Case Summary Jim Davies needs to recommend a workable technology strategy for Enterprise Systems Group (ESG)’s mission critical enterprise computer systems, comprising both PC-based and proprietary servers and workstations. ESG provides mission critical applications to its client’s web-based IT infrastructures and business processes. This is the high-end of the industry, dominated by mainframes (for large corporations), internet servers, workstations and supercomputers (Verlinden & Christensen, 1999, p. 1). The important question is to determine whether HP should continue investing its resources in extending the capability of its UNIX-based Performance Architecture built on the proprietary HP RISC microprocessor or whether the company should…

In the book, Outliers: The Story of Success, by Malcolm Gladwell, the author is challenging our views of how people become successful. He is saying that to get to where you want to be you can’t rely solely on hard work or determination. It takes much more than that, something that many of us don’t get; opportunities. If you want to be successful, you need a series of opportunities that present themselves to you at the right time, to put you ahead of everyone else. He proves this idea in chapter…

INTRODUCTION Interactive learning is a learning system that combines together the effect of social networking and urban computing within the same curriculum. Interactive learning has become dominant from a round 2000 and this is due to the increase in the number of people involved in the digital technology and virtual communication. It is a system where the boundary between the educator and the learner means completely nothing and the educators can no longer be regarded as the keeper of…

My Response to Ritchin and Balsamo. From the four reads of the week by Ritchin and Balsamo, my main takeaway from Ritchin was the advancement of digital photography and how it has made it easier for photographers to tell their story through imagery, plus the added effect that tells a false story and Balsamo the unconscious consequence of technological innovations on culture. “Photography, as we have known it, is both ending and enlarging, with an evolving medium hidden inside it as in a…

OVERVIEW: I AM DIGITAL™ 101 The time to bring “I Am Digital™” literacy in the mainstream of American communities is now.

Digital Privacy Without privacy there is no freedom. Conversely, without security there is no country. Imagine a chaotic world where citizens live in constant fear of what could happen to them, because of the lack of safety in their country. Terrorism has especially been an issue in America, and with the growing number of threats, it is impossible to tell when or where domestic attacks may occur. The government should have every right to access digital information of their citizens, to maintain…

We are known as the digital native 's, if you put all of us together on an island we would honestly not know how to survive. Ever since we were children there have been cell phones, or computers to distract us when we were bored. You then have the digital immigrants who are now adults that grew up with out technology and had to learn how to communicate with it as they got older. People born in the digital native era have a different kind of knowledge then digtal immigrants do. There are two…

DIMENSION SEVEN: THE RELATION OF THE OLD TO THE NEW Defining change and a digital workplace Change is inevitable. Change is significantly apparent in ‘New learning’ or ‘21st learning’ as there is a substantial amount of research contributing to the idea of transforming learning environments, in turn, changing ‘classroom’ or ‘learning space’ dynamics. Change can be relative. Cuban (1993) explains that for some teachers substituting textbooks, deciding to implement technology such as computers…

need for digital literacy has fallen way to the need for digital literacies. Fortunately Allan Martin in Digital Literacies for Learning puts it in more measured and useful terms, with a focus to enable educators. “Enabling education in a digital environment means not only changing the form in which learning opportunities are offered, but also enabling students to survive and prosper in digitally-based learning environments… Traditional notions of literacy need to be challenged, and new…
