...consists of multiple choices, optical scanner is the best choice. The keyboard typing or uploading the scanned version of written paper is suitable for theoretical a paper which requires description about the topic. •Telephone survey – Automated computer system to capture the details of survey is best option as it reduces the margin of human error related to typo, grammatical mistake etc. if the instructions are clearly explained to participants. Otherwise, if it is abstruse paper which needs the presence of subject matter expert, human interaction is essential where responses can be recorded into the system. •Bank checks – Automated scanners of bank checks provide the optimal choice of getting the information in efficient manner to reduce the human errors. Still manual check is required to verify the correctness of details whether system has uploaded the exact description mentioned in checks without losing some details due to customer’s error or misinformation. •Retail tags – RFID for International bar code is best method of input in the case of identifying the information embedded in retail tags. It can be problematic in the case when wrong bar code is attached to the item. But it can be rectified easily by attentiveness of sales person or customer. Still if there is lack of RFID process, then human intervention is possible choice for recording the details. •Long documents – Automatic uploading process of scanned version of long document is most suitable choice if paper format...

...Web or Mobile Applications- Google Drive Jonie Bonfield IT/205 Saturday, July 26, 2014 Karen Diggs Web or Mobile Applications-GOOGLE DRIVE Google.com is not only a top search engine on its own, but the majority of Google’s web applications are highly ranked as well. Google’s mission statement says a lot about what it offers- “Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” This is not surprising, as on a regular basis we can find information on how other Google web applications- Google Forms, Google Drive, Google Docs, and Google Calendar have been groundbreaking for millions. For the sake of this assignment, Google Drive is the main subject of this paper. We can go into any office building throughout the world and find numerous technology devices and tools used to save and share information between other people and computers. These devices and tools can include USB flash drives, portable harddrives, memory sticks, data CDs, etc. However, all of these are disposable. Meaning they can be ruined, destroyed, erased, and stolen. How is that a benefit to our work environment? So say we saved an incredibly important research project on a USB drive, a couple of USB drives actually, just in case. What are our options if those USB drives were to disappear or get ruined somehow? How could, as they say, “the show go on”? Seriously, what are the options for us to present those barrier breaking research results to the major...

...simplify many of our work routines. With the growth and population of the computer, it was natural for the automation of training to follow. Many trainers began to look for ways to automate training, and ways to move traditional training to the computer. This was the dawn of electronic learning, more commonly referred to as e-learning. With the invention and explosion of the Internet and web browsers, many organizations and trainers have taken and are taking advantage of technology. Accessing training via the Internet is called online learning. Even though there is a difference between e-learning and online learning, most people think of online learning as any learning that involves a computer, whether the Internet is involved or not. For the sake of this paper, online learning refers to all types of interactive training that uses the Internet. As online training has evolved, organizations and trainers have come to learn that there are many similarities and differences when compared to face-to-face or formal training. Organizations and trainers have learned that most, if not all, of the content delivered in a face-to-face training can be delivered in an online training. In order to achieve success with online training, trainers should fully understand what online training and face-to-face trainings are and the differences between the two. Trainers should also know the differences in online training preparation compared to face-to-face training preparation. Lastly, trainers should know...

...Collaboration and Innovation at Proctor and Gamble: Case Study Angel J Robles January 26th, 2012 Abstract Is it possible for a company to optimize collaboration in order to maximize innovation in today’s day and age? Proctor and Gamble has shown that it is not only possible but profitable as well. Through the years we have seen countless corporations come and go.

Proctor and Gamble saw a problem in their company’s collaboration techniques and went about attempting to fix it. They were not only successful in achieving this but their potential for innovation was able increase through the rapid sharing of opinions, ideas and discoveries. We will see how this was accomplished in the following. We will examine the Proctor and Gamble case study and see the problems and corrective actions that were made by the company to resolve these issues then break down the problem solving and decision making process which they incorporated.

In this scenario a user would require access to update information from files in the home directories on a server or customer records from a database. This type of access and work load generated by such users is different from the traditional workloads seen in client-server system of today CONSIDERATION • Mobile users must be able to work without a network connection due to poor or non existent connections. A cache could be maintained to hold recently accessed data and transactions so that they are not lost due to connection failure. Users might not require access to truly live data, only recently modified data, and uploading of changing might be deferred until reconnected • Bandwidth must be conserved (a common requirement on wireless networks that charge per megabyte or data transferred) • Mobile computing devices tend to have slower CPU and limited battery life • Users with multiple device (eg. Smartphone and tablet) need to synchronize their devices to a centralized data store. This may require application specific automaton features This is in database theory known as replication and good mobile database system should provide tools for automatic replication that takes into account that others may have modified the same data as you while you were away, and not just the last update is kept, but also supports...

