A Journey into Information Technology.

Discuss how programming languages connect to the fundamentals of information technology covered in this course .   IT is commonly used across business activities in contrast to personal information technology. IT is a branch of information technology and communication. The computers used for information and data conservation, extraction, distribution, and handling are IT. Data protection, also known as data privacy, is the aspect of IT information technology that interacts with an individual or person's right to determine the data shared with third parties in such a computer system. The hacking of a device or a computer is an unauthorized intrusion (Felleisen et al., 2018) . A hacker can interfere with a computer system or network's protection mechanisms and can access other computers unauthorized. Malware involves malware to mess with a computer system. Explain how programming languages relate to information technology and computer science concepts, including the history of

 For individuals and organizations, the security of their systems should be vitally important. Protecting the information within a system can ensure that it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands beside the user or company that it is intended for. Also, the security system should be protected so that there is no failure within the programs or parts of that system. When it comes to ping commands and the types of attacks that can come from using them to network, there is one that comes to mind. Denial of Service is an attack that can come from ping commands. According to our textbook, a DoS attack is achieved by submitting huge numbers of access requests simultaneously to one target website, causing that site's web server to be overloaded, thus preventing legitimate requests from being handled and by determining the source of the attack from IP addresses is how DoS can be prevented (Lysecky & Vahid, 2017). There is a wide variety of security risks that can cause many issues for techno

I was told to chose a specific industry-based on my understanding of Information Technology so I decided to choose healthcare. I have some experience before I joined the military in the medical field where I worked as a medical billing representative. Computers were everything in that industry. They provided information for patients and doctors. Procedures, inventory, transcripts, and so much more were stored through the mainframe of the computers that were throughout the hospital I use to work at. Learning about how packets, ping, traceroutes work to help the transfer of data within the networks last week was pretty amazing. It is very important for employees to be comfortable to be at least a little computer literate like with simple tools like Microsoft Excel, Office, or the program being utilized by hospitals being that within the healthcare industry that is how information is tracked and shared. Well see how technology is grown more advance every day, I see networking will become

  Reflecting on your experience using the ping and traceroute commands, describe how packets travel through the network. Compare the ping and traceroute results from the different websites and explain how the paths to the different destinations differ. Make a conclusion about the relationship between the roundtrip time and geographical location. Explain how the ping and traceroute commands can be used to troubleshoot Internet connection problems. Give at least two possible reasons why a ping request or traceroute command might time out or return with an error response. It was pretty cool to learn about ping and traceroute. I was amazed at how fast information was received after a command was sent. According to our textbook, packets travel through the network by communication links like wires, fiber optic cables, and satellites to reach their destination (Vahid & Lysecky,  zyBooks  2017) .  Regarding ping and traceroute results, the ping results from each of the 3 websites performed

  Word processors, spreadsheets, presentations, and database applications are all helpful in delivering information. Word processors can share text in many different fonts, sizes, colors, shapes, and etc. The advantage of the word processor is how simple it is to write and edit what needs to be shown or read. A disadvantage for me personally would be the way that some word documents that I print outcome out messed up from the original copy sometimes. A spreadsheet is great for breakdown down data and numbers. I like using spreadsheets as a tracker for things that I have to do throughout the year. A disadvantage of a spreadsheet would be how if one input is wrong all the data in the spreadsheet can get messed up. Presentation is exactly what the name states, it is a program that helps with text, images, and videos. It can be edited just like a word processor to fit the needs of the user and the viewers of the PowerPoint. A disadvantage of PowerPoint would be that the presentation is usu

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/485251117/ - Describe your experience building a program using the Scratch language.  - Identify the difficulties that you encountered in Scratch, and explain how you overcame them.  - Describe the insights that you gained about programming from this exercise. Compare your experience programming in Scratch with the participation activities in Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, and 2.11 of the textbook that explored machine languages, assembly languages, high-level languages, such as Python.  - Describe the differences between the programming languages.  - Identify which language you found easiest to use.  - Describe scenarios where each type of programming language would be most effective.  - Explain which programming language you think is the most popular.     My experience with building a program with scratch was pretty unique. I have never made a story before especially using cartoons but I think I did pretty well for it being my first time. Learning how to co

So when it comes to apps I use. I am huge on investing and studying. I use everything from Robinhood, Acorns, Stockpile, Coursera, Udemy, and many more. For today's discussion, I will talk about Cashapp which is a simple financial app that I have been using for a while now. I will discuss its usability, design, and functionality.  Design When it comes to the design of the Cash App. It has a very clean slick look with the light of green and white being its theme. A very friendly setting is introduced through each page of the app. It kinda seems most all friendly financial app use that soft design with nice tabs to bring people in without complicating anything. Usability Cashapp is so simple to use but does require a little learning at first. When it comes to sending money, linking your bank account or debit card is easy using the first tab. The second tab is for Cashapp debit cards. The third tab is how you send and request money. I believe the only part most people find confusing i
