The Information SuperHighway, Email, The Internet, FTP, BBS, Modems, : all buzz words which are becoming more and more routine in our daily life. Confusing terminology? Hopefully it won't be in a few minutes, all you need is to have a handle on a few basic concepts and terms and you will be on-line with the rest of the "telecommunication experts". These terms all refer to some type or aspect of tools associated with a range of computer-based communication software and hardware. They are in fact far less complex than the instruments we use on a day to day basis as microscopist's and microanalyst's. The key is for each of us to know what each is and how to make use of the wealth of information which they can make available to us for the asking. Basically all of these items relate to mechanisms and protocols by which we as scientists can easily exchange information rapidly and efficiently to colleagues in the office down the hall, or half-way around the world using computers and various communications media. The purpose of this tutorial/paper is to outline and demonstrate the basic ideas of some of the major information systems available to all of us today. For the sake of simplicity we will break this presentation down into two distinct (but as we shall see later connected) areas: telecommunications over conventional phone lines, and telecommunications by computer networks. Live tutorial/demonstrations of both procedures will be presented in the Computer Workshop/Software Exchange during the course of the meeting.

So instead of being tempted to buy from free and discount schemes, it is important to consider such websites and their 'non-refundable' policy and the complicated and lengthy process of returning items. Nowadays everyone recommends shopping online because of their busy and fast life. The more convenient it is, the more troubles can arise.

We are in the era of Industry 4.0 with the world going towards everything, everywhere, and anytime with “things” being enablers of technology. Our world is becoming smarter with everything (mobile phones, cars, TVs) connected to each, having unique addresses and communication mechanisms. It is foreseen that by 2025 every little thing, like pen, paper, food packages, etc., would be operated over the internet by internet of things (IoT) towards a smarter world. However, in order to enable the smart world to be sustainable, IoT should be embarking into energy efficient (green) paradigms. Since IoT is also a key enabler for smart cities, a green-aware design of smart cities could see a potential to create a green IoT ecosystem for smart cities. This ecosystem would comprise the green IoT lifecycle, the six pillars of smart cities, and focusing on the green infrastructure, green applications, and green energy. This conceptual study would motivate researchers embarking into smart city projects and keeping green concepts intact in their design and implementations.

In the following, we would briefly summarize what the literature says about important factors that affect online shopping, which forms the basis for us to speculate on factors that may be important for consumers shopping via their mobile phones, the latter being one kind of online shopping, which should resemble to some degree other forms of shopping on the Internet as far as important factors affecting consumer behavior is concerned. Hypotheses are then formulated, which is followed by the methodology. After presenting the results, we discussed the implications and conclusions of this study.

Since long before computers were even thought of, data has been collected and organized by diverse cultures across the world. Once access to the Internet became a reality for large swathes of the world’s population, the amount of data generated each day became huge, and continues to grow exponentially. It includes all our uploaded documents, videos, and photos; all our social media traffic; our online shopping; even the GPS data from our cars. Big Data: A Very Short Introduction explains how big data works and is changing the world around us, the effect it has on our everyday lives and in the business world, and it considers the attendant security risks.

We have all become increasingly aware that, for commercial and perhaps other reasons, our use of the Internet can and is being tracked. For most of us this tracking has become a major concern as unwanted e-mail (commonly called SPAM) has begun to clog our incoming mailboxes.  There are a variety of ways to combat both the tracking and the receipt of unwanted e-mail. One of the ways of dealing with this problem is the use of an anonymiser service, many of which are available over the Web.
