New Capabilities of Computing Technology

-
The creation and use of computing technology enables new capabilities.
For example, information and decision rules can be captured and copied more easily; individuals can be monitored, tracked, and evaluated at increasingly short intervals and at finer levels of detail. Thus, new computing capabilities strain our current norms, rules and laws. This problem will only worsen as technology becomes even more capable.
Because computing involves a relatively new and continually changing set of technology capabilities, professionals face some additional complexities beyond the typical questions of rights and fairness (to employees, stockholders, consumers, vendors, community); honesty; responsibility to do no harm; and so forth. 

 For this assignment:

1. Identify and describe 5 specific capabilities of computing (e.g., speed, permanence/storage) made possible or enhanced by computing technology.

2. Select one of the capabilities you identified and discuss its relationship to the following issues raised by the application of the technology:

  • Privacy
  • Ownership
  • Control
  • Accuracy
  • Security

3. Describe the areas of potential IT policy decisions that may be triggered by your selected capability.

Linked Files in Visual Studio 2010

File Linking, File Sharing and Shared Projects. You know how it feels to have shared files on VSS? Gooood . Actually it felt so good that my beloved CTO (who said something about promotion?) switched to TFS just 4-5 months ago.  And ever since - I cry myself to sleep every night. Instead of one file, shared between 5,6,7 or 10 projects, we now have a copied file for each project.  This is due to Microsoft "Best Practice" which says - No Shared Files . Meaning...? If I have a JavaScript file called Arrays.js.  It's all purpose is to handle arrays in JavaScript.  This file exists in 6 different projects, which mean, that if I have another addition to this small JavaScript library, I have to copy it to 6 different files in 6 different projects... JUST SHOOT ME!!! Finally, I have the fix we've all been waiting for, courtesy of VS 2010: "Add File As Link" How to Link Files to Different Projects: Let’s say we have 2 completely dif

Protecting Personal Data

Protecting personal data can be overwhelming, but it is not impossible. There are highly secure tools both online and offline to protect personal data. Shielding personal data can be logical, highly secure as well as inexpensive. Protecting Personal Data Offline   Physically lock your financial records and personal documents in a safe place in your home. Purchase an inexpensive fire-proof safe that can be stored in a secure closet, built in your floor or wall.   A good fireproof safe costs from $100 to $3000 (Sears, 2013). Protect your wallet and or purse in a desk drawer at work. Limit what you carry when you go out. Never keep your social security card in your wallet; lock it up. When filling out forms in the workplace, the doctor’s office, or your child’s school ask how your information will be safeguarded. If you do not have to fill out every little detail of your life, leave that portion blank. Ask for the consequences of not providing specific information. Shr

SEO One On One - Web of Links

-
Creating Links, Connecting other sites to yours. The term Web of Links refers to creating multiple sites, each connected to the other one, in order to promote a specific website. This is exactly what a website owner would like, an hour work (and about 50$  investment) which will generate his website 25 links. Web of Links is mainly for indexing purposes and less for getting a higher page rank (PR) in search engines (Google). I'll start by explaining the benefits of the Web of Links method: Let's say you just created a website. You've made all the right things... Listed your site in all the indexes websites, registered to Google Analytics and Google Web Master Tool and even wrote some content pages in order to attract visitors. This is good, the only problem is that Google may have not indexed all you pages yet.  If you're a small new website, this process can take awhile. The Web of Links idea simply makes the linking process smoother. Enter a domain s
