Erik Hanberg

On November 23. 2009, we had a guest speaker name Erik Hanberg. I really like the guest speaker because he was very prepared with things he wanted to talk about whatever things he do. He was even prepared with powerpoint name "Living and working in the Virtual World: with an emphasis on the Working Part". He start talking about the two kinds of work, and scalable work. The two kinds of work are hourly, and salary. These two kinds of work deals with most jobs, wages are crapped by hour available, and other people with the same job earn similar amounts. He actually focused more on scalable work. He asked what kinds of scalable work is out there because scalable work has few kinds of jobs, there are almost no limits, pay can be "spike" and pay varies widely between individuals. Later on, he also talked about the "black swan", and he made funny comments about how he wrote 9 novels and J.K. Rowling wrote 7 novels, but only one of them is a billionaire. I really liked how he was very organized/prepared, and very inspiring. I am very appreciate his visit and hopefully he will be success with his job/career.

Scavenger Hunt

In last class, we had a group online scavenger hunt assignment. This assignment was to collect as many items that are on the internet by searching the key points. When I saw this assignment, I thought I would be able to find all these information on Google. However, it was little difficult to look for right information because I had to type out specific keywords that are similar to what I am looking for. My group had to split the work because we only had two laptops. We also did not have that much of time, but we found many informations. 


In addition, this assignment was very interesting because without the internet "GOOGLE", I do not think I can ever find this informations and it will take so much time to just look for one answer. Nowadays, I do not think people can live without using internet.

Scavenger Hunt

my team divided the work and we got 1-4, and 10-17.

Convergence

Convergence:

*Convergence (telecommunications): the combination of multiple services through lines of telecommunication from a single provider.

*Convergence (routing protocol): The updating of routers’ topography information using dynamic protocols.

*Convergence (evolutionary computing): A means of modeling the tendency for genetic characteristics of populations to stabilize over time.

*Technological convergence: A trend where some technologies having distinct functionalities evolve to technologies that overlaps.

When I try to look up term Convergence, there were a lot of different meanings. However, I remember we talked about the telecommunication about convergence during class on Monday. So, I looked up more detail on telecommunications convergence. Telecommunications convergence is concept dating back to AT&T in 1928 but has evolved in the 21^st century to dominate the market positioning of telecoms operators. Convergence can also refer to separate technologies such as voice, data, and video that now share resources and interact with other.

Today, I think we are surrounded by a multiple ways of convergent media world where all modes of communication and information are continually reforming to adapt to the enduring demands of technologies.

Online document vs. Physical document

Document is a written or printed-paper furnishing information or evidence, and its legal or official paper. However, even though documents are all same, there is a difference between online document and physical document.

Online document do not really have publisher name because since anyone can network and publish, it is hard to keep track who wrote what.  Sometimes, the information that is online is false information because it does not really tell where they got the information or references. When people upload some documents online, it does not hold the document for longtime because somehow the website can be gone/deleted/ or erase. On the other hand, people can update faster without paying any money to publish online and provide documents.

Physical document shows the author, and publisher name(s). Since the document is printed, the information is accurate, and also has reference pages on the back. Physical document can have for longtime because it’s printed. On the other hand, it takes time to update, and it also cost money to print the documents out.

Vanity Search

I haven't done a vanity search in a long time. The last time I looked my own name was when I was in High School. When I use to have Xanga or Myspace, I forgot what I use for the URL name. I typed in Google to find out my website name and that was the last time I checked. Recently, I check my name on Google Search, I could not really find my name. I try everything possible. I try my middle name, where I live, what school I go to. However, my name is so common and even Google Images had different persons picture but same last time. It was interesting typing my own name to research. I do not really like to show my information to other people that I do not know. So it might be hard to look for my information on Google Search because I made my websites private.
