...applications that I started using more frequently now are Around Me and Breathometer. Around Me is an application that quickly finds nearby Point Of Interests such as restaurants, hotels, theaters, hospitals and much more. I like using this application when I go to areas that I am not familiar with and need to find a place to eat or stop. Breathometer is a device that lets users measure their blood alcohol content using their iOS and Android smartphones. It plugs into your phone’s audio jack and turns your smartphone into a portable breathalyzer. It obtains your current blood alcohol level by simply blowing into the device, it then learns how long before you are “back to zero,” and also allows you to call a local cab directly from the app. This app gives you the power to make smarter decisions when drinking and being responsible. 2) I know that Privacy Policies are put in place to protect the consumer, but are they really? I attempted to read the terms for a recent application a few weeks ago and about half way through the terms, I stopped reading. The amount of words and language they use causes any reader to lose interest half way and just accept the terms and think, “ohh what could possibly happen? What are they really going to do with my information?” I too used to be a thinker in that bandwagon and recently started to notice the Critics also question if consumers even read privacy policies or can understand...

...Ahad Rauf Tara Forbes English 1020 9/12/15 Is Txting Good 4 U? With technology getting better and better throughout the years, society’s chosen form of communication changes. From writing letters, to making phone calls and emails, Texting is today’s number one way of communication between young adults. 97 percent of young adults send text messages every day (Knight 1). Texting became popular when these young adults were teenagers, in 2000. It is also the best way to communicate with today’s teenagers, with 63 percent of teens sending messages every day (Ngak 1). While this form of communication may be relatively new, it is here to stay. The question is, what is the affect of texting on teens? Although people may believe that texting is detrimental to teenagers’ literacy rates in terms of spelling abilities due to the use of “textisms” or texting abbreviations, it actually has a positive effect. Texting is beneficial to teenagers because it affects teen literacy in a constructive way, by improving spelling and reading skills and giving teachers a tool to use in the classroom, while also evolving the English language. The first text message was sent in 1992. The next year, in 1993, Nokia created the first phone with texting capabilities. It only worked if the recipient of the text had the same cellular plan as the sender. Finally, in 1999, texting people on other networks was finally allowed and it began to take off. The standard texting plan at the time was 35 texts...

...INDP Final Kudler Fine Foods Network Design Project NTC 362 March 17, 2014 Introduction This paper will present the Final Integrative Network Design outlining the cumulative plan that Kudler Fine Foods has accepted and agreed on for implementation of the following: Final Network Design The integrative network design project for Kudler Fine Foods will include Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) will be used as a means of communication within a private network or the internet for Kudler Fine Foods network devices. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is used for transfer of multimedia files, video, sound, and text over the internet. Kudler Fine Foods will implement File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to download files, transfer files, delete files, copy and rename files from the internet as needed. Mesh Protocol will be used to connect all devices such as printers, computers, and scanners on the network. In a true mesh topology every node has a connection to every other node in the network ("Common Physical Network Topologies ", 2014). The network will consist of a hardware firewall blocking unwanted access from outside of the location. The next step is to set up a hub or switch that will connect all of the stores terminals. All of these terminals such as registers and remote locations such as warehouse will be hardwired with twisted pair CAT 5 Ethernet cable. The server will be located in a room in each store with the hub or switch. A wireless...

...TAKING LEADERSHIP IN A DIGITAL ECONOMY BY TELSTRA CORPORATION LIMITED AND DELOITTE DIGITAL November 2012 deloittedigital.com.au telstra.com A NOTE FROM DAVID Consumers and businesses are rapidly embracing digital technology and this is redefining the traditional transaction model. We now have a new generation of globally connected consumers and businesses who behave very differently – and we must all adapt to these changes and take advantage of the new opportunities. By the end of the decade we will have connected just about every device to next generation networks, from smartphones and offices of the future, to educational resources and digital home appliances. The changes we are talking about are transformational. Everything, everyone and every place will be connected. This will make us more innovative and more competitive – and change the way we live and work for the better. The challenge ahead is how to best use the tremendous creativity, innovation and capability of Australians to participate in these new opportunities – whether it be m-commerce, Big Data, robotics or social media. Every part of our economy can benefit from this new era of connectivity. Our role, as Australian business leaders, is to help build a 21st century economy that is locally accessible and globally competitive. As a nation, we can lead the world and create positive change.

...have taken stock of their faculty and class offerings by means of paper evaluations, typically administered during class towards the end of the term. This practice began in the 1920s and has been the standard since (Mau & Opengart 2012). However, during the last fifteen years universities have increasingly abandoned paper forms in favor of an online system, in which students complete course and faculty evaluations through a website, out of class and usually on their own time. The adoption rate among schools rose from 2% in 2000 to 33% in 2005, with the most common reasons cited being the cost and time savings (Guder & Malliaris 2013). Despite these potential benefits, many professors fear repercussions in the form of lowered response rates and biased scores. This paper aims to examine these concerns and also propose how a small school such as Fitchburg State University can implement online evaluations. First, I would like to briefly discuss why a school would want to switch to online evaluations. There are three primary reasons: online evaluations reduce paper costs (and postage for distance learning courses), which in turn is a way to “go green,” or be more environmentally friendly; online evaluations also saves many hundreds of hours across the various staff that have to prepare, print, scan, and analyze paper-based evaluations; and lastly, online evaluations do not take up valuable class time. As one UC Davis student complained, “Professors sometimes skip over material...

...usually priced on a pay-per-use basis. Saas providers generally price applications using a subscription fee. Proponents claim that the SaaS allows a business the potential to reduce IT operational costs by outsourcing hardware and software maintenance and support to the cloud provider. This will enable a business to reallocate IT operations to focus on other IT goals. In addition, the application is hosted centrally, so updates can be released without users having to reinstall new software. The drawback of SaaS is that the user stores their data on the cloud provider’s server. As a result, there could be unauthorized access to the data. End users access cloud-based applications through a web browser or a light-weight desktop or mobile app while the business software and user's data are stored on servers at a remote location. Proponents claim...

...Spring 2007 New Experiences, Emerging Consumer Issues This Update explores the emerging field of mobile commerce, generally defined as business-to-consumer commercial activities conducted via a mobile device. Technological developments within the wireless industry are giving rise to healthy growth forecasts for the mobile sub-set of electronic commerce. This paper describes the main types of mobile commerce applications available to Canadian consumers. Consumer protection issues and a number of policy initiatives are also discussed, in light of experiences of earlyadopting countries. Monitoring the consumer issues raised by mobile commerce will assuredly be required as technological developments and consumer uptake further evolve. Mobile Commerce: Winter 2010 The Consumer Trends Update is published by the Office of Consumer Affairs, Industry Canada. It provides brief reports on research or policy developments related to themes explored in the 2005 Consumer Trends Report, which is available at: www.consumer.ic.gc.ca/trends. The recent boom in mobile devices, in terms of both the scope and nature of usage, is heightening the potential for mobile commerce.
