Things I Love

Things I love

If I think about the things I love I would probably end up with a HUGE list of things I love to do.
Some of those things are:

Watching movies

 

One of the things that I love is watching movies on a rainy Sunday night, with popcorn and hot cocoa. I love drama movies, also romantic, but that doesn't mean that I don't like comedy movies or even actions, all type of movies are good to watch in a Sunday night.

Eating sushi

But if I had to say what thing do I really, REALLY LOVE is sushi. I could eat that for days and never get tired of it, I just love seafood. So every time that I have to describe a perfect day to me, it has to include eating sushi.

Assignment 8 and 9

.org -  Part of the Internet address of many organizations or individuals that don't fit any other top-level domain (com,edu, or gov). (.org domains are usually limited to non-profit organizations.)  
.com - Part of the Internet address of many companies. It indicates that the site is commercial, as opposed to

Animation is also one of the most important ways to show how motion in film is actually an illusion generated by the way our eyes acquire information (in discrete images) and how our brain processes it. 
There are many software applications that enable you to create animations that you can display on a computer monitor.
Stop motion animation is a simulation of movement created by displaying a series of pictures, or frames.
An animation key frame is a single still image in an animated sequence that occurs at an important point in that sequence; key frames are defined throughout an animated sequence, in order to define pivotal points of motion before the frames in between are drawn or otherwise created to "tween" the motion between the two key frames. One example of key frames could be an animation of a swinging baseball bat; the bat at rest would be one key frame, and the bat at the end of of its swing would be another. All other frames would be "tweened" frames
Animation starts with ind ependent pictures and puts them together to form the illusion of continuous motion.
Normally there are 12 frames per second in high production animation.



 You must write at least 3 sentences for questions 1,2,5, and 6. You should answer in your own words and will need to do internet research to complete the assignment.

1. Go to http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/new-fantasyland/ and look around it a little bit. Now go to http://www.byteland.org/angeloflife. Now why do you think the .com website is more exciting than the .org website? 
Because it looks better than the .org website. The .org website has all information just typed without anything that might get your attention. The .com website has a lot of transitions and it also makes the reader to be interested on reading all information that the website provides. 
2. Why do you think the Disney website has more hyperlinks, advertisements, and other distracting options to click on?
Because it has a lot of animations to click on to make it more interesting. All those animations link to a website and that way even without knowing the person who's seeing the website will catch al the information without even knowing with images and stuff. Besides the .com has more profit and that way they can have more options of things to do to improve the image of the website.
3. If you had to construct/create your own webpage from the beginning, what would you want it to be about and why?
I would like to do a webpage about fashion because I am really interested in fashion. Besides I've always wanted to be a journalist. I also think that nowadays people are more interested in fashion and material stuff so it would get peoples attention easily.

4. How many programmers do you think would have to work with you to make your website possible? Would it seem impossible to construct/create a webpage by yourself? Why? 
I would probably need to work with a few friends that way they can help me with new ideas to keep the website updated and also with something new everyday.


5. What would you want to name your website? Type that name into the web-address bar, is it taken already?
It's not taken already.
www.fashion.com

6. Explain why webpages with flash videos, images, and color take longer to load than pages with only text?

Assignment 7

1. What problems does the article mention that children run into when they use search engines?

Kids do not know how to formulate the exact keywords to look up for what they're actually looking for. They only think like kids. For example if they're looking for the new president , they  would type in " who's the new president?" and this would not lead to the answer they're looking for.

2. What suggestions have been offered for how search engines can improve their product to lessen children’s problems searching?

Google is thinking about modifying the Google search into more of a picture search. This would be just like an IPhone or an Android that has voice recognition, this way it would be easier even for kids that are disabled. Google is also thinking about doing a Google Robot, because this is what kids actually want.

3. Do you search using keywords or questions? How does the article characterize these two types of searching?

I've tried both using keywords and typing in the direct question.The article talks about how important it is for users to only type the keywords to make the search faster. However, some people do not know how to write down what they're looking for into keywords.

4. Have you tried using images or videos to search? How does the article characterize this type of searching?
Yes, I've tried searching with images and is really effective. It gives you all the information related to that you are looking for. I consider image searching more effective than by typing. The article says that this type of search is really effective and it is even more effective for kids.

5. What advice would you give to Internet search engine developers (like Google or Bing) for how they should improve their product? Do you think any of the improvements mentioned in the article are particularly promising? Why?
I think that it should be improved by making picture searching more common or more useful, somehow, inverting more on that. Making the keywords more specific rather than too general. Thinking about the person who's going to search, and making it more easier for them, for example kids.

