COMPUTERS IN THE WORKPLACE

 The industry I have chosen to discuss is the military industry. Computers play an essential role in the military. We live in a digital age, and the military adopts certain technologies that can help in any way possible. First, the military is no exception to the world's current state, where people must communicate while respecting social distancing. We currently use Microsoft Teams to conduct our mandatory meetings. Many are teleworking and use multiple apps to stay on top of their tasks. Secondly, the military has been moving towards the unmanned type of warfare vehicles. For example, we have unmanned drones that fly using computers to keep military members away from danger. Some of these drones are even controlled by Xbox controllers (Wired, 2008).

The military will continue to adapt technology to prevents loss of life. It is essential to be computer literate because as technology advances, so does the military's technology. It may take some time to incorporate brand new tech into the military career fields, but it eventually comes, and we must adapt. Technology is all around us, and we use it to make our life's easier. However, computer literacy may be the difference between life and death, so it is essential to understand. I believe that the military will continue to adapt to technology that keeps its personnel alive, like crewless vehicles that can approach a fight without risking people's life. Smart weapons can be released from an increased distance and can guild to a target (we have some already) with great precision. The ability to use specific operating systems and to navigate user interfaces will be a nece

REDDIT MOBILE APP: A BRIEF REVIEW

       Reddit is a social media platform where people can discuss and view topics that are of their interest. Reddit is accessed through a web browser or mobile app. I have used the mobile app for over eight years and love it. The concept differs from the traditional social media giants (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) in that the users don’t post selfies or personal information (typically). The app allows users to post images, videos, or ask a question. Users post whatever they want in specific categories called subreddits. The app also uses an up-vote/down-vote system where the most popular posts will populate the home page and generate the most discussions. Reddit has a home page that contains the most popular post for any given category. The users can tailor their viewing experience by following subreddits that are of interest to them. The heart of the app is in the comment section, where users can discuss with one another. The comment section follows the same ...

JAVA: Object-Oriented Programming Concepts

As a technical professional, it's crucial not only to possess the ability to work with programming languages like Java but also to effectively communicate complex concepts in a way that resonates with both technical and non-technical audiences. Let’s explore Java installation briefly and dive into the core principles of object-oriented programming (OOP) that form the backbone of Java development. Java Installation: Setting the Foundation To begin working with Java, the first step is to ensure that the Java Development Kit (JDK) is properly installed on your machine. The JDK includes everything needed to compile and run Java applications. While I won’t walk through every step here, I recommend referring to official documentation or trusted guides for detailed installation instructions.      To download JDK 23, follow the address below: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/?er=221886     I nstallation instruction can be found here: https://...

TRAVELING THROUGH A NETWORK

  This was my first experience using a command prompt to ping an traceroute and IP address. I learned a lot and found it interesting to track a packet as it travels through the internet. Even more interesting, the ping and Tracert command have various options to change how the command is ran. The packet travels through the network by a series of hops until it arrives at its destination. Each 'hop' represents a host that the packet travels through before the destination host. I ran a Ping command to three different websites. I was surprised to find out that the website located on Japan servers resulted in the fast round trip time at an average of 9ms. The Google website, as well as the Australian website, took 55ms and 69ms, respectively. No website resulted in any packet loss.  While trying to find websites to ping, I noticed that government websites resulted in 100 percent packet loss. I thought something was wrong at first until I choose a different website. I believe this m...
