Week 8

 Georgia is a country located at the intersection of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. It is part of Caucasus region. Well what i would like to say is that geographically we had contact with Asian and European countries and civilization has been emerged likewise. Georgian's are very talented but lazy, most of us. We sent many Georgian IT students in MIT, Google, Facebook. One 23 year old Shota Zhvania, started working in Tesla's office in Berlin as a developer. Also Lako Grigalashvili girl, who started working in Amazon and we have many talented IT staff, but they are not famous even in Georgia and there are reasons for that. Due to strict political regime in Georgia and corruption, it is very difficult to maintain your status. Mafia is always after rich and successful people and to be also more direct, it is not always safe to just walk in the streets. That is why many people, prefer to be unnoticed and 90% of them leave the country. Children from very early age are interested in computers and understand lots of basic technologies before 10 and 12 years, such as IP addresses, making Online MMORPG games, etc. When we are talking about IT depiction in Georgia we should firstly mentioned Online Banking System. TBC Bank has very comfortable online banking system, which outclass German, Estonian and many European Online banking system. As i recall TBC bank developed first online banking system on mobile phones. Developers we have quite something. During last Government, our security was on quite high level, because every Georgian talent who was outside the country were invited to work for their country. With little resources, MIA done unimaginable things in cyber space and outside cyber space also, with the help of IT. You can't even imagine on how little resources i am even talking about. Our IT pros, provide knowledge mainly in computer science and mathematics. We have one of the strongest national team in mathematics who win many championships in Europe(I don't approve America as a talent for mathematics). One thing is that Georgians have attitude of doing something in the last second. As I mentioned we are very lazy and always trying to do things very easily way, I am not ashamed of it, we just don't like stressing ourselves. The only problem I see is corruption in eveything and that is where all problems start. That is why we are not seen among leading countries. What can i say about IT staff. Everyone runs from country and only old generation are left of who think being computer scientist or IT engineer is something like installing windows or fixing printer? In 2008 we had first video stream platform called avoe.ge which is converted now into imovies.cc and adjaranet.com who host movies. Before netflix(2010) you could watch movies online on avoe.ge and also download cracked games. Because of my little knowledge about Georgian IT guys, I cannot provide much more and believe there are lot more done than said, but i think it is enough to create good impression.

Week - 6 Copyleft

Intro      While Copyleft can be granted to users to change and distribute the intellectual property under the derivation of the "host", Copyright exists in order to protect author of documentation. During the Copyleft author is capable of placing his/her copyright into the document. Strong Copyleft     As I said Copyleft is set to guarantee the freedom of the software distribution and modification but first creator has most of the rights. It means source code should be available with the copy of a license and acknowledgment from author. Lets mention a little bit of history. Firstly we met Copyleft license in 1985 by Richard Stallman the Emacs General Public License  and it is still used in many copylefted software such as GNU. But everything is not as easy as it seems. While you are in the head of a company and trying to choose between licenses you should carefully think about it. What kind of company business are you going to deal with in the future? What kind of strategy w

Week 1

 THREE IT FAILURES      Some of you heard about unfinished complaints from users to their mobile phones and I will try to discuss one of the main highlights from recent events. Samsung Galaxy Note 7 people who have not heard about it was officially released on 19 August 2016 and it was the first mobile device with C-Type USB connector. People loved that phone, for its' beauty and capabilities, the quality and construction "were praised". Of course the price was high due to its' "new level" hardware, but that was not the main issue with that. On 2 September 2016, first informal announcement about Galaxy Note 7's batteries, which generated excessive heat lead phones to fire. Undoubtedly, the stock of Samsung company plunged, but the consequences were inadmissible. The company itself was not typically associated with low-cost, low-quality components. Moreover, Samsung was supplier for Apple's Iphone and after that loyalists were surprised.      On the 7

      Nowadays, we live in the era of technology. Information can be exchanged all over the world within seconds. One little mistake, can become huge problem. What should we do to avoid it?     Firstly, It would be good practice to implement better design, because before making mistake it must be seen easily. For example, on January 13, 2018, Hawaii residents were on the receiving end of the shock of their lives. False alarm by employee at Hawaii Emergency Management Agency "BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL". During that time, the period was tensed with North Korea and residents started panicking. After 30 minutes, mistake was issued . Richard Rapoza, a spokesperson for the agency, said it was due to human error. It is something we hear everywhere. It was just one false click that made situation distressed. How could we avoid it ?  Strong colors are easier for our eyes to detect for some wrongdoing. For good design time a
