College & Career Fair

-
On November 13, 2017, my class and I attended a career and college fair in our school. We had many professionals from different colleges and universities. We also had representatives from the Navy, U.S. Army, and the Marines. We saw many different colleges from Hunter, John Jay, Oswego, etc. My class and I were required to dress business casual in order to look professional for this fair. We learned about what colleges offer what career path. that you want to pursue in. We also learned about different scholarships some colleges offer as well. Each college that I was interested in, had a course for graphic design which is what I want to pursue my career in. Overall it was a great experience for learning about colleges and universities about their campus, and what they offer from courses and scholarships and their requirements to get in.

Blown to Bits: Chapter 2, 5, 7, 8 Summary

Chapter 2 The second chapter of Blown to Bits, entitled  Naked in the Sunlight  brings forth the alarming fact that in a world of bits, none of one’s information can be protected.    The author opens up the chapter with a comparison to George Orwell’s novel  1984 , where the characters are always being watched by a government force called Big Brother.    In the novel, the ruling party has complete surveillance over all the people, and the author compares this to modern day London.    The author cites the Subway bombers of 2005 to prove his point.    During the time of the bombings, London was under heightened security, and by using the footage from surveillance cameras, they had no problem getting images of the bombers and their trip before detonating the bombs.    Finally the author draws the conclusion that “1984 is here, and we like it”. Chapter 5 In chapter five of Blown to Bits, the author explores the complex wor...

Blown To Bits: Chapter 3-Ghosts in the Machine

In chapter 3 of "Blown to Bits",  pages 91-92 discuss how certain objects were used before, and differentiates on how it's used and changed in today's society. One example that the chapter mentions is how music used to be stored on a compact disk known as a CD, but it's changed now in the present.In the chapter it says, " At the time the CD format was adopted as a standard, decompression circuitry for CD players would have been too costly for use in homes and automobiles, so music could not be recorded in compressed form. The magic of Apple’s iPod is not just the huge capacity and tiny physical size of its disk, it is the power of the processing chip that renders the stored model as music.  The birth of new technologies presage the death of old technologies. Digital cameras killed the silver halide film industry; analog television sets will soon be gone; phonograph records gave way to cassette tapes, which in turn gave way to compact disks, which are themselv...

1)Why does the internet use IP addresses?              - The internet uses IP addresses in order to identify which website is which, and who it belongs to. 2)Why don't we need to know IP addresses?             - Because sometimes, one IP address stays the same for one website, and it never changes. Henceforth IP address stay the same as it originally was for some websites, but not all. 3)Why do we need a Domain Name System?             - Because we need to know certain tags for websites, when they cant be accessed by how they originally are. 4)Why don't we all maintain our own DNS?             - Because having our own DNS isn't always necessary or needed all the time. 5)Is there one big DNS for the entire internet?             - In my opinion, I don't think so because, the internet is just to big of a source for it to hav...
