What is this???

Nanotechnology:

Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. This covers both current work and concepts that are more advanced. (http://crnano.org/benefits.htm). Besides, there have a lot of advantages can we obtain from nanotechnology.

1.      Advanced nanotech can solve many human problems.

2.      Many diverse problems are related to water.

3.      Cheap greenhouses can save water, land, and food.

4.      Nanotech makes solar energy feasible.

5.      Living spaces can be greatly improved.

6.      Computers will be cheap enough for everyone.

7.      Nanotech can help the environment.

The advantages of nanotechnology were really help users not only in one element but it is covered major of element.

Grid computing:

Grid computing is a service for sharing computer power and data storage capacity over the Internet. Grid computing uses the Internet to help us share computer power, while the Web uses the Internet to help us share information. There have information regarding this services in http://www.gridcafe.org/grid-in-30-sec.html.

Grid computing is making big contributions to scientific research, helping scientists around the world to analyze and store massive amounts of data.

In grid computing reality, there are already hundreds of grids around the world, each one created to help a specific group of researchers, or a particular group of users. And across the world, researchers and software engineers are working to bring “the Grid” closer to achieving the dream.

 Quantum Computing:

Quantum computing relies on quantum physics by taking advantage of certain quantum physics properties of atoms or nuclei that allow them to work together as quantum bits, or qubits, to be the computer’s processor and memory.

A quantum computer can do an arbitrary reversible classical computation on all the numbers simultaneously, which a binary system cannot do, and also has some ability to produce interference between various different numbers.

Quantum computing is not well suited for tasks such as word processing and email, but it is ideal for tasks such as cryptography and modelling and indexing very large databases. To get more detailed please refer to http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/Q/quantum_computing.html.

Semantic Web:

The Semantic Web is the extension of the World Wide Web that enables people to share content beyond the boundaries of applications and websites. It has been described in rather different ways: as a utopic vision, as a web of data, or merely as a natural paradigm shift in our daily use of the Web. Most of all, the Semantic Web has inspired and engaged many people to create innovative semantic technologies and applications. This info take from

How do you respond to these statements?

For CEOs and their organizations, avoiding complexity is not an option — the choice comes in how they respond to it. Will they allow complexity to become a stifling force that slows responsiveness, overwhelms employees and customers, or threatens profits?

-          2010 IBM Global CEO Study

For me, CEOs and their organizations need to be avoid. Yes, I agreed with the statement ‘the choice comes in how they responds to it. When they had faced complexity so, their quality of work decrease suddenly. Why? This all happen when some employees feel they always be forced with many thing and this could disturb their time. Furthermore, complexity is something difficult to describe because complexity in IT can make users or employees will have hard decision making when dealing something. For my opinion just avoid it and find another solution so that employees can be enjoy in their working.In addition, we have option in order to avoid complexity from getting worse, and can make employees easily handle their job.

Example of good user centered design in an application/web system and identify its features.

User centered design where make users issues central in design process by carrying out early testing and evaluation with users and the design takes place iteratively. It’s mean that user centered design is mean that considering product to the user or in other way, user centered design is design to make users could easily handle all the applications or the products. Smart phone for example, it is not only for texting and calling someone but it’s also was design to be multifunction in order to make users satisfied and suitable with environment. Smart phone now also were design to help users complete their task or become reminder and to share anything with other user. Moreover, the function of smart phone now already upgrade to become like laptop so, users do not have to worry to bring heavy laptop everywhere and just using phone to complete every task. It easy right?

“Most CS people laugh at MIS/IT people,” and “MIS/IT people make more money and manage the CS folks.”

        What I can say from this statement, it is true mostly CS people laugh at MIS/IT people because MIS/IT people just study everything in general only. Not like CS people who study deep that’s mean they study a lot from MIS/IT people. For me, it’s okay to laugh but they need to remember that MIS/IT were study about human basic need and new technologies so, most MIS/IT people are needed in industry or anything else because we all can cover everything in management level like security, technical and other else. Not like CS people, who cannot cover all management level but just focus in one management only.

         Furthermore, CEO nowadays in any organizations mostly are people who has profession from MIS/IT and their workers are CS people. This is fact. Ha, we can see that MIS/IT will able to make more money and manage the CS folks. So, remember CS people! We as MIS/IT people were stronger than you all and your career are depends on us. After this do not laugh and beware with us because we all are like lion who can attack you anytime anywhere. Fullstop!!

Compare the topics and methods of the computing disciplines. Just what are the differences among these disciplines?

Topics for this week is Computing Disciplines. Many people consider the contemporary time period the “era of computing”. Indeed, technological advances in computing field has develop many exciting new directions in the world. In order to make people will able to understand computing field, we break the computing field down into five which is: Computer engineering, computer science, information systems, information technology, software engineering, and cognitive science. Absolutely each of these computing disciplines are different. Please refer table below about differences of computing disciplines.

NO	COMPUTING DISCIPLINES	JOBS SCOPE	CAREER PATH
1.	Computer Engineering	Ø  Involves software and hardware the development of systems that involves software, hardware and communications.	v  Computer Engineer. v  OS Developer.
2.	Computer Science	Ø  Most popular of the computing disciplines. Ø  Tends to be relatively broad and with an emphasis on the underlying science aspects.	v  Designing and implementing software, devising new ways to use computers, developing effective ways to solve computing problems, planning and managing organizational technology infrastructure.
3.	Information Systems	Ø  Essentially, this is computing in an organizational context, typically in businesses.	v  Information that computer systems can provide to aid a company, non-profit or governmental organization in defining and achieving its goal.
4.	Information Technology	Ø  Focusses on computing infrastructure and needs of individual users. Ø  Tends to involve a study of systems.	v  CEO/ CIO of companies, also opening DotCom companies.
5.	Software Engineering	Ø  Focuses on large-scale software systems. Ø  Employs certain ideas from the world of engineering in building reliable software systems.	v  Software Engineer. v  Programmer.
6.	Cognitive Science	Ø  Is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the mind and its processes? Ø  It examines what cognition is, what it does and how it works.

Can I live without internet connection for a day, a week, a month, and a year?

Good question for me, actually I cannot live without internet connection because it’s part of my life and will make me sick when no internet connection only for 1 hour. This because everything now depends on internet and I also think that anybody else also same like me. Almost 24 hour I will spend for using internet only: to find information, download movie, facebooking and many more and for that reason internet so important to me. I don’t know what happen to me if one day I will be stranded at place which is doesn’t have any internet connection. Maybe I will become crazy or I will die? I cannot imagine anything. But, in my university also have problem with internet connection, so stressful and to overcome it, I subscribed P1 internet. It’s like heaven when I can do everything hahahahaha X0X0 lalala~

How does internet affect my life as a student?

 I would to share how internet affects my life as a student. First for all, what is internet and why we need this in our life? For me internet is a network that contain everything information all over the world and I can find any information by using internet because everything just on my fingertip only. But, as student like me, internet is everything because I have many assignment, exercise and the most important is facebooking. I need to find many references regarding my studies even to check my result also using internet. From that, I can concluded that internet already affect developed my life from a boy who doesn’t know anything to a boy who already expert in anything that related to IT. Back to 10 years past, to use Microsoft Word always make me sick because nobody had teach me about IT. How shameful I am, until now I will remember all my experience and will document it in my memories. Sometimes, we also need to remember that internet could ruined our life for example myself as well, I always waste my time by download movie and watching movie only. For my dear friends, do not me follow me la, better study than waste your time. Internet will become our good comrade if we know how to handle it but it also will stabbed us so, do not drink and drive beware of dog..X0X0 lalala~
