...Military Technology Saif Alasmari ELS Berkeley Mel Potts Abstract On the one hand, we live in the technical world, which is my major at university where I learned a lot about technology. In my opinion, I believe that technology relates to every area. On the other hand, one of the specific areas that plays an important role in the country is military. The question is “does increasing military technology make us safer?” If so, how is military affected by technology, or the other way around. Therefore, some countries improve their military to their own purpose. In my paper, I want to let people know that military power is the most important sector in any country to live safer. In addition, the country should support the military financially. The strong military technology any country has, the safer the country will be internal and external affairs. In the future, people may understand why these massive developments in the military are important and they will be proud when they have a strong military. Introduction Allen West, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, said that “We must never forget why we have, and why we need our military. Our armed forces exist solely to ensure our nation is safe, so that each and every one of us can sleep soundly at night, knowing we have 'guardians at the gate.'”. Through methods of weaponization armies have been changed but the objective remains...

...The Evolvement of Technology over Decades and the continuing effect on the Environment | IT Essay | | The following text is characterized by an Essay in which it outlines in four solid body paragraphs, integral identified reasons whereby technology has developed, progressed and advanced over decades and what problems these are causing the environment. | | Chenoa Fawkes | 3/18/2014 | | Trends in Information and Communications in Technology have constantly evolved over the past century. The way information was stored has significantly changed. The way we communicate. The gadgets and devices we use to operate our daily life. Even to the point of programs on the computer that you simply press a button and amazing things happen. The problem we need to greatly consider is ‘What Impact does all these new sophisticated technologies have on the environment?’ When you consider the negative impacts on the environment in regards to ICT, it is frightening to think that there are some very harmful issues. Such issues include the production and distribution of ICT equipment, energy consumption and carbon emission during the use and disposal and recycling of equipment. Production and distribution of computers and other electronic devices is a very complicated and sometimes harmful process. Assembling a computer involves up to 1000 items, many of which are highly poisonous. ‘The list includes chlorinated and brominated substances, toxic gases, toxic metals, photoactive and...

...Cellular Communication (4G) 4G is not one defined technology or standard, but rather a collection of technologies and protocols aimed at creating fully packet-switched networks optimized for data. 4G networks are projected to provide speeds of 100 Mbps while moving and 1 Gbps while stationary. EVOLUTION OF DATA STANDARDS 4G 3G 2G 1G 0G Zero Generation Mobile Systems (0G) The radio telephone system preceded modern cellular mobile telephony technology (1G). The radio telephone system contained one central antenna tower per region. The central antenna required radio phones to have a powerful transmitter, capable of transmitting up to 50 miles. The number of radio telephones per region was limited by the number of available channels. Unlike closed radio systems, radio telephones were connected to the public telephone network and were typically mounted in cars, trucks, and briefcases. EVOLUTION OF DATA STANDARDS 4G 3G 2G 1G 0G First Generation Cellular Communication (1G) The 1G cellular telephone system divided cities into small cells. This division allowed extensive frequency reuse across a city, allowing millions to use cell phones simultaneously. 1G cell phone technology encompassed analog standards introduced in the 1980s and continued until replaced by 2G digital cell phones. EVOLUTION OF DATA STANDARDS 4G Second Generation Cellular Communication (2G) 2G digital technologies can be divided into two standards: TDMA (Time Division...

...two workstations one quality printer Internet access multiple email addresses. In most situations, the available finances to connect machines together to share files, printers and internet is limited. Therefore we should consider the cost of acquiring and setting up network adapters, hubs and other network devices such as gateways. An important factor that should be considered is the available options for connecting to the internet. Most areas of the United States have access to dial-up internet service through standard modems, most people prefer higher bandwidths which would require additional investment in broadband link such as Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) or the even fast Cable connection. This may demand additional equipment depending on the service provider. As stated, most small business networks are not maintained by an IT department. A small business would...

...workgroups need to be scalable. Scalability is the ease at which a network system can be expanded or upgraded should the need arise. As a rule, all computer workgroup networks should: • Support growth in the number of users for the foreseeable life of the technology • Allow for increase in data traffic and storage needs as the network grows • Be flexible to allow for the incorporation of new technologies as they emerge When new workgroups established, it is important to conduct and audit on the needs of the network users to find out what resources they need to access. This process will then inform your decision on that and with whom resources should be shared. In general, there are some basic areas and resources need to be shared. • Hardware peripherals ‐ Printers and scanners • Data ‐ Customer lists, Databases of sales information • Services ‐ Such as email • Other computers ‐ Both desktop and laptop computers • Personal digital assistants and smart phones Equipment requirement For a computer workgroup to be established, certain equipment must be used. As a rule, all workgroup networks should have computers that want to share resources on the network, along with: • Computers equipped with network cards It is an expansion card that enables a computer to connect to a network; ...

...BACKGROUND Omega Research is a rapidly growing research and consulting firm. They have a single main office located in Reston, VA and three small branch offices located in San Diego, CA, Salem, OR, and Kansas City, MO. Omega is not currently involved in e-commerce or business-to¬business relationships. Two weeks ago, Omega experienced a significant loss of proprietary data (estimated value $550,000.00) that was stored electronically in an Oracle database in their main office in Reston. The data was unrecoverable and backups were not being routinely maintained, so no restoration was possible. Although he has no hard evidence, Omega’s CTO believes that the loss resulted from deliberate deletion of files by a systems administrator from the Kansas City office that had been “let go” several weeks prior to the loss. Needless to say, the CTO has been tasked to “get things under control.” You have been hired as a consultant to develop a comprehensive plan for improving the company’s recovery posture in order to prevent future outage of Omega’s critical systems and network resources. Your guidance and observations will eventually be used to develop a long-term procedural and policy solution for Omega Research. The CTO has stepped up to the plate and made the commitment to do whatever it takes to address these issues. Baseline Network Infrastructure • Omega leverages AT&T Managed Internet Services for each of its office locations. • Omega owns and manages the border routers...
