Blog Post #9

 I experienced one instance of phishing just this last August. Around August 7th, 2024 I got a notification on a phone web browser that a virus was threatening to release on my phone unless I entered my account information. So, I did and told my mom about the next day and I realized how bad I messed up and was tricked into giving up that information. I really thought that my computer was going to catch a virus, so I panicked and gave up my account information. My father and I went to BECU on August 9th and got it sorted out. The people who did it got caught online and I got my money back on August 20th.  I have not faced other instances of cybercrimes. However, I once watched a real-life video of a thirteen-year-old girl make up rumors about her friend online. I believe the story was that the girl being bullied online didn't invite the girl who started the cyberbullying to her birthday party days earlier at school. So, she got angry and made up false rumors about her. After ot...

There are managers who hire new employees based on thorough review of their resumes. In the next decade or two, AI will be able to screen resumes on a machine and decide whether or not to hire that person for the job. Receptionist or Secretary jobs may completely be erased from the job market because a well-trained AI could do repetitive tasks such as that. AI can save important computer data, manage files, make phone calls, type, and process paperwork just like a person can. Everyone working in tech, programming, and accountant jobs will be let go. These people will be unemployed because a machine took over their jobs they had been in for years' worth of retirement. AI and ML could come together and provide platforms where humans teach other humans how to use technology in a more developed way to rethink the way we use technology every day in our society. Right now, it is in our schools and certain companies use it. The average human stumbles through it, but an AI technology exper...

How is it that Yahoo is still accessible to users and Prodigy, CompuServ, AOL, Delphi, and Genie are not from this Dot.com Boom? What was the Second International World Wide Web about and what were the results of that conference in 1994? To me it seems that even though these companies were slow during the boom from 1995-1997, they still managed to have hundreds of thousands of users during at least the first year. I see the process of funding a business similar to those who go on Shark Tank. Money is fuel or food for a business to stay afloat. You cannot have a business succeed without money in funding to get started. Like the businesses that go on Shark Tank compared to other companies, they gather money from family and friends, have angel investors, collect grants and patents, and come up with bonds made from equity shares to the public people to raise capital. What is OVP and IPO? What was the DrKoop.com website about? I believe that it was a good idea for students to create support...
