Privacy

Week-11



Well, we know that online privacy is a major topic, but I'd want to take a different approach.


All our confidential data is stored in some form of database in countries such as Estonia for example. The data should really be secure. Data can be tracked in case of somebody's attempt to access your data, but that might already be too late.


Moreover, when there is an "unauthorized access", why and how it happened is always a question which everyone has to think about.


For example with the help of cookies, I believe that we might be able to control the extent to which our personal information is available, even if it may complicate our lives a little.

 Accessibility to the technology Week-14 Gaming Players with physical limitations are something that some developers have a hard time accommodating. To excel in many games, you'll need quick reflexes and rapid, precise inputs.

Input controllers must be modified to do this.  Everyone can like gaming. Some games can be less approachable than others, but the medium as a whole must be accessible. When cost-effective, it's critical for developers to take steps to cater for a wide range of abilities. When that isn't possible, input elements that are specifically intended can aid.

 Three interesting examples of IT solutions from different decades Week-1 Touch ID It is an electronic fingerprint recognition feature which is created and published by Apple Inc in the late 2013's. It enables users to unlock devices, make purchases and authenticate Apple pay, etc. It first came out after the first release of Iphone 5S. In 2015, Apple introduced a faster second-generation version with a new Iphone 6s. Then in 2016, Apple integrated the Touch Id to the Macbook Pro on the right side of its touch bar. It is also used on Ipads since the Ipad Air 2 which was the first ever Ipad that had Touch Id. Users can create more than one fingerprints and use them at a time. Fingerprint information is stored locally in a secure enclave on the Apple A7 and later chips, not in the cloud, a design choice intended to make it impossible for users or malicious attackers to externally access the fingerprint information. Google It began in January 1996 as a research project by Larry Page a

One new media component Week-3  Wikis Wikipedia is the leading wiki in today's world. It would help with your history homework, or art project. It is always there for you in case information about any specific topic is needed.  Today getting misinformed about any subject is easier than ever. Wikis are one of the best options to provide you with the quality information. It gives you the right to cheat on your exam, or get to know about an article that you were interested in. Unfortunately, this causes Enclypoedias to be forgotten completely. If we have to compare Encyclopedias and wikis and find out why people seem to be more comfortable choosing wikis then firstly, they have search engines integrated. Simply, you can just type the specific topic/subject you are searching for. This will save plenty of time as you are immediately directed to the content that you are looking for. Secondly, information can be added, edited, and deleted by anybody. So it is always intended that the info
