO to engage customers and peers online requires that businesses understand the different social media networks and how they work. YouTube is among the most popular SMM platforms available to businesses because it allows customers and peers to engage in immediate conversations. Users can add comments, create videos, upload clips of their activities and much more. SMO allows companies to get immediate feedback from customers and allows them to engage their audience in meaningful conversations that can lead to increased sales or exposure. Businesses that don’t actively engage with SMO are leaving themselves open to a number of potential problems. Social media allows for brand name recognition and increased exposure but businesses need to learn how to use these media platforms in a manner that is beneficial to their brands and profits. Many companies have the ability to engage consumers online through SMO but are not taking full advantage of the tools at their disposal. By learning how to effectively use social networks such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, companies can ensure that their brands gain a foothold in a very competitive and dynamic marketplace – one that they’ll be able to take advantage of for years to come. July 28, 2021 adminone Categories: News INNOVATIONS IN TECHNOLOGIES INNOVATIONS IN TECHNOLOGIES Technology is the collection of various techniques, tools, systems, and practices used in the creation of goods and services or in the achievement of specific goals, for instance scientific research. It is an ever changing field, whose scope is constantly expanding. There is no room for specialization, as each technology has a wider range of applications than any particular specialization. Broadly speaking, technology covers any technological advancement that makes it possible for goods and services to be manufactured, marketed, supplied, or experienced in new ways. Thus, technology can be defined as a generic term with which a company can be said to identify its specific area of technological focus. As technology is constantly evolving, a company must stay on top of it if it wants to remain relevant in an increasingly competitive market. In order to compete in a modern market, companies need to make use of a number of technologies, all of which have different applications. The aim of any company, then, is to utilize the best available technologies to produce, market, and supply its products and services. This calls for a constant stream of research and development (R&D). At any stage of technology adoption, the market is sure to witness new products and services, which will require adaptation to current knowledge and technology. R&D therefore represents the cornerstone of modern business activity. Innovation therefore refers to the process of introducing new products and services based on knowledge and technology that have already been developed. A company therefore implements innovation not only to develop and manufacture its own products and services but also to develop its competitors’. By developing its competitors’ technologies, the company hopes to create a competitive edge over its rivals. Furthermore, knowledge and technology allow a company to remain one of the leaders in its industry. Innovation is therefore the key to success, whether the company wishes to remain innovated or adapt to changes in its market sector. To achieve this goal, it must first determine what kinds of technologies will be most appropriate for its field of activity. For instance, if it manufactures automobiles, it must determine what kinds of technologies will be most appropriate for its industry and how it can obtain them. Once it has established its field of activity, the company can proceed to define its target market. In doing so, it has to determine whether the market segment it intends to enter is saturated or not. By so doing, it ensures that its product lineup will be diverse enough to woo possible customers away from its competition. The second step then is to identify potential places where it can strengthen its foothold. There are four basic dimensions on which market trends are measured, production capacity, efficiency, and profitability. The dimensions are then divided into distinct categories such as product, process, technology, and service. The product category refers to the technologies that the firm needs in order to manufacture its products. Process technologies relate to the manner in which the firm’s processes operate and technology refers to the knowledge and skills of the firm’s employees in dealing with the different kinds of technologies. July 27, 2021 adminone Categories: News IMPORTANT INTERNET PROTOCOLS IMPORTANT INTERNET PROTOCOLS Interbank Internet, a framework architecture that has transformed communications and systems of global commerce by enabling different computer networks across the globe to connect. In its most basic form, the Internet is a collection of interconnecting switches or routers on which information is exchanged between users with access to the Internet. At its most basic level, however, it consists of many independent data links that are activated by sending a request, rather than by receiving one. The Internet itself is not part of any physical property, but instead is a collection of systems that work together in order to exchange information. The backbone of the Internet is a collection of networks called the Internet Service Provider (ISP) or backbone. Internally, each system is made up of a bunch of these systems, all responding to requests sent by the user. The user, however, does not need to know anything about the inner workings of the Internet except that it exists. When the user makes a request to the internet service provider for something like a web page, information is returned from the servers in various hops along the way and is transformed into packets carrying information back to the user. When the information reaches the destination, it is transformed back into packets carrying information back to the user and so forth over the internet. Every hop along the path is called a layer, and there are four layers to the full network: layer 1, which is commonly known as the public network; layer 2, which is used by anyone who desires to access the internal network; layer 3, which is private (meaning it is used by restricted classes of people); layer 4, which is the