Question 2

What is a Computer Software

Accepted Answer

This video introduces the role of software in making computers useful. It focuses on different kinds of software and software's roles in computers and other tools we use every day, including:

The role of software as a translator
How operating systems cover the basics
How software programs help to customize computers
The role of software outside of computers

Video Transcript:

It’s easy to think of computers as just machinery – buttons, screens and parts that work together. But the magic of computers comes from something that makes them unique to you.

The problem with computers is that most of us don’t speak their language. We need a translator, something that can understand our needs and put the computer to work for us. The translator is called software and it makes computers useful.

Look at it this way. Like a typewriter, a computer without software is just a lifeless machine. By adding software, the computer becomes more alive, easy to use, and built for you. Most computers have two basic kinds: The operating system and software programs.

If you’ve ever used a computer, you’ve used an operating system. From saving files, to using a mouse or fixing problems, the operating system covers the basics. Operating systems come with all new computers and do a lot of same things. You’ve seen them called Windows, Mac and Linux.

But the operating system is only part of what we need. To make them personalized and more useful, we can add software programs. For example, if you need to edit a photo you can add a software program that is built for that purpose. If you need to design a house, you can add a software program that lets you see the house from all sides.

By adding and removing software programs, you can make the computer fit with exactly what you want to do. And adding most software programs is easy. You can get them from a computer store or download them from the Internet. No computer nerds required.

Once a program is on your computer, opening it is as easy as clicking an icon.

But what is a software program? What’s really happening when you open one? Think about it this way. Computers are really good at following instructions. And a software program is essentially a set of instructions that tells the computer exactly what to do.

When you open a program, the computer goes to work, completing the instructions until the program is ready for you to use. The ability to add and remove software programs means that everyone’s computer can be different and unique to them.

So, to review. We’ve talked about operating systems that take care of the basics, and software programs that make computers personalized. It’s this combination that makes computers so useful. But it’s not limited to computers on your desk.

Consider your cell phone. Just like a computer without software, it’s a lifeless machine that doesn’t speak our language. Thankfully, cell phones have software that bring them to life.

The same thing is true for many cameras, music players, and even our cars. Every day we rely on software to bring machines to life and make them personalized and useful.

The next time you use a computer or cell phone, think about software’s role in translating your needs into instructions that put the machine to work for you.

Question 3

What is Wikis?

Accepted Answer

Using a story about a group that needs to organize supplies for a camping trip, this video explains the basics of using a wiki to collaborate. It teaches:

Why email is a poor choice for collaboration
The basics of using a wiki to organize a group’s input
How the group edits the wiki to add, remove and edit their camping supplies list
Why adding new pages to a wiki can help it grow and evolve

Video Transcript:

These four friends are going on a camping trip. They need to bring the right supplies because they're backpacking. The group needs to plan and plan well, so coordination is key.

They're all computer users, so they start planning with an email. It's start with one, but then becomes a barrage. Email is not good at coordinating and organizing a group's input. This is the old way - Booo!

The important information is scattered across everyone's inbox. This isn't coordination! Let's start over.

There is a better way. It requires using a website called a wiki. Using a wiki, the group can coordinate their trip better. This is the new way - yaay!

Most wikis work the same. They make it easy for everyone to change what appears on a webpage with a click of a button. It's as easy as erasing a word and rewriting it.

The buttons are really important. There are two that are essential. They are "edit" and "save", and they are always used together. Let's see them in action.

Here are our camping friends and here is a wiki website. Like all wikis, it has an edit button. Clicking this button, transforms the webpage into a document. All you have to do is click it and the webpage becomes a document ready for editing. Editing the page means you can add or remove words or change how they look, just like writing a letter.

Once you're finished editing, you click save and the document becomes a webpage once again, and is ready for the next person to edit it - easy!

Edit - Write - and Save. Using this process, a group can coordinate more easily. Let's apply this to our camping friends, who need to bring the right supplies.

