So your devices always stay in perfect sync. 3. Do you think privacy is still an issue with phones and apps? Of course yes because mobile devices are connected to networks for all the time in order to access to files and media. Privacy is always going to be an issue with phones and apps because even though Apple is storing data for shorter time, the stored data can be used or leaked anytime when threats attack.

The advantage of the system is that doctors and patients don't need to travel to each others' place just to get looked at, because it can all be done via video conferencing. 5. Explain the relationship between the IT system and the social/ethical issue identified in question 3. The issue of reliability is related to the IT System (software and internet) in which the software relies on the internet connection. Therefore, if the internet connection fails to work properly, the software would not be efficient, and thus not reliable. 6. Discuss at least one problem that relates to the impacts of the social/ethical issue. The major problem that will arise from the impact of the reliability concern are the patients' lives. The patients lives would be in danger if the doctor diagnoses the illness incorrectly, and prescribes medication incorrectly.

How would this help you? These tools could help us by providing us with at least some more sense of security that what we barely have left now. Because we are often on the Internet, we are exposed to the danger of being seen and tracked by others. These tools help us stay invisible and informed. The use of encryption is used as well as proxies to hide user IP addresses. The free tools are basically for us to be aware of what is being tracked of our online activity, and how we can prevent it with the software.

Define: Artificial intelligence Turing test Why is a Jeopardy-playing computer considered such a huge advance in AI. Kuni Feb 22

Define: Artificial intelligence- the branch of computer science that deal with writing computer programs that can solve problems creatively; "workers in AI hope to imitate or duplicate intelligence in computers and robots" Turing test- The Turing test is a proposal for a test of a machine's ability to demonstrate intelligence. It proceeds as follows: a human judge engages in a natural language conversation with one human and one machine, each of which tries to appear human. All participants are placed in isolated locations. Why is a Jeopardy-playing computer considered such a huge advance in AI? Because Jeopardy represents a next generation on AI that advancements in artificial intelligence and natural language processing that overcome the formidable challenge of conveying the same information in many different ways. The supercomputer owes that significance to its ability to deliver more than calculations and documents. This kind of ability makes this machine more equipped than any before it to systematize "thoughts" and converse.

Why is cloud computing gaining widespread adoption? Why is it cheaper? Describe saas Describe the Tangerine example. What kind of customers does salesforce target? How does cloud computing encourage collaboration? march 17 soo

Explain: As microprocessors become more powerful, mobile phones are changing into hand-held computers. As a result, most of their value is now in software and data services. This is where America, in particular Silicon Valley, is hard to beat. Companies like Apple and Google know how to build overarching technology platforms. And the Valley boasts an unparalleled ecosystem of entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and software developers who regularly spawn innovative services. march 29 cream

It is all about microprocessor and how powerful it is. According to this article, it concerns with Nokia mobile phones as the company develop so much on hardware, which lack in software nowadays. In the other hand, Apple provides a really good with software, because they are mostly useful and impressive. So, now it is quite hard for Nokia to fight against this advance of Apple.
