Question 2

What is Augmented Reality?

Accepted Answer

What it teaches:

A high level introduction to augmented reality
Using it to find a restaurant
Using it to compare products, be entertained
A look at future possibilities of augmented reality

Video Transcript:

I think we can all agree that reality is pretty great. It’s what we experience through our senses like our eyes, and phones with cameras. The Internet is awesome too, but the Internet and reality have a hard time working together.

Thankfully this is changing quickly. New tools mean that the world around you can now be seen with a layer of new information from the Internet. Let's start with an example.

If you've ever seen a movie with a fighter pilot, you've seen the pilot’s view from the cockpit – but something’s missing. The pilot needs a layer of information that adds useful items to his view of reality. Recently, this kind of layer started working on your smartphone. But instead of flight data, you have data about the world around you. It’s Augmented Reality.

Let’s say you're hungry and at a busy intersection. There are multiple restaurants around you, but you don't know where they are or which one is the best. You could look up each one on a computer, or just take your chances. But now, thanks to new software on mobile phones, you can simply point your phone's camera at buildings around you and voila! Restaurants are magically highlighted and a layer of information about the restaurant appears on the screen.

Another example is shopping. You can point your camera at a product and see a layer of information about it, like prices of the same product at other stores in the area or on the Internet. And this functionality only requires a few things.

First, a smartphone with a camera to capture reality.

Second, a connection to the Internet for receiving the layer of information.

Third, software on your phone to bring it all together.

It also helps to have a phone with GPS and a compass so it knows which direction you're facing. Augmented reality can also work with a camera attached to your computer. You can hold products in front of the camera and see a layer of information on your screen that makes reality more interesting and even fun.

These examples are just the beginning. In the future, you may wear glasses that have a tiny display that you can see while walking. As you walk by stores, buildings, people and products, this screen displays information from sites like Wikipedia or Google. Suddenly your reality is richer and more interesting.

It's coming, but augmented reality has a long way to go. Keep your eye out for ways that augmented reality adds layers of information to your reality.

Question 3

What is World Wide Web?

Accepted Answer

This video introduces the system that makes up the World Wide Web, including explanations of browsers, code packets, servers and links. It teaches:

Where the information that appears on the screen "lives"
How the browser acts as a translator of packets
How servers are connected to create a web
How links connect computers to unique addresses

Video Transcript:

Have you ever wondered, when you visit a website, where those words and images come from?

These days, as long as we have an Internet connection, using the Web is pretty easy. We can visit billions of pages on things from pet alligators to the weather in Holland.

To help figure out how it works, let’s pretend we can get really small, follow the wires and explore what makes the Web work. In order to get to the Web, we need a connection from our home or business to the rest of the online world. This usually happens through the phone or cable lines, or even satellite. This connection means that information from around the world can reach our computers.

If we could see the connection, the information coming through it would look like little packets of code. It doesn’t make sense to most people. We need a translator, something that turns the packets of code into the words and images we see on a website.

For this, we use a web browser. It translates the information and makes it useful to us. But that code has to come from somewhere, right? If we could follow it to its home, we’d see that it’s coming from another computer. Not a regular computer, but one that’s built to make web pages available.

It’s called a “server.” The words and images that appear on our screen live here in the server. If there was only one server this would be simple. But there are millions of servers and web pages. We need a way to find a specific page on a specific server.

We do this with web addresses. Each server and website has a unique one. As long as we have the right web address, we can visit a page on any server on the Web.

The reason we call it a “web” is that all the servers are connected. We can easily jump from one to the other using addresses via our web browser. And we don’t have to remember all the addresses.

Web pages use shortcuts or “links” – words and images we can click, that direct us to page after page. These links create a web of connections that are easy to navigate.

Together, this system makes up the World Wide Web. So, let’s sum it up.

To visit a website, we type in a web address or click a link. The information for the website lives on a server. Itcomes to us as little packets of code, and our web browser translates this code into words, photos, music, videos, and links that help us get things done. Yaaay!

