Question 1

A breach of privacy in the last 6 months that was reported in Australia was that at a NSW hospital private medical records of patients were found in public areas.

List some of the ‘unintended consequences’ described in the case

Topic 2 questions

Question 1a

The 4 main points that Micheal Rappa Makes about his seach are that with the technology that we have we as a people are making a lot of data he states that “a rough estimate of about 5 exabytes of new information produced annually” (http://digitalenterprise.org/navigation/nav.html) this a lot of data that we are just genrally producing

The second point in his article is that “not long ago information was relatively scarce” (http://digitalenterprise.org/navigation/nav.html) this is inference to how much information that the internet now has through different ways of storing it, because of the cost effective ways to store data we now have access to “an environment that is data rich” because that there is so much data around “we will be flooded with information”

Another point that Micheal makes is that he compares that we have gone from a data shortage to a “overabundance” of information “with more than 300 million host computers by January 2005” there is a lot of information that we can go through for a business this is a scary thought that there are so much out on the internet they must find a way to stand out in the crowd

 

The last point that micheal brings up in his article is that we can find a business by using “.com” but this is not always the case” what is meant by this, is that not every single business has a formal website for example www.netflix.com some business runs through Facebook or gumtree ect when searching up business it is important to use keywords in the search so that you can find small business that run on these sites

Q 1b

I do agree with marissa in saying that if you have a small amount of people and empowering them to make decions and allowing that to go ahead will do a lot of goog in this case google. With my experience of this type of situation is that when I’m working (I am currently employed by coles) when I do the night shifts I have been allowed to decide cetain things for that shift

Q2a

bill joys 6 webs are:

The Near Web: this is the internet that you can see on a screen eg laptop

The far web: this is the internet that you can sit back a view eg a smart tv

The Weird Web:  this is internet that can be accessed through your voice and you can lisen to eg when you use siri on your iphone

B2B: this is an internet that does not posses a consumer interface eg where a bussiness machine talks to another bussiness machine

D2D: this is the internet of sensors deployed in meshes networks, adjusting urban systems for maxium effciency

2b

In the coming future there is the potentail for more webs, it depends on how technogly evolves in the coming years

2c

This is great for business that a foot in the door for online activity because there are more and more ways to access the internet and because of this if the business markets themselves in a innovative way they have a great chance to get a lot of internet traffic through there website and hopefully a lot of sales which should grow the business even further

Internet risks – give examples of four things that can go wrong with a transactional site?

A few things that can go wrong with a transactional site for example paypal, is that firstly, exposes itself with being overloaded with information for example Hackers could flood the site with fake transactions which subsequently causes the site to crash because of the overloading information.

Secondly, another problem with a transactional site is that it can attract hackers to get into the site and steal the bank details and general finances of the clients using the site. A lot of these sites have good security but there is always a risk hacking

Thridly another risk of transactional sites is that there could be some people using the sites that have wrongful intentions and do their best to con you out of your money.

Lastly the last thing that could go wrong with transactional sites is that the products that could be purchased on these sites might not live up to the standards of the images shown on the site

About Me!!!

Hello,

My name is Jack Lewis I am 20 years old, I’m a current student at federation university, I am currently studying a bachelor of business management majoring in management.

I have lived in Ballarat almost 20, despite the cold winters Ballarat is a good place, like every town it has its good times and bad. I had begun my educational life and St Patricks Primary school many years ago. After some good times and a few short years I had began my adventure into secondary education, the school in which I had attended was St Patrick’s college. during my time at St Patrick’s college I had made some great memories and some great friends along the way. after some years in high school Graduation had rolled around and it was time to depart from our schooling lives and try out some new things, we had all gone our separate ways, some of my friends went straight in uni others straight into the workforce as a full time employee, where as for myself I had taken a gap year to which I had spent some time working on the family farm and working for  Coles in town, it was in essence a gap year away from education.
