Hello everyone,

I'm Mohammad Motahedian , my interest is web designing, listening to Hip Hop Music, working on entertainment websites such as VOD websites which will offer free Persian Videos, Movies, TV shows, also I have designed many websites in this fields like Perspolislivetv.com , Pars-TV.com and etc.

I'm Computer Science student at De Anza College.This is my third year at De Anza College, and I really like this community college because of good staff and higher education. Also I'm taking CIS 2 class in Summer 2015 which will offer many valuable and useful information for computer students for their better understand of this field.

1. Introductions 

According to article Howard Gardner: ‘Multiple intelligences’ are not ‘learning styles’ I'm agree with that people have multiple intelligences and a strength in one area of intelligence does not necessarily imply strength (or weakness) regarding other areas of intelligence.So in this reason each person has different kind of style for learning and different style of intelligence.It was interesting for me that it detailed the good solution for educator while they want to teach in class for getting the good results from the whole class not just " one size fits all" learn about each students in class.

  Charles Babbage becomes known as the Father of Computingand the inventor of the first universal digital computer with his design of the Analytical machine which used Jacquard punch cards.

I selected this for Computer Geek's History because it was interesting for me to know that first digital computer was designed with Jacquard punch cards. The punch cards was using in mechanical loom. it was amazing when some one figured out the first digital computer inspired by mechanical loom.

Privacy, risk, data collection

In this website you can see the result of the survey that shows how teens 12 to 17 years old are worry about privacy when using mobile apps. While some are nonchalant about the kind of personal information some apps collect, more than half avoid some apps due to privacy concerns. Girls were more aware than boys of the risks associated with location tracking services in many mobile apps .they often turn off location services.

in this article says ,”People live within social networks and communities, and as a result things that we say can spread through these networks and come back to bite us in the rear. We are all exposed to the danger that something we say will be overheard and spread around.” It means with exploring of internet and cyberspace we are losing our privacy too.

6. Midterm - Millennium Development Goals 

http://thetechawards.thetech.org/laureates/myagro

This article discusses about saving money and accessing to the bank acount which will cause the major difficulty in the West Africa for the rural farmers, and how technology helps these farmers. According to the article just 75% population of the west africa are rural farmers, and just 7% of the people have access to the regular bank account. Most of the farmers has difficulty to saving their money for fertilizer and seed. My Agro is a technology platform which helps rural farmers to save their money for planning for planting season and solves some problems such as accessing to the bank merchant stores, and will act like a bank account, but the difference is they just pay on layaway for fertilizer, seed and training packages by getting myAgro cards, similar to how people buy talk-time for their phone in developing countries. Besides the myAgro having some training packages regarding productive planting and fertilizing techniques which will offer micro-dose fertilizer trainings,Planting trainings,Off-season vegetable to farmers to higher their knowledge.By this technology the clients will make more income, and it will have solving to MDG by helping farmers to avoid of getting non sufficient funds for their plan also it will help them by getting advice and training from professional experts.

This problem is important for me because in my country our farmers still have some difficulties for saving money for getting fertilizer and seed also they need training for planting and they need to ask their questions from professional experts, similar to myArgo training packages.

I read this article and it’s interesting that how solar powered water filtration system helping poor people in Walumbe Uganda Africa to use safe fresh water instead of drinking contaminated water which will cause the sanitation-related diseases. Also this technology will help poor people to use water in low cost close to their home otherwise they need to go to the some other village that will take 2 days to reach by foot to provide drinking water.

The solar technology is the best way to build and expand the poor regions in the world also it's the best option for preventing disease and hunger.Because it can help in farming, communicating, educating and electricity.

Every day the relationship between technology and society is being closer, so we can observe new innovations in this field. For example recently Bloomingdale's has introduced smart fitting rooms in five store locations. These fitting rooms have wall-mounted tablets where selling associates and customers are able to scan merchandise items to view other colors and sizes available and, in many cases, see additional product information, product ratings/reviews and recommendations on complementary items to “complete the look.” Most importantly, customers are able to tap a button to call for assistance from a sales associate without even leaving the room. This can be a call for general assistance or a specific request for another color or size in items they like.
