Today on the class of Informatica 103, we first spoke about the threat of the ever expanding Coronavirus, where a website of the university was stated in terms of looking up reliable information of the virus and also the procedures that will be taken if one were to catch the virus or it becomes too widespread across the country.

Instapaper

Instapaper is the latest program that we’ve been introduced to by our professor today, in which is used to bookmark certain web articles, small comments or even whole pages if need be for later use in other devices and such.

Evernote

It’s the other program that was newly introduced into the class, where it can take notes, data management, images and others in the internet to find and share easily with others, along with letting you analyze or see these comments in better detail.

Introduction of the use of notes in Google

As was shown today, you were able to create notes onto Google itself, seeing much use in Gmail pages and can be checked out in keep.google.com, or the sidebar in the side bar of the gmail (second icon on the bar.) It can be used to sync up with your mobile calendar and take notice of notifications of certain events you may have there. You can also see your calendar on the top icon!

Privacy vs the Internet

In the past decades, the internet has been a great tool for humanity in looking up, storing and keeping information that others may use, alongside other things. But it has also caused many issues in terms of keeping yourself private against the world. The fact that the Internet itself was used to store up information has to be taken in consideration when you’re speaking about or showing yourself out there, especially since other hostile forces can use it against you, even facial recognition can be used against you if there’s enough images of you out there to replicate. We have to take notice of how much information you give out and how much do you trust in the people you’re sending it out to.
