Being a math and technology teacher I’m always looking for new ways to connect what I’m teaching to real-life. In today’s world ALMOST everyone has a cell phone, and most home phones have caller ID services. Have you ever wondered how all that information passes through your line? Twenty years ago caller ID was amazing, now with smart phones and mass data communication Dialogic tools redefine what is possible in networking and network optimization products. So I set out to learn more, to be more “connected” with the students. It's funny the way to stay connected in the 21st Century is still through the telephone even if the communication looks different. The difference comes through information sharing, video conferencing, and full multimedia productions being delivered to remote offices. Dialogic tools help streamline these processes for providers.
When laying new wire gets expensive, companies look for products to amplify the capacity of data transfer within a network and connected networks. These tools are usually required by phone and Internet providers to get the most from their servers. Sometimes I feel like I need these products for my home. With each of my kids having a handheld game/music device that connects to the Internet via WiFi, with the tablet, eReader, laptop, desktop, and Smart TV streaming videos, there are upwards of 10 devices connected to the home network/Internet at a time. We are one wired, yet unplugged family. Well, this creates a scenario where nothing seems to be moving/playing/loading at all. It’s like a hamster running on a wheel. Working so hard and going nowhere! {You see that rotating circle on the screen hypnotizing you, don't you?}
Well, if it’s this bad in my home, how about at school where they are trying to implement several types of access to technology? Trying to take a network, and get the most out of it for less. I can feel a financial management lesson developing as I research new technology solutions. Now I can solve all the world’s problems, I just need… more… bandwidth…
As companies are developing more devices, more powerful devices, and another level of Candy Crush Saga being designed there are tools also developed for the providers to keep your devices going.
Now, that companies are on top of creating technology, my task…create a lesson for students. Look for the lesson coming soon. In the meantime, take time to investigate why your system shuts down when “everyone” is connected.
