Video boom threatens to gridlock the internet - 0 views

  •  
    In this article the stakeholders are worried about the internet connectivity. Since many people are using it today as we speak they are watching videos, tv shows, listening to music from the Internet, and many others and would be known as stakeholders. The issue here is the reliability of the hardware. In the article it states that the copper wires that were initially put for calling which only required voice. Now it has increased with much more and in order for the internet connectivity to increase there needs to be more of a solution than fiber optic cables since it was not planted in to the ground before. The IT systems that requiring so much internet speeds are computers, mobile devices, computers within the doctors office, and many other. For tele medicine to continue there needs to sufficient or reliable internet connectivity. For instance, say a doctor wanted to help out another doctor in India. For the doctor in America it wouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. If the hospital did not have its own secure internet then it would have taken a long time since other internet connectors are using it to download and upload video,stream live music, and much more. The point here is that for one to have accessibility in the internet connectivity there needs to be globalization. Globalization will help increase and satisfy almost everyone's needs.

    - In this article, "Data Security Is No Longer an Option," written by Eve Tahmincioglu is stating that the issues that concern Groogle. Groogle is a company which is a small online travel site that can supply the same to others from this site. (Scott Larsen, IT Director for the company, Groogle.) Jon Clay (product marketing manager for Trend Micro) will help get Tokyo based security software that will help this small business result in to a faster growing business. They will require a set of requirements that will be met by 95%. The upgrades made by the security measures have increased sales. Looking on from other companies, they have seen what is known as the virtual private network which sends encrypted data one location to the other without others looking at it. This is possible because of the firewalls and he spyware filtering programs that help keep out unknown individuals. At the end they came down to a decision that says they will upgrade to an intrusion detecting system that will cost around $25,000 to $125,000. Even though they will be enhancing their system there will be one problem which is the idea of making the computer adapt to the changes.

New Hospital Tagging System Should End Patient Mixups - 0 views

  •  
    At the NHS in England, hospitals are using these new "IT programme" telling them to start labeling their patients. In 2006 approximately 25,000 patients were saying that they they weren't given the right treatment. These were cases due to the misreading of the patient's tags, papers and other identification papers.(These misreadings were due to the legibility of the handwriting. Then the idea of barcodes and RFID were introduced this February by the UK healthcare manager, Roger Lamb who is now using this NHS 10 digit patient ID number and RFID tags which will modernize the NHS hospital in England. RFID's will be upon their wristband which will contain all their personal records (there will also be a photograph if the patient is unable to speak). This can only be accessed by the doctors from his/her PDA. 2.4_health 3.1_hardware: RFID and 10 digit barcodes 3.7_databases: that holds patient's records (Keep in mind this article was written in 2007.)

    Daniell's post was about the idea of how Facebook was ruining the study habits of growing teens. Some ideas that I learned from his post was how interactively Facebook was used throughout a day. I myself have a Facebook but do not use it as frequently as many of my other friends do. Doctors are also saying to get off of Facebook because it is very addicting some teens can do it but some cannot which concludes that Facebook cannot help you through your studies throughout school.(Not most of the time.)

How Do Teens Do Homework Today? - 2 views

  •  
    This relates to ITGS because the stakeholder her is a 17-year female who goes to high school in California and does her homework. However, when it comes to doing homework she gets distracted really quick and forgets. When she comes back she feels like she has so much homework until she finally she goes in to a room where she is isolated without technology which helps her complete concentrate and finish her tasks for school. This shows that home leisure comes in affect where technology at home which in this case is a computer and a phone directly links it to social networking and communication. If she was without a phone and a computer I am pretty sure it would less harder for her to get distracted. Sometimes using a computer will help complete the task faster this then will give her more time with her social life. What I am trying to say is that technology has its advantages and disadvantages.
