...Jonze’s film “Her” explores the romantic relationship between Samantha, a computer program, and Theodore Twombly, a human being. Though Samantha is not human, she feels the pangs of heartbreak, intermittently longs for a body and is bewildered by her own evolution. She has a rich inner life, complete with experiences and sensations. “Her” raises two questions that have long preoccupied philosophers. Are non -biological creatures like Samantha capable of consciousness — at least in theory, if not yet in practice? And if so, does that mean that we humans might one day be able to upload our own minds to computers, perhaps to join Samantha in being untethered from “a body that’s inevitably going to die”?...

...Introduction In the timeline of mobile phone technology, 3G technology will always be tied to the introduction of the smart-phone; but as our mobile phones evolve so does our technology. Our society is a demanding one and for the technologically savvy those demands are in the form of mobility, connectivity and faster mobile technology. 1. Compare and Contrast 3G Wireless Networks to 4G Networks in terms of : Service and Applications In today’s services and applications, the 3G wireless networks offer CDMA2000, UMTS, and EDGE plus other technologies in the list, while 4G networks offer Wimax2, LTE-Advance and HSPA+. Both of 3G and 4G are standards for mobile communications, primarily the 3G networks are designed for voice communications while the 4G networks are designed especially for data transmission rather than voice and it offers faster access to data in mobile phones. For example, 3G is a preferred for mobile phone games, especially those which contain graphics and animation, but for streaming videos, the 4G works better with less stuttering and a higher resolution. Similarly, video conferencing, IP telephony and even 3D television work better with faster data transmission offered by 4G. Network Architecture Essentially, the 3G network is defined as Wide Area Cell Based network with a circuit switched fall-back which it relies on large satellite connections allow connection to many different telecommunication towers.

...aspects to the 3G and the 4G network that allow them to be similar in some ways and in different in other. The 3G network service and application offer higher speed that allows users to transfer data at a much faster speed. The 3G network is able to do these things because the network uses software such as CDMA 2000. The CDMA 2000 allow multipath to send signals that arrive in different time delays. Also being used is UMTS is responsible for dealing with high traffic data. This allows users to be able to use a large amount of data without having to deal with loss of connection and spend time waiting for the device finish buffering. The 4G network is a little different, this network uses Wimax2. Wimax2 is able to deliver download speeds up to 120Mbps; it can also upload material at speeds up to 60Mbps. The 3G network uses LTE but the 4G network uses LTE-Advanced. The LTE-Advanced can aggregate up to five carriers, which is equivalent to 100 MHz (Svensson, 2010). By doing this it allows the network to increase the data rates for all users and also to increase the capacity of different...

...Purpose The use of the internet to download and share music files is a very controversial issue. This topic is especially of interest to me because I download music quite frequently. To get a better look at how frequently students do this, and whether or not they feel it is ethical. I decided to conduct a survey. Other questions dealt with alternative options to downloading music and the legal action that ensues doing so. Method I decided to conduct a survey. I conducted a ten question survey of fifty Anderson University students. Distributed to friends and members of the track team, the survey was very straightforward and short. The students I surveyed a wide range of students, both men and women, and from freshmen to seniors. I handed the survey to people I knew and asked them to fill it out and return it back to me. Many of the surveys I handed out were not returned only got back seventeen of the fifty I handed out. Analysis After conducting the survey, I came to the expected conclusion that the majority of students download music regularly. All but one of the students surveyed stated that they download music off a P2P (people to people) file-sharing program. Several people also, however, admitted that they felt that the piracy of music online is unethical. These were people who also said that they download music regularly. Their response as to why they continue to compromise their integrity was based on the fact that they did not feel that the record labels or the...

...personal information. With this in mind, it can be pretty scary. Your username and passwords, the very things that is supposed to keep you safe, is betraying you. So how do you even get a key logger? You can acquire a key logger in many different ways. The easiest way to get one without knowing, which I call the old fashioned way, is to have someone install it without you knowing. I refer to it as old fashioned because with how advanced technology has come in this day and age, the next way to get them is by unknowingly downloading it. With the old fashioned way a person you know installs it themselves, hiding it within your computer. With downloading it could be hidden with an attachment of some “free” program or game you decided to download. So if that’s what they are, and how you get them, then how do they work? Key loggers work in many...

