...One advantage of easily accessible information is convenience. Easily accessible information is convenient for people to catch the latest stories, listen to new songs on the go whether it is on the internet or the radio. People can watch and share music videos to those songs as well; while holding conversations through conversation with many friends immediately. This is more convenient than reading a magazine, watching television, listening to the radio and chatting on a cell phone at once to do the same thing. It allows people to multitask and do those things proficiently while conforming to society’s environment. One of the disadvantages to easily accessible information is when serious or sensitive information is available when it shouldn't be. It is annoying when a person uses Facebook to post that a family member perished in a car accident before the information can be passed to the other family in the correct way. Not all news should move fast and be easily obtainable or accessible. It is disrespectful this way sometimes. There are a few advantages to using social media. One advantage could be promoting a product. Word of mouth spreads and the more people that see your product is good. Social media is a cheap way of advertising. It also has the means to draw people to another website or blog. I do this all of the time with my photography website. I will give a sneak peek into something I am doing and then try to lure them over using my webpage. Social media can also be...

...“Our museum is accessible: we have ADA compliant restrooms.” “It’s too expensive to make the museum accessible to such a small minority.” “There is nothing for a blind person in an art museum.” (McGinnis 138) These are the unfortunate views of some museum professionals regarding Universal Design. Universal Design is an important concept that moves beyond ADA regulations to emphasize ethics and values in attitudes, behaviors, and institutional structures. ADA compliancy is not enough, especially in one area of a building. Universal Design does not have to be expensive; some fixes are simple and easy. Additionally, an art museum can offer a blind person an equally rewarding experience that someone without a visual impairment may have; it just takes a little Universal Design. A lot of what the Americans with Disabilities Act accomplished is now taken for granted as the standard and it is forgotten that the world was, not that long ago, a very different place. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), passed on July 26, 1990, guaranteed equal rights, treatment, and protections to all persons living with disabilities within the United States (Americans 5). This was not the first law to afford protections to those with disabilities; however, it is undeniably the most comprehensive formulation of the rights of individuals with disabilities in the history of the United States. More than fifty million Americans have some kind of physical, sensory, cognitive, or mental disability...

People can use it to access helpful information and educate themselves, but it can be used for less positive results. From the chemical formula for bombs to how to kill someone, the darker side of the internet is easily accessible to everyone. Another problem is the kind of people who have access to this tool: infants, teenagers, adults, and even elderly patients with dementia. However, monitoring internet usage crosses several personal barriers and would infuriate the American public. Internet usage should remain private unless a national crisis proves a need for it. Many problems caused by the internet are due to access. Now that smartphones are a staple of American...

...Web or Mobile Applications- Google Drive Jonie Bonfield IT/205 Saturday, July 26, 2014 Karen Diggs Web or Mobile Applications-GOOGLE DRIVE Google.com is not only a top search engine on its own, but the majority of Google’s web applications are highly ranked as well. Google’s mission statement says a lot about what it offers- “Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” This is not surprising, as on a regular basis we can find information on how other Google web applications- Google Forms, Google Drive, Google Docs, and Google Calendar have been groundbreaking for millions. For the sake of this assignment, Google Drive is the main subject of this paper. We can go into any office building throughout the world and find numerous technology devices and tools used to save and share information between other people and computers. These devices and tools can include USB flash drives, portable harddrives, memory sticks, data CDs, etc. However, all of these are disposable. Meaning they can be ruined, destroyed, erased, and stolen. How is that a benefit to our work environment? So say we saved an incredibly important research project on a USB drive, a couple of USB drives actually, just in case. What are our options if those USB drives were to disappear or get ruined somehow? How could, as they say, “the show go on”? Seriously, what are the options for us to present those barrier breaking research results to the major...

...valid. Quantitative research is concerned with data and addresses question such as “how many?”, “how often”, “who?”, “when?” and “where?” The results of quantitative research will generally be numerical form – for example: * 35% of customers rate the new product as “attractive” * 70% of potential customers use the Internet to buy their hotel accommodation in Dorset * 3 out of 5 customers will buy a new food product after being offered a free in-store sample Quantitative methods are those which concentrate on numbers and frequencies rather than on meaning and experience. What is it? Quantitative research is a more logical approach which provides a measure of what people think from a statistical and numerical point of view. For example, if you wanted to know how many of the customers like the new car or our new customer service and how strongly (on a scale) they support it, then this will provide the company with a numerical statistic. Quantitative research can gather a large amount of data that can be easily organized and conveyed into reports for analysis. How to do it Quantitative research uses methods such as questionnaires and surveys with set questions and answers that respondents tick from a predefined selection. Answers can be measured in strengths of feeling such as ‘strongly agree’ ‘disagree’ or numbers such as scales out of 10. This form of research will help Aston Martin to gather fair opinions about their products and services. Quantitative...

Companies that follow with the traditional way of doing business and cannot adapt with the times will be left behind, losing market share, facing operational and financial constrains and eventually fold up as a last resort.

...time wisely results in tasks going unfinished. The management of time provides individuals with an opportunity to meet all their tasks during the day while providing individuals with relaxation from the stressfulness and overwhelming experience of never achieving all the daily goals. Time management offers individuals the reward of scheduling their days based on the necessities and having enough time throughout the day to meet all their needs. To obtain information on time management individuals can turn to many sources. The internet is an easily accessible tool to find answers and information on time management. Though the internet provides unlimited information, at times the information overload can be overwhelming. Placing a simple search for time management on the internet will provide an individual with thousands of websites, some credible while others are not. Though the internet provides a fast resource the time spent researching may prove more ineffective and time consuming than other options. Some information may prove to be beneficial but most will be general knowledge that seems vague and lacking in techniques to incorporate these time management skills into everyday...

Whether it’s browsing current affairs on twitter, communicating with friends on Facebook, or scanning through the millions of informative or ridiculous videos on YouTube, or even all three! Not only do social media vessels allow us these common comforts that make our lives a lot more entertaining and easy, they also can serve a more serious purpose, a recent example would be the organizing of protests and even battles through social networking sites such as Facebook and YouTube in the Middle East (CNN, 2011). Social media is the reason the fights against their ruthless dictator have been successful. Or the controversy and tension that was caused by the releasing of information by the free information activist organization Wikileaks, which may possibly lead to the detainment of its founder and leader Julian Assange.

...findings to this report shows how internet has changed traditional methods of job searching into a more dynamic and efficient way of searching and applying for jobs. Traditional methods of job searching include handing in countless paper resumes, looking in newspapers, and referrals from friends and family; all in which can take up time and effort. The online job searching industry also lets employers reach a wider audience with online job advertisements and gives them the opportunity to locate and recruit suitable candidates for vacant positions.

Online profiles and advertisements help users to easily find the criteria they are after. The free registration for both parties creates an effective communication channel between employers and job seekers to find the right person to fill job vacancies.

Skilled people are needed to design a questionnaire especially to gather valid and reliable data. Easy and difficult aspects of creating and conducting an online questionnaire: First, I would explain the easy aspects of creating and conducting an online questionnaire. Online questionnaire is very effective when targeting a large number of people in terms of gathering valuable information. There are two ways of doing online questionnaire: email questionnaire and web based questionnaire. Email questionnaire is not that effective and hard to reach a maximum number of participants.

Creating a web-based questionnaire is easy, especially survey type of questionnaire. Simple questions are asked in a form of multiple choice items, text entry, matrix and multiple single choice items.
