This week in class we learned about the American Standard Code for Information Interchange or ASCII and the Unicode. ASCII is a character-encoding scheme that only has about 128 values, unlike the Unicode that has more than 100,000 characters. The Unicode includes ASCII and is considered to be the universal character set around the world.
Unicode is the dominant scheme for storage of text and internal processing. Every computer and operating system uses this code and therefore can not operate without it. This website would use this code to be created and operated.
When storing information in a computer there are many different prefixes that are used depending on the size of the storage needed. This blog allows the user 3 GB, which stands for gigabyte. This website would need to have a large amount of storage space in order to continue to add information, pictures, and videos from different events.

Week 4- Megapixels and RFID Readers
This week in class we discussed megapixels. A megapixel is equal to one million pixels,tile-like picture elements that make up digital camera images. The more pixels, the higher the image resolution.
Megapixels will be used in the website, "Events Where You Are", because there will be pictures provided on the website from the events. The digital cameras used at the event will be high tech cameras with a very high image resolution, causing the pictures to have a lot of pixels. Since they have a high resolution the pictures will be very good quality, which is important so that people can view them without difficulty.
Also, during class we discussed RFID's. Specifically for events the one that is the most useful would be an RFID interrogator, also known as the Barcode scanner or a reader. This would be used to scan tickets that people have to get into the events. These tickets would be available to purchase on this website. This would speed up the process of entering events, and would replace having to look through a guest list.

Excel- how can it help?
Excel is a great way to keep track of business transactions, different people using the website, how the website is used, and a lot more! For this website i would use excel to keep track of different data so that i know what part of the website is used the most and what isn't. This would help me fix different kinks in the program and make it so that it is useful for all.
Today, in class we also learned about hexadecimal, this would help me with the creation of my website because it is the way that colors are created on a website. I would use different combinations to make the perfect colors that make the website easy for everyone to access.

Social Networking-How is this website similar to Twitter?
How is this website similar to twitter one might ask? This website is similar to twitter in many ways, as it is a different kind of social networking website. This website is a social networking website because it is used to not only tell people what events are going on, but also so people can read about and see pictures from previous events.
This Events Around the World Website can also be followed on twitter and used for marketing purposes. This will help the website be found and used everyday all around the world. Although, it is similar to twitter is is very different as it is specific to just events.
Social Networking is a growing trend all around the world. I think this website would help with the event industry to help promote these different kinds of events. Twitter, facebook, and Linkedin are all some examples of social networking websites and by adding this website to the list will take this trend to a whole new level.

What Events Are Going on Where You Are
There are many different events going on everyday and everywhere around the world. This website, "Events Around the World", will help you find out what kind of events are going on where you are, if you are on vacation or just at home. After the events happen you can go on the website to see pictures and hear about how the event was if you couldn't make it.
Technolgy is improving everyday and there mobile phones are becoming more and more advanced. This website can be set up so that updates are sent to your phone everyday and you would get a notification about the events going on where are you. You can also acess this website by simply loging on to the computer everday.
How would you feel to be able to go on the interent and have one website that you can go to and find out what events are happening that night where you are? I am currently in school to become an event planner and think that this idea would not only be great for people wanting to attend the events, but also to be able to see the events from the past night. So type in your location and type of event you are interested in and let's get started.
