week7: Computer gifts you would buy for family

week7 : Computer Gifts for family or friends

Since I belonged to this class: Introduction to Computers, I noticed and realized how the flash memory is useful. Before that, I didn't know even the existence of the super tiny useful thing. I used to use floppy disk to store information. However, the capacity is not so big, so I had to keep many floppies to store information. But now, I have a memory flash, so I don't have to have many floppies! Wonderful! Moreover, its very tiny and light, so it's easy to carry. So, for me, one of poor LCJ student who have to carry heavy books everyday, it's great thing. However, there's a weak point to store information in flash memory. It's tiny, so it's easy to loose it. Actually, the first month of this semester, I lost my first flash memory. I was sure I kept it inside of my pen case, but it wasn't in it. I searched it through my room, but I couldn't find it, so I bought new one. So, if I buy flash memory for my sister or other family as a gift, I'll but another one so that they won't lose every information. that's horrible! I stored every drafts of essays, presentation, etc... so I can't explain my feeling I felt when I realized I lost it completely! Again, I'll buy two pairs of USB flash, and I'll tell them to pay attention not to lose them!

week6: What is the "Net Neutrality"?

week6: Net Neutrality

Net Neutrality, also called Network Neutrality or NN, is the principle that Internet users should be in control of what content they view and what applications they use on the Internet. The Internet has operated according to this neutrality principle since its earliest days indeed it is this neutrality that has allowed many companies., including Google, to launch , grow, and innovate. Fundamentally, net neutrality is about equal access to the Internet. In our view, the broadband carries should not be permitted to use their market power to discriminate against competing applications or content. Just as telephone companies are not permitted to tell consumers who they can call or what they can say, broadband carriers should not be allowed to use their market power to control activity on line. Today, the neutrality of the Internet is at stake as the broadband carries want Congress's permission to determine what content gets you first and fastest. Put simply, this would fundamentally alter the openness of the Internet.
