3.3 The Essential Eight

Emerging technologies are constantly reshaping our digital world. Eight key technologies that are currently transforming the world include the Internet of Things (IoT), Augmented Reality, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Drones, 3-D Printing, and Virtual Reality. It's important for everyone to have at least a basic understanding of these advancements.

3.2 QR Codes, NFC, and Snap Tags

QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes that, when scanned with a mobile phone, provide instant access to relevant websites. Snap Tags are similar but offer more interactive features, working without a special app or the latest phone model. NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, like RFID, allows wireless communication, but only at close range (around 4 inches). NFC is widely used for "tap and pay" services and other applications, such as accessing menus with a tap. NFC chips are small, affordable, and powered through magnetic induction from nearby devices.

3.1 Blogs, Wikis, Social Media, and Forums

Social media includes content communities, blogs, forums, podcasts, social networks, and wikis, often with overlapping uses. For example, both forums and social networks allow for conversations, either synchronous or asynchronous. Forums, typically organized by topics, are used for discussions on everything from car repairs to niche hobbies.

Wikis, on the other hand, let anyone create, modify, or delete content, making it a collaborative space. Unlike forums, where your post is yours, wikis share content ownership with all participants, though this opens the door to potential misinformation.

Blogs differ from forums as they are author-centric, with the author presenting their thoughts and inviting comments, rather than fostering direct back-and-forth discussions.

Ultimately, people use different social media platforms based on their needs for communication and information sharing.

2.3 Transfer Information on the Internet

Cloud storage enables productivity, collaboration, real-time file sharing, and email communications, allowing users to send attachments or share files through services like Google Drive. For simple file transfers, smaller-scale services such as Filemail, WeTransfer, and Send Anywhere allow you to send files without signing up for an account, though they often have limitations on file size and availability. Paid options are available for larger transfers.

Additionally, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is commonly used for transferring files over the Internet, especially by web developers. FTP works via an Internet protocol, allowing users to log in using an FTP client (like WinSCP or FileZilla), navigate directories, and transfer files between a client and server.

2.2 Cloud Storage and Productivity

The cloud, though a modern tech buzzword, has existed since the advent of the Internet. As the humorous phrase goes, "There is no cloud, it's just someone else's computer," meaning the cloud stores data on remote servers, not your local machine. It enhances productivity and reliability through tools like webmail, data storage, and web-based apps such as productivity suites and social media.

Cloud storage is widely used to store, back up, and share files across devices, with popular services like Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, Apple iCloud, and Dropbox. These services typically offer free basic storage with paid options for more capacity.

Cloud-based productivity platforms like Google Docs and Microsoft Office 365 allow users to create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations without downloading software. They also support real-time collaboration, making them ideal for work and personal projects from any Internet-connected location.
