...Computer Disposal Paper By: Calvin Drager The best way to dispose of these 500 computers is through E-waste recycling and here’s why. E-waste recycling has become one of the fastest-moving industries in the world. Our society has, for the most part, always been aware that certain convenient technologies we use every day also contain some of the most harmful known substances. Cell phones, computers, laptops, CRTs, flat screen TVs, tablets, printers, and monitors have all assisted our society in advancing our wants and needs. As we all know, technology moves faster than the speed of light, and by the time we have the newest gadgets, we are already in the process of wanting something bigger and better. As convenient as these technologies are, let's not forget that most of these gadgets contain harmful substances and should be properly recycled, refurbished, or reused. When these products are placed into landfills, either on purpose or not, we have a huge problem. Recycling electronics prevents the biggest and most prevalent pollutants in our society, which come from mining. Chemicals such as cyanide and sulfuric acid are commonly used in the mining process. When these substances spill, leak, or leach into the ground or water, the ecosystem is heavily affected. Once the chemicals are introduced to our landscape, the cycle of pollution is put into place. Through such common environmental occurrences as erosion and heavy rain, the pollutant chemicals end up in our oceans, streams...

...EN130 English Composition Assignment 02, Process Analysis How to properly maintain a personal compute A Personal computer is a tool, just like a vehicle that requires maintenance, However, a common sense and know how is only required for a great running Computer. Dust, Viruses, and Hard drive fragmentation, affects the functionality of computers; therefore, cleaning and maintaining a personal computer periodically is a must. A computer is just apparel we use daily, and we know bacteria and dust are things we cannot avoid; for this reason we need to constantly wipe and clean the keyboard, mouse, and the screen periodically for our own safety. Every few months we need to open the casing and remove accumulated dust, pollen and other particle, such as human hair and pet’s fur to keep the cooling fan clear and functioning properly. The hard drive is the heart of the PC and where all files are stored; therefore, cleaning the Hard Drive and defragmenting it is necessary to prevent the computer from slowing down and freezing. Some unused and unnecessary files need to be removed from the Hard Drive to keep the rest of the file accessible and easy retrievable. Viruses are the biggest concern when it comes to PC’s and personal information security, an antivirus program set on automatic updating and scanning the Hard Drive periodically is the key to keeping a healthy functioning computer.

...smoothly. When one or more parts of the system are not properly working it can affect the entire IT system as a whole and render it completely vulnerable to people with malicious intentions. In this paper I will discuss the role of each component in it and shed some light as to why each is needed. First let us take a look at computer programming. This element takes on different program designs created by engineers and uses one of several different programming languages to write executable code that computers can read. Programming is the source for the foundation and continuing function of the systems that countless people depend upon for all kinds of information exchange in both commerce and leisure. For example all of the software that I used to write this paper a programmer had to create some code to tell the computer how to read in my key strokes, how to display them on the screen, and how to compute the binary code for each letter. The beauty of programming is that you do not always have to invent the wheel. You can utilize code that is already in use and modify it to work the way a company will need it to. The programmer will also maintain the program during its use by the company. This is why you need a computer programmer ensuring that you have a smooth running IT system. Next let us take a look at computer networks and the role it plays in maintaining a proper IT system. A computer network is a group of computers connected via cables, satellites, or...

So therefore, in high school I began taking classes to assist me in a computer career. At first I didn’t know which form of technology I wished to pursue until I took a Cisco networking class. All the man networks and groups connecting together, it filled me up with joy just partaking in this kind of knowledge. It was until then I discovered that I wanted to be a network administrator. I will then proceed to discuss the fundamentals of a network administrator.

...Administrative Controls Paper 1. How do Administrative Controls demonstrate "due care?" Administrative controls demonstrate “due care” because they are controls that meet a standard considered reasonable by most organizations that share similar backgrounds or work environments. Administrative controls that meet the standard of “due care” generally are easily achievable for an acceptable cost and reinforce the security policy of the organization. They must include controls that contribute to individual accountability, auditability, and separation of duties. Administrative controls define the human factors of security and involve all levels of personnel within an organization. They determine which users have access to what organizational resources and data. Administrative controls can be broken down into two categories: preventive administrative controls and detective administrative controls. Preventive administrative controls are techniques designed to control personnel’s behavior to assure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of organizational information. Some examples of preventive administrative controls are: security awareness and technical training, separation of duties, disaster preparedness and recovery plans, terminating and recruiting procedures, and user registration for computer access. 2. How does the absence of Administrative Controls impact corporate liability? The absence of administrative controls will have a negative impact on corporate liability...