Assigment 6

1. Do you think the results are 100% accurate? Why or why not?

Yes, most of the answers are opinions, so you can't really tell if they're accurate or not because they mainly express their preferences in daily life situations.

1. How much of an impact do you think the wording of the questions has on the answers you received?

No, I don't believe the way I wrote the questions affected or influenced the way people should answer my questions, it was more of a common type of writing for them to express themselves throughout the questions

1. Did you get the results you expected from your online polls? Why?

Well, I did not really expect something in particular, but the answers I got looked pretty much like how I would answer those questions if I was answering the poll, so yes, I did got the answers I expected.

1. If you wanted to do an online poll with the students of Technologico de Montorrey asking them how much time and effort they spent doing homework this year, what are the steps you would take to complete that online poll?

Ask questions about each class, and then ask for their opinion for each subject, after that then I can do a poll that is based on the survey.

1. Do you think online polling could help the administration of Tech de Montorrey find out more about their students? Or do you think that the results would not be accurate? Why or why not?

Yes. the results would obviously be accurate because students are always trying to make the environment in the one they're studying a better place, so it would be an excellent idea to help improve Tec de Monterrey

1. How do you think the results of your polls would be different if you asked your classmates the questions in person?

most of them would be afraid to say what they really think, but if you ask an online poll most of the students won't be afraid and would answer with the truth, that way the results would be trustworthy and you could use them for any purpose.

1. In what ways do you think online polling using Google Spreadsheets can be improved? Or was it easier to create an online poll than you originally thought? Explain.

I think that Google is enough simple and easy to use so users can do online polls with no problem and the only thing that I would probably improve is more different designs that users can use to do polling more fun.

Assignment 5

1. In your own words describe how the workplace culture at Google encourages innovation and unique creations for the company? How does working at Google and the environment there affect its workers?
The workers in there work even better because they can feel free to express themselves, they can do what they want, things that you would never imagine, such as gym, free food, massages, laundry, cars, all of that for free for the employees to feel more comfortable and for them to like their jobs, if they like their job they would eventually work better and the results of that better working would make Google improve even more than usual.



2. How does employee freedom, like the 20% of free time Google encourages its employees to spend on any project they want, deliver better business?
  Because the employees can just do something wild, out of the usual, something that they think that would make google better, it improves a lot the way google is friendly with the users and it also makes the people feel more relative to the program. The employees have that 20% of their time to do anything they want, any wild idea, modification project they have on mind that I they think is a good idea google would automatically modify google to that idea, that also makes the people that work there to feel like their ideas do matter in a huge way and that what they do if is creative would be taken into consideration.


3. What are the requirements to work for Google? And what is different about the way they hire employees at Google?
You need to be really creative, creative enough to come up with designs, to think out o the box and think different than others because they would obviously wont need a normal person but someone that has potential an that's worth the try, you need to be able to work with a team, have leadership because most of the time you would be working with a new project in the one you have to be the leader and come up with great ideas

Every day Google answers more than one billion questions from people around the globe in 181 countries in 146 different languages

5. In your own words discuss how Google's constantly refined search algorithm changed the way we all access and even think about information.
Having algorithms does really helps people specially when you're not really sure about what you're going to search so you jut type in a few words, and it also makes the search easier because it immediately searches for information that they consider accurate, which most of the time is right.

6. Take a look at the following story about Google's top secret data center. Now why would Google want to keep its server room as a secret?
Because if everybody could access to the data center the way that Google works could be copied from other search engines, and then Google would no longer be unique or special and yet not the best searching web page world-wide.



7. What are the benefits of working as a Google employee?
There are many services and is a friendly environment. Its all amazing, from getting free food, to free doctors visit and much more. You have free time that you could spend it in the library or in other places and the offices are different making working for Google a joyful experience.
you can clean your clothes in their installations, there are different restaurants and you can eat in them by free, also there is a room for the employees that has fish tanks so they can relax and after it work better, also they have sleep balls.

the prefer that the recent graduates create heir own companies that to work for a company that is already one of the best ones in the world, the want new companies in the market to make competition to Google.
He thinks is no longer a start-up because he thinks is better for working in a small company. If they worked for a small company they have more responsibilities than just following a crowd of people. Is better to do and accomplish someone's little idea or project and make it happen.

11. How is Google the same or different than other search engines, like Yahoo or Bing?
Google gives stuff for free while Yahoo and Bing doesn't. Google is the leader in Searching all over the world and in addition a very mature and sophisticated search engine.
