Universal internet access to combat poverty
This article is about Mark Zukerbergs the co founder of Facebook opinion on the importance of the internet. He said that there should be global access to the internet by 2020, in order to create a united world where we can all understand each other. He described this objective as a 'to do list for the people of the planet' and pitched to the United Nations, "a like or a post wont stop tanks or bullets, but when people are connected we have a chance to build a common global community" this highlights the importance of the internet, which allows people to communicate worldwide as-well as give people the will to stand up for what they believe in. This newspapers expresses the importance of the internet for social change.
- global access to the internet by 2020
- objective as a 'to do list for the people of the planet'
- wont stop bullets or tanks, but has a chance of building a common global community
- an affective way to combat the UNs newly adopted agenda of global illness.
In my opinion this is an effect way to get people communicating globally, and may help people stand up for what they believe in as the internet is desensitised. Also because they can see issues of other people from different countries it may help them empathies with them as a result connecting the world. However I don't think the having access to the internet is the most effective way to deal with poverty, because people will need homes and food before they can start paying broadband bills.
Amazon launches gaming and 4K streaming fire TV update
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/sep/17/amazon-launches-gaming-4k-streaming-fire-tv-update
Amazon has moved into the 4K content with a new fire TV box and ultra-high definition content through its video streaming service. They claim that this has been the best selling box on the market in the UK and Germany, beating Apple. Also, the new Fire TV is 75% faster and handles 4K content; it has a more efficient compression system for full HD content which allows many users to stream 1080p video even with poor connection. Furthermore, the company had released a new games controller with headphones and voice search support, claiming to have the largest games library of any media streaming service with over 3,000 apps, games and channels available through the Amazon apps store.
The box has instruction videos and Amazon's built in live person techs support called May Day, which guides users through features and settings via the phone and with a remote control.
In my opinion, I argue that Amazons new Fire TV is very useful as it allows consumers even with poor connection to watch movies or games in ultra-HD content. Its so annoying having to watch them in poor quality with poor connection and so this new TV solves all our problems. However, it only allows the audiences to watch content from the Amazon app and so movies or games which you really want to watch may not be in their store. But overall, it is a good invention to sell.
- Connection speeds of at least 15Mbps will be requires for 4K content.
- Ultra-HD content
- The new Fire TV costs £79.99
