Blog 5: Problem Statement

• Language. Use and promote the use of the new or adjusted language.
• Being found. Make a guide.
• Companies aren't outsourcing anymore. Make a company?
• Evolving hardware.

Blog 3: Interview Preparation

1. I plan to interview my mentor, John Rosales because he was my mentor during summer and it'll help prove that he know his stuff.
2. Additional questions:

• The internet is a network of computers, how is the network structure so that it connects all the computers together?
• How do the computers find each other?
• What is an IP address?
• There are many different computer languages, do you favor a specific language when designing a website or do they all have a their own situational value?
• What kind of hardware would I need in my computer to build a website from it?

Blog 2: Topic Choice

A.      My topic for the senior project is web design because I use the internet everyday and it occurred to me that i don't know how it works. I want to change that so that I may use this wonderful resource more effectively and I'm sure the internet isn't going to disappear anytime soon, so it'll be excellent job security if i enter the field.

B.

• iPoly Citizen: I plan to learn explore all the functions and abilities of the internet so that I may help my fellow students use the growing and evolving internet more effectively.
• Effective Communicator: I plan to make my website easy to use with a friendly user interface so that almost everyone can easily understand the purpose and capabilities of my site. This will force me to view my site from a different perspective to understand how other might interpret what i tried to express.
• Effective Learner: I plan to understand the technology that I'm using right now because the knowledge to use such a massive tool like the internet more efficient and effectively will increase my ability to learn on my own from the internet whenever I want.
• Effective User of Technology: I plan to learn why and how technology works the way it does because that will allow me to understand what the device is doing on a more basic level so that I may adapt should the core system process change.

Blog 1: Summer Mentorship Component

Contact: Jonathan Rosales
Cell: (626-488-9901)
Hour log and Description:

Date	Hours	What I Did	Total Hours
7/9/2012	2	Took notes on the history and theory of the internet.	2
7/16/2012	2	Took notes on the languages and languages types of computers.	4
7/23/2012	2	Diagnosed hardware problems for the server tower and learned how to test power supplies.	6
7/30/2012	2	Learned what a DNS is and how it works. I also took notes on the different classes of IP address.	8
8/6/2012	2	Learned how to setup and register websites. Then install the OS and finished prepping the tower to act as a server.	10

My ten hours with Jonathan have made me ask these questions:

• How do you create new languages?
• How many IP addresses are left?
• Is IPV6 there to deal with a growing shortage of IPV4?

The most important thing I learned is about the IP addresses, because that is how all of our computers find each other in the network.

This helped my choose this as my topic because it gave me greater insight on the device I'm working on right now and how it allows you to see it from most other devices on the network. I think that's interesting and our society is most likely going to expand and innovate in this field.
