Each user that has an Internet connection on a LAN is called a node, these nodes are configured to a peer to peer client. IN metropolitan area, networks, they connect to servers and clients that is larger than a single office or building. There are many types of topologies which is a connection to all nodes on a peer LAN with a single cable. There is another which is called ring and star topology which both connect to a separate node to a central device or hub that transmits or passes directly to that destination. Another technique we also learned about in another chapter would be transmission media, this is a network that is a cable and wireless media such as coaxial twisted pair and fiber optic cable infrared transmissions, one example of that would be a blue tooth that RF technology that sends and receives wireless between devices.

Career

I am majoring in Digital Media, the photography track. I am thinking about transferring to a 4 year college such as Ub or Buff state. My career goals contain opening up my own business with photography someday, and hopefully in the future and make something good out of that.
Technology that Ive studies so far in this course would help me alot. There are some different things that i did not know and now i do such as Jing. I did not know how to use jing until i got to this class. Jing  allows you to take photos without having to copy from the web or in my instance having a mac you would need to open the photo in photoshop and edit it and everything you need to do to it and that's a hassle to do everytime. So knowing this technology is a good think to know for the future.

Video and Social Media Search

Online Video is increasing, its a growing number and more and more users are accessing the Internet with broadband connections. Google, video, clip blast and yahoo and more are some websites that offer video clips. Mainly plagiarism when students don't have time to look up quick information in books or anywhere else. Some sites offer complete papers, test answer and assignments on the cast number of topics.
The consequences for plagiarism are serious, Instructors often can find out if you paper has been plagiarised or not. The writing style can differ if your plagiarising a paper, it can be more advanced for your writing type. All these signs of plagiarism can be detected. Plagiarism can be very serious and you could get in serious trouble for copying assignments off the Internet. If plagiarism is real serious it can contain the government and that's when you get fined or arrested. Now if you in school, you can get expelled and kicked out of school and never come back if that's up to the school board. Some school often screen plagiarism using a software to detect the plagiarism.

Searching The Web

The Search Process people rely on the web to find information quickly. As you learned choosing the best search tool this particular tool uses many different types of tools. Such as Google, stumble upon, Bing, and blinkx. In general when evaluating tools look for tools that are easy to use, return search results quickly, present the most relevant search results for a keyword search, clearly indicate paid or sponsored links in their search results list. In formulating the search query the next step process of searching the web is formulating a search query. To define a search query or question defines the information you seek. A query should include at least one keyword, a specific word that describes that information.
Searching keywords are entered in a search tool search text box. Examining the search tools actually perform a search and then display it in the search result list in carious ways. A targeted search seeks specific information using keywords, combinations. Authority the first step in determining of the information on the web page is to examine its authority. To do is determine who owns or sponsors the web site. Directories a human complied list of web pages organized by category is called directory. One of the first directories was created by Jerry Yang, and David filo, two doctoral students at Stanford, who began to keep a list of interesting web pages for the personal use. This process is sometimes called drilling down the dictionary categories search engine tips and shortcuts. A Boolean Operator is a conjunction used in a logical expression, when given multiple keywords in a query, a search engine uses the and, or, not. Use an advanced search form such as Bing, to search with an advanced form of search query that finds the pages with information about the U.S government is adaptation program for wild horses and burros.

Feeding Your Internet

In Chapter 2, RSS Feeds informed me about a popular tool called the RSS reader. Basically what and RSS reader is, is a software that has features, used to subscribe to the web. RSS stands for (Really Simple Syndication) or ( Rich Site Summary). There are other RSS services that you could subscribe to such as Newzcrawler, or Sub headlines. It is very easy to subscribe to an RSS feed. Here are some steps to setting up an RSS Feed. You start a website such as AOL or Msn, and you click the tab button right underneath the address bar then you click the RSS button which is usually orange. When the box appears for you to subscribe to this feed and it will appear on your screen. Also i learned how to view and delete and RSS Feed, it is very simple to do so. To view your RSS feed by clicking the favorites center to view the list of feeds. To delete its just another simple process you have to learn. You can just right click on your feed you want and click delete and yes when told. Simple. The address bar and the drop down list allows you to revisit a web page just by clicking a URL in the address bar drop down list. Another feature that you could use would be the Auto Complete tool, this tool allows you to store your UR L's that you type in your address bar.

Using The History

This history button is another easy way to revisit a Web Site. You can display a list of these sites and pages by just clicking the history tab. You can organize your own view of the history list by clicking the view by the date button at the top of the list and selecting a different viewing order for example, by site, by most visited, or visited today. I think this tab is a good button to have because your computer automatically saves so if your computer shuts down or the battery is going dead you can always count on your history tab because you van go back to your website if you need to.


Address Bars

An IP Address in which stands for ( Internet Protocol Address). This address in terms also identifies your computer or device to the Internet. For example on IP address looks like this "69.32.133.79". Personal computers will mostly have a broadband connection or have a permanent IP Address that changes.

Chapter 2 Web Portals

A Web Portal is simply a special type of websites that basically offer online pages or maps or general purpose sites such as, Yahoo, Lycos, Msn and aol also contains email, search bar. My examples can be found inside the tourquise boxes, for example around AIM, family, Celebrity News, and Health and Diet.

Net Neutrality

What is net neutrality? Internet services should not be allowed to block, degrade or change extra for legal content and applications on the net. Yes i do care about this subject because there are some content that i would need to look up and study but if i cant get into them then i cant learn, and that blocks me from doing what i need to do. Google and Verizon are the two leading companies on the net. In early August those two started an argument for and "Open Internet". Charging for facebook or any other sites, that would be ridiculous because we already have to pay for the internet already so that would be a fight it self. I do not think the government should be charging anything. If anything i would think that the government also has internet so don't they think that they would have to pay for anything they charge also, so charging would not be doing themselves a favor at all.

Chapter 1

After reading chapter 1 "Discovering The Internet" i learned that time is changing and there are so many more things you have to learn. The internet is getting more complex and the world is interacting more and more to computers and technology. Using the internet has obviously changed the world through work, school, and communication skills. There are so many different people who use the internet to students to grandparents, all aspects of life. Basically there are many programs that are popular such as INTERNET EXPLORER, GOOGLE, FIREFOX, and many more. In the 1990's Tim Berner's Lee's develpoment caused Internet usage to expand greatly. Email is very common now that not everyone has a cell phone or maybe its just easier to use. There are many other ways to communicate on the web other than email. In the 1960's, started the worlds first computer networking system and 10,000 computers existed at that time. What i found interesting was that i always wondered when computers were brought up and how the internet was formed, it had to be a lot of work to figure out how to bring WI-FI to the entire world, its a pretty big process i would say. Its amazing to think about how everything is so connected to everyone, by just wires and technology.
