Week 14: Summary Blog Posting

So yep! How could I not do a summary/reflection of COM 125 before saying goodbye right? haha!

It is my first time doing blog entries for a school module even though I blog on a frequent basis and own like 6 other blogs but!! its because I don't bear to delete them when I move to a new site etc etc HAHAHA.

I am actually quite glad that Mr. Choy made us create a blog to write down our reflections. I like that this blog made me do some research on the respective topics and I can say that I managed to gain some takeaways which I believed will benefit me in the future. It is always better to have excess knowledge than lack of knowledge.

I have seen how the ARPANET has evolved so much till now, a widely utilized and influential tool that have the ability to achieve great things in the future and if not handled properly, our laptop or phone might fall into virus attack that we would never ever dream of getting such as ILOVEYOU or MyDoom etc. The prevalence of social media, as we all know, is taking Internet by storm. We are constantly on the go, updating photos, status of the happenings in our lives that sometimes we might fail to look at the big picture - neglecting the quality time that is supposed to spend with our loved ones, not forgetting the benefits of social media where existing business and new business in e-commerce are jumping on the bandwagon and advertise their services x products. Politicians campaigns , education (e-learning) , citizen journalism, virtual/augmented reality also involves Internet!

What's not to love about the Internet of today?

Ps: Thank you Mr. Choy for sharing your knowledge with us and always trying to make every Com 125 lessons interesting with group activities and lame jokes that you crack, even though its lame but quite funny sometimes. Not forgetting the frequent sharing of videos during lessons. I particularly quite enjoy the show & tell segment as it gave me an eye opener on the apps that are actually available out there in the market and other tips that my classmates shared :) It has been a pleasure meeting you! 

Goodbye!

Week 13: Future of Internet

I am so curious, what will the future of the internet holds? Technology is advancing every day, I guess we won't have to wait THAT LONG to witness how Internet HOPEFULLY CAN carry out things for us in every aspect. Like opening our doors automatically when we just stand there, unlocking our car and many more. You name it, you got it hahahaha.

Shall not bore you with truckloads of words in this entry and check out this video which shows 5 inventions that have the potential to change the current world :)

Really hope that I would be able to witness and experience at least one of the inventions! My favourite is  HYPERLOOP -  a transportation network of above-ground tubes that would span hundreds of miles. Like the one below!

 

What's your favourite invention?
