What are the drawbacks of networking computers? 4. What is the future of networking computers? 5. Is computer networking still at infancy, Discuss? Question 1: What does computer networking accomplish? Computer networking is the interconnection of two or more computers to share resources. Computer networking has evolved beyond the sharing of resources; it allows people and machines to communicate, using some of the advanced features or services. Computer networking has brought about increased productivity, cost reduction and synergy between users. Other accomplishments of the computer networks include: • File sharing and management: One of the major accomplishments of computer networking is file sharing, which includes remote file accessing. Organizations or individuals can share documents irrespective of their location provided their PCs are interconnected. It saves time, and provides a more efficient means of transferring data, rather than using storage device to copy and transport data to the other user. • Resource sharing and management: Another important achievement of computer networking is resource sharing.

...“Future where money is only electronic” Son Chunsuparerk Part A : Technological Infrastructure The following key enablers make the future possible Computing form factor: As all financial activities, including day-to-day merchandise will become electronic, the computer form factor will evolve in the way that allows people to carry it anywhere and everywhere. Computers will be smaller, faster, and embedded into human body to facilitate real time communication for financial activities. From history, computer forms have evolved from time to time. From a poor performance computer that filled the entire room to a bulky computer that sat on the entire table, to now being small compact laptop, tablet, and mobile that fit in a tiny pocket. In today’s environment, credit card is a great example how money went partially electronically. The drawback of using a credit card is that of the credit card receiver (eg. credit card is unusable if there is no device to accept). The future will need computers to miniaturize into a small fingertip size, which enables money to seamlessly transfer from one party to another. Credit card receivers will be small enough to fit into a wallet, just like a credit card, and have the functionalities to control over all financial needs just like using cash/check today. Power: In order to keep mobility and minimal form factor, one needs to consider its on power. In the future, power consumption on certain devices will be low, while power...

...The Future of Cloud Computing Melissa Gilchrist INF 103: Introduction to Digital Literacy Brent Ferns March 3, 2014 The Future of Cloud Computing Cloud computing is defined as being a replacement of all computers with “dumb” terminals that have no software or complex operating systems on them (Bowles 2013). This means that applications and the data used are being housed online rather than being put on your computer. As Americans these days we at some point are already using some of the cloud applications. With the future of technology rising in this day and age some wonder what the future actually holds for cloud computing and just how it will play a major role in society. After reading my textbook and the two scholarly articles I chose for my research paper, they all discussed the importance of cloud computing in the future and its advantages. This will have a large impact on technology and the use of computers. One advantage of cloud computing discussed in the course material Introduction to Digital Literacy (Bowles 2013) was the start-up time of the actual cloud. Software companies such as Google are now building operating systems that exist on-line rather than on your computer you use. This means that there would be non complex systems to boot up the computer. You would only have to press the power button and in seconds you will be connected to the internet as long as you have an internet connection. Another advantage would be the fact that computer...

...with the new computer system so Dan’s, the computer PM, project is given a low priority. There are currently two proposals pending and could be won by Kent Corp provided the new computer model is available for use. Kent Corp is capable of handling 100 projects simultaneously but this system creates a continual reshuffling of resources. Question 2. How would you sum up the situation at Kent and attack the problem? Kent is a large corporation that can handle several different projects at once but they should consider reducing the number of projects by 10-15%. The reduction of work in progress would reduce the burden on resources. Priorities need to be enforced across the board and an independent committee needs to be formed to decide on the priority listing for the company. This would eliminate any potential biases coming from various department heads. Currently the R&D director is the only employee not on board with the new computer system and he has the ability to assign a low priority to the project. No one employee should be able to independently decide the fate of one project that is important to the rest of the company. Upper management needs to have a meeting with R&D and explain the importance of the new system to the company. The government sponsored the computer project with $750,000 and now has a vested interest in the success of the new computer system. If the computer project fails, Kent may have trouble acquiring assets and resources for future projects. Since...

...Intelligence: Past, Present and Future Alana Boggan INF 103 Sabahudin Tricic July 25, 2011 Abstract Technology, over time, has become more advanced. As technology has risen, so has man’s curiosity for advancement of what technology can do for mankind. In this exploration, artificial intelligence was created. In researching and exploring the past of artificial intelligence, mankind can make assumptions about the advances in the future. The past, with curiosity of humans, has lent itself to the artificial intelligence we have today and the endless possibilities for artificial intelligence in the future. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming a constant part of life as technology advances. Webster defines artificial intelligence as “the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science that aims to create it” (Wikipedia, 2010). When assessing AI, one must look at the past and present. Acquiring knowledge about the past and present of AI, the future of this ever-changing field of science allows thoughts of endless possibilities and unimaginable devices of the future; therefore, by studying and researching the advancement of this field from its past to its present, predictions for this field can be made. Method I researched information on the past, present, and future for the field of Artificial Intelligence. In researching the past of the scientific and computer field of artificial intelligence, I was...

