Week EOC: The future of the internet

With just a few decades under its belt, the internet is always changing. I believe processing data or bits will be even faster than it is today. You could probably process the amount of bytes that it takes to download several DVDs or several hundred, for example, and have it finished within seconds. “The volume of mobile data traffic almost doubled from the second quarter of 2012 to the second quarter of 2013, and grew 14% between the first and second quarter of 2013.” http://www.akamai.com/dl/documents/akamai_soti_q213.pdf?WT.mc_id=soti_Q213. This goes to show the rise of mobile usage with phones and connectivity to the internet has raised by that much within a year. Imagine, in a few years you could transmit data just through your phone alone. You could send data through the internet to your doctor and he could diagnose you even with whatever without you even being there.  “Global broadband (>4 Mbps) adoption grew 11% to reach the 50% mark.” http://www.akamai.com/dl/documents/akamai_soti_q213.pdf?WT.mc_id=soti_Q213.  Broadband connection and mbps could increase even more within the next few years. Connection would be faster even from country to country. We could communicate with people much easier and those who use cameras could give or get a clearer image from computer to computer. Cross country businesses would be able to do all the work all from their home companies without even having to travel really. It’s all about sending and receiving data. “Tech experts believe the vast quantities of data that humans and machines will be creating by the year 2020 could enhance productivity, improve organizational transparency.” http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2012/Future-of-Big-Data.aspx. Considering that 2020 is far into the future, I do believe that even a few years from now or decades that productivity and vast quantities of data will be increased. This is what I believe, in part; will happen with the future of the internet.

Week 9, Domain Setup

On week 9 we setup a domain name using one of the various sites to acquire the name. First we had to register a domain name which took some time onto itself. You had to find a name that was available and yet contained some kind of meaning for us, individually. I used blue host as one of the sites to create my domain name. After sorting through several names I was finally able use one that had some kind of meaning to the work I did. After that I then had to enter account information. After entering information such as name, address, and email address I then had to select a package deal. I could go a 12 month price up to a 6 month price with the latter being cheaper in price per month. After entering the one i wanted I was brought to the billing page where I had to enter my credit card number, expiration date, etc. I regrettably didn't get to finish the process to complete it but I'm quite sure that i would have control over the name after I had selected "Next" on the bottom of the page.
