Blown to Bits chapter 2,5,7 and 8

     In chapter 2 it explains the none of the information can be kept safe. The author compares to  George Orwell's novel 1984, about how the people are being watched by a government force Big Brother.  In the novel, the ruling party has complete control over the people like what they doing and things like that. An the author is comparing this with the modern day London. The author states the Subway bombers of 2005 to claim his point. The author is saying that we are always exposing our information to others. He says that when the cell phone is on, it constantly send signal to a cell tower. It allows the cell phone company to know where you are or located. This is one way you know information can't be kept safe. To sum it up, this chapter is mainly indicating  how your information is precious to anyone in a post-digital revolution world, making it important for anyone to protect their information. In chapter 5 it talks about how to protect data from others who snoops on your d

Current Event

      This week the current event is that objects can bring optical connection onto silicon chips. Silicon chips is  a tiny wafer of silicon used to make an integrated circuit or another way to call it is a micro-chips. The MIT News Office explains that the huge increases in computing show in recent years has been accomplished by tightening in more transistors in crowded space on micro-chips. The effect of this was that this downsizing meant packing the wiring within microprocessors even more together. Leading into things like signal leaking between components which slows down connection between different parts of the chips. It is known as "interconnect bottleneck". The researchers are trying to figure out material or things that is compatible or able to work with silicon. In order to bring out " optoelectronics and optical communication" on-chip, but it is said that its difficult to prove it by Jarillo-Herrero. 

Lab1

 In Lab1 we had to explain who we are. Also, we used html tags such as <br> , <h1>to <h6> , <center> and more such. We can do it in Textedit or Dream Weaver. I first used TextEdit but changed into Dream Weaver because Dream Weaver shows you the code and how it looks live. For TextEdit its just code you have to type in. We have to the lab number which is our first lab and it had to be in a webpage. At first, I didn't know how do it put into a website and thought it was hard to do so. However, it was sort of easy and sort of hard for me at first.  

WBL Workshop #2

         In today workshops we learned about our career DNA. DNA stands for Dynamic Natural Abilities. Another way we say it is Holland Interest Code. It tells us whether we are Realsitic, Social, Artistic, Conventional, Investigators, or/and Enterprising. In the packet Ms.Lopez gave to us inside the packet it has many ways to help you indicate what your personalities or DNA is. My Holland Interest Code is RSA. Which is Realistic, Social, and Artisitic. I am realistic because in the packet page 10 it helps me indicate what's my Holland Interest Code is. I like to be active most of the time, often athletic like riding bikes and playing basketball outside with my friends. I also enjoy working with tools and equipment. I am also Social because I like to help people who I can be able to help. I like to help because my grandma and my parents are old and I want them to be resting. I also know each person in the world is precious to at least one person in their heart and mind. Whenever I

Are you an expert in DNS?

1. Why does the internet use IP address?     - The internet uses IP address because the internet needs to identify who to send to and which device. 2.  Why don't we need to know IP address?   - We don't need to know IP address because you can see the domain name without knowing the Ip address. Also, its a combination of numbers which everyone can't remember. 3. Why do we need a domain name system?   - We need a domain name system because it gives the name to the IP address. In addition, without the domain name systems the websites would be hard to find. 4. Why don't we all maintain our own DNS?    -We don't all maintain our own DNS because it would have many ways to find websites or webpages which makes it a bit hard. 5. Is there one big DNS for the entire Internet?    -I don't think that there is one big DNS for the entire Internet because if there was one big DNS it would take so long to process the information and find what the user wants. 6.  How
