Dana C. Williams Deals-R-Us Brokers (Part 1) Case Study a. Classify the two alternatives in terms of what type of application architecture they use. It was stated in the case study that the first alternative will have a special tool developed in C++ that clients will download onto their computers to run. The tool will communicate with the DRUB server to select data to analyze. Based on this information and research done using Business Data Communications and Networking (2009), the first alternative is a client-based architecture. This was deduced because it says in the Business Data Communications and Networking (2009), example for client based architecture that the application has to be downloaded onto client or user’s computer and then the client tells the server what data to select and analyze and processed data will be sent back to the client for display.

When a store becomes big enough to afford good security equipment such as cameras and a security/ surveillance team then it is worth it. Security usually pays itself off from the money they get from shoplifters. The basic security system is the detectors found at the entrance of stores. The problem with the detectors is that you have to place a clip of some sort on all merchandise if you want it to be detected when going through a detector.
Jane Mukala Professor Hart ENG 101 March 18, 2015 Does The Internet Make You Dumber? Nicholas Carr argues that the internet has bad effects on the brain. He says that the internet makes it harder to remember anything, and that it is harder to move memories into long term memories. Carr thinks that by skimming information, it will diminish the ability to read long texts; I disagree with him because the internet makes actually makes us smarter and think accurate because we are aware of every little information around us.
