Wiki So Far


While I have not made any contributions to our course’s Wiki page, I have mapped out and researched a few topics I feel as if would enhance our course’s Wiki page. One topic that has always interested me and is being tested right now with Stay-at-home quarantine orders to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 illness is remote education. Beginning in high school with the introduction of Google Classroom and remote tablets such as iPads, I have been exposed to technology within the classroom setting for years now. As the presence of technology within the classroom grew in my experience, I began to question the future of face to face learning. Once I reached higher education and became exposed to distance learning here at Baruch. As CIS 3810 being my first fully online class ever, my childhood daydreams of education being fully online became a reality; at least for the mostly limited selection of fully online classes you can take at Baruch. However as Governor Cuomo ordered the CUNY school system to remain closed until the next semester, Baruch college along with many other universities around the globe decided to transition to distance-learning. As a result, my childhood daydreams of education being fully online not only became a reality, but the norm. Therefore, for a portion of my Wiki contributions for this class, I plan to research and develop a thesis on the possibility and the probability of education turning into distance settings forever.

With the world completely coming to a stop and transitioning to working from home during the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic, the desire for new types of media to keep operations afloat during the stay-at-home orders are at an all time high. In regards to today’s assignment, I would like to create a new form of media in the scope of business and education. To explain, the textbook industry is one of the most lucrative sectors within the education system with the American education system purchasing millions of dollars worth of books per year. As all offices in America cannot operate at full capacity, many writers are currently at home. However, with the current strength of the internet, these teams can still access their information databases from their homes. As a result, I would create a textbook writing software in which multi-headed textbook creation teams can efficiently piece together textbooks for next year's upcoming school season. What would make my software unique from all other

Privacy

The earliest examples of the Government curbing the privacy of societal member was seen during the War on Terrorism. Following the September 11th attacks in our homeland, the American Government loosened legislation on privacy laws in regards to technology, in an attempt to enable governmental agencies, such as the NSA, to better protect the public and their interests. By opening up previously restricted channels of surveillance, the route to losing essential privacy within a society facing constant technological advances was mapped, and more significantly, inevitable without Government involvement. As a result of the Government failing to restrict the commerce industry from exploiting the previously restricted channels of surveillance, corporations are utilizing the loose privacy and surveillance laws to gather all sorts of information on its customers. With technology exponentially advancing on a daily basis, and the drive of corporations to make profits in increasingly competitive
