What 'Digital Innovation' do you feel deserves the title 'Revolutionary' and Why?

Digital innovation is the introduction of new digital things or devices.There are many new things being invented everyday, but somehow they are barely revolutionary. Revolutionary things causes remarkable, drastic changes, and they collect rapid attention. New inventions like Iphone, Facebook, Twitter, and youtube are likely to be candidates for revolutionary digital innovations. For me, i think Facebook fits the title the most. People used to connect their friends by phone or MSN. Facebook is a new way to connect old friends and meet new friends, which is much faster and convenient. People can easily know what their friends are doing and things happened around by viewing others status or posts. They can also share their stories by uploading photos. Friends can play online games together just by having a facebook account. People can also view some interesting videos, articles or photos by "sharing".

What are your thoughts on the App Store?

App Store is a good digital innovations. The good appearance which they provided attracts lots of users. However, it also has some benefits and drawbacks. App Store is a convenient for apple product users. customers can easily find their products on App Store instead of searching them on the web. Also, the safety can be ensured. Users can download or purchase products from App Store without worrying about virus which may harm their computer. Products like software are constantly updated, so costumers can easily up-to-date their computer and Ipad. However, the drawback is also obvious. Because of the compatibility, Apple limits users to only using Apple products. This may causes monopoly, which may affects the price. Unlike PC users, customers have to purchase certain products in order to get their Mac or Ipod function. PC users can choose their products from various companies like SONY,DELL,etc..

six senses: Choose one and discuss a real-world example that demonstrates it

People love to listen to stories. We can meet story teller everyday in our life, such as our friends, teachers, colleagues. A good story teller is always tractive. They may succeed in other purposes through telling a story. For instance, friends can tell you how they have fun while hiking, which can also encourage you to go to hiking with them next time. I personally think professors should be a good teller. Professor as a story teller in class is always popular and it's a good way to keep students's interest and motivates them. Philosophy courses may sounds a little bit academical and boring. However, I had a experience with a philosophy professor who really knows how to tell stories. While sharing a story he made up, the teaching part also ongoing at same time. It is easy for students to remember the points in his teaching while remember the story. Therefore, his class attendance is great. I have not skip once of his class because of the great stories. I don't feel hard to understand what philosopher says because everything in their book is translated into stories.

talk about your views/concerns about the future of privacy

For people who don't really use computer and don't have ability to fix their computer when face problems, software like kaspersky plays an important role. While fixing the computer problem and killing virus, the software automatically upload data and information on your computer. Because we do not know what information it uploads, we really worries about privacy problem. There was a online battle between antivirus software and chatting software in China recently. The reason was because of the chatting software says that the antivirus software shares users private information to make profit. So this make us think who should we trust even those antivirus problem who pretended to be your friend are actually cannot keep your privacy.

"the classroom: virtual versus physical"

I believe both virtual and physical teaching has certain advantages and disadvantages. For physical classroom, like most student familiar with, people can contact easily by viewing each other's voice, gesture and body language. Also, it makes easier for attendance marking for teachers and students, unlike virtual classroom, is hard to affirm if the student is the one in reality. However, it also has some drawbacks. For example, Students cannot could miss the lecture for various reasons, such as traffic. With the technology of virtual classroom like second life, students can attend class without really going to the school and stuck on the road. Virtual classroom is convenient for students that is busy or live far away from school, it can reduce the rate of absence. Students can easily goes to school online and listen to a lecture even they find it's impossible to get to school in such short time. However, for virtual classroom, students may not having much contact with professor or other students, when facing a problem or missed certain parts of the lecture, they cannot ask a student beside them. Both virtual and physical classroom has their own advantages, if combine the advantages, the disadvantages can be solved easily.

“what should web 3.0 be about?

web 2.0 we are using right now connects people together, people are the creator of information. web 3.0 can do much more than web 2.0, it develops artificial intelligence so knows what users demand and need. while web 2.0 are able to search and give numerous information, web 3.0 can organize what user really searching for. web 3.0 is not only on the laptop and mobile phones, but also cars, and other equipment around our life. therefore, everything in our life connects together rather than what we are using right now--that all electrical devices are separated. we can get anything through internet, such as clothes, drinks that we cannot get from web 2.0. life will be much easier with web 3.0, because it's much more convenient and precise.

Deep Packet Inspection delays transmission of online data. I believe that other than spy users's data, DPI does no help to other aspect. in the name of protect the safety of internet, government can easily view users's usage which really affect the privacy. Privacy is over when facing DPI nowadays. However, there's always some informations of people can be shared, and we do not have to push the privacy problem to an extreme limits.
