Tech Topic Connection

    Hardware components of computer systems will always have a connection and tie to the fundamentals of information technology because it is one of the core parts of understanding technology as a whole. If you want to understand how a computer is working then you look at the hardware side of things such as the CPU, GPU, and RAM. It is integrated into the history of electronics ever since the beginning because you need to know what hardware is in a computer in order to run it. One piece of hardware will always interact with another, they can not work by themselves most of the time. For example, the RAM gives memory to the computer's CPU sending and receiving information. They work together to help the computer run.     The computer hardware also interacts with the many computer programming languages and executions. A programming language is the language a computer understands such as Machine language, Assembly, and High-Level Language such as Python or C++....

Network Security

Within the world of technology and the continuation of evolution in this space, many things can be taken advantage of and stolen. We need network security in our everyday lives because without it our information can and will be stolen by malicious actors. Network security helps us protect our underlying network infrastructure from others that steal our information that includes passwords and other personal details.  Any computer can be vulnerable to any type of threat such as vulnerabilities and even social engineering. It is a major thing to look out for and can cause serious and maybe irreversible damage if not taken care of correctly. Even ping commands can be dangerous as they can cause an DDoS attack which is a Denial of Service attack that can shut down an website. Vulnerabilities are the most common way for people to get into a system it doesn't involve anybody and can go completely unnoticed. Plenty of giant scams are hijacks of information have been taken through this meth...

Computers in the Workplace

 In the business of sales, computers are very important and are crucial in making this career succeed. We humans collect data about basically anything within the world as a way to remember and organize. Technology can help with the data you have so you can be able to do a lot more things easier. Machines are handled to hold plenty of data and that's what computers can do for Information Technology jobs. Computers have always been a core part of the sales industry. With the software on the computer, you can edit, add, and delete data when it is needed easily. It is very important that if you are in this field you are computer illiterate, without this skill you will not be doing your best work instead you wouldn't understand anything that was going on. As computers evolve and we gather more data we will be able to store more which is important for preservation and handle even more complex tasks over time. This will be great for the entire industry and I can't wai...

Traveling Through a Network

 Packets are small bits and pieces of data that help us find where we need to go on the internet.  For example, when you Ping a website it sends some packets to see if the website receives, responds, or is lost. Each Ping and Trace route was different from each other due to the domain being different depending on what part of the world you live in. Depending on your physical and geographical location can determine how fast or slow it takes. We use packages all the time when we use the internet so packets are always been used by us. Pings and Trace routes can be great to use when you need to troubleshoot problems. For example, when a certain website doesn't or can not load for some reason you can ping the website and see if there is a response or not. Everyone can use this for any use because it is useful to know when a site is up or down. Meanwhile for a Trace route command, with large networks with multiple paths, you can troubleshoot and see if they are all wor...

Documenting a Day

  There were many types of applications such as word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, and database applications. Microsoft makes products that go through all these functions like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. We use these tools a lot in our everyday lives, and they are useful applications that can be applied to many things. While there are some similarities between the programs there are also some advantages and disadvantages depending on which program you use. Microsoft Word is a program where you can create and make documents in both a casual and professional form making it the best way to make papers or memos. But it is not great for calculations and creating places for keeping data. That job is for the spreadsheet creator Microsoft Excel since it is made to create charts for your information. While it can do those things it can’t present them as well as PowerPoint. Microsoft PowerPoint is a great tool to translate the data you have and the documents you made into a visually...
