The lecture was presented by Jason Nelson and he touched on the interesting and creative use of the new technologies. He introduced us to quite a number of cool websites but the following were of much interest to me.
· The speedtest.net which tests the speed of the internet and it connects to any server around the world.
· Personas-uses sophisticated natural language processing and the internet to create a data portrait of one’s aggregated online identity... http://personas.media.mit.edu/personasWeb.html.
Jason also talked about portable-apps , a computer program that can be carried around with on a portable device and use on any Windows computer. When a USB flash drive, portable hard drive, iPod or other portable device is plugged in, one will have access to his/her software and personal data just as an individual’s own PC. And when the device is unplugged, no personal data is left behind.....cool stuff!!!
Key logging software-software which records all the keys struck on the keyboard. This is usually used by companies for security reason and in a covert manner so that the person using the keyboard is unaware that their actions are being monitored..
