While we are concluding the first 500-Word Summary Project, we are moving ahead with the 750-1000-Word Expanded Definition Project. It is described on the syllabus as:
Individual: 750-1000-Word Expanded Definition, 10%
Individually, you will write a 750-1000 word expanded definition of a technical or scientific term, with cover memo, which demonstrates: 1. correct memorandum format. 2. knowledge of the etymology and historical development of the term. 3. examples of the term’s use in various written contexts. 4. ability to compare and contrast various uses of the term. 5. use and citation of sources with proper attribution. 6. awareness of audience. At least three library-sourced citations are required and should be cited following APA format.
For this week’s writing assignment, I would like you to do some brainstorming about what term you would like to explore in this project.
To that end, write a short memo with the following information:
- Memo Block (TO, FROM, DATE, SUBJECT: 750-1000-Word Expanded Definition Brainstorming)
- One sentence stating three terms that you will choose from.
- One sentence definition for each of the three terms in your own words–no citing, no looking at the web, use only what is in your own brain.
- After using the databases, Oxford English Dictionary, and ebooks available through the Library’s website, write one sentence stating which of the three terms you have selected as the focus of your expanded definition project.
Save your memo some place safe and then copy-and-paste it into a comment made to this post.

For my 750-100 word expanded definition essay I have considered choosing a topic based on the terms Artificial Intelligence, Multi-Factor Authentication, and Single Sign-On.
Artificial Intelligence is a technology that can consume data and decipher outcomes based on the data.
Multi-factor Authentication is a secure sign-on process that either requires something you know, an action you have to do or requires biological input to verify you are who you claim to be.
Single Sign-On is the process of using one login to gain access to multiple applications.
After utilizing the databases, Oxford English Dictionary, and ebooks available through the Library’s website, I briefly reviewed all the terms, and have decided Multi-Factor Authentication will be the focus of my expanded definition project.

Some terms that I would like to explore furthermore are: Open Source, Big Data, and Cloud Computing. Open Source Software is a software that can be used free by many users and it is developed by an entire community than rather by a person or a company. We can free download such a software and install it on as many machines we want. Examples of open source include Ubuntu Linux, Firefox, Chrome, OpenOffice, Linux, and Android.
Many companies today have to manipulate large volumes of data that cannot be processed in traditional ways. Big Data is the field that analyzes ways to successfully manipulate these vast quantities of information.
Cloud Computing is a fast way to access files or applications that are stored on servers all over the internet instead of on our personal computer. Data is available all the time and it can be accessed from anywhere.
After the preliminary research in City Tech Library Databases I would like to continue my project on Cloud Computing because is the most interest to me and there is a vast availability of papers on this subject.

The purpose of this memo is to briefly explore the three terms that I am interested in writing a 750-1000-word expanded definition for. The three terms are e-commerce, deep learning, and responsive web design.
Based on my knowledge, e-commerce is the business practice of buying and selling of goods and services via an online marketplace or their own website. Deep learning is the process in which a computer can learn from the data produced by the user to create a better user experience. Lastly, responsive web design is a web design practice in which websites are created to function on a variety of devices, regardless of their screen size, while maintaining a cohesive design and layout. Out of the three terms mentioned above, I will be focusing on deep learning for my 750-1000-word expanded definition.

The three technical terms that I would love to explore for this project would be Version Control, API (Application Programming Interface) and Framework.
Version Control is a tool used to keep track of the code and files on the web that allows programmers to keep up with the changes that has been made from the earliest stage of the project. Some of the popular version control used these days are Git, GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, etc.
Application Programming Interface is a computing interface used for building web applications that interacts between multiple software intermediaries.
Framework is a platform for developing software applications. Frameworks simplifies the development process to build applications.
After using the databases, Oxford English Dictionary, and eBooks available through the Library’s website, I came up with an idea of selecting Version Control as the focus of my project.

The three terms I will choose off the top of my mind are as follows: machine learning, server administration, and neural networks.
Machine learning in my mind is related to programming AIs to record human behavior and act according to how a human would act after having enough data recorded.
Server administration is well, literally managing how a server runs and solving any issues that may pop up. There are other aspects such as managing those under you and perhaps some physical networking involved too.
Neural networks, in my mind, also is a branch off of AI. Maybe better said, a higher field than machine learning? I would say neural networks is a knowledge base for machine learning.
Based on the results from Oxford Dictionary and EBSCO, I have decided to focus my topic of choice on neural networks. It seems I might be bringing in some machine learning into the fray.
I think I will try doing machine learning instead of neural networks. More extensive research has proven that I have no idea what neural networks truly are; most of it seems to be working in tandem with the medical field. I am not much aware of the terminology in the medical field, so sticking with machine learning would feel more comfortable.

My three terms for my 750-1000 word essay are Cybersecurity, Network and Technology. The term Cybersecurity are measures taken to protect a computer or computer system from unauthorized access or online threats. Network is an arrangement of horizontal or vertical lines, but when referring to technology purposes it means an interconnected group or system, such as a chain of computers connecting together under one network base. And Technology means machinery or equipment used for scientific purposes. Examples of this are PC’s (Personal Computers), Laptops, Mobile Phones, Satellite dishes, etc. Technlogy can be used for communication, professional work and education. After reviewing these terms for my assignment, I’ve decided to do my essay on Cybersecurity.