Mary signs up for a wiki site and then sees the new site for the first time. She clicks the edit button to get started. She creates two lists for camping: What we have and what we need. Under "we have" she lists the things she will bring: A cooler, stove and flashlight. Under "we need" she lists items that others need to bring: compass, lighter, water, and food. She finished the process by clicking save and the website now has lists for the camping trip.

Now it's John's turn. John visits the wiki website and clicks edit and the page becomes a document ready for him to make changes. John volunteers to bring food and water, so he moves those to the have column. He also realizes the group will need a knife and rope. Once he's finished, he clicks save and the wiki is ready for the next person.

Henry visits the wiki, clicks edit and he can edit the page. He remembers they need a tent. Henry saves the page and the wiki is ready for Frank. Frank edits the page and agrees to bring the remaining items, completing the process.

Frank saves the page and realizes something awesome. The group has created the perfect camping list - without email - yaay!

But wait! One thing is missing. They need a location for the campsite. The wiki can help with this too, but another page is needed.

John visits the wiki and clicks edit to edit the page. He types in the word "locations" and highlights it. He thens clicks the "link" button. This changes the word "locations" into a link to a new page.

John clicks save and next, Frank visits the wiki and sees the lists and the link to the new page. He clicks on the "locations" link and arrives at the new page. This new page enables the group to use the same "Edit, Write, Save" process to coordinate locations. This process can be repeated over and over.

These three buttons, edit, save, and link make it possible to organize a great camping trip or create the world's biggest encyclopedia.

Question 4

What are Online Basics - Online Accounts?

Accepted Answer

This video is part of our Online Basics series designed for people who are getting started with the Internet. It explains the role of accounts on websites and how having an account unlocks features that are normally hidden. The video follows Angie through the process of getting an email account and using it to create accounts on other websites. It teaches:

Why many websites have a public and private version
How website accounts work to unlock the private version and useful features
Why email accounts are important and useful
How to create an account and username
How to create a strong password

Video Transcript:

Many useful websites and apps have two versions. The first version is public and open to everyone. This version may have services offered, business hours and contact information.

The second version is private and requires users to have an account with login information. Once they log in, the sites offer personalized information and tools for managing bank accounts, accessing documents and more.

A key to living a digital lifestyle is creating accounts that give you access to private parts of useful websites and apps.

Here’s how accounts work for Angie, who is getting started with the Internet:

Angie first needs a way to send and receive digital messages online. So, she creates an email account and email address, which is usually free. This is important because it’s part of her online identity and something she’ll need to create other accounts.

With an email address in place, Angie can go to websites and look for words like “create an account” or “new account”. When she clicks this link or button, a form appears that asks for information that establishes her online identity.

The website needs two types of account information: her personal information and her login information. Angie carefully fills out a form that asks for her name, email address, and personal information. This establishes her online identity and creates a way for the site to send her email messages.

Next, she creates a username and secret password for logging into the website.

This information will unlock the website’s most useful services. The username may be Angie’s email address or a unique and memorable name. Angie decides to use the username “angieonline”.

Next, she needs to create a password to go with that username – and the password deserves special care. If it is shared or stolen it could cause major problems.

Someone could use her password to log into her accounts and steal money or her online identity.

So, she follows a few rules about passwords. First, she uses a password that is difficult to guess. Names, numbers or dates that are part of her identity should not be used. Second, she includes a combination of letters, numbers and symbols, like this. And third, if her password is written down, it is hidden from view.

Now that Angie has an account and what she needs to login, she is on her way to living a more digital lifestyle and using personalized websites that are designed to help her be more connected, productive and efficient.

Question 5

What is the internet and how does the internet work?

Accepted Answer

What is the internet and how it works can be taken for granted. I strongly advise, if you don't really know how it works, that you take time to watch an 8-part video series from code.org (each video is extremely high-quality, well presented, engaging, short, and to the point).

When I first started online, I truly had no idea what things are. I found that series to be extremely helpful.

