Ten Commandments by Virginia Shea

 


Ten Commandments by Virginia Shea

This week’s reading was about the Ten Commandments by Virginia Shea and I think it basically explains everything that we need to know before entering to cyberspace.
I have chosen the topic; Know where you are in cyberspace and I would like to share my opinions regarding it.

For me, knowing where I am in cyberspace means that I should be able to pick the “language” that I want to use on different websites, communication channels. It is really not the same to be a part of the community in your workplace or a community with your friends where you share your funny videos. In many cases, emojis, abbreviations, and informal language are not acceptable. In other cases, if you use formal language, you will get the opposite effect from others. Both of these cases will have the same effect; People won’t take you seriously.

Now that almost everyone has the internet in their pocket, response time is decreasing rapidly.
Being part of different communities in cyberspace often require prioritized response time.
If I response fast, I can show that I value this community and I am happy to spare time for them no matter how busy I am. However, if I reply every first or second day, the effect will be the same as last time. They won’t take me seriously.

Lastly, the value of shared information. Depending on the community, the value of my information won’t be the same as in others. There are places in cyberspace where sharing facts, research-based information is highly appreciated, but there are somewhere your information does not bother anyone. Maybe, they won’t even read it because they are too long. We will get the same effect as in my previous two statements.

To be honest, I don’t want to share any of my experiences even if I had many. Learning your place in cyberspace is not something that someone born with, it comes with misunderstandings and conflicts.

Thank you reading my blog post!

History and importance of Voice Recognition

 At this week blog, I would like to write a bit about voice controllers. This technology may sound quite new, but even in the 20 th century, there were works regarding this topic. In 1952 Audrey created, that understood numbers spoken by specific people. Later IBM create a Shoebox machine, that understood 16 words, in English. In the 1980s the Hidden Markov Model [1] was altered the development of voice recognition on the software side. In the beginning, this kind of technology used template words, but with this technic, they could measure the probability of unknown sounds and words. Just like in everything, developments came in place, however even in the 2000s this technology quite expensive and wasn’t easy to implement. In 2008, hardware and software were developed enough to create a portable and easily usable speech recognition tool. 2008 was the year when Apple first implemented voice search into their Phone, which made Google innovate their own technology. It created space on

Ergonomics example

Today in my blog I would like to bring you an example, which was a great ergonomics design in a sport called waterpolo and two another devices that were designed by Playstation then became disasters. Before 1956, waterpolo was played with leather ball, which was really slippery and ugly. It was almost impossible to grab it, so players had to hold it from the bottom. [1] After 1956 Olympic, there was a guy called James R. Smith, who redesigned and introduced the new official ball, which was made of a rubber fabric. It improved the performance and the speed of the game, also the ball was not stinky after using it for a while. [2] Maybe it does not sound that big of an invention, but I think many sports was much faster and enjoyable after forgetting leather balls. The wrong example is really funny. Actually, I brought two of them. I can’t believe what was the plan of these designers. Jogcon, [3] was invented to help people at 3d racing games, because there were no cursors on contr

Hello everyone and welcome on my blog. My first blog post is going to be about 3 IT failures, that is a bit close to me. I hope you will enjoy my writing. You can find all the materials I used on the bottom. Let me start with a fresh 2020 failure; Cyberpunk 2077 It was reasoned that we except the highest quality after games like the Witcher series from CD Project Red. The hype around this game was massive since 2013, however when the game came out the players were not that satisfied, even if the game was the fastest selling game of all-time. Originally Cyberpunk was designed to Playstation 4, however it doesn’t have enough power to run a massive game like this. Because of this, creators decided to lower the quality at some places to help rendering the maps. Do you know what happened? Let me show you on a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqEMEjJj4hs Not only that, but the developers had to work overtime, still did not get any payment for those hours and everything is burn
