Criterion B
The IT system that is being used by the Face book website and all other websites are based on three components. The first component is the database that is being used and this database is basically a network of connected servers from all around the world. The standard internet protocol (IP) then uses the process to transmit data and information by packet switching. Another component to connect to the internet is by using web browsers, a web browser is a software(figure 1) that enables the computer to display the features of the web site that is being used, text, images, videos, music, and much more, these are the main information that are located in a web page in the internet and the world wide web and these software’s are standard software’s located any personal computer like internet explorer, Fire fox (figure 1), Safari, and many more.
Figure 1
Three main technological developments that led more and more people to use the internet are very important for the Face book website. The speed of the internet is a very important feature because now that the standard internet protocol (IP) increased the process to transmit data and information by increasing the packets for packet switching and this is very important for the Face book website because now people can have quick access to the website to the information. The other development is that now people can have huge storages (memory) to save and add their information and this is mainly because the files have gotten much smaller and much more accessible. Another way for people to have easy access to these websites is that now people can have quick and easy access to downloads, insulations, and much simpler processes to follow.
The future will even be more optimistic the internet providers and servers will have to even boost the internet speed even further (see figure 2). The internet will even become more accessible to people, for example maybe we don’t need to have a network in our house because we could connect from any place in the world immediately from our computer to our internet provider, just like the current mobile phone. There will be further development to make the internet even cheaper and affordable for people to even possibly use broadband connections.

criterion A 2
Face book open profiles to public
Facebook has now opened a new search option to show information of private users to the public, these moves will likely anger private user’s and cause a lot of problems. Facebook, one of the most used social networking website will give the option to allow any one who isn’t even registered to search for any picture’s and information of user’s in the Facebook website, even though they are private information. So if you have private pictures and information on the Facebook website don’t be amazed if practically anyone in the internet could be viewing them right now. Plus Facebook is a way for students and university candidates to interact with their studies by posting pictures and information for experiments or studies that they have conducted in other countries. Although Facebook will also give the option for any registered user to vary their privacy settings, the closing window for this setting is in a month’s time.
Facebook, Facebook is a website in the World Wide Web. The internet is a network of connected servers from all around the world. These computers are connected by internet service providers. Browsers are used to access sites on this network. TCP-IP protocols define the rules for access.
If Facebook was to show their users private information on the website, then it could be interpreted in an eccentric approach. It could be interpret it as a place were people won’t have their privacy and my opinion is that it’s a place were other people would just enjoy viewing private pictures and information of other people because of their immaturity and the tendency to abuse people’s privacy. Then the next step will come along and people would enjoy viewing explicit images and sexually provoking posts.
