Computers have been tremendously beneficial to the educational system since the style and way it is taught. For example computers have a variety of programs that can help students improve their learning and can also help them with grammar issues. Some computers have a Microsoft Word, which is a program where you can write a letter, essay, memo, cover letter, or short paragraph which can be printed or sent electronically (by email). The Microsoft Word document has tool bar which has many bars to help improve the letter you are writing, a specific tool is the paragraph in the format bar which checks for any mistakes found in the letter, and it can also help find fragment sentences. The other way computers have helped the education system is being able to have websites for each school that students attend to be well informed about the school and also being able to check their own grades or maybe if a student misses a class he can find the notes or assignments that he missed. Computers have helped finding criminals in the past or detecting possible terrorist threats...

...Executive Summary Computers and networks are involved in virtually all activities today. They are used to communicate, to create intellectual property, to store data, to perform business transactions and much more. Networks afford users the opportunity to continuously use computers through wireless connectivity across many different platforms. Any computer connected to a network can be used for many purposes. Just because a computer is located in the workplace does not mean that the computer is used only for work. The pervasive nature of computers and networks means that they are increasingly connected to incidents and crimes, which can be accidental and/or malicious (Mandia et al, 2003). Fig 1.

...(1989). In his essay Computers in Education ‘’ students who had lots of contacts with computers before getting to university often had considerable difficulties: they tended to have very little patience for learning the skills that constitute real computer science - data structures, computing theory, program development and documentation, and so forth - because they were used to using sophisticated software. Once they got into computer science they found that their homework had nothing to do with, for example, drawing spectacular figures on the screen; that it was a serious and laborious activity, requiring great effort and concentration, and that it was nothing so easy as the playing they had done with computer software’’ . It is safe to say people who haven’t spent that much time in a computer but were more dedicated to long hours of intense learning sessions got better results when tested on the matter. Sense of nature and humanity is a common denominator of excelling students. As a metaphor we can compare an obsessive computer user to a man in a giant bubble, detached from its environment. Deprived from all the creativity, development and acclimatized memorizing...

My brain is wired to enjoy solving problems logically, which is why I have always been so attracted to computer science, a subject founded on problem solving. Every algorithm that runs smoothly, every piece of hardware that configures without issues, every large project that wraps up on schedule, are all small victories that make it all worth it and fill me with purpose. All aspects of a computer’s inner workings are fascinating to say the least, understanding how a device or service functions can shift one’s perspective of the world and make them see their day-to-day menial tasks in a new light, which is what happened to me....

...IMPORTANCE OF SECURING DATA AND SOFTWARE MORE THAN COMPUTER HARDWARE IN AN ORGANIZATION BY DHUMISAN CHISI SUBMITTED TO MR MWEKHELA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT FOR THE COURSE FUNDAMENTALS OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS COURSE CODE CCC1073 THE MALAWI ASSEMBLIES OF GOD UNIVERSITY 23TH MARCH 2015 Information systems have long been at some risk from malicious actions or unplanned user errors and from natural and man-made disasters. In recent years, systems have become more at risk to these threats because computers have become more organized and, thus, more interdependent and accessible to a larger number of individuals. In addition, the number of individuals with computer skills is increasing, and intrusion, or “hacking,” techniques are becoming more widely known via the Internet and other media. In large organizations computers are kept in large scales and also store a lot of important data and information plus maybe softwares of the at most important. These softwares and information require to be kept safe and protected. It is the sole purpose of this paper to explain the reasons why it is important to secure the organizations data/information and computer softwares of an organization. Some of the information used in business organization requires special protection for confidentiality (to ensure that only those who need access to that information to do their jobs actually have access to it). Some of the information used in business organizations need protection...

Introduction According to Gordon, customer relationship marketing is defined as ‘…the on-going process of identifying and creating new value with individual customers and then sharing the benefits from this over a lifetime of association’ (Weinstein, 1999). It is very important to note the evolution of Customer Relationship Marketing in the business world. Communicating a generic message to a large group of people was the norm in the past (Belch and Belch, 2007). This proved to be a very expensive method to keep as this non-specific message did not serve well to understand and deliver each and every one of the individual needs of the customer (Belch and Belch, 2007). The 1980’s saw the advent of database marketing which was the first stage in the journey...