...reality. Talking, thinking, responsive computers and tiny personal communication devices, for example, just seemed like science fiction. Now they are not only a reality, but they are an indispensable part of everyday life. I can hardly imagine the developments in technology that my children will experience. Thinking of the future and trends in technology, at this time I believe there is almost no limit to what humans are capable of creating. Technology developments happen faster and faster each day. This is especially true for computers, both personal and business and industry based models. My first computer was Commodore 64 and it was a neat thing to have but it didn’t do much. After I joined the Navy, I worked with an aircraft guidance radar system that was powered by a UNIVAC computer. In fact the Navy somehow kept that system running well past the year 2000. Now, we have progressed well past these dinosaurs. Computer developments are the wave of the future, and development in that respect will shape events worldwide. Moore’s Law, formulated in 1965, predicts that the number of components in an integrated circuit chip will double every 18 months (Shahan, 2013). Considering the power of computers today, if Moore’s Law continues to hold true, the developments in computing power will produce computers that are exponentially more powerful than today’s computers (Moore’s Law, n.d.). Considering this, I believe that in the future, computers will become thinking machines that...

...Business and Support Systems NAME American InterContinental University Date Abstract Virtual reality and augmented reality are two different versions of reality. The use of electronic systems caused a flash crash because the systems were not set up to catch things like the selling off futures at a rapidly dropping rate. The productivity of Valero is being measured on a dashboard that has access to current and historical production data. Business and Support Systems Introduction There are different digital realities that are currently available; two of these are augmented reality and virtual reality. A flash crash happened because electronic systems were not programmed to stop the sale of futures if the price dropped. Valero is managing their business using a dashboard to measure the productivity of their refineries. Reality Gets Better Augmented reality and virtual reality use similar technology, however, virtual reality immerses a person into an entirely new reality, while augmented reality enhances the real world reality. In augmented reality, a computer can supply a person with sensations, images and sounds. Digital data is added to the real world, so the virtual reality world is not nearly as exciting as the enhanced real world. Virtual reality immerses the user, and all of their senses, into a digital world that is entirely made up of media. Users of virtual reality generally have to wear a headset that provides them with a way to block out...

There are many types of computers, huge and powerful computer are employed by governments and business to perform complex tasks and store data. Computers are particular good at performing repetitive tasks at speeds far faster than any human or team of humans can. Small computers like home and personal computers can also perform domestic tasks. We will see the benefits, risk in those times, 20 years ago, and also a projection 20 years later. Computer Computer is an electronic device used in almost every field even where it is most unexpected. That is why this age is called as the as the era of information technology. And we cannot imagine a world without computers. It is made up of two things one is the hardware and other is software. All physical components of computer like keyboard, mouse, monitor etc. comes under the hardware whereas all the programs and language used by the computer are called software.

...Criminal Justice Trends Evaluation There are many trends; future and past in the interfaces between components of the criminal justice system and criminal justice connections with surrounding society. It is very important to understand past, present and future trends throughout the criminal justice system in order to better handle and address them better. Some trends have been known to affect the criminal justice system in a negative way instead of in a positive way. For many the criminal justice system plays a major role in how society changes and how society values criminal justice in this era. The purpose of criminal justice and the law is to protect society from harm and ensure their safety as well as to protect the innocent and punish those guilty of committing a crime but at the same time doing so without violating their rights. As the world evolves, new laws have to be set in place to keep up with the evolution of criminal justice and crimes. New trends and contemporary issues can develop in society and can also have a direct impact on the criminal justice system. Technology is one of the biggest trends in the world that continues to improve on a daily basis and make life easier but complex at the same time. Technology affects the criminal justice system and will continue to do so every day because it creates a new category of crimes that can and are being committed. With technology comes computers and with computers comes cybercrimes. “Peter Grabosky of the Australian...

...of plastic injection molding. With state-of-the art design capabilities, they create innovative plastic designs that have earned international acclaim. Attention to detail, extreme precision and enthusiastic quality control are the hallmarks of Riordan Manufacturing. With facilities in San Jose, California, Albany, Georgia, Pontiac, Michigan and Hangzhou, China, the company is heavily dependent upon their communication networks. The documentation produced by this analysis will give the management at Riordan Manufacturing an understanding of their networks today, a plan for future upgrades and a baseline to evaluate security. The goal of this exercise is three fold. Our first will be to provide an inventory of the existing network components for Riordan Manufacturing designated by location, review the network security for each site, and our last goal is to document the current security plan for use in future planning. Because of the limited scope of the project, several assumptions must be made. The first assumption is that Riordan Manufacturing has accurate records of the current infrastructure and no changes will be made during this study. Furthermore, we must assume the equipment at each location is similarly configured. The deliverables for this project will consist of an inventory by location of the network in a Visio format, description of the security by location of the network, and recommendations for changes to the network design, circuit speeds, and reasons why the...