...Introduction: Flash of Facts Only those living under a rock will be wondering what ‘selfie’ means. It is essentially a photograph of oneself taken by them self. It’s a simple trend that has infiltrated almost every corner of the social media world: people are holding their smart phone out at arm’s length, making a variety of faces—from the classic smile or serious face, to the more comedic duck face or sticking out one’s tongue– snapping a photo and then uploading it to social media profiles like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. In November 2013, the word "selfie" was announced as being the "word of the year" by the Oxford English Dictionary. The appeal of selfies comes from how simple they are to create and share, and the control they give self-photographers over how they present themselves. So what is the hue and cry about this apparently harmless activity of clicking one’s own pictures? This is where an ancient Greek mythology helps us in understanding the etymology of the word ‘narcissist’ and the psychological state of a narcissist. It centres on a very handsome young man called Narcissus. So attractive was this man that all the girls fell in love with him. He was aware of his charms and this made him arrogant and proud. Despite the efforts of the ladies to win his affections he ignored their overtures. One day as Narcissus was walking through the forest he stumbled upon a clear pool of water. As he knelt to drink - for he was very thirsty- the loveliest sight that...

...Intellectual Property 12/05/12 Music Piracy in the US Counterfeit, piracy, bootleg, or stealing, these are some of the many terms associated with the unauthorized dissemination and distribution of copyrighted music. For over five decades, the music industry in the United States has had to grapple with the effects of such activity. The Copyright Act of 1909 was the first granting exclusive rights to copyrighted music. The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works was created in 1886 and governs international copyrights. As technology evolved, the music industry was altered in profound ways. Globalization has created a smaller world where information and goods are shared at a pace faster than ever before. With this vast advancement in technology, the way society accesses and purchases music has created a whirlwind of problems for the music industry. New innovations have pitted a war between the new generation and the music industry; each blaming the other for the ills created. There have been many debates in the legal arena as to just what is “legal” when it comes to modern digitalized music. Where are the lines drawn? Can there be compromise, or must the music industry engage in a complete overhaul and settle for fewer profits? The answer is as varied as the very music that is at the center of debate. If one were to look back at the history of music players, we would end in 1877. It was that year that Thomas Edison first invented the Phonograph...

...Section-1 INTRODUCTION Background of the study (Credibility in Wikipedia) A selfie is a type of self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. Selfies are often associated with social networking, like Instagram. They are often casual, are typically taken either with a camera held at arm's length or in a mirror, and typically include either only the photographer or the photographer and as many people as can be in focus. Selfies taken that involve multiple people are known as "group selfies" or "ussies". Robert Cornelius, an American pioneer in photography, produced a daguerreotype of himself in 1839 which is also one of the first photographs of a person. The concept of uploading group self-taken photographs (now known as super selfies) to the internet, although with a disposable camera not a smartphone, dates to a webpage created by Australians in September 2001, including photos taken in the late 1990s (captured by the Internet Archive in April 2004). The earliest usage of the word selfie can be traced as far back as 2002. It first appeared in an Australian internet forum (ABC Online) on 13 September 2002. Um, drunk at a mates 21st, I tripped ofer [sic] and landed lip first (with front teeth coming a very close second) on a set of steps. I had a hole about 1cm long right through my bottom lip. And sorry about the focus, it was a selfie. The term "selfie" was discussed by photographer Jim Krause in 2005, although photos in the...

...Cloud Computing and Information Security Krystal Hagi Daytona State College Student Khagi1@yahoo.com Abstract In order to discuss the security of information in cloud computing, we must first cover what is Cloud Computing. There are many types of cloud computing services, such as, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, public clouds, private clouds, and hybrid clouds Examples. They all work similarly but have not only different tools, but varying levels of security for various needs. These differing types of clouds and networks as a service offer off site data storage in a secured location, which in essence frees up space and virtual infrastructure for personal and/or business networks, and devices. There are advantages and disadvantages to cloud computing, just like any other product or service. The advantages being, storage for data, accessibility from virtually anywhere there is a network connection, automated management, security, apps, tools, etc. The disadvantages include monthly costs for space on the offsite network, security, involvement of a third party, no access to the physical structure - which means if the cloud server goes down, your data may not be accessible, etc. There is one instance with cloud computing that is both an advantage and a disadvantage, and that is the security. While a cloud may be more secure than your own network How?, personal or business, using cloud services puts the security out of your hands in both the physical and logical sense. Using a cloud, means the...
