Critical reflection

In my video I attempted to look at the phenomenon of gamification through a learning perspective. I deliberately decided not to make too much of an emphasis on academic learning because I wanted to frame everything in a way that would reflect our daily experiences. After all, every day we learn something new, and it does not necessarily happen consciously all the time. How successfully you are able to learn has a lot to do with your ability to concentrate. This is the issue I have devoted the introduction in the video to. I made the shots just a ...

In 1980, baseball players entered into a strike that lasted for eight days as they negotiated to retain the free agency policy that allowed them to play for any team. Their wishes were granted and the strike was called off. Other reasons that necessitated the cancellation of the strike was the fact that the players were not paid during the strike, especially in spring training. Although the last days of the training were interrupted, the start of the regular season in 1981 continued as planned. To some, all was well until later in the mid-season when the players for ...

The major issues demonstrated in the video are the lack of respect and bad attitude towards the teacher and learning in general. This is evident in the video. The students are not keen on listening to the teacher since some have earphones and while others are busy talking while in class. Some of the students are also mimicking the teacher. As such, with this kind of behavior, it will be nearly impossible for students to obey instructions from the teacher or participate in class activities such as asking questions or engage in discussions.

Is Password Security Becoming Obsolete?

Is Password Security Becoming Obsolete? The use of passwords as entrance to secure sites is quickly becoming a thing of the past, as well it should, for a number of reasons. Passwords are generated by software programs and people to guard access to personal computers, websites, mobile telephones, and other types of technology. However, the users of technology are becoming more uncomfortable with the lack of security provided by passwords and with remembering all the passwords needed for such data as credit card numbers, health information, and bank accounts (Luukkonen, 2015).

For instance, the generation of reports by an accountant can be laborious when done manually. However, a computerized system will allow the accountant to generate reports quickly and allow more time for other tasks. Additionally, automation ...

“There is only one thing that people agree about technology – it is important” (Kline 215). Indeed, it is hard to underestimate the role technologies play in our lives and the level of their integration into our everyday activities. In the age of technological progress, we do not wonder the new technologies that appear almost every couple of months and humbly accept and use those of them that become radical. Like other people, I use various technologies regularly and for different reasons, from calling my Mom and friends to entertainment and studying. However, it has not always been the same. ...

The practical world requires managers and executives to make several decisions during their career paths.

Therefore, it is important to establish proper guidelines and processes for effective decision-making that help reduce uncertainty in most decision-making situations and aid managers in making well-informed and carefully thought-out decisions.

The following sequential decision-making framework can act as a guideline for both personal and organizational decisions.

Identify the problem. List possible solutions. Evaluate all solutions. Choose the best solution. Communicate it. Implement it. Evaluate the results. The 7-step process is neither comprehensive nor conclusive. It only provides a general outline ...

Executive Summary

A contemporary workplace without at least minimal tech infrastructure, such as PCs and laptops connected to a corporate Ethernet is hardly imaginable nowadays. At the same time, the practice demonstrates that the demands of technological modernity are continually evolving, and for many companies staying in line with the developments of technology is either organizationally impossible or financially unaffordable. Thus, statistically 44.59% of all global PC and laptop users still use Windows 7 and 7.65% have Windows XP installed, although Microsoft stopped maintaining the both operating system (VMWare, 2015). Because advanced operating systems require renewal of a corporate subscription and ...

Introduction

Something that is disruptive overturns or changes the traditional way of doing things and in its place introduces an absolutely new way of doing the same old thing. Disruptive technology, therefore, can be described as a technology that displaces an established technology and in the process introduces a new groundbreaking product or service to the market (Rouse, 2014). Disruptive technology disrupts the status quo of the market, changes the way people live and work, and rearranges the pool of values. This inevitably forces other companies to either change the way that they approach their businesses or risk losing market ...

Claim

It is extremely legal for manufacturers in the United States to intentionally practice planned obsolescence in the design of their product.

Explanation for the Claim

Planned obsolescence is a business practice of deliberately designing products limiting its lifespan or making it unfashionable after a given period. The main purpose of this strategy is to make consumers feel the need to buy new products that the manufacturer will have provided.

This manufacturing strategy is widespread in America with digital device companies being the most notorious for its ...

It is common knowledge that every well-educated person should know, understand and appreciate music. However, no matter how well aware of various composers and genres people might be, many of us find it difficult to feel it. There are numerous examples of musicians who can technically perform a piece, but when you listen to them playing, you realize that you might as well listen to a robot. Only the emotion behind the melody gives music a truly human feel and makes it a universal human language that will be understood all over the world. Thus, it is extremely important ...

Many college students are expected to have their own personal laptops by the time they have started their first course. It is an understandable assumption since typing has taken the place of written notes for many students. However, there are cases where the student may have opted to have a desktop instead of a laptop for a better performance or they simply have not bought one. To accommodate this, (insert university) have placed computer labs in multiple buildings for students who do not own a laptop or left theirs at home. This is a good measure, but the number ...

Different types of cyber-attacks are perpetrated by different cyber-crime groups and the motivations for these activities are different. Some are known as white-hat hackers who try to hack networks to find the defects in them so that they can be patched. The black-hat hackers do the same activity for monetary or other gains. Others call themselves hacktivists and they do the hacking activities for socially and politically motivated purposes. While the legal response for some of the acts is straightforward, it is not so in all cases. The following case is one which brings about various ambiguities in the ...

Introduction

The law of demand tells us that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. That means if a producer reduces the price the demand for the product will increase and vice versa. But just knowing the inverse relationship is not enough for a business firm. It is more important to know the extent to which the demand changes with the change in price. Thus price elasticity of demand is an important tool to decide upon the appropriate pricing strategy. In this paper we are going to present the concept of price elasticity of demand, how it ...

Similarities: They are both slim and light and are portable and the Ports and connectivity options are also similar.

Differences: The physical keyboard is generally absent in the tablets (though some have attachable keyboards) so the main mode of user interaction is touch, making the interaction tougher for regular applications. They ...

Upgrade Potential and Capacity A desktop has the greatest upgrading potential over both a tablet and a laptop. It is easy to upgrade a desktop because nearly all parts of it can be removed and replaced with better parts. For example, one can increase the ram of a desktop to almost 8 GB ram. Upgrading of a desktop does not affect its performance, but improves its performance and speed. Even though, it is possible to upgrade a laptop, it is not recommendable because some upgrades are likely to affect its performance. On the contrary, one cannot upgrade a tablet.Costs Laptops ...
