Introduction
The rapid growth of Web has completely changed communication and business services in such a way accuracy, speed, and availability of network-delivered content have become completely in danger. Internet is expanding every moment that creates a significant delay making the delivery of any content becomes extremely difficult. To deal with this problem, proxy servers, also called Web cache, has been deployed in the internet by providing shared cache location for multiple clients to treat the need for swift content transmission. Proxy servers practically minimizes delivery time such as requested object exists in a close cache where the cached version has not expired.
There are three essential purposes of Web caching. First, the response time for a client request can be considerably decreased by a Web cache, specifically when the bottleneck bandwidth between the origin server and the client is much less than the bottleneck bandwidth between the cache and the client. For instance, if the requested object is available in the cache, and we have a high-speed connection between the client and the cache, then the object will be delivered immediately to the client. Second, traffic on an institution’s access link to the Internet can be considerably reduced by Web caches. This is significantly important because it will minimize the chance of upgrading bandwidth and reducing costs. Furthermore, Web caches can considerably decrease Web traffic in the Internet as a whole
Despite some of the new wireless devices potentially causing work distractions, in addition to few staff members not having the expertise to use the devices or application, Technology nevertheless has improved the options for communicating in the business world. Wireless devices and the ongoing growing technology options continue to assist employees to work more efficiently, in addition to the time saved using these devices versus the preceding options.
The availability for the general public to use some type of internet is vastly abundant. On a given day, we may look at the internet through social media sites, emails and browse search engines several times
Thirty years or so ago, the average American would be hard-pressed to name a single Korean pop star. Today, the South Korean singing sensation Psy is world-famous, thanks to the rather random fact that his catchy tune "Gangnam Style" was a YouTube sensation, garnering millions of 'hits' from users all around the globe. The song spawned multiple Internet parodies and even earned Psy a lucrative Superbowl advertisement contract as the spokesperson for Wonderful Pistachios.
Without a doubt 21st-century communication has really changed the way we communicate, and the way we connect to the world.
The internet, as it stands today, serves as a medium for our entertainment, communication, and commercial needs. It is something many of us have come to take for granted. The original intended purpose of the first “internet,” however, goes back to the days of the Cold War where the ever looming threat of a nuclear missile attack prompted the U.S., as well as many other countries, to build a robust, fault-tolerant, and widely distributed computer network. By 1970, ARPANET had
Computer technology will continue to flourish throughout the passage of time. Technology has changed the way we conduct and transact business. As a result to these technological advances businesses were required to adjust and adapt through the means of Computer Information Systems (CIS) to survive in the modern business world. The workplace has changed significantly over the last half-century due to CIS. CIS has an effect over the business world, impacting how companies develop and market their products, in conjunction with how people communicate and accomplish their jobs more efficiently and successfully. The CIS field has grown drastically over the years. The employment in CIS is projected to grow 22 percent from 2010 to 2020, according to The Bureau of Labor Statistics. In 2020 there should be over 664,800 jobs open in the IS and CIS field (Thibodeau). Computer information systems has revolutionized business by increasing a companies’ functionality, improving data collection and lastly by ‘flattening’ the world.
The introduction of the ultimate business disruptors: Internet, World Wide Web and communication technologies have revolutionized the way business operates and improving the way people as well as the way people and organizations communicate and collaborate paige. The concept of Web 2.0 (Business 2.0) has earned a lot of prominence in recent years since it has positively changed the global landscape of businesses. Web 2.0 serves as a distinctive communications platform characterized by qualities such as collaboration, content sharing and user contributions eliminating entry barriers for online business. Recently, many businesses and organizations has started extensively implement Web 2.0 applications in hopes of improving communication, boosting collaboration, exchange of knowledge among the participants leading to organizational innovation paige.
Over the next 10 years, we will see a change in technology, and the Internet. Things will continue to progress, and fundamental changes will easily be defined. Technologies have revolutionized how people spread and consume information; these changes will redefine who we are as consumers, merchants, and individuals. With the expansion of computers and the Internet connectivity, people are able to share more of their lives with family and friends. Technology has offered the world so many different services, which include emailing, instant messaging, search engines, blogs, and Wikipedia. These services have changed the way we communicate with others, our knowledge, and the way we conduct business. With the increasing usage of the Internet, developers continue to find ways to improve technology and the way we utilize the Internet. Technology has a wide range of different aspects and concepts, which includes protocols. There has to be rules, and objectives in any and everything we do, and protocols governs communications, errors, detections, messages, and speed. There are three technology concepts behind the Internet, and they are packet switching, Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) communications
The reading I will be analysing is The Humanisation of Media by Robert G Picard. Robert G Picard is a leading academic expert on media businesses and media policy. Robert is known for being the father of media economics studies. The issues he talking about overcoming the limits of mass communication. Another interesting issue he is talking about is the how technology of social media changes the way we communicate.
In today’s world Internet has become one of the most important mediums of communication. It has become the lifeline of our survival. It has removed the entire social, economic and physical barrier and has immense effect on our day to day activity.
A literature review about new terms and theories that were developed by scholars to describe shifts that were caused by the rise of Internet and which are relevant in order to understand the present topic will be discussed. In the following, the concept of the working consumer, prosumption, user-generated content, participatory culture and electronic word-of-mouth will be explained in accordance with the academic literature.
When using the telephone, watching television and through print, information has traveled around the world. The Internet has been used for business to have access to the newest information. However, having new product developments and technological advance can help improve business 's products and compete with other companies. Since the Internet has become popular, the way small businesses exchange information has changed drastically. Now, because of the Internet, businesses can now email; do online videoconference; document exchange and also collaborate with developers and vendors all over the world inexpensively. The Internet has transformed the economics of marketing and making obsolete many of the functions of traditional strategies and structures. “For marketers, the old way of doing business is unsustainable (Edelman, 2010).”
The biggest change of our time all began less than a generation ago when the world met the internet. The internet revolutionized world-wide capabilities in communication, and changed the way that people, firms, and even governments communicate. Furthermore, it has created a change in society, by connecting people anywhere on the globe and giving them access to information. It has also fueled industries, making significant changes in industries all over the world, and allowing new industries to emerge into the digital age. People and the internet have grown together, resulting in a world like the one we live in today, but it was not always this way.
Information and technology have been significantly developing over the past few decades. New services and machines are built to support the needs of people. People can now store their information and data in their digital devices such as cellphones or laptop, or online databases. Although this development makes people’ life more convenient, it raises a controversial issue about privacy protection. Many people have agreed that the producers of those digital devices should protect the privacy information stored on their customers’ devices. However, recently, there has been a case in which the FBI requested Apple Inc. to build software that allows them to break through the security of the IPhone so that the FBI can look for information about terrorists from the phone they collected. Apple refused because this will make the security of all its products, not only the IPhone, weakened. Hence, this could cause a huge privacy risk for all of its customers. A question raised up here asking whether Apple’s action was morally right, because it wants to protect people’ privacy, or not, since it didn’t help the government and put people in a security risk. The cyberethic issue here is the privacy protection and whether it is more important to sacrifice privacy for security like in the above situation or not.
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support electronic mail.
