Anonymity on the Internet Must be ProtectedKarina Rigby Paper for MIT 6.805/STS085: Ethics and Law on the Electronic Frontier, Fall 1995 1. Introduction 1. The quality of state of …
-
This paper from 1995 describes the importance of anonymity on the Internet. 18 Years later I still believe its extremely important that ones personal information on everything he or she does must be protected. No one has the right to check out and take information from my Facebook page, my Soundcloud, my Instagram. Here is something that scares me, I am an avid redditor, On Reddit, people have main accounts, and ‘throwaway’ accounts so that people wont see certain stories on their main account… not everyone does this so sometimes, people will post a story on there main account then delete it.
-
This website allows you to view these deleted commets. This is scary! If someone deleted something off the internet… errr.. that is a fallacy, once its on the net. its on the net.

From The Cloud to Big Data – A Pop-Up Overview
-
This video was shared on the online lecture, other than the horrible music, it gives a nice introduction to the world of Cloud Computing. After watching this pro Cloud Computing video, it got me thinking… what happens if a Cloud rains so to speak, if it just fails?

Next video on the online lecture is Eli the Computer guy, who within the first five minutes… he answers my question. Good guy Eli. …. Oo Just had a Dejavu.

Introduction to Cloud Computing

So essentially, if one the server fails, it will transfer your data to another cloud… i kiiiiiiinnnnnndddddaaaa dont believe him. or im not understanding what hes saying.

Steve about cloud computing in 1997
-
This is my good friend, Steve, may he rest in peace, discussing and introducing the cloud 16 years ago. In 1997, he says he lost in the past 7 years, NO DATA. nothing.. this is back in 1990. what a boss. I still lose my work… 😥
-
Discussion Question: Describe what you see as the personal or professional benefits or drawbacks that cloud computing offers you. Given these benefits and drawbacks, do you now think differently about cloud computing than you used to? And would you recommend cloud computing solutions to others?The benefits are too obvious to state,access being the main one. I always thought the idea of Cloud Computing was fantastic, but just one thing. What happens when the power is out? or if not power, just your internet? I think its a wee drastic to say there is no need for hardware in terms of storing memory if the network is available key word being IF. internet is down, and you don’t have the work you want saved on a physical drive, you might have.. no you will have issues.
