Human-computer interaction

Do computers take away from interpersonal communication and interactions with our co-workers, peers, and colleagues or do they help us enable and strengthen current relationships? Most people have talked to someone through text messaging, email, or social media to avoid a face to face communication. Essentially everyone has been able to retain a relationship virtually due to location and their current situation. Computers aren’t necessarily a thing of the “past.” In perspective, this means that…

A vital part ofinternet promotions is search engine marketing. Search engine marketing is a highly comprehensive internet promotions technique targeting visibility on the search engine result pages. One can adjudge the impact of search engine marketing as an internet promotion technique by the fact that in the year 2006, advertisers in North America only rendered out $9.4 billion only for search engine marketing. This spent grossed an increase of more the 750 percent since 2002. Herein the…

most of my concentration classes. For instance I took computer fundamental classes in operating systems, programming, and database to advance in web systems development and data communications and networking. To be successful in web systems development I needed some understanding and become familiar in programming. Programming is basically learning a computer language it will allow you to tell the computer what design you want or command the computer. The prerequisites for data communications…

In the article ‘Smarter Than You Think,’ by Clive Thompson, the author explains the comparison of the human mind vs machine intelligence. He talks about the speed of these machines in a game of chess and the millions of calculations it can make in just seconds. Compared with humans, these machines outmatch ourselves in everything expect in one way. Thompson explains even though machines are better they have trouble with “intelligence amplification,” but when paired together the possibilities are…

education, or just light browsing, we rely on the computer to aid us to execute these tasks. Since the rise of the computer, society has greatly advance in ways of improving efficiency, problem solving, medicine, and etc.. As the years go by, we increasingly depend on them in order to solve many of the world’s problems. Since the start of the sale of personal computers to the public in the 1970’s, modern society has greatly changed. The computer is a electronic device that manipulates data in…

design/designers? Introduction: Artificial Intelligence (AI), defined in the oxford dictionary, as “the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.” Or simply put, it’s computers with the ability to mimic the human brain, might just be one of the biggest events that happened to mankind. And it has been gaining more attention as it finds…

exponential rate, the size of computers, which once took up an entire room, and their price were reduced down to more manageable sizes. As a result, computers become a commonplace piece of equipment found in many workplaces and family living rooms. However, as the year 2000 drew near, people began to fear that drastic changes would occur in their lives because of a simple bug called the Year 2000, or simply, Y2K. People’s fears were put to rest when the dates of all computers switched from 31…

determination to pursue a career in Computer Science sprang from the embarrassment I faced when I was in third grade. I became the subject of mockery after I pushed the power button when asked to shut down the lab-computer. I felt as if every other student but me knew how to systematically shut down the computer. Mortified, I aimed to outclass everyone in my class and ultimately become eminent in a field relating to computers. By reading every book I could find about computers, I propelled my…

In this new generation computers are becoming more of a necessity. On the World Wide Web there are all kinds of obstacles people are faced with that can lead to favorable or vicious consequences. Hacking is steadily growing as a worry for many and this is why the United States has to slow it down at any cost. With identities, financial accounts and other private information being stolen daily, people are looking towards the government for protection. Over the years the government has spent…

After reading the article I believe the authors background identified with the mathematics and computer science disciplines. Mathematic disciplines involve logic and probability of algorithms. For the autominder, researchers had to involve specific times an individual may need to remember. For instance in the article the author mentioned how the plan manager system in the autominer involved specific algorithms when dealing with certain times. For example the article provided a scenario where an…
