EPIC


Okay but my question is what is Friendster? and when was it ever popular?
Actually, scratch that I looked up what Friendster is/ was... for those who don't know (like me) what this site was, it was to begin with a social networking platform that was founded by Jonathan Abrams and the company had a goodish run till about 2015. The platform became a social gaming site, which originally based in California but now it is in Malaysia. Alright so enough with that, Epic was a very interesting short film altogether. I would have to say that maybe if I did not know what google and amazon were... maybe live under a rock... and that's not to discriminate in any way... but both platforms are enormously popular. With this film saying that these two platforms came together that's what made me sit in my chair and really think if that was a thing... which it wasn't btw, but after looking up if it was a real thing and all... ya know cause I didn't trust my mind at that moment.. turns out like I thought it was fake so then I had to play the video back and look up all the facts past the beginning part where I know some of what is going on, and found out the start of all the rest of the lies start from the 3:24 second mark and on till the rest of the film I’m pretty sure! But they almost had me!

Startup.Com

Startup.com was very insightful I imagine that it is hard to start up a company and this movie shows that. There are a lot of factors that go into creating and maintaining a business, not only that but you have to make sure that who you are working for has the same plan in mind or you come to a divide that could ultimately shut your whole business down, which is what we kind of saw with the situation between the two co-founders, they were not on the same page which was a main factor in the demise of this company. Another factor to the website not being successful was the lack of uniqueness from other sites. I feel like when you go in to make your own company you have to think about the possibilities of other people doing or thinking the same things as you, I think a little more research into the kind of work that the founders wanted this site to perform and if others were doing it those things and how they were doing it would have gave this team a better view on how they could be dif

Email = Postal Services

Hmm so what came first is the question. the egg or the chicken (I think that how that joke goes). Well the same can be asked about the email and postal services. Although we all know the Postal services came first, but it’s just so similar to email one could ask which came first. Some similarities include the option of mail forwarding. In the postal service world, you can forward your mail to a new residence if you are leaving your old one and still would like to receive your mail, similar to that if you just want to forward an email to another email you can do that, as long as you have the forwarding address for both. Just like with postal services you receive your mail at a specific address that hopefully you only have, just like an email address its just yours and the mail comes directly to you.  I didn't really know how similar the email and the postal service was until I really thought about.

WIWFC

What I hope to gain from this class is a firmer understanding on the basics of technology and how the world is slowly being taken over by it... or it? its questions like that that make me want to know more like at the beginning of class on the first day when you asked us about AIs... it's just crazy how powerful technology is and what is to become of it in the near future.. so maybe just a little help on using the technology and not letting it use me or us! I'm also looking forward to getting more information on Technology and that major because it's not a major that I haven't actually looked into it yet so some knowledge might be great to have.