physical layer of the Internet. At this point, it may be helpful to explain what IP is. An IP, or internet protocol, is a series of numbers that identifies every network connection on the Internet as well as every computer which is trying to access any of the networks. The Internet was created as an experiment to bring fast and inexpensive communication between computer networks using various methods such as email, telephony and file sharing. Later, the Internet underwent several modifications to make it more useful and interesting to users, and the “backbone” of the internet, the ARPANET, was born. ARPANET was designed to become a way to connect to other international networks, similar to an intercontinental telephone exchange, with the use of radio waves. ARPANET was the forerunner of the modern Internet. Today, with the advent of social media and the rise of websites like Facebook and Twitter, the backbone of the internet has changed drastically. People have become used to sharing pictures, videos, information, applications and various other things on the internet. This has brought forth a completely new world of online activities and applications, and the need for a secure system to keep the information which users have uploaded safe and secure. In order to meet this challenge, the federal government and many private organizations have come up with a number of technological solutions designed to strengthen the internet against external threats. The internet is a global medium with information reaching anywhere in the world within a matter of seconds, and the internet protocols, which allow users of the internet to communicate have become a critical tool to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the data that is being shared. Internet security controls are designed to detect and prevent unauthorized connections, cookies, viruses, Trojans, spyware, attacks and intrusion attempts, all of which can be harmful to the proper functioning of the internet. The latest security technology implemented in today’s internet services is the Wide Area Network (WAN), which are able to transmit large numbers of high quality packets of data at very high speed, and has the capability to handle larger bandwidth transfers than any previous form of internet networking. July 26, 2021 adminone Categories: News SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING AND BRAND CONVERSIONS THROUGH CONNECTIONS Social media are basically interactive media which enable the generation or sharing/ exchange of information, concepts, career goals, and other types of social expression through virtual communities and online networks. This type of media is generally used to promote businesses, products, organizations, and people. There is no restriction on the content being shared as long as it is not abusive in any way. It can be news, videos, photos, or even music. The basic purpose of SMO is to generate traffic or visitors to a site. The most popular social media outlets are Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr, FourSquare and Flickr. SMO can also target smaller niche audience by engaging them with the information and resources that they find interesting. The target audience is much broader than the audience of a conventional media outlet such as newspaper, television or even posters. This means that there is a greater possibility for generating higher engagement levels for a blog post or a marketing strategy. To encourage conversation and build an audience, there are many SMO activities such as blogging, podcasts, videos, surveys, questionnaires and more. All these activities provide a platform for the audience to engage with you and to share their views and opinions with you. This in turn, creates valuable backlinks to your blog or website, which will further enhance the social media presence. A successful marketing campaign would have a combination of traditional and social media to achieve the desired goals. Creating a blog is one of the most important activities that you can do to promote your business online. You can use social networks like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, MySpace and others to promote your blog posts, news and product announcements. It is important that you create content that will engage readers and will drive traffic to your website. This is the essence of SMO, creating and attracting conversations between your readers and prospects. The more engaging your content is online, the more likely readers are to engage with it. When you are able to create a dialogue between readers, prospects and businesses, you become a credible source of information and you can create a sense of trust in your readers. This makes it easier for you to sell products and services to these individuals. This also increases your social network’s credibility as well. If people feel like they can trust you, they are more likely to buy from you as well. The key is to continue to develop your engagement tactics so that the conversations you start now will eventually generate more revenue for your business down the line. To be effective, your social media marketing must take into consideration the interests and needs of your target audience. In addition, you must stay on top of the trends being experienced by your target audience. These are all factors that will help you be a player in the world of SMO and brand conversations that are essential for long-term success. If you use social media marketing effectively, you can attract business owners and consumers who will ultimately make it easy for you to build your business. July 25, 2021 adminone Categories: News ACHIEVING PRACTICAL APPLICATION ACHIEVING PRACTICAL APPLICATION Technology can generally be defined as the application of scientific knowledge for practical applications. It basically refers to a network of machines, generally connected to each other, that are designed to perform certain tasks. Technological innovations can be broadly classified into three categories: Economic value: These are essentially goods and/or services that increase the economic power of a country. Technical value: This is mainly used to refer to new applications in various fields. There are many advantages associated with the adoption of scientific and technological knowledge. People who adopt these methods show a sense of pride and accomplishment. For example, it makes sense to learn more about