 Google glasses (2012) Google tried to appeal to the common public with the glasses, but the problem was that technology wasn't up to par with it's features and usablitiy compared to an average smartphone. Especially considering that having glasses that can potentially monitor your every action with an active camera made it an awkward gadget to be amongst people. Nobody would like their actions being recorder 24/7, thus making the design choice for the average person with similar use to the smartphone was a bad choice and the main reason for it's flop. However, in 2019 there have been found practical uses for such a device, mainly in working environments, where real time data needs to be accessed while having both hands full. For example, imagine working as a repair mechanic under a car and you see the cars blueprint or the issues location in 3D in-real time. It would make work faster and more efficient, especially for people who aren't that experienced or proficient. O...

 IT Professionalism  While professionalism til this day is quite a vague expression, the base premise stays the same, that the person in question has the skills to back such a "title". It is estimated that is the difference in a knowledgable and skilled worker in a field and a professional is the communication between peers and others alike, in other words the addition of communication skills. Especially considering that professionalism is more like a title, given as a "compliment" by associates and has no precise criteria as a degree or the aquisition of a certificate would have. That would make "professionalism" more of a gained status in a working space, thus communication and presentation skills would be a necessity procurement. Seemingly in Estonia, the prerequisite for getting a job in an IT field, would be simply to have skills and proof for it. For example a bachelors degree, showcase of projects or events (e.g. Hackathon) that one has partaken in,...

Help keep the flame wars under control I think the o ppenness and freedom of speech and thought is something that has been changed over time, as earlier days of the internet, it was still hard to grasp mentally how the cyberspace works and how little attachment it used to have to their personal lives. As there were no ties to their real life in earlier times of the internet, people were a lot more expressive or even exessive in voicing out their anger, maybe even "trolling" other's as a means of relief. Nowadays many social accounts are tied to eachother and a lot more info is put out on the internet, making it possible in some cases to track down the specific person behind an account or user that has commited a certain action. Thus people being a lot more respectful in general areas of the social platforms, but there are still sites where people use anonymous accounts to type or express unfathomable thoughts. However there are advantages of igniting a flame war to certai...

 Copyleft Copyleft is used in the form of licenses for granting the right to freely distribute and modify intellectual property. The distributed and modified version of a work also have the same copyleft rights as from the original. Strong copyleft These licenses demand that all software that is made by altering the original must retain the license of the original.  This kind of software is also difficult to integrate into hybrid systems which consist of software with different licenses. Good example of strong copyleft is the GNU GPL. Example: GNU GPL The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0). The freedom to study how the program works, and changing it as you wish (freedom 1). The freedom to redistribute copies to anyone (freedom 2). The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to anyone (freedom 3). Weak copyleft While also requiring the retaining of the license, weak copyleft licenses set some exceptions in order to allow better software...

 I would want to start by sayin that I agree about copyright getting a bit out of control to say the least. DMCA in Youtube for example, they would take away all credit for the effort that was put in by the video makers, editors and actors alike, even if a music clip of less than two seconds was used, all the monetization, that would've gone to the channels owner, would then go into the pockets of whoever owns the song and probably a small cut of that to the DMCA enforcers as well. Taking away all credit for a fraction of a sec of copyrighted music, is not right, what should be done instead is, if a fraction of an entire video, movie or other type of video media that is copyrighted was used, then the credit should be just as equally shared. Nobody would say it's fair to get full credit for having done 0,1% of the entire project. Thus brings me to the fact that copyrights are only done for financial reasons, greedy ones at that. Under no circumstances should it be allowed that h...

  CHALLENGES OF THE GLOBAL INFORMATION SOCIETY Himamen had written 10 global trends that were strong in progress since 2004 of which some would be finalized in 2010. The trends would increase the demand for care of welfare, make innovative jobs more needed and popular than ever and so would the need for education and experts rise as well, as more developed countries cannot rely on routine jobs, which get then pushed onto cheaper countries such as China and India. Himanen then goes to show the analysis of the economic models that are used around the globe. Silicon Valley model - The American neo-liberalist model (the predominant model) Singapore model - The Asian staterun model (emerging model) Finnish model - The European combination of the information society and the welfare state As the world is having trouble dealing with the cons of their models, in the analysis he specifically revised the European model into something that also supports the growth of welfare. The objective be...
