A CAPTCHA is a type of challenge-response test used in computing as an attempt to ensure that the response is generated by a person. The process usually involves a computer asking a user to complete a simple test which the computer is able to grade
Do not search on the internet for too long as it can cause problems such as stress and information overload. It can also cause physical problems such as eye and back strain. Dont always believe what you read on the internet because information could be biased, exaggerated or simply untrue. Always try to check the information by using another source.
IMAP4:
•Internet message access protocol 4. Allows users to get the email into their inbox or phone straight away without having to login. The emails stay on the IPS server from which they are accessed.
Changes to the Landscape:Mobile phones
Beginning in the late 1940s, the technology that would later be used in today’s cell phones was created and the idea of a mobile phone was introduced. This technology was first used in mobile rigs which were mainly used in taxis, police cars and other emergency vehicles and situations. Truckers also used a form of this technology to communicate with each other. The first mobile phones were introduced to the public market in 1983 by the Motorola Company. The first generation phones were the size of a large briefcase and were very inconvenient. In the 1990’s the second generation was introduced that used digital technology. The third generation is what most people currently use today. Plans for the fourth generation have been put into place.
Invasion of Privacy:
If a mobile phone gets stolen or lost then all the information that is on the phone can be accessed by anyone. People save phone numbers, addresses, pictures, E-mail addresses and other pieces of information about their friends and family. A lot of people say that they would rather lose their wallet instead of losing their mobile phone. Most people don’t back up the information from their device and when the mobile gets stolen or lost it may take a while to restore all of the information. It should take two or less hours to restore a mobile phone but in some cases it can take a day or more. If a mobile phone does get stolen or lost, you can block it so that nobody can use the phone and access the information.