There are all sorts of terms and names you are going to hear when you are going to buy a domain name, when you are setting up a website, and so on and unless you understand these terms you are going to get lost and overwhelmed.

This series will answer a lot of terms like: HTTP, HTTPS, SSL, IP, DNS, and so on.

Have you wondered how does a song play? How does a picture load on a website? How does font become bigger or small? How are you able to send and receive a text message across the ocean?

All of this and more are answered in this 8-part video series.

This is the first video, "what is the internet?"

And to watch the rest of the series, click on this link for the playlist.

Question 6

What are Libraries in the Internet Age?

Accepted Answer

Libraries and librarians have evolved, and these days what they can do may surprise you. This video explains why libraries are more important than ever. It teaches:

Why information is the real focus of every library
How the Internet has impacted libraries
Why more information isn’t always better
How libraries and librarians help us navigate information
What you are likely to find in libraries today

Video Transcript:

When you think of libraries, you probably picture shelves of books, librarians and kids working on homework. But today, libraries and librarians are a doing a lot more than you might think.

You see, libraries are not only about books. The real focus of every library is information.

For most of their history, that information lived in books, magazines and periodicals. So libraries and librarians became experts at organizing and understanding how to get the right information out of these resources.

This is still the case today, but things are changing quickly. We now live in the information age and we have access to more information than ever before. Now huge amounts of information also live on the Internet, in databases, apps and more.

Unfortunately, more isn’t always better. Finding trustworthy information and high quality research can be a challenge. And search engines can only do so much.

That’s why libraries matter now more than ever. The same libraries and librarians who helped us organize and understand books have transitioned to helping us find information wherever it exists.

Today librarians are still amazing book-finders - but they are also teachers and technologists. They are expert navigators of information and focus on helping people build new, useful skills, like how to do online research or search job listings effectively.

Librarians work to help communities and students become more digitally literate. And libraries have changed too. Most provide free access to the Internet via on-site computers and/or wifi.

Today many libraries have comprehensive websites that allow you to access resources like research databases that would be difficult to access otherwise.

You may even be able to check-out books online, or borrow electronic books that display on your e-reader.

It’s easy to think that the Internet might have made libraries obsolete, but thankfully, it’s quite the opposite. The Internet has provided libraries a new, effective way to do what they do best - help students and the community find what they need to be productive, online and off.

The next time you need quality information, help with a project or to develop a new skill or hobby, go to your local library and ask a librarian. They’re happy to help and really good at what they do.

Question 7

What  is Privacy Online?

Accepted Answer

This video helps students understand the reality of using the Internet today in terms of privacy. It explains how our actions online are tracked and used. It teaches:

Why privacy online is different than it is in the real world
How nearly everything we do online is documented and analyzed by companies
Why our data is important to the success of online companies
How our data enables websites to be free
What we can do to understand how our data is being used and make choices to protect it.

Video Transcript:

In the real world, privacy feels like a choice. We can close our blinds. We can choose to keep quiet or stay inside. And even when we’re in public buying groceries or talking with a friend, privacy feels like the default. No one’s analyzing our every move.

It might also feel private when we go online and use websites and apps to have discussions, to share photos, and schedule appointments.

You might ask: Does anyone really care about my location, my purchases or what photos I liked on the Web?

The answer is likely “yes”. Many of the websites we use everyday depend on knowing as much as they can about us. The more they know about our actions, preferences, connections and data, the more their service can be tailored to serving our needs - and that is part of what keeps us coming back.

But our information is also valuable for their business. If a company knows the connections and preferences of millions of their users, they can use it to improve their advertising or may even sell this information to other companies.

This, and money from targeted advertising are big reasons many social networking sites are free to use.

So, unlike the real world, privacy is not the default online because websites depend on tracking and remembering information about us.

And this is not necessarily bad. In most cases, we are just one of many millions of users and our data is used as a group and not individually.

