Tech Topic Connection

  My chosen topic was Types of Computers, this goes hand and hand with technology and is the reason why technology has blown up they it did. There are many different computers and each one has its unique function and purpose. According to Wikipedia the first mechanical computer was conceived in the 1820s by Charles Babbage but wasn’t built until 1991. My chosen tech topic “Types of Computers” is the first function of the major hardware component and the modern functions of a computer system includes input, processing, output and storage.   Applications software plays a big role in computer by providing the general purpose software, customs software and utility software. According to Amazon Web Services, “ Computer types play a fundamental role in both database concepts and database management.   Different types of computers are used to implement and manage various database systems, from small personal databases to large-scale enterprise databases. ”(2025, Amazon Web ...

Computers in the Workplace

  The industry I will be talking about is technology in healthcare. In healthcare technology is there to help out doctors look at our medical records, now that is done digitally. They no long have to wake weeks for a fax or the papers for our records. But also,it allows our doctors to see us remotely and be able to prescrible some medicine that wayl instead of meeting face to face. With some people remote visits are essential. One thing I learned that I seen on shows and articles is that they are using robotics in surgical procedures.    Which is an amazing tool for us so our doctors can get to places on our bodies. I did find 3D bioprinting the most reward out of these, because it allow’s they patient to get the prosthetic they are wanting or the vision they see for them selves moving forward. 3D printing gives people that hope and ability to create something cool. AI is taking over , I just purchased a new iphone 16 which has AI installed and when I am sending out a tex...

Traveling Through a Network

Image
  Part 1  I pinged google.com, verizon.com, Netflix.net and Netflix.com.  When I was trying to ping other countries it was a little confusing my being able to ping google compared to Verizon the pings , there was no packet loss, transmitted over 12 and received all 12. When I pinged Netflix.net and .com there was 100% packet loss and none received.  Ping and tracroute can be used to troubleshoot since ping can test the reachability of a device on the network and trace route is good for tracing network problems, discovering connections failures, and tracking down latency problems.  A ping or trace route command may time out because the target host has been down or unable to be reached or the network path being congested. 

Documenting a Day

  1.       Wake in the morning make my coffee, turn on the news and wake up 2 out of 3 of my girls. a.       This allows me to drink 2 or 3 sips of my coffee before having to go back into my girl’s room to wake them up for a second time.  2.       Drop off my girl at school and daycare then head back home to start work since I work from home.  3.       While at work I answer phone calls, send emails, and assist other agents with their questions or concerns about the customer’s account.  4.       While on my lunch and breaks I normally clean up the house, might do the dishes, clean the bathroom, wash clothes, or straighten up my girl’s rooms.  5.       When I get off of work I take out the trash and head to pick up my girls one who is at my dad’s house, other one still at school and baby at daycare.  6.  ...

Web/Mobile App Critique

Image
  The mobile app I am familiar with would be the mail app on ios devices preferably the iphone. I review my mail almost every 2 hours because I have a variety of things coming in or that I need to send out. The mail app features are accessing multiple email accounts, reading and or replying to messages, being able to search/ filter the email and organize the emails. Usability: The mail app provides a person the ability to compose a message, read a email, organize their emails and delete emails. I just learned the apple mail is not intended for a business email management and maybe limited in certain areas.   Design: The Apple mail did get a huge update with ios 18.2 where features like categorization, contact photos and a new inbox layout. I personally find the new layout overwhelming and very confusing. So I keep mines at the old feature which ios allows you to go back and forth between. Its less confusing and more straight to the point.   Functionality: The app is very ...

Programming Languages

      My experience with building a program using scratch was first very confusing. I got overwhelmed and was rereading the assignment and for some reason my brain was not getting it. I wanted to create a dialog, that is easier said than done. I tried a few time playing around with the different blocks to start one conversation and end another. I was able to a three section dialog but was unable to figure out how to continue it.   When creating a program I found it was very important to end one box before starting a new one. When programming I always need to the box and end the box. But every other little box made a difference in what my little sprite was going to do or will do. Having to but in an extra block so my sprite could wait was very important. I learned that its all about the correct assembly, if it’s not correct what I was hoping to happen during my scratch project was not happening at all.