Question 4

What is Mobile Safety and Security?

Accepted Answer

We now depend on smartphones for access to our most sensitive information, so it’s more important than ever to keep them safe and secure. By learning a few simple practices, we can help protect them from being stolen, hacked or compromised by criminals. This video teaches:

Why keeping a smartphone safe and secure matters
How to use common security settings
How to prevent a phone from being stolen
How to prevent a phone from being hacked or infected with a virus
What you can do to keep your phone from being a target for criminals

Video Transcript:

Think about the information that really matters to you. These may be things like photos or videos of your family. It could mean files or contacts. Or credit card numbers or passwords you use for online banking. Today, all these things live on our smartphones and it’s pretty awesome.

The problem is that smartphones are small and easy to lose. They have different security than our computers and have risks that may not be as obvious. Let’s take a look at how we can keep them safe and secure.

Imagine you’re waiting for a bus and you pretend that criminals are near you and want the info on your phone. What can you do?

Well, the first thing is to make it very difficult to get into the phone. You can do that by using a unique passcode or something unique to you like a fingerprint or your face. Then, be sure to set your phone to lock automatically when you’re not using it. And the criminals may be watching. Enter the code so no one can see you do it.

And if you leave your phone unattended, even for a minute, it could be taken. When it’s not in your hand, put it in a safe place that hides it from view.

Next, remember that the criminals may be able to fool you into giving them access remotely. In public places, don’t connect to unsecured wifi because you may connect to a criminal’s computer instead. The same is true with messages that appear on your phone.

The criminals may send you texts, alerts or even phone calls that try to trick you into downloading a dangerous app or handing over information like passwords, credit card numbers and more. If it looks suspicious, ignore it and don’t click links you don’t recognize.

And you can be proactive. Is your phone’s software up to date? Using old software can leave doors open for the criminals to access your phone.

And remember that if your phone is taken or is infected with a virus, it may become unusable. By backing up your phone consistently, you can recover your data quickly.

Your choices also matter. Do you know the privacy policies of the apps and websites you use? Are you careful about what you share and how it may be used? Being safe with a device means understanding the risks and being careful about what you share.

For example, a photo you share may automatically include location information. To increase your privacy, you can choose to turn off location services completely, or on apps that don’t require it.

By taking a few actions and being aware, you be confident that your information is secure, backed-up and protected from criminals.

Question 5

What are Apps?

Accepted Answer

Within the last few years, applications or “apps” have gone from being big software programs on computers to small and downloadable apps on mobile devices. This video explains what caused this evolution and how it is impacting our lives today. It teaches:

The big idea of applications and how they work with computers
The role of “platforms” and how they changed thanks to mobile devices
The evolution to smaller, cheaper apps that become collectible
The role of online marketplaces for marketing and distributing apps
How apps are now becoming a part of browsers, social networks and game systems

Video Transcript:

The chances are you’ve been using apps for years. Your home or work computer has apps like a spreadsheet program, calculator or photo editor. Recently these apps, or applications, evolved in a big way.

Let’s start with platforms. You know, a place to put things. A table, in a basic sense, is a platform. You plug in some plates, cups and flatware and it turns into a great place to eat.

Computers work the same way. They create platforms for software applications. A spreadsheet and an accounting app can turn a computer into a business tool. Music and video apps can make a computer a studio.

For most of their history, apps have seemed big and expensive. We often bought them at a store and loaded them onto a computer with a disk. And most of these apps didn’t connect to the Internet.

Recently platforms have changed in big ways. Our mobile phones and tablets became useful platforms just like our computers, and this enabled a different kind of app. Instead of big expensive programs, many apps became smaller and cheaper. Instead of coming in a box or taking hours to download, they could be purchased or downloaded for free from the Internet with a click, even on the go.