...Don’t Let Computers Become the Teacher President Clinton once had a vision of “the day when computers are as much a part of the classroom as blackboards.” (Sava) Back in the late 90’s that was just a vision. With the advent of Smart Boards and other teaching tools that vision has become reality. How are we supposed to view this change in the framework of learning and teaching? Are teachers to bow down to their new silicon based overlords? Are these computers to be used as classroom aids, or are they the forefront of a move from flesh and blood educators, to chip and wire teachers? There are many who support increasing the use of computer technology in classrooms. It would be difficult to defend a claim opposing the obvious advantages of computers. Computers are advanced machines leading a revolution in technological advancement. However, these proposed increases may not provide the ultimate salvation that some believe computers will bring. There are various issues that must be considered before we pledge our alliance to the motherboard. Thomas Dwyer wrote an article in SIGCUE discussing some of the issues his organization encountered in their study of this subject. He writes, “Our enthusiasm (for computers) is tempered, however, by a growing respect for the importance of human relationships, particularly in a technology-based environment. The more advanced the accomplishment of students, the more keen seems to be the need for the recognition and guidance...

...Importance of Firewall The importance of a firewall is that it blocks malware that would be able to scan your computer to find its vulnerable areas and then attempt to break it while it is at its weakest point. First of all there is only one way to make your computer completely safe from attack and that is either when it is off or unconnected from the Internet. Other than that there are always vulnerabilities. However, you can make it as close to hacker proof as possible while it is connected to the Internet. The way to do this is to have a personal firewall installed along with antivirus and anti spyware protection. Plus you have to make sure that all three of these are updated on the regular. Additional protection is available to a network that used a router with a firewall feature. Firewalls protect your computer from outside attacks by guarding it from unnecessary Internet traffic. They can however be configured to block certain data while letting other data in. The importance of a firewall on your computer can not be underestimated especially for those who are always connected to the Internet. Firewalls are positioned between your computer and your network and are great for protecting multiple computers but also offer a great degree of protection for single computer use. It allows individual users decide how much content they want to filter through and what websites are safe to use. In some cases users have a very lax opinion of what should and should not be allowed...

...use of ICT’s to broaden access to and improve the quality and efficiency of basic education service delivery. The poor performance of students across the country in national and international tests, and the consistent high school dropout rates in both elementary and secondary school levels, underscore the deterioration of the quality of the Philippine schools system. Computer education offers potential for human betterment, at the same time, it is taught with great dangers that neither the potential can be truly realized, nor the danger avoided, without careful far-teaching critical questions being asked about computers in education. It is clear and evident that whatever this eventual outcome, the debate about computers in education is just beginning and is going to be with us for some time. The mathematician, computer scientist, and psychologist, Seymour Papert conducted renowned projects in the 1970’s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with the goal of making children the “builders” of their open intellectual “buildings”. (Harris and Kingston, 2002) It was Paperts intention to design “a computer language that would be suitable for children. It offers extraordinary opportunities to create an environment where one could learn algebra, geometry, problem solving, spelling, and history in ways more likely the informal learning of the unschooled toddler than the educational processes now...

...lathes, a piece of faience or a television each provide a wealth of information about the time in which they were manufactured and used. Cultural artifact provides information about the technological processes, economy and social makeup and a host of other subjects. We live among cultural artifacts that have deep roots. Computers There are many inventors that contributed in the history of computers and that a computer is a complex piece of machinery made up of various parts, each of which can be considered a separate invention. The first freely programmable computer was invented by ‘Konrad Zuse’ in 1936. Later different inventors made various inventions throughout the history. First in 1600’s only calculating machines were invented. It had a great impact on computing. The ‘abacus’ was one of the first counting machines. Calculating machines were sold commercially before the advent of steel manufacturing technologies. Papyrus was something to write on, before we had paper. Writing was a way to record mathematical calculations. ‘Babbage’ and ‘Lovelace’ were ‘programming’ machines as early as the 1800’s before any military computer. The modern day computers are the...

...Maintaining Information Security CMGT-400 Assurance and Security 5-25-2013 Maintaining Information Security Maintaining the security of information couldn’t have been said any clearer than by Lindsey Walker of InfoSec Island, when in 2010 she wrote an article about sensitive information becoming breached. She said “Preventing information security breaches needs to become a main priority for any company when handling both customer and company information”. Sharing information has become much easier than in previous years, from the widespread mainstream use of USB thumb drives or the constant urge to share some secret news or research on Twitter and other social media. The need for a company to constantly review and update their information security policy periodically has never been greater than now. Security Policy An Information security policy should be written in a way that defines how digital information should be protected and accessed by all company employees. Most information that is used to define the Information Security Policy can be gathered by first running a risk analysis report. These reports look at your business model and create a data structure that can be used to inform a company about where their greatest risks are within the company and around the entire work place. Certain “must-have” check boxes for items that should be included in an information security policy are Acceptable Use Policy, Wireless Policy, Email Policy, and Encryption Policy. These...
