This article is related to internet communication because it is actively conveying the 
message, which happens to be about interactivity. In the article, the writer explains how Google has patented contact lenses which communicate with like lenses through blinking and other non-verbal ways. 
"The patent proposes using pulses of light invisible to the human eye which another device can read. Through photodectors installed, they can receive data or special instructions, too."
The lenses use Google servers to send, process and receive the message. The "cool" factor of the new technology will pique users interests and keep them interacting with one another. 

We can measure interactivity in web design by tallying the amount of users within a game or possibly by integrating an interactive map, oftentimes by even clicking a link. The point is to infiltrate your interface with interactive bits to keep the user or the consumer actively engaged in the content so that they feel as if they are in control. Taking these measure will keep them coming back and will, in turn, increase the interactivity of the site itself.

Second assignment: Real world example of "Reed's Law"


1. Reed's Law is the most applicable law, in my opinion, to the world we currently live in, then the other laws we discussed in class. As technology grows more rapid with each coming day, the allowance for more space within networks is close to infinite (depending on the makeup of the software and the servers behind it) if those technologies involve three or more parties. Eventually, due to Reed’s law depending on exponential growth, there will be no more paired groups, rather, all groups will be connected by three or more parties and thus, have a superior probability of connectivity.  Let’s take chat rooms, for example, chat rooms have come a long way since AOL instant messaging, and have now evolved into mass rooms with seemingly endless members, whereas the aforementioned rooms had a vacancy cap. It will be interesting to see what comes next in the realm of exponential user growth in response to our ever-changing technological advances.

2. In five years from now, we will receive information much more quick than we do now. We will no longer have the news broadcasted on television, yet, the information will be sent to us directly through live-feeds at any given moment in time. What I am referring to is different from the applications on smart phones we use today, because it will come to your attention without an app or click of a button, similar to what the Apple watch has done to present date. The use of textbooks in our schools will be extinguished, instead, everything a student will need will be able to be found on the internet or through online textbooks,webinars, FaceTime, etc. The use of computers in classrooms will be more common and I think there will be higher expectations from the professors since everything we need will be able to be accessed at the tip of our fingers. The way technology is rapidly increasing is causing our generation to become more dependent on it and the other new forms of communication, and the more traditional styles of communication are slowly but surely being forgotten, (eye contact, face-to-face conflict resolution, etc.).
