Technology: A Challenge on Campus
Michael B McCall. Community College Journal. Washington: Oct/Nov 2005. Vol. 76, Iss. 2; p. 3 (1 page)
Abstract:
McCall claims that technology is revolutionizing all aspects of human life. With this, he discusses the inherent challenges in the innovation and implementation of technology at most colleges since students are demanding for technology to be a key component of their learning experiences and businesses are requiring institutions to train workers using state of the art equipment. Among other things, he says that the biggest technological payoff is in the area of teaching and learning.
The power of collective intelligence
Aaron Weiss. NetWorker. New York: Sep 2005. Vol. 9, Iss. 3; p. 16
Abstract:
The fast-growing vines of so-called social software are quickly overtaking the Internet. The rise of Web logs, or blogs, hit the media radar in 2000. Blogs offered something new - ready accessibility. Because blogs can be interactive exchanges between writer and reader, virtually anyone comfortable with surfing the Web could now create their own online community. The concept of "sharing" itself is exploding into multiple meanings. The wiki, first developed in 1995, is a system for writing documents collectively. Viewed most optimistically, the new sharing driving today's Internet evolution could lead the way to a truly democratic network.
The Internet is Going to the Dogs
Matthew Saltzman. OR-MS Today. Linthicum: Aug 2005. Vol. 32, Iss. 4; p. 8
Abstract:
A recent fashion on the World Wide Web is blogging. A recent fashion in spam is automatic posting of commercial messages to blog discussion groups. Another Internet lowlife innovation is phishing. Phishing e-mails attempt to masquerade as messages from legitimate sources such as eBay, Amazon or large banks. They claim that your customer records have been compromised or need to be updated, and they provide a Web link to a page to collect the information. Pharming is a more insidious form of attack where the hacker hijacks a legitimate URL and redirects it to his own site. The telltale sign that you are connected to a site without a legitimate SSL certificate is that your browser will complain about certificate inconsistencies.