This made apps collectible. For little investment, we could collect apps on our devices that reflect our needs and interests. One person’s collection may focus on gaming, another, business, or both. Now apps may wake you up in the morning, give you a snapshot of the news, play the music you like, help you get to the airport, check you in and help you read your new book all from the palm of your hand.

To support all these new apps, we need online marketplaces that make them easy to purchase and download. This way, small teams and large organizations have a way to market, give away or sell thousands of new apps.

And these new apps have another advantage. Many are built to work with the Internet.

So apps aren’t really new. What have changed are platforms and marketplaces that make them easy to purchase and collect for whatever you need to do.

Question 6

What is Encryption on the Web?

Accepted Answer

Encryption is fundamental part of using the Internet securely, but it is mostly invisible to the user. This video explains the basic idea of encryption and specifically the two types of keys that are used online: symmetric and public. It teaches:

Why encryption matters on the Web
An example of encryption used in history
The basics of private key encryption
The basics of public key encryption
How public key encryption works when using a bank website

Video Transcript:

These days we use the Web to communicate more than ever - and much of what we say is sensitive. From private email messages to bank transactions - we need ways to use the web with confidence. Encryption, which makes online communication unreadable, is what helps give us this confidence.

Encryption is an old idea. For millennia soldiers have needed a way to send messages that couldn’t be read by the enemy. Instead of writing a message using normal words, they substituted letters in a systematic and secret way.

This is called a key. This key for example, is “three letters” which means moving the alphabet over by three letters. And by knowing the secret key, the message could be decoded.

This basic idea is what keeps our communications secure on the Web today. Instead of using the alphabet, this encryption involves computers and serious math, so the code is nearly impossible to break.

On the Web today, most encryption in managed through two different types of keys. They are Symmetric and Public Key Encryption. A popular analogy goes like this…

Alice and Bob need to send private messages to one another using the postal service. They decide to use a box with a padlock and two identical keys, one for each person.

With the keys in place, they can send the box back and forth and open it with the keys. This is called symmetric encryption.

On the Internet this means that the exact same digital key must be used to encrypt and decrypt the message. And that’s a problem. If a key is lost or stolen, the whole system is compromised. And when more people need more identical keys, the risk goes up.

A more sophisticated way to share keys, especially on the Web, is to use Public Keys. In this example, Bob sends Alice an open padlock (or public key), and keeps his private key. She then uses it to lock (or encrypt) her box before sending it back. This way, when it arrives, Bob can open it without having to share his private key with anyone.

On the Internet, this means that a bank website can automatically provide a public key to your web browser.

With the key in place, banking information sent from your browser can be encrypted so the only thing that will unlock it is the bank’s private key.

Once it’s unlocked, and everything checks out, you can do business securely with the bank website.

It is this system, behind the scenes, that gives us confidence that information we share on the Web can be kept private and secure.

Question 9

What is the relation between Social Media and the Workplace?

Accepted Answer

To most organizations, social media represents a new and different style of communication. Navigating this new social landscape can be a challenge. This video explains how the world of communication has changed and how organizations can adopt new practices that account for social media. It teaches:

Why social media is making organizations rethink external communication
How one company confronts a crisis - and learns how social media can help
Why empowering employees to participate can be a smart strategy
How policies and guidelines in social media participation can help

Video Transcript:

These days people have new powers. Not that kind. I mean on the Web. We can create websites and post messages to the world with the click of a button. Blogs, social networking sites and Twitter - all make it easy. But this power comes with new responsibilities, especially when it comes to the workplace.

Organizations often monitor what is said about them in the media and control every message that comes from the company. But these days blogs and social networking sites mean that companies can't keep up - the media has become social. New ways to understand and react to what's being said online are new needed. That's why organizations are beginning to encourage employees to understand and be a part of online conversations. Consider this:

Chair Hero had made quality chairs for twenty years. Recently something happened: one of their chair models was defective and people were falling down. Soon enough, blogs, social networking sites and Twitter were all writing about their defective chairs. Within two days, they were overwhelmed.

