Study Notes
Crisis Mapping and Ushahidi
- Ushahidi exemplifies the value of free software in crisis mapping, showcasing its effectiveness in critical situations.
Vaccine Research
- Sophisticated modeling software accelerates vaccine research, enabling faster production and discovery.
Digital Divide Impact
- Legislation allowing per-website charges negatively affects the digital divide.
- Decreased sharing of work has no impact on the digital divide.
Crowdfunding Platforms
- Popular crowdfunding sites include Kickstarter and GoFundMe, facilitating fundraising for various projects.
Subscription Business Models
- Bike-sharing services, such as Citi Bike, represent a subscription-based model that leverages technology for efficiency.
Computer Literacy Essentials
- Key components of computer literacy include:
- Recognizing and avoiding spam, adware, and spyware.
- Utilizing the web effectively for research and communication.
- Diagnosing and resolving hardware and software issues.
Current AI Research Focus
- Significant AI research areas exclude cognitive surplus, while natural language processing, knowledge representation, and perception are key focuses.
Ethics and Behavior Statements
- False statement includes the idea that unethical behavior is synonymous with illegal actions; some unethical actions may not be prosecuted.
Identifying Personal Ethics
