Topic: consequences of believing in false myths about technology
Purpose: To Inform my audience about the consequences of believing in false myths about technology.
Introduction
I. Attention Getter: Have you ever heard myths concerning your phone or maybe your tablet or even your laptop? If you have, did you ever believe them? Did you ever think of the consequences if they were wrong? Well today I will be taking about some of the most common myths that are actually false about our gadgets and their possible consequences.
II. Credibility Statement: I constantly come across different myths concerning my gadgets and I am always skeptical about them at first. So I always research about them and I even experienced some of the effects of believing …show more content…

These myths are great time wasters.
1. For example, the myth that “if you don’t properly dismount your USB it will corrupt the data”
a. This is true, but only if you remove the USB while you are in the middle of transferring data.
b. If you aren’t using the USB at all, you can just detach it form your PC without any problems. This is extremely helpful if windows insists that your drive is in use even when it’s not.
2. Another one is “you shouldn’t use your phone while it’s charging”.
a. The truth is, no matter what we do if your phone is not off it will always be running different apps in the background. So using your phone while its charging is fine.
b. Although if you’re using a really heavy app, the battery would probably heat up and as with most electronics long term exposure to excessive heat will degrade the item.
B. They make you needlessly spend money.
1. The more megapixels the better the camera.
a. This is true to a certain extent but at one point the human eye would not be able to distinguish the difference between the higher resolutions.
b. The most important aspect of the camera is not the resolution but the size of the sensor which is responsible for capturing the …show more content…

They can expose you to security risks.
1. One of the most common beliefs is that mac books don’t get viruses.
a. This is absolutely wrong. Mac books being an electronic device that uses software just like windows PCs can also get viruses.
b. Although the chances of getting one are much lower than PCs running windows. The most common reason is that there is less chance for profit for hackers because there are more people who use windows.
2. Wi-Fi networks with a passcode are safe.
a. This is true at times, like with your home Wi-Fi but public Wi-Fis like those in coffee shops and airports are not safe even though their password protected.
b. Since anyone with a password to this network can connect to it and because it is very easy to just ask for the password you would still be connected to a possible hacker who would like to look into what you’re doing or steal you’re information. This makes the password almost useless for protection.
c. Another thing you might want to take note of is that there are two main kinds of Wi-Fi passwords. Namely the WEP and WPA types of encryptions, If you wish to actually make a secure password or encryption, use the WPA encryptions because they are extremely hard to crack. The WEP encryption on the other hand, can be cracked in mere seconds or

    The main difference of a WiFi to Token ring and Ethernet networks is that it does not require a physical media from the source to the receiver to create a network and establish a connection, although WiFi would not compete with speeds of data transfer of an Ethernet. A WiFi connection is made by using a wireless adapter(that converts digital information to radio waves and back with antenna) to create a hotspots that allow access to internet service. WiFi technology is using 802.11 networking standards (802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11n etc. ) that will depend on needs for the user. In wireless networks there are two logical typologies that are use, a star and point-to-point (devices connect directly to each other and do not need access point device to communicate), in general WiFi speed is on average 20Mbps, however it can vary on many factor like distance between users and source or media radio waves has to travel through on the way to the user and

    Security: Routing protocols should have security techniques. The routing protocol is highly susceptible to security attacks, because of the inherent features of WSNs, particularly in military applications. 5. Multiple Sources: Almost all of the available routing protocols in WSNs are planned for single source multicasting. Although a multicast group may carry multiple sources due to different types of services or applications simultaneously offered by the network.

    When asked what a network is, I usually think about the internet or my phone’s network. It had never occurred to me to go further in depth on the subject. In order to fully understand what a network is we must look into what all networks have in common. All networks whether they are a broadcast, a computer, or a business network (the list goes on) all share common traits. There exists a hierarchy within each network and the more connections one has, the better.

  • Summary Of Nicholas Carr's How Smartphones Hijack Our Minds?

    1556 Words  | 7 Pages

    Carr brings up the question of how our minds can be negatively affected by this when he asks, “So what happens to our minds when we allow a single tool such dominion over our own perception and cognition?” While Carr is aware that the smartphone serves a countless number of useful purposes and tasks, he believes we should think deeper about the lesser known effects of our smartphones which people so easily allow to take over their lives. Carr begins his article with statistics, stating that the typical smartphone owner checks on their phone over 80 times a day, which translates to almost 30,000 times a year. He calls smartphones our constant companions, comparing them to teachers, secretaries, confessors, and gurus. In fact, Carr includes a 2015 Gallup survey which found that “more than half of iPhone

    the fear appeal will be more successful. One example is if people do not stop cutting down trees, oxygen will slowly be depleted until there is not enough to sustain the world. A second example is if the world continues to pollute the environment through developing and using technology as well as wrongful places for garbage disposal, humans, plants, animals, and their environments will be affected by global warming. The next principle is that by increasing the intensity of the fear appeal through evidence and a credible speaker, there is a higher chance of success that the fear appeal will work. A strong fear appeal will cause the audience to be persuaded into making a change.

  • Analysis Of Informing Ourselves To Death By Neil Postman

    In only a couple of decades, technology has imbedded itself into people’s lives, to the point it would be difficult to live without using technology. In Neil Postman’s speech “Informing Ourselves to Death,” he explains how not all technology is being used for what its original purpose was, and how people are starting to drown in the useless information technology gives. Postman also makes the claim, “And therefore, in a sense, we are more naïve than those in the Middle Ages, and more frightened, for we can be made to believe almost anything” (5). Though Postman gave this speech about thirty years ago, this accurately describes modern society. Technology was meant to help people learn and improve their lives, but it has instead increased the naivety of the world.
