Mobile Computing

Mobile computing is a vert interesting topic. I already had some general knowledge of mobile computing as I have been learning about this in my Bus Admin class which involved learning the components and characteristics of mobile computing. I find it very interesting  how mobile computing has effected our way of living and the impacts it has on our future.
When it comes to mobile computing, everyone can see how this dream has become reality; and continues to evolve into smaller and better, making reality even easier for all of us.The dream to get computers in very home and work environment became reality. As each year went by in the computing industry, smaller and better has been the dream and became reality for many. While things continued to evolve everyone wanted to see the laptop in the palm of our hands. At the same time the computer was becoming smaller, it opened the field of smaller and better cell phone; thus mating together the cell phone and hand held palm computer into the  smart-phones of today, which has opened the field of mobile computer as we know it today and what it is going to become in the future.
However mobile computing has had far-reaching effects on our social behavior and cultural progression. The ease with which they enable us to communicate with each other has led to a decrease in face-to-face meetings and real one-to-one physical human interaction. Those that grow up getting used to impersonal communication on their mobile phones can find themselves incapable of dealing with even simple day-to-day human interaction.

Cloud Computing Week 9- Part 2


I see cloud computing as software and hardware that is used a service over a network, for example the internet,-World Wide Web is a service over the internet and I believe this is an example that can be used to describe cloud computing. I like the idea of cloud computing because it provides infrastructure services, storage services and of course security service’s which is something I think that everyone wants because of information people can access over the web these days can be a little bit too much. Privacy is a concern for me and I’m sure is for most people especially businesses when your considering data, I don’t think too many companies would be happy if their data which they transfer or store on service online was exposed in some way or another.

https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews

The blog page I have chosen to discuss is related to my previous personal posts which is sports. Sky sports News is the biggest sporting news channel in Europe, It covers every sport in the world and has first insight to breaking news from anywhere around the world. I chose the twitter page because I use this everyday and I thought it would be best to write about something I am familiar with. It provides live blog tweets of everything that is going on during their TV operating hours and I never miss a thing. The best thing about it I have subscribed this twitter page to give me live updates on my phone so whenever there is a breaking headline, I will receive a message to inform me. Because Sky Sports News is not a TV channel in the US I find it great to have such services online so I can keep up to date with the latest news.
