i dont understand, will this "splitting the net" still be under a specific internet provider ??

basically these companies will be King/God companies because now they will make more money by practically controlling the internet allowing companies like amazon, apple, and Facebook to even be possible.

this could affect a lot of gig-workers like people who find jobs on craigslist and also many new apps that allow gig-workers to work such as delivery service apps like uber eats, door dash and the new ever so popular Postmates app. Not only will workers face problems but this will also be terrible for the companies themselves

when remixing videos or songs or movie scenes, that is allowed if it is a parody, because parodies are implied to be created for comedic purposes. There it is acceptable to copy another artists work and remixing IF you are creating a parody.

To use another's copyrighted work, you would first need to prove that you are employing "fair use". Thus, you can take another's work without permission. A "de minims" defense can constitute as fair use, meaning the the portion of the text that you took is so minimal that it doesnt matter. And also it could not be from the main meat of the work - such as the famous "I am your father" line from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

The "elite" that the author is referring to are the Romans who spoke Latin long ago. I learned how to read and write Latin for four years in high school, and since its a "dead" language - no one speaks it now.

this kind of thing happens with Syria every single day currently and refugees in the middle east and Asia. the least amount of attention is always directed towards the heartless murders and deaths that happen daily. there was an article about people in India are all caring so much about the sudden death of a popular indian actress but no one is concerned with the hundreds of little children that die daily in syria

after being built, its quite shocking and even funny to think that the creators of the "internet" didnt even realize what its true purpose was for. They hadnt pre-measured or visioned the true potency of such a network. it was an invention with no definite goal but turned out to be one the most useful invention/tool of mankind as of yet

why was there a shift or what caused the shift between using the "internet" and internet protocols such as TCP/IP from military purposes to simply personal purposes today??

it is usually almost always that new media or new technology is released/made during the time of war. similar to companies gaining a competitive advantage in the market, countries in war want to always gain the "upper hand" in order to win the battle so they develop groundbreaking and revolutionary techologgy that no one can stand a chance against. Some examples include atomic bombs during the manhattan project and WW2 and nuclear energy detecting planes.

when we allow our items and possessions to be connected to this world wide web, to me its analogous to when a private company first releases its IPO - meaning it goes from being private (essentially behind closed doors) to open and public for the world to invest in and practically know all its information from revenues profits, etc. so by connecting your "things" to the internet you are intentionally forfeiting your privacy and now your personal item has become a public item. do we really want this? will we even be able to own anything anymore??

there is an Amazon store in seattle i believe that has no human person operating at all. it is regulated managed supervised and fully operated by machines and sensors. As soon as customers walk in, data starts to collect and there are sensors, cameras and GPS trackers on almost everything. When customers pick up an item they can walk out the store and whatevr they purchased will be billed to them later all through this smart tech. I think this level of innovation, although convenient is becoming creepy and also losing many jobs

i saw a video about this about a month ago and i thought it was a scam. an investor was persuading everyone to invest in this "next big thing" which seemed highly unrealistic at the time to me. But now i come to realize that anything is possible in this crazy tech world

RFID is so prevalent these days its unbelievable. There is a barcode on almost anything. This is the most easiest way to identify, count, and even track an object. Now, even QR codes are becoming the "black". QR codes are everywhere - similar but different to a barcode. QR codes serve personal purposes more for the individual and not the commercial. You can look up a product review, do a survey or cop and paste an app address. they are so common and feels like the digital world is trying to dominate us.

the term eversion when describing the digital network could also be argued to be in a sense it was all bundled in a very small entity and no one really asked of it until now it is ubiquitous and widespread. Basically it was all on the inside and "low-key" to being very known and prevalent (visable) in society.

I agree - the word cyberspace has become very uncommon. I remember not too long ago I had opened a document from an email without saving it onto my desktop or computer RAM so when I exited it - I couldn't find it. My brother had said its because the document is in cyberspace. The word did sound very archaic to me as it is not an everyday word. We are more accustomed to hearing the internet or "online" nowadays.

this could be also due to the fact that analog entities can be accountable for many human errors (for example, reading the time wrong or taking an estimation of the time using an analog clock as opposed to precisely stating the exact time on a digital clock , etc

ill never forget why analog is called analog now

so "digital" does not only mean that something must be an integer between 1 thru 10, but its more along the lines of the commonly used binary system in almost all devices and electronic softwares which allows functionality of the digital world as we know it

i would say Bing is a web 2.0 for google - a very unsuccessful one but one that tried to compete against google

I would say that most free online websites generate income from ad revenue these days. They would offer you free information but have a bunch of ads in the margins that we may or may not always click on

Wikipedia is the only online encyclopedia I grew up with and had it not been for Baruch, I would've never known what Britannica Online is haha
