...[7] The Web we know now, which loads into a browser window in essentially static screenfuls, is only an embryo of the Web to come. The first glimmerings of Web 2.0 are beginning to appear, and we are just starting to see how that embryo might develop. The Web will be understood not as screenfuls of text and graphics but as a transport mechanism, the ether through which interactivity happens. It will [...] appear on your computer screen, [...] on your TV set [...] your car dashboard [...] your cell phone [...] hand-held game machines [...] maybe even your microwave oven. Writing when Palm Inc. was introducing its first web-capable personal digital assistant, supporting web access with WAP, DiNucci saw the web "fragmenting" into a future that extended far beyond the browser/PC combination it was identified with. Her vision of the web's future focused on how the basic information structure and hyperlinking mechanism introduced by HTTP would be used by a variety of devices and platforms. As such, her use of the "2.0" designation refers to a next version of the web that does not directly relate to the term's current use. The term Web 2.0 did not resurface until 2002.[8][9][10][11] These authors focus on the concepts currently associated with the term where, as Scott Dietzen puts it, "the Web becomes a universal, standards-based integration platform".[10] John Robb wrote: "What is Web 2.0? It is a system that breaks with the old model of centralized Web sites and moves the power...

...One of the closures in the book is at page (52), Ahmadi was the one that has been cut into pieces. Although it is all by Marji's imagination, but we can able to predict what is going to happen when they get arrested, this scene helped Marji to create a sense of fear of the unknown ending for those people who get caught. “The Letter” is the fifth chapter in this graphic novel Persepolis. This chapter is really important for the story because it is about the differences between the social classes in Iran. Mehri's family was living in a really low social class and with fifteen children to feed, under the pressure of living they had to give away eight years old Mehri as a maid. After two years Marji was born, they almost did everything together and the social class was irrelevant to them. This chapter focuses mainly on the letters sent between Mehri and Hossein, the neighbour’s son. The case that Marji is writing letters for them relates to the idea of different social classes. Unlike Marji, the lower classes were unable to get well educated, they cannot even write a letter to express their feelings and they cannot fall in love with someone who is living in higher class because all people think that was wrong. Of course, Mehri and Hossein stopped contacting after Hossein knows that Mehri is not Marji’s sister, instead she is an actual maid. This fact brings up a confusion in Marji’s childhood, she could not understand why people must separate each classes specifically. ...

This network come with many data packages and you can use your phone for many things such as check your email IM, and tweet so cell phones are used for more than phone calls.

...UNIT 4 ASSIGNMENT 2 Verbal and Nonverbal Communication Ethics Statement People have the uncanny knack of communicating something even if they didn’t intend to do it. It’s the way that the way our body moves is able to tell the real story, sometimes though what we physically say is not re enforced by our body language. Most people who take the time to study your disposition enough are able to gather more information about you than if they just listened to you. I know I have to be careful that I’m not meaning one thing but say another. What people hear and what is actually said is sometimes very different. If we’re not careful we can all have unethical behavior that demeans others. For example, if you speak in a patronizing vocal tone, if you scream at the less powerful, or if you touch people inappropriately, you are engaging in unethical nonverbal communication. Similarly, if you respond to others' communication in a way that misrepresents how you actually feel, you are being unethical. Thus if you laugh at a racist joke even though you dislike it, your behavior is unethical both because it degrades others, and because it misrepresents your true reaction to the joke. Nonverbal behaviors reflect your real attitudes, beliefs, and feelings. Without being aware of it we could be using our nonverbal behavior to intimidate, coerce, or even silence someone. Always try to remember that you are just as responsible for your nonverbal communication as you are for your verbal communication...

...Written Assinment #2-Theme THEA 1013-X01 Summer 6/01/2011 Sunset Boulevard, a musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, performed Sunday February 13, 2011 At the Signature Theatre in Arlington, VA. Theme: The is the desire to be a famous celebrity or to prove that you don't have to go that far to show love, care, and devotion, which is clearly evident in the attention the maniacal Norma gets. I think this is the theme due to my interpretations from watching the play. The play is based around Norma Desmond and Joe Gillis. Norma is a onetime super star of the silent screen era. Norma is living in the past in her dilapidated mansion on the Los Angeles street. When washed Joe a washed up, down on his luck screenwriter accidentally crosses her path, she sees in him an opportunity to make her comeback to the big screen. When Joe accidently meets her he comments, "You used to be in pictures — you used to be big," to which she retorts, "I am big ... it's the pictures that got small!" Norma courts Joe hoping to for a return to pictures, she eventually finds out that this is not to be due to Joes true love and she is being used. It all really goes wrong when Joe leaves his true love Betty because he enjoys the lavish life style Norma allows him. Joe eventually comes to his senses and attempts to leave Norma to go home. He tells Norma that her movie will never be filmed and that her fans have all but abandoned her. Angry and grief-stricken partially because...
