ASCII

The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII, pronunciation: /ˈæski/ ASS-kee;) is a character-encoding scheme originally based on the English alphabet. ASCII codes represent text in computers, communications equipment, and other devices that use text. Most modern character-encoding schemes are based on ASCII, though they support many additional characters.
ASCII developed from telegraphic codes. Its first commercial use was as a seven-bit teleprinter code promoted by Bell data services. Work on the ASCII standard began on October 6, 1960, with the first meeting of the American Standards Association's (ASA) X3.2 subcommittee. The first edition of the standard was published during 1963, a major revision during 1967, and the most recent update during 1986. Compared to earlier telegraph codes, the proposed Bell code and ASCII were both ordered for more convenient sorting (i.e., alphabetization) of lists and added features for devices other than teleprinters.
ASCII includes definitions for 128 characters: 33 are non-printing control characters (many now obsolete) that affect how text and space is processed and 95 printable characters, including the space (which is considered an invisible graphic).
The IANA prefers the name US-ASCII to avoid ambiguity. ASCII was the most commonly used character encoding on the World Wide Web until December 2007, when it was surpassed by UTF-8.

CYBER CRIME PREVENTION ACT OF 2012

We cannot deny that the purpose of Sen. Edgardo Angara is essential when he summarized the Cyber crime Prevention Act of 2012. In the time when many Filipino citizens use internet and social media in trade, communication and sharing news to different parts of the world, they need to have a law that would protect their rights in using the internet. We cannot deny that in the development of the technology and  the use of the internet  there are bad people that use this to take advantage and deceit others. Social media is also used to discredit a person who is nothing against him. Canard will easily spread which can make a situation worse.

The world became small because of the technology, communication between families and friends in different parts of the world and obtaining information became easier.

But, the affiliation of using this useful technology is the security of the rights of every user. So it is right to have a law that would make sure the safety of using this technology.

There is a law passed. It is right for us to be happy because our beloved leader have thought of having this such a law. But why do people get angry instead of being happy?

It is because the law that must protect the citizen is the law that is used by the government to overcome our right/freedom of expression. "Likes" in Facebook and "tweets" in Twitter are can be used to send a person in jail. This law will give the government the right to open our private accounts and use this against us. It is right to punish all people who will use the internet in dishonoring others but  it seems like freedom of expression, especially if it is about the things that will affect the society, is forbidden in this law.

making a webpage through notepad

Our first exercise is creating a webpage through notepad but we will just copy what our teacher has made in notepad. It was not that easy but not that difficult also because you must be careful in copying. If you miss any single letter in an HTML tag, there would be something wrong with your webpage. I was very amazed about what appears in my screen when I look at my webpage.

But in our practical test, we did the total opposite of our exercise. Our teacher showed us a webpage and we will create the same webpage too. It was too hard especially when you don't memorize the HTML tags and their uses.

I wish I would pass Comp Sci this quarter....
