World Wide Web

The World Wide Web of course will continue to evolve since there is
companies competing with each other, they develop and expand on old
and new ideas therefore always improving. Companies such as Microsoft,
Apple and other companies all aim to change the world with new and
improved technologies such as the invention of cloud computing, it
makes things easy for us by having data backed up online, databases,
monitoring, software, and much more.  It reduces us from using up the
hard-drive on our computers. As the web continues to change, companies
keep track of what is popular among users.  For instance, a lot of
people are connected to the WWW on mobile gadgets.  Companies seek to
improve technology and meet with the demands of the consumers.
According to the article

Microsoft purchased Nokia's phone business and patent rights to help
boost Windows Phone software.  The market is dominated by Apple and
Android.  These competitions boost creativity in many companies,
therefore the World Wide Web continues to change.

Networks and Communication

Asynchronous communication may be used in a lot of ways. For example, I can email a friend a link.  He might read it right away or may take a few hours.  I sometimes text message and the same thing may happen.  The person may not reply to me fast.  On the other hand when using synchronous communication the other person receiving my call on Skype or other chat clients they will reply right away because we are connected at the same time.
Both forms of communication are reliable methods to interact with others but it also has consequences such as being distracted when we drive or walk.  According to the article, (http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/22/tech/mobile/texting-walking-study/) studies are showing affects.  People can be hurt, because they aren't paying attention to their surroundings.

First Blog Post

Hello! The name is Jesus Cordero


A course can effectively teach how to integrate blogs by using twitter, and/or other web 2.0 technologies. As the article stated, (http://dailyorange.com/2013/02/barillari-classroom-technology-effective-when-used-as-additional-tool/)  teachers and students have been now using Twitter to tweet their thoughts and to get to know their classmates much better or use blogs to post our ideas and discuss an article we read. This is a new form of community that our generation is doing now instead of discussing together in class, but it is helpful as well by having the information written in our blogs or tweets that we can study from. For example, my professor and peers communicate with each other using blogs to get to know each other and to see how each one of us thinks and how we don't have same ideas for different situations. I read my peers thoughts and I discovered things that I myself haven't thought about.   Hence, I do think a course can effectively integrate twitter, and/or other web 2.0 technologies for the enhancement of blogs.