But the fact remains that nearly everything we do online is documented somewhere, which brings up important questions like - Who has access to my information? Do I have any choice? Can I see the information a company has about me and how it's being used?

To be more informed about online privacy, here’s what each one of us can do:

Second, every major website has a policy that states how our information is being used and what choices we have. Read them.

Third, find out if those websites have privacy settings that we can manage.

Fourth, learn about settings on our computers, web browsers and devices that can increase our privacy.

Part of being happy and productive online often means sharing some personal information. Before you share too much, take the time to understand your options and how your information can be used in the future.

Question 8

URLs (Web Addresses)?

Accepted Answer

It’s easy to take URLs, or web addresses, for granted because they work behind the scenes in helping us jump around the web. By taking a closer look, we can learn about how websites work and what happens when we click. This video explains URLs and teaches:

How URLs are connected to web servers
What each element in a URL can tell us
How to tell if a website is secure
How URLs can represent how files are organized on a server
How anchors work in navigating to a specific part of a page

Video Transcript:

If you’ve used the web, you’ve seen how website addresses, or URLs, help you move from site to site. If we look closely, there’s a lot more to URLs than meets the eye.

When you visit a web page, what appears on the screen usually lives on a computer called a server. The URL, which stands for Universal Resource Locator, tells your web browser exactly where to find the page or file you want on the server.

Imagine you love a dog photo on a web site and save a web page’s URL that looks like this.

You’re probably used to seeing a subdomain like “www” in front of website addresses. It’s a default that usually isn’t needed for links to work. However, some websites use this part of the URL to connect to a separate part of the website, like support.doggopics.com. And subdomains can be confusing. Criminals may try to fool you by adding a familiar subdomain to their website address.

That’s why paying attention to the domain name is so important. It tells the browser where to find the website’s server. It’s like a street address for finding a house.

After the domain name in the URL, there are words, separated by forward slashes.

But that’s not all. This page was designed with anchors, which means your web browser can go to a specific part of a page. The anchor in the URL can be found after a question mark and includes a hash symbol, like this:

This tells the browser to go the domain, find the right folder, the right page and then, the right part of the page.

As you can see, URLs contain a lot of information if you know where to look.

Question 10

What is Deep Web?

Accepted Answer

This video is designed to highlight the major differences between the normal web sites we see in search results and the databases, services and websites that are found in the Hidden or Deep Web. It teaches:

How deep web resources are different than public websites and search results
Why deep web resources often require special permissions or payment
Where to find free access to the deep web
How the deep web is used in research and everyday situations

Video Transcript:

When it comes time to do research, the first step is often search engines. Using a search term, we can find websites, images, videos, blog posts and more that are free to view and can be useful.

But in reality, search engines can only see a small amount of what’s out there. For the best research, we need to find information that doesn’t appear in normal search results.

Think about it like this… Search engines like Google are constantly scanning the web and organizing search results based on what they can see.

The problem is that search engines can’t log into websites or private databases, so all that valuable information remains hidden, just below the surface. This is the deep web and some say it’s up to 500 times bigger than the free web we see in search results.

The question is, how can researchers use the deep web to find information?

Often, using the deep web for research requires payment or special permissions for access.

Thankfully, many libraries and schools provide access to deep web resources for free. To see how this works, imagine that you’re a law student who needs to research legal cases that involve vehicle safety.

To start, you use a search engine to identify a few popular cases and opinions, but the information is not consistent or authoritative. To round out your research, you need the deep web.

Thankfully your university library offers access to a number of online databases that make legal research easier.

Or, imagine you want to rent your house. When someone applies, it’s your job to find out if they are trustworthy.

A search on the free web may show some interesting information. But it’s difficult to find reliable information on their credit or criminal history.

So, with their permission, you might pay a small fee to use a background check website to find the right information via the deep web.

The big idea is that normal search results can only go so far. When you need reliable, authoritative information for research, remember that the deep web is full of useful resources that may come with a fee or be accessed for free from your library or school.
