Abstract: The internet has revolutionized the way people do things in the twenty first century. Most day to day activities are been done using the internet via search engines. Search engines are great tools which aids in surfing the web more easily. The most famous ones includes Google, Bing, Yahoo and many more others which provides users with directions to resources stored on the web and other websites. However these search engines pose several issues to users of which the most challenging of them, which has drawn the attention of many researchers is privacy. Search engines learn about the user while using them by gathering every bit of information such as identity, location and so on. In this paper, the authors discuss some protection methods and privacy techniques users can observe to prevent privacy invasion and data security whilst using these systems. The study further presents some comparisons between and gives detailed understanding to enable one have a clear idea. Further discussions and suggestions after the comparisons and a conclusion on the best ways to protect user’s privacy on the internet whilst using these internet based search engines are also presented by the authors.

Abstract: Smart home is an intelligent home network whose services and infrastructure are based information and communication technology. It is an intelligent use of wireless technology for the implementation of automated home electrical/electronic appliances and devices, domestic tasks, and security devices, for the wellbeing of the occupant. However, the development of smart homes has focused mainly on building for the young and able-bodied persons for the purpose of enhancing home comfort, energy saving, and security, without considering the aged and disabled persons in Africa. The Smart Home System were implemented in existing home environments, with the automation focusing on recognition of voice commands and uses low-power RF wireless communication modules along with a microcontroller for message passing. The system consists of voice recognition module for voice input and recognition. The control signal of the recognized command is transmitted to the microcontroller, and the microcontroller uses this signal to control home appliances. The designed system was tested and the result showed that the level of system response is higher in dead home than in a live home, hence, the system performance is affected by the environmental noise and the accents of un-trained aged persons are not supported by it. This system is most suitable for the aged and the disabled persons living alone and is intended to control all lights and electrical appliances inside a house using voice commands. In this work a home automation control system based on voice recognition was designed, implemented and experimental tests done and results were obtained.