the industrial applications of the electric car if you own one. The same is true for the different fields that science has made significant contributions to. In fact, people tend to look at technologies as something that has already been proved, which helps them not to feel too much skepticism. As people become more knowledgeable about the latest developments, they will often want to share their newfound knowledge with others. They are likely to develop a desire to share their knowledge with others and this can have major implications for society. Scientific and technological literature can prove to be extremely beneficial to those who need it the most. Since it is not possible for everyone to read all the relevant books on every subject, they might find it more useful to read up on scientific breakthroughs or technological innovations and then to apply this knowledge in their own fields. Over time, science and technology may play an even bigger role in society. Some predict that technology will play a large part in human social structures, leading to greater equality and opportunity. Others are less worried about the future of science and instead more interested in creating practical applications that can help improve the quality of life. This type of interests has caused many people to study science and technology in depth. As more people learn about science and technology, they may also be more open to the idea of scientific and technological innovation. Many already use technology to solve practical problems within their daily lives. In other cases, people simply think of science and technology as a way of doing things. Either way, a change in societal structure can be a positive thing when science and technology to make the process of solving problems easier. When scientific breakthroughs result in practical solutions, society benefits from rapid technological change. The process of applying science and technology is complicated and scientists and inventors work in their own fields all the time. In order for a technology to be developed properly, it must be tested and tried out in real life situations. When this happens, a technology’s practical application is known. As people start to use and learn new technologies, they continue to make improvements and discover new ways to apply the knowledge. As these changes occur, a society will continually benefit from the practical application of technology. Society can continue to prosper and have a well-functioning society if people continue to learn about science and technology and apply that knowledge to practical ends. July 24, 2021 adminone Categories: News WHY IS THE INTERNET SO POPULAR? InterNET, an internet system architecture which has transformed communication and networks of commerce by enabling different computer networks throughout the world to connect. In some cases called a global network of computers, the Internet quickly became accessible to the public in the mid-1990s but didn’t become noticeable to the general public till the late 1990s. The Internet, by definition, is a worldwide system of interconnected computers. This means that just about everyone in this world can use the Internet at any time, anywhere. Networking is what makes the Internet work, and most people are familiar with the concept of networks and how they work, but Internet users have no idea how the Internet actually works until they start connecting networks together. In fact, many people may be surprised to learn that many networks on the Internet are actually not networked at all but mere systems to transfer information. Although you may have heard the term “networking” in connection with the Internet, many people are unaware that it is really just a different way to describe the same concept. There are many different types of networks that make up the Internet. One of these is the ARPANET, an acronym for Advanced Rapid Application Network, which is a set of toll-free phone lines and network services which connect the major local telephone companies to a collection of computer networks which are collectively called “cybernetic network”. The Internet was not created by the United States or any of its citizens, but the United States government got involved in creating the Internet because of the value of the technological space the Internet could provide to the nation. By coordinating research and development, along with public input and ownership of the Internet, the United States has become the largest single owner of the Internet. Many people are unfamiliar with how the Internet works, and would be surprised to find out that the Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks that are accessible through the World Wide Web. While these networks were originally developed for the use of researchers and academics, they are now being used by every day people around the globe. As of this writing, there are approximately 4 billion people around the world who have either access to the internet or know how to use the internet to its full potential. With the United States leads the pack in terms of the number of internet users, it is no surprise that the US government has made the Internet available to all citizens. One of the most popular types of networks to have recently come online is the Internet itself. The very fact that the Internet was established and continues to grow exponentially demonstrates that the goal of the developers of the Internet was not to simply provide a platform for sharing information but rather to create a global, interconnected computer network that would eventually replace all other modes of communication. In order to accomplish their mission, the United States government handed the task of designing and maintaining the worldwide web over to commercial organizations, each of which had different objectives in mind. AT&T was the one who took on the job of making the initial communications systems, while Bell Atlantic, Microsoft, and Cisco quickly put together their own proprietary protocols and systems to support the international community. These days, any American can simply go online and check out his or her Facebook page, MySpace page or just about any other location where internet users congregate. This is thanks to companies like AT&T and Verizon, who along with hundreds of other corporations, took on the job of making the first commercial intranets available to the public.
