...Networking Technology Concepts Capella University Abstract The purpose of my paper is to explain the concepts of networking technology and what impact these concepts have in an organization. A number of these concepts embody, but are not restricted to, improved communication, enlarged productivity, and enhanced mobility. In addition, what part does network architecture play in developing network technology? In doing thus, I will be able to justify the aim and role that standard-setting organizations play in establishing network standards and identify two standards in network technology and outline their roles. Explain the importance of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and show how they contribute to the advancement of the network industry. Keywords: technology, ISO, networking, architecture, concepts Networking Technology Concepts The basic concepts of networking technology are to improve communication, increase efficiency, and enhanced mobility. In addition, network architecture falls in line with these concepts because architecture is the foundation or the framework to configure networks. Improve Communications Technology is important because it expands communications in the workplace. Employees are no longer limited to using regular landline phones, couriers or snail mail. Technology has evolved tremendously whereas, you are able to start communicating electronically using computers, smartphones and other forms of electronic devices from...

...CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND A REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE Today’s technology is a challenging avenue for people to adapt a community of change and development. One of the widely introduced changes in the society is the existence of online social networking worldwide. According to Ron Jones’ definition of social networking as stated by Siapera (2012, it is essentially a category of online socializing where people are talking, participating, sharing, networking, and bookmarking online. Everything now looks great when one creates a profile within a particular site and starts to get involved in this type of virtual communication. Needless to say, social networking sites have drastically altered people’s means of communication especially among youth. Socializing becomes colossal because of the tools that help people to mingle and communicate with others such as instant messaging, e-mail and comment posting in particular to online social networking. This trend is growing. Nowadays, people, especially teenagers are highly interested in this kind of communication either as a form of socialization or as a means of self-expression. With just a click away, one can have the opportunity to connect with millions of users across the world. These only show that online users are really into a society of popular social networking and spending too much time for this does not also exempt the possibilities of acquiring the effects of it to the communication skills of youth particularly the students...

...Branding and marketing are important concepts for any business. This case study will explore the Cisco marketing case study in the Kotler and Keller, 2012 Marketing Management textbook. First off, the study will explore the differences between building a brand in a business to business context versus building a brand in a consumer market. Furthermore, the study will also explore if Cisco's plan to reach out to consumers is a viable one. First off, branding in a business to business application has some notable differences over the consumer market. Cisco had to utilize some ingenious methods of branding during the marketing of its routing and networking products. Cisco's original product line was made for sale to other businesses for use in the internet connectivity market. For Cisco to develop their brand, they had to develop a totally different approach than ones utilized in the consumer market. They had to specificity market their product to the companies who were operating data centers and server farms. In this type of industry, often good brands are developed by targeting specific types of consumers and in this case it was computer scientist and information technology experts. This can be accomplished in several ways. One method is essentially setting up sales meetings with potential information technology customers. Theses meetings can be utilized to get the brand name out there and possibly show off the superiority of the networking product. Additionally, targeted advertising...

...Hindered Castells Concept of a Network Society? Castells concept of a network society is an interpretation of a ‘new society’, one which has developed from the earlier information society. Within this interpretation, Castells states how society has shifted from ‘vertically organized, rational and structured activities to networking forms of activity’. These networking forms of activity provide greater flexibility and adaptability as networks have the ability to organize resources and activities whilst reacting to the environment, transforming themselves rather than clashing with other structures (Castells, 1996). Castells concept explores the social, political, economic and cultural impact of network technologies and the implications of networking activities. According to Castells, the network society has evolved through a growth in networks, induced by new technologies including microelectronics, digitally processed information and communications technology. These technologies represent a new dimension in society providing a modern infrastructure supporting emerging networks. Whilst Castells explains a growth in social networks, he recognizes that they are not a new form of social organization but a ‘key feature in social morphology’. Therefore, rather than describing existing social networks, the network society highlights the impact of networks which manage information using modern electronic technologies. The recent growth of technology and the internet has...

Social networking service From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article is about the type of service. For the concept of relationships between people, see Social network. For a list of services, see List of social networking websites. A social networking service is an online service, platform, or site that focuses on facilitating the building of social networks or social relations among people who, for example, share interests, activities, backgrounds, or real-life connections. A social network service consists of a representation of each user (often a profile), his/her social links, and a variety of additional services. Most social network services are web-based and provide means for users to interact over the Internet, such as e-mail and instant messaging. Online community services are sometimes considered as a social network service, though in a broader sense, social network service usually means an individual-centered service whereas online community services are group-centered. Social networking sites allow users to share ideas, activities, events, and interests within their individual networks. The main types of social networking services are those that contain category places (such as former school year or classmates), means to connect with friends (usually with self-description pages), and a recommendation system linked to trust. Popular methods now combine...
