...With all the technology we have today computers are vastly changing the way we do things and how jobs are run. Computers up grade things that at times make things more efficiently ran, and at times cut down on the time it takes to do a project. It changes the way we do things and makes things easier to understand with some work fields that people are in today. With some fields of work computers would not really help out that much but in my field it helps out a lot. Just from the tools that we use it is mostly a computer base thing. My major is Recreation Management. So it is basically and outdoor type of major that deals with things like forest, agriculture, animals, and the land in general. So from the classes I have this year I am learning that computers are vastly becoming a part of my major. We use things like Geo II Explorer, and the Garmin E-Trex. Those to are computer-based object that you need to up load and transfer your data to and from the computer. The Geo II Explorer with creates maps and plots the points of where you have been and how to get to one point to another. It is all ran off satellite information that you get signaled back to your receiver. Then the Garmin E-Trex with give you directions to and from places let you plot points of where you have been and store them right on it in a little hard drive that is installed in it. These two tools are what are mostly used for the field that I am going into. I will be outside most of the time for mine so I defiantly...

...Computer Updating and Security Management Once again the IT Administrators have asked to clarify certain points to them on the implementation of the new network being installed. This takes in account that they know the basics of Server 2008 for windows, and have some knowledge working it. Let us then answer their questions on computer updating and security management. The first thing to address is the software and service Microsoft Server 2008 had in place for centralized updates. IT has a program called WSUS that allows all updates to be centralized from one place. It allows update support for a lot of computers up to 100,000, which leaves more than enough room for the school to grow. Since the main office will be the center I would set up a standard Hierarchy of WSUS (Moskowitz, n.d.). An upstream server which is located in the main office will approve and deploy the updates. The downstream server would be located at the school site. They will download the updates from the upstream server and parceled out to the computers/clients allowed. This will be a good fit for updates that are deemed unnecessary or not wanted by the organization and easily managed from a central location. The security measures in place will be of course IPSec. The communications from the main office to the school will be using Layer Two Tunneling Protocol or L2TP (Freelancer, 2008). This will ensure a secure connection at the highest possible setting. Group policies will be in place in order to...

Only one integrated database needs to be maintained. Many organizations are using information technology to develop integrated cross-functional enterprise systems that cross...

Ethics vary from one individual to another. Laws are written rules that govern. Ethics and information services have become very important. Computer ethics are key in today's modernized world. Social rights and the computer. This is really saying or giving you rights. For example, right to privacy. This allows your personal information to be kept just what it is, personal. Right to computer access, right to computer skills, etc. (Gorniak-Kocikowska, 1996). Code of ethics states what conduct is allowed and what is not allowed.

...Introduction With the rapid development of the auto industry, the number of cars in increasing. Car parking as an important part of the traffic management system, people’s requirements in parking management and continuously improve.

E-Parking system is a modern parking system which combine the computer system with the parking management.E-parking system is a new technology platform. The definition of E-parking system is use the advanced technologies to help driver found the location, parking the cars, pay the parking fees ( Caroline, 2010). The scholar Kun-Chan Lana ( 2013) has explain how the e-parking works. When the motorists want to parking the car in somewhere like superstore, first they can go to the parking website, check whether there is a free parking space. And then they can book the parking space, after that they need print a certificate with bar code. Before they go, they can pay the parking fees auto in the parking. Many researchers through their research shows that e-parking system has great benefits. Thompson and Bonsall (1997) found that e-parking system can reduce parking facility queue lengths. The E-parking system also can enhances existing spatial the use and the management, reduces the parking search time and reduce the urban traffic jams ( Hodel and Cong, 2003). 2.0 E-Parking system implementation 2.1 where need...