...Google is making a move from traditional to conventional, from outdated to updated. In the seminar room, you will be given a brief explanation on how google is trying to help schools take on a fresh new way in delivering education to the new generation. First of all you will be introduced to the Chromebooks/tablets, and later on the google education apps used in these Chrombooks/tablets. After the session is over, you can head over the to main hall and try out these devices for yourself hands-on. So first and foremost, what is a Chromebook? A Chromebook is a fast, cheap and portable laptop running Chrome OS as its operating system. The devices are primarily designed to be used while connected to the internet. Everything is performed on a browser, known as google chrome, and over the cloud. There are no programmes, everything is initiated through apps which you download through the app store on the browser, and then actions are performed through it. What you primarily need to use all these apps or so to speak, the laptop, is a google account. Why use chromebooks for classrooms? They are affordable, starting from $259, which all educational apps pre-installed. They are easy to manage, the chromebook boots up in less than 8 seconds, that’s less time than it takes to make a paper aeroplane! If they are in sleep mode, they resume working immediately. They are also perfect for sharing, a single device can be shared amongst students but still they can get a more personal experience...

...to a store and rent a movie to being able to have a movie delivered to your mailbox changed the way people think about media entertainment. The next shift will be having the technology to download movies and shows directly to a television. Analysis Blockbuster and Netflix are using two different information system strategies. Blockbuster, which is a traditional retail store with a physical location focused on creating a market niche. It used “an automated point-of-sale system” and was able to use “these data to monitor sales and to analyze the demographics, and rental and sales patterns for each store to improve its marketing decisions” (Laudon, 2007, p. 121). Netflix came onto the scene with a completely different strategy, product differentiation. Emphasizing convenience, they created a system to allow consumers to order movies sent to their customers homes and returned on the individual’s time schedule. Netflix was able to use mass customization and give consumers an individually tailored service without increasing the needed resources. Using the Business Value Chain Model, Netflix has used information technology on almost all of the primary activities including inbound logistics, operations, outbound logistics, and sales and marketing. The one primary activity that is trying to move away from the newest technology is the customer service department. “Netflix took an unusual step for a Web-based company: it eliminated e-mail-based customer service inquiries.

The first areas examined are service and applications. Third-generation (3G) networks consist of CDMA 2000, UMTS, WCDMA, and various others. Fourth-generation (4G) technologies include WiMAX, HSPA+21/42, and LTE, of which many consider LTE to be the only “true” 4G network (Segan, 2013). The introduction of 3G technologies heralded a wide range of possibilities to include the ability for user to wirelessly stream audio, video, visual calling and conferencing, and various mobile multimedia functions to include more streamlined E-mail and general web browsing, online banking, basic video games on demand, mobile TV, and location-based services (4Gon Solutions, 2012). 4G application offerings include four main categories: Localized/Personalized Information, Communications, Organizational, and Entertainment (M-Indya, 2012). Localized/Personalized Information applications will offer users the ability to browse various news outlets, more accurate and improved locational servicers, more enhance mobile commerce (i.e. mobile...

...necessity today. Many corporate environments require deployment of wireless networks on a large scale. Cisco has come up with the concept of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network (CUWN) solution, which helps make it easier to manage such large scale deployments. WLC is a device that assumes a central role in the CUWN. Traditional roles of access points, such as association or authentication of wireless clients, are done by the WLC. Access points, called Lightweight Access Points (LAPs) in the unified environment, register themselves with a WLC and tunnel all the management and data packets to the WLCs, which then switch the packets between wireless clients and the wired portion of the network. All the configurations are done on the WLC. LAPs download the entire configuration from WLCs and act as a wireless interface to the clients. For more information on how a LAP registers with a WLC, refer to the document Lightweight AP (LAP) Registration to a Wireless LAN Controller. Q. What is CAPWAP? A. In controller software release 5.2 or later, Cisco lightweight access points use the IETF standard Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points protocol (CAPWAP) in order to communicate between the controller and other lightweight access points on the network. Controller software releases prior to 5.2 use the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) for these communications. CAPWAP, which is based on LWAPP, is a standard, interoperable protocol that enables a controller to manage a collection...