The company started to panic. What could they do? What will work in this new world?

At first, they wrote press releases and posted information on their website. It helped a little, but they could see the conversations were happening elsewhere. They felt powerless, like they had lost control.

A potential solution to this problem requires a new way of thinking about company communication. These days, customers want more than just another press release - they want to have an honest conversation with someone from the company - often outside the company website.

To make these conversations productive and reduce the risks, companies need to have a few things in place:

Official accounts on popular social media sites
A way to monitor what's being said about them, using services like Google Alerts or Twitter Search
Guidelines that give employees clear direction

Let's look at how this works. Silas recently went through Chair Hero's training sessions on using social media. It's now a part of his job to identify and respond to people talking about the company online. Before responding to a recent blog post, Silas goes through a quick checklist:

He asks himself, Does this need a response? In this case, Yes - he can offer valuable information.

Is he the right person? Yes - He knows the facts.

So, Silas decides to get involved. Following the guidelines at his company, he introduces himself as a company representative and provides a short disclaimer. He's careful to speak in the first person and focuses on the subject and not the person. His goal is to be personable, respectful and never angry. In this case, he may just need to provide a link to clear up the issue and an offer to help in the future. Before posting it, he quickly makes sure no confidential info has been shared. The next day, Silas receives a quick "thank you", and an added benefit - his response will now be seen by others - and even appear in search results.

Silas was able to take a risky situation and turn it into an informative message - without taking the rest of the company's valuable time. He added value and built trust with customers - and that's the main role of employees using social media, whether is a crisis like a defective chair model, every day customer support or just sharing information.

The web is too wide for a company to control every communication. But a company can understand the growing influence of social media, and create an environment where employees are empowered to participate and build trust with their customers.

Question 10

What is Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)?

Accepted Answer

This video tells the story of Carson, who has an idea to sell interactive maps on his website. Rather than buying and implementing all the tools himself, he discovers APIs that help him get started quickly and build upon a foundation provided by specialists. It teaches:

Why APIs can be important for organizations and websites
How APIs can differ from buying technology outright
How APIs work, using examples of map data and credit card transactions
What APIs can provide websites and applications

Video Transcript:

When you visit a website, it’s easy to assume that one organization owns and runs everything you see on the site. But these days, many websites are actually a combination of specialized tools from organizations across the Web. And making it all work is something called Application Programming Interfaces, or APIs.

Meet Carson. He has idea for really cool interactive maps and he sees an opportunity to sell them on his website, but he has a problem. The maps would require a huge amount of data to work and he can’t afford the programmers and hardware to make it successful. And maintaining it all is a hassle. He just wants to make the maps a reality.

Carson has two big concerns: First, he needs an easy way to access and manage all the map data. Second, he needs a way to collect payment from customer credit cards. These are complicated tools to build and he knows there must be options.

In doing research, he found companies that specialize in the software and data he needs. He considered buying their tools outright, but it seemed too expensive and he would have to manage it himself. He needed something easier.

That’s when he learned about Application Programming Interfaces or APIs. APIs meant that he could rely on organizations that specialize and connect his website to their tools over the Internet. They simply provide a way for websites and applications like Carson’s to connect to and use their system.

This connection, or interface, makes it possible for two different systems to talk to each other and make requests.

For example, instead of Carson having to store and manage maps and data, he can use a map company’s API to do the heavy lifting. His website just asks for data and the API delivers it.

The same thing is true for billing. Instead of having to manage credit card numbers and billing details, his website hooks into a billing company API that provides and stores this information. All Carson needs is a bit of programming to make sure that his application and the API speak the same language. With this in place, information can be processed quickly and reliably, usually for a fee.

These days, his website visitors can try out and purchase Carson’s maps and it all works seamlessly. And behind the scenes, APIs are connecting his service to specialists via the Internet. And he’s not alone, today organizations large and small are depending on APIs because they create connections with specialists that help keep up-front costs down and provide a solid foundation for getting started.
