Task 1 Error messages Error messages occur when the internet alert system providers have to inform uses of an error that has already occurred. These error messages usually shown in a dialogue box but they can also be shown in the form of a notification or a bubble or a balloon. Minor errors may be displayed in a status bar, a small portion of an application's window that can display brief messages to the user. An example of a error message is shown below; If you save a document with a unrecognised name then you will get message asking you to save it with a valid name. Task 2 Undelivered emails Just like an invalid document name if you do not send an email to a correct email address then you will get an email from Microsoft informing you that your email is not sent so you must always ensure that you have entered a valid email address. There can be other reasons why emails are not delivered for example the hardware or software problems with the email server may have prevented email delivery or the email address may no longer be valid.

...Amazon as a business has come a very significant way since 1994 when it was first founded as Cadabra, then a year later changing the name to Amazon. The reason the company was started was to first enter the rapidly expanding internet market as Amazon.com. Whilst the concept of the business could very easily be copied, many other businesses have been copied and continued to grow massively and be very profitable, such as McDonalds. The first products to be sold on Amazon were mostly limited to books. A clever market strategy, offering these books in many countries via the internet. Books themselves come in millions of forms and were popular with millions more, this was successful and led to rapid growth. The internet allowed Amazon in just two months to sell across the US as well as 45 other countries, there was a huge market to be worked with. In this 2 month period sales were up to $20,000 a week. From this it is clear that there was a gap in the market which was easily exploited and led to rapid growth on a scale not predicted by founder Jeff Bezos. Some businesses struggle to make $20,000 per annum on startup, let alone a week. The internet opened up a huge market for a hugely popular product which was always going to lead to success. At this stage casual use of the internet was very new and most people still went to stores to purchase books, for people with internet access and a computer they now did not need to and Amazon was one of the only, if not the only online...

...Looking for the music in John Cage’s “4.33” John Milton Cage born in 1915 is one of the best known experimental composers of our time. Cage began to create music that broke the boundaries of form and structure. He had a strong belief that every sound should be considered as a form of music. By combining his theories of invention with his compositional techniques he led music into the modern world. Many music critics have suggested that Cage was more of an inventor rather than a composer. Speaking on Cage, Arnold Schoenberg (1994) states “Of course he's not a composer, but he's an inventor -- of genius” (Perloff & Junkerman, P 157). Whether an inventor or composer, there is no denying that Cage’s composition “4.33” also known as “four and a half minutes of silence” has led to considerable controversy. It has also forced us to look closely at the definition of music. The 1952 piece, in which performer David Tudor sat at the piano for four minutes and thirty-three seconds marking off the time in three movements but did not play a single note, tested the idea that there is no such thing as silence. Cage (1988) claims that “Everything we do is music" and “try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.”(Kostelanetz, 1988, P69-70). I intend to examine “4.33” and determine whether it is possible for us to appreciate Cage’s ideology and hear the music in his favourite composition. Cage was heavily influenced by the eastern philosophy and it taught him to perceive music in a whole...

...BTEC business Studies 15 The impact of communications technology on business Business Unit 33 Andres Yunda How the internet works The internet is still in its younger age, and has barely any technology compared to its future designs. Each and every year, scientists and engineers find new technologies and languages to integrate into the internet. It is basically a global collection of networks, both big and small, which connect to each other in a variety of ways. To properly understand the internet, you need to look at some of the main components. One of which is hardware. Hardware is the name given to the whole process of terabytes of information being carried to the computer that stands right in front of you. It is the collection of physical elements that constitutes a computer system. Other types of hardware that support the internet include routers, servers, cell phone towers, satellites, radios, smart phones and many other devices. All these devices create the network of networks when put together. The internet is a malleable system, which basically means that it will take little effect when different elements join or leave worldwide networks. Internet as a network: The internet began in the year 1969, and only had 4 main servers (host computer systems). Now, it has over ten million users and servers. Every computer that is connected to the internet forms part of a network. For example, your computer may use dial up or a modem in order to have internet connection...
