Discovering Flickr


Figuring out Flickr was a little confusing for me at first, but I watched a few Youtube videos and soon figured out what I was doing.  Adding tags was easy, where I had trouble was actually trying to upload photos.  The first one I uploaded and didn't even know it.  Then I couldn't figure out what I did, so that's where the Youtube videos came into play.  

The tags I used:

The founder and chairman of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman, believes Web 3.0 will be focused on data and how we use it.  He stated in an interview,  "This is where some massive innovation will happen that will transform our lives."  He also said data will come in two forms:  explicit and implicit.  Explicit is data is what users willingly give and implicit is collected from the background.  There are also two types of data sets:  tightly held sets (passwords and credit card numbers) and open sets.

47 million Americans do NOT use Internet

In 2015, a study was conducted showing that about 15 per cent of Americans do not use the Internet.  The study included 5,005 respondents with a margin of error of about 1.6 percentage points.  That equates to approximately 47 million Americans.  The factors that mostly affect whether people get online are age, ethnicity, and household income.  Adults aged 65 and older came in at 39 percent who do not use the Internet.  Adults 18 to 29 years old came it at only 3 percent.
