Technology in our LIFE: Reasons and Influences

There are Reasons WHY We use technology:


Technology is always part of our households and is always connected with our life's necessities. For technology are invented to help us in terms of:
1. making our life easier
2. Entertainment
3. lessen heavy work loads
4. fasten our work / work accuracy
5. trend

The Influenced of technology in our LIFE:

Humans used technology since before time of Christ. Technology is a fast process which reflect the progress and development of inventions and engineering. Technology influenced us because it is part of our daily life and will always be part of it. technology influenced one's self in terms of: Character, lifestyle, social development, and its race. Technology is fast changing because of the global change also.

Technology change as our necessity for it change. It change because of the trends around it that it need to evolve from its current development to another development to cope with the trend humans are engaged into. But sometimes technology can be the one that could make us dependable to. Somehow, it make our chores easier and fast but because of that we became more dependable to them. Though technology is around us, we always depend to our self and the things that we can do with or without it in our hands.

We should take control of the technology around us and make sure that we can benefit from it. Not only us but specially our grandchildren in the coming generations. Let's make our world GREEN and at least CLEAN! :]


Assignment 1: November 28, 2008

How did we get here?

The reflection:

How do I get here? a question that i had difficult time to answer in deep confusion. Well, I get here in my present condition and situation because i chose to be here and accept all the things that happen to me in the first place.

After all the trials i Get into and all the trials that would come, I think of myself as a woman of little maturity in me. A mother and student at the same time, TIME management is really the big thing to manage about. School is a hassle that should be taken in schedule and home is a place where my time should be divided into my child, to his father and to the chores a mother should do.

I became a little unprofessional and quite in tardiness because of the unevitable things and situations that come in my way. It is really difficult for me to be a mother and student at time but I am really trying and doing my very best and effort to do the job without dropping either of them.

I hope i can do more and the best to both! May The One help me in everything...

Update in need

About my research

The gantt chart: my research time frame should now be strictly followed in terms of consultations and updates. and anything that happen on the progress of my research.

The Paper: my research in on the process of drafting the research instrument which is the survey questionnnaire. I have draft it but I am quite in doubt about its content. So I really and badly needed someone to help me in terms of suggestions and corrections about the content. And yet that someone is not yet found.

The Collaborators: Well, i am still searching for them. I have chosen an adviser but i haven't received any feedback form her since i send her my Request letter. I came to her table but my letter is unfounded. I think its was threw to garbage. then if that's the case, I have to look for another one, I think...
I dont have validators of my research instrument. I dont know who to approach to be my validator... i am in deep confusion right now... huhuhu

The other things: Well, Last Sat is our class reporting sked and we received a sermon from our professor... he has the right to do so, I think... WE prepared like turtles in the preparations for our class reporting. We were very sorry during that time... tsk! tsk!

The fellow researchers: I dont know their progress in their research but Good Luck to them and to all of us!

The Professor: He would be strictly considerate from now on so I should better watch out!

God bless us all!

Historicizing Cyberspace

What is Cyberspace?

All I know about cyberspace is a connection and collaboaration between humans and computers. This is a space of information humans have stored to share, connect and collaborate to other humans in a network... that is what i think.

But according on my reference,"Cyberspace is a term used to describe a new kind of "space" that has been made possible by the Internet.[1]" Yes, a space where people can be connected and gather information about something they wanted to look for. Possible connection made by the internet like what we used to see nowadays.

another is the term cyberspace gained notice after William Gibson's use of it in his science fiction novel Neuromancer (1984). "The portion of Neuromancer cited in this respect is usually the following:
Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts... A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding".[2] The meaning is just a representation of data banked in a computer in the computer systems connected in network. That would be, i think...

THe History

The cyberspace history began in the Cold War days of Eisenhower adminmistration in the USA with the Russian. To respond to the technology launched by the Russian - Sputnik, US created Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA) in 1958. the following are the person engaged to ARPA with the idea of making a connection between computer systems:
•J.C.R. Licklider – relationship between computers & humans
•Robert Taylor – idea of networking multiple computer systems

Taylor's idea was approved by the ARPA and sooner call for help with Larry Roberts – computer scientist (long distance computer networking) to make his idea possible. The latter came to ARPA in 1967, and ARPANet connection came together in 1969.

When the ARPANet is on air, one of biggest discoveries during the time was when Ray Tomlinson used @ symbol to delemit the domain name in an e-mail address. He was the first person to send E-mail. The major problem with ARPANet is in 1973, when it has encountered heavy internet traffic. Vinton Cerf & Bob Khan developed Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to face the problem.With this new transmission protocol, the Internet continued to grow until today.

Many have engaged to internet since then, even the white house. E-mail is one of the hottest applications use in the Neteven today. File attachment such as multimedia files can now be attached when making e-mails. the Mostly used E-mail applications are: MS Inbox, MS Outlook or MS Outlook Express and Netscape Mail or Netscape Messenger.

The Web is nothing but exciting! It can generates lots of money and when lots of money come - excitement then follows. Nowadays, the Web is even more convenient and user-friendly. there are emergence of web portals such as Yahoo!, Excite, Lycos, Infoseek, etc.

In the future, the internet could be converge to other applicaitons such as televisions, news, etc. like intercasting for example. Intercasting combines the interactive nature of the Web with television programming. Users can use the Internet to access information that complements a participating television program.

So, let us see what excitement the internet and the web could do for us in the future or as sooner as possible!

THIS IS IT!

THe Core of the research is coming near...and is already here...

WEll, I am very much in the depth of my thinking what to do with the implementation of my study. I am choosing who would be my research collaborators. I am looking for persons to validate my research instrument before it would be preesented to the forum for approval to distribute. Well, now I am looking after my research adviser. I already chose one but I do not know if she would permit herself to be my adviser... hahay... I hope she will...

Future technology:

Another expensive subject. hehehe!

VEry much! Anyways, I did a gantt chart for the two subject, yet the gantt chart is in total disaster and there are tasks to be corrected. hahay....

I did another one and I will passed it on Monday. I hope this time, it is correct and very much OK to sir gambs... hehe

Another Burden?

I am back in the track!

I missed this task of typing my ideas and posting it in my blog corner. we'll now I am back! Not only me but all of the students enrolled under the subject Elective 2. We are required to continue the implementation of our research proposal in the subject CS Research Method we enrolled last semester.

Another expensive subject...but it is required yet we are obliged to accomplished what we had started. And since the classes in the university has started, it is also the time to begin the study... and this time surely we should follow what we had indicate in the gantt chart.

hahay... go! go! go!

To my blog, i missed you! hahaha! you will be updated from now on... :]

God bless to me and to my fella researcher!

to treat or to trick?

I want to congratulate all researchers under our cs research method subject! our handwork already bear fruitful success... but don't celebrate too much because another challenge will come on hand.... the continuation of our research proposal will be coming SOON...

thus, in regard with the incoming paperwork trials, let us not be disturbed. let us enjoy the remaining time to enjoy and live our lives to its fullest! our future is in our hands! let's be optimistic and persevere!
