  Tech Topic Connection Web and Mobile Applications & Programming Languages Introduction The history of the computer and its generations is a fascinating saga that has radically transformed the way we live, work and communicate. (Dr369, 2024) As technology continues to advance at such a rapid rate, web and mobile applications and programming languages play a big role in shaping the world of modern information technology (IT). The history of computers has advanced at a rapid pace as well, it began with computers that took up a whole room (the first supercomputers), such as the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), and weighed 27 tons. It has advanced to today’s computers that are desktop and weigh around 20 pounds, and laptops that weigh around 5 pounds, and you can carry them everywhere you go. The first computers used high level languages such as FORTRAN or COBOL, (Kirvan, 2025) that was the first few programming languages. Processing power is the main di...

                      The Network Security paper The Importance of Information and System Security for Individuals and Organizations. Introduction In a world where nearly everything is digital, ensuring our information and system security is safe has become paramount for both individuals and organizations. A breach in security can lead to theft of sensitive data, financial loss, and cause irreparable damage to an organizations reputation as well as an individuals life. As technology continues to evolve and cyber threats become more sophisticated, understanding vulnerabilities associated with computer systems and the various types of security incidents is crucial for safety and security of both personal and professional organizational information. Malware and Ransomware Malware is short for “malicious software”. It refers to a variety of   harmful software made to damage, disrupt, and/or gain u...

Week 4 Discussion1Blog post 5 TEC101   The Role of Computers in Healthcare   Computers play an important role in the day-to-day operations in healthcare . Computers a re indispensable in hospitals, doctors' offices and in medical research and medical billing. Everything from maintaining patient records, scheduling appointments, monitoring vital signs through pacemaker s that can be read 24/7, even having a surgery with a robotic arm con trolled by a computer. (Scott-Clark Med., 2022 ) Other uses a re telemedicine, and medical diagnostic tools, ( like the computer carts at the hospital), the integration of computers into healthcare has revolutionized the way practi ti oners deliver care to their patients. A prime example of healthcare providers managing patient data is through (EHRs) Electonic Health Records. IT allows providers to streamline administrative tasks and i mprove communication between different healthcare departments. EHRs reduce the risk of errors asso...

  Traveling Through a Network  Part 1. Ping Activity and How Packets Travel Through the Network In my experience with network diagnostics, I utilized ping and traceroute commands to analyze how data packets travel through the internet. These tools help us understand the network activity and performance issues in communications between devices. After testing out the different websites, I observed how packets are transmitted, and the different paths they take depending on geographic location and network routing. When using the ping command, my device sends a series of data packets to the specified IP address or domain name. Then it travels across multiple nodes or routers and switches until it reaches the intended destination. RTT (round trip time) is measured with the ping command, displaying how long it takes for a packet to reach its destination, and return, this helps observe latency and your overall connection quality. ping google.com Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4...
