What is a favicon? Ans: Favicon stands for favorite icon. It is also knows as shortcut icon, website icon, tab icon, URL icon or bookmark icon.  Its a file containing one or more small icons. Its associated with website or webpage. So f you visit a webpage There will be a little icon or picture representing your page. How do you make favicon? Ans: There are many ways you can create a favicon. You can go online and there are free websites where you can make a favicon. Its basically a logo. but instead there will be byte. Like literally bytes. So there will be height and width so you can decide how your favicon will look. Then you color each byte of pixels. so you can create a picture or a figure that represents you or your page. For me I used code.org  so i had to write binary to create my favicon. Because i had a bits per pixel and it was set to 6 so i had to write 1and0 six times and in different order to create or find colors and I made my favicon. there was a log list f...

Team builds flexible new platform for high-performance electronics A team of University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers has created the most functional flexible transistor ( a semiconductor device with three connections, capable of amplification in addition to rectification.)  in the world — and with it, a fast, simple and inexpensive fabrication process that’s easily scalable to the commercial level. It’s an advance that could open the door to an increasingly interconnected world, enabling manufacturers to add “smart,” wireless capabilities to any number of large or small products or objects — like wearable sensors and computers for people and animals — that curve, bend, stretch and move. This can be really good for the future because now you can monitor everything. Like how much you ran, where you are or maybe record your health status. also this will be really helpful for old people. So if they forget something the technology can remind or record data so you don't loose stu...

New Electronics Convert Hissing Sound to Improve Signal Scientists found out a new way to use hissing sound to improve signals. So the next generation devices will have the hissing sound. The hissing is called " stochastic resonance". Scientists believe it will be a good idea but if we only depend on that the connections wont be as good. we need to improve our networking system as well. we need to upgrade our network system if we need to use the SR method. based on text " SR-based electronic devices require a signal detection threshold and the presence of additional noise". so we need additional noise to use this method which I believe will be hard because the old devices doesn't have the requirements to use SR. 

Current technological innovation The release of iPhone 8 The newest phone iPhone 8 was released on September 22. And it was one of their greatest looking phone. It was made with all glass and supported wireless charging. It also have one of the most popular camera in the world. It also have the worlds most strongest chip. It also had a good camera with smart editing features. so you wont have to edit pictures and it has special filters and modes to make your picture look beautiful. It has a 12 megapixel camera which can capture a lot of details and make your pictures look grate.

1.The layers of protocols used in network communication is an example of abstraction. Can you give other examples of abstraction in everyday life? When you browse to a web page, maybe with some animated advertisements embedded on it, describe in detail what happens behind the scenes to display that page on your browser. 2.Discuss how not knowing some basics of how a software tool or computer works, and the abstractions they use, could lead to bad outcomes. Answer: When u have limited knowledge or no knowledge on a software you don't know what people can do with that software. Such as redact  information form government document like in the case of caliper. The US government and online form of their report which was redacted meaning censored or covered. The redacted version was then uncensored and released. this happened because the people who redacted the report didn't realize what could be done with tool open to the internet.  Programs suck as adobe acrobat could have easil...

1. It is interesting to think about the foresight (or luck?) that caused initial Internet designers to choose a packet-switched network as the basis for the Internet. What do you think, foresight or luck? Answer: I believe it might be a little bit of both. Internet designers foresaw that we would have to send bigger message in the future so they tried to avoid putting a limit in messaging size that can be sent. According to the book "....they create this packet switched network. This is also luck. Sometimes things happen in my real life that makes me think about what could have happened if it gone differently. We can never predict what could have happened. This is why the choosing of the packet-switched system can be considered to be lucky. It's lucky that things turned out to be what it is right now. 2. What do you think the Internet would be like today if different companies’ network protocols were still competing for adoption for the Internet, instead of TCP being the...

1.Why does the internet uses IP address? The internet uses IP address to identify and locate users or device that is connected to the inter. 2.Why don't we need to know the ip address? We don't need to know the Ip address because every ip address has its own name. 3.Why do we need a Domain name system? We need a domain name system because it makes it easy for use to find a website. Its lime the name tag is easy to remember then An id number. 4. Why don't we all maintain our own DNS? We don't maintain our own DNS because
