Long Distance Information Delivery

Information that would take weeks by train could be sent immediately. With the transatlantic cable, foreign news could be put into print the same day. The concept of “breaking news” was developed. When something catastrophic happened in the U.S. and abroad the public could be made aware as soon as the newspapers could print the information. The telegraph inspired to the formation new news agencies or news wires such as the Associated Press. They used the telegraph to send the news to customers in different locations which broadened their customer base. News reports also became shorter because telegraphs charged by the word so the most important points of the news story was sent and

However, it is understandable that investors will expect Twitter to come up with a sustainable business model and a presentation of the ways and plans to achieve the highly set targets. Even if Williams stated to journalists to wanting to go all the way with Twitter and to have as large an impact with this service as possible, he simultaneously revealed to already be thinking of the next big thing which substantiates suspicions that his commitment to Twitter’s profitability isn’t his main concern. This clearly exemplifies the extent to which Twitter’s situation in 2010 reflects the past record of its founders. Given that they were working to make ends meet while pursuing their real passion on the side – to find the next big thing – their success came as a byproduct of their pursuit of originality, not as a fully intended and envisioned result of planned moves toward

Days before the merger is made public, Begelman initiates a trade for 25K shares of Bluegreen stock

The electric telegraph transformed how wars were fought and won and how journalists and newspapers conducted business. Rather than taking weeks to be delivered by

Moving forward, social media has been a major convenience and reward to virtually everyone. On an individual basis, social media allows friends and family both near and far to communicate with one another. Also, businesses are flourishing through the use of social media. Advertising has never been easier. Horn (2013) states, “Our profession, unlike any time before, is demanding we become social media (…) experts” (1). Horn (2013) also states, “More than half of reporters (55 percent) use Twitter and Facebook to source stories” (1). Social media has greatly benefited business life and personal life.

Economic Discussion Prior to the electric telegraph, a long-distant message might be received through one of the following: fires, beacons, pigeon posts, or semaphores. At this point, the latest semaphore was recorded sending a message from Paris to Liles in under thirty two minutes. Before the telegraph, America used the Pony Express which delivered mail by horse. A message would be delivered by a series of men over a period of time before the message was received. This invaded privacy; also, depending on location, the message may take up to a week to be received.

Many historians have come to believe that with an increase to mass communication, whether that is the invention of the newspaper or the internet news travels faster than its predecessor. For example, receiving

Exhibit 4 tells us that the stock price of Interco started going up in July from about $44 to $72 on the day of the Board meeting. This tells us that markets anticipated that Inteco is a target for acquisition and increased the stock price of Interco in anticipation of an acquisition premium.

1. Discuss whether the analysts following Intel appear to have been influenced by any biases, both generally and in their reaction to Intel’s announcement in September 2000 (3 marks).

To the average technologically advanced American, Twitter is one of the most visited social media sites. From a popularity contest standpoint, Twitter would be amongst the top winners; however, when evaluating Twitter from a business analytical aspect it might not be a lucrative business venture. The attractive attribute to Twitter Inc. is the fact the sites does not make any of its users pay. Twitter is designed to allow users to voice multiple thoughts, ideas, or share different information amongst the site’s visitor. Unlike Facebook, Twitters does not have multi-million dollar corporations using the site on a regular basis to market more potential users. Therefore, with a low revenue base and poor strategic development implementation

Over the course of the next two essays, we will address the factors which made the advent of the telegraph in 1876 such a deciding influence on the future prospects of the technology industry as well as the growth of communication itself. We will also observe examples of just a few of the logistical, financial and distributional processes that go into the publication of a magazine designed for controlled circulation.

Other than these methods of communication there were other methods used to signal and communicate with in a distance. Our ancestors developed systems for sending simple messages or signals over a distance through drumbeats, fire or smoke signals, lanterns, birds and arrows. Birds carried messages through a long distance. The message was attached to a foot of a Pigeon or a Falcon who flew home with the message. This specific method of communication was used to a great extent during World War I.

Further, our strategy involved paying attention to current events and attempting to use them to generate a return. For example, Horizon Pharmaceuticals’ stock price took a nosedive after an October 19th New York Times article suggested that Horizon was attempting to thwart Express Scripts’ attempts to lower the price of prescription drugs. The decision was made to buy 100 shares of stock in Horizon when its price spiraled down to a measly $14.62 per share, as we expected Horizon would do something to stop the bleeding, and historically has been a pretty volatile stock. Horizon came back with a scorching rebuttal in an open letter later that day, spiking its stock price more than 30% on October 23rd, and by October 28th, this move landed us our greatest return of any stock that we purchased and held until the end of the period: 18% (see appendix).

When the internet first came into being, there was no way that the finance of a country could depend on it. But it was quite evident that internet was heavily dependent on the financial stature of a republic. However, times have changed now. The financial condition of a country is heavily dependent on the prevalent social media like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter which could not only back gear but also completely stop an upcoming financial crisis. This has rendered them as some of the biggest financial organizations available in the current market. It is also stated that the likes of Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter will rule banking and insurance in the near future.

The Internet of Things, or the IoT is envisioned as a ubiquitous society wherein people and devices (referred to as "Things") are connected in a riveting networked computing environment viz. Internet , with the connected “Things” providing utility to people/enterprises through various intelligent commercial and social services. Large chunks of data is generated for devices to communicate with each other to facilitate the Internet Of Things. Data transfer over the Internet is usually a power hungry process. With ever growing necessity of utilizing energy in a more efficient way it is not only important to communicate data at a faster rate but also do so in a very low energy consuming method. This report employs one such method which utilizes the fact that most of the data communicated by the IoT devices processes and services is irregular and generally concentrated over a short duration of time. This method focuses on adapting the duty cycle of these processes/devices so that they are asleep during large periods of inactivity. The report also investigates the Low power consumption system thus obtained as a standalone system running on the energy provided by a Energy Harvestor(PV CELL) .Cost considerations limit the size of the energy harvestor used which affects the power provided by it ,thus the system is so designed such that the energy harvestor is able to run the system during sleep while energy storing elements power the system during its active cycle. This means
