Summary of Lecture: Creative uses of internet technologies
Some cool websites:
*Google maps- (disaster map): connection to other servers to depict emergency/disaster zones in the world.
*Speed test-speed of broadband from one location to another. Great visual way showing how the internet interconnected
* Personas- characterizing names by going through the internet and matching words with names
*These websites were not possible a few years ago- the internet has come very far
*These websites represent two things:
*PortableApps.com- software on your memory stick: See below
*Open office- free version of Microsoft office
*Eraser portable- erases your hard drive- both free and paid programs to do this
*Key logger- records every single key stroke that is that. Save it to a text file and read it. Employers use this frequently.
*Freewaregenius-looking for these creative sites, free software
*Google wave- the next generation of email. Combination of email and a chat window. It is a real time application. You do do documents together, manipulate photo’s together etc.
* Net art- making artwork with the browser being a canvas.
