Almost every device is now updating. The Internet of Things, or IoT, refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, all collecting and sharing data. Computer Programming Smart Devices First Phase
World War II marked the creation of the first
electromagnetic calculator. This device weighed about 5 tons, that’s eventually developed using transistors in 1947. Second Phase
During the 1970’s, the development of personal
computers started. This is made possible by chip technology and magnetic discs which made bulky computers fit a desktop. Second Phase
This technology made word processing, accounting, and
graphics easily available to the public. Third Phase
Microprocessor, also know as the logic chip, were
eventually invented which reduced the cost of processing power of computers. Fourth Phase
Soon thereafter, small connections were made so that
computers were able to communicate with each other. This all started in small distances then eventually broke the distance barriers which gave birth to the internet. Fourth Phase
These days, we still see newer developments which make
our Internet connections faster, thus improving this technology. Fifth Phase
Wired connections were already a huge advancement
for the Internet, but to travel to different places while still being able to browse websites, update your social media status and search Google were all made possible with wireless technology. The People Power Revolution lasted from 1983 to 1986. During a radio broadcast of Radyo Veritas, Cardinal Sin encouraged the Filipinos to help end the regime of then President Ferdinand Marcos. A major protest took place along EDSA from February 22 to 25, 1986 involving two million Filipinos from different sectors. These included civilians, political parties, the military, and religious groups. The radio broadcast helped change the course of history. Without it, Filipinos would not have been moved into action. This is also known as the 2001 EDSA Revolution, happened during January 17 to 21, 2001. It was fueled after 10 senator-judges and 11 prosecutors of then President Joseph Estrada walked out of the impeachment trial. As a result, the crowd in EDSA grew over the course of a few days through text brigades. Like the first People Power Revolution, EDSA II would not have been successful without the text brigades. This is a series of protests that mainly took place in Rizal Park from August 22 to 26, 2013. There were also several demonstrations that happened around key cities in the Philippines and some locations overseas. It was to condemn the misuse of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF). Though dubbed as the Million People March, the number of total attendees was only around 400,000. Despite that, it was still considered a success and clearly demonstrated how powerful social media campaigns are. The organizers and promoters of the Million People March used Facebook and Change.org as their media. Recent storms in Philippine history gave birth to the Person Finder database powered by Google. During typhoon Yolanda, the People Finder was a vital tool for people across the globe to track the situation of their relatives. This proved to be successful and is now adapted by more organizations to help people track relatives during calamities. Change.org is dubbed as the “worlds platform for change” where anyone from the online community can create a petition and ask others to sign it. During the past times, petitions are only done through signing a paper, usually done by a group asking for signatures via travel. Change.org gives access to more people by allowing the online community to affix their digital signatures on a petition. Change.org’s mission is to help people from around the world to create the change they want to see. For years, Change.org hosted several petitions that help solve the following problems: economic problems, criminal injustice, abuse of human rights, lack of education, environmental concerns, animal abuse, human health concerns and world hunger.
