Mastering Computer Skills

Planning and organizing skills, I enjoy figuring out what is required in getting a job done and working out how and when it can be done. This can be seen in how I develop a personal study timetable and managing time around work and studies.

There are several consideration when thinking about whether utilizing a clod computing system in which you will work together with peers to collaborate on a project or not. One of the biggest considerations to have is the electronic security of the cloud you are working on. Without being naïve about the “hackers” capabilities, we need to make sure that whatever project we may be working on is protected from others for simple reasons such as data integrity or for more severe reasons such as national security if it a project we are working on for work that involves classified material. A hacker is a person or group of people that choose to illegally enter secure websites for illicit purposes. These hacker individuals are very advanced and usually have a very simple mission statement they follow as a justification for why it is they do what they do. Security is always at the top of peoples mind when doing

50 years from now the future will look pretty different from what we know now. There will be smartphones. There might possibly be flying cars. Also there will be machines that do everyday task for you. But the

Question #3 Three skills that are difficult for me to do are using a microscope because I have yet to use one, making certain graphs aside from bar graphs and line graphs, and using the metric system with the exception of linear measurements.

Technology and computerization has taken over almost every major industry today. More people purchase their movie tickets through an application on their phone, do their Christmas shopping online, deposit checks by taking a picture on their phone. Some people can even earn their degree without stepping their foot into a classroom, obtaining it completely online. With all of these advances in so many different

is a critical skill for jobs in many diverse fields: medicine, law, business, sports, agriculture, entertainment,

My greatest skill would have to be percussion and the process of playing all of the different instruments it entails. There's been a lurking version of percussion always in my life, whether it was when I was a toddler playing with a Fisher-Price plastic xylophone with tiny mallets, to when I didn't want to take piano lessons and began bashing the keys of my Casio keyboard because there were too many notes-per-chord for my 3rd grader self to be happy. Luckily, in 4th grade, my elementary school had a program entitled "Mallet Masters", which was a percussion ensemble filled with a bunch of marimbas. I had to audition to get in (a taste of audition anxiety at a young age), but once inside it was a huge shift in outlook for me. All the music was

He looks at the relationship between the wage of the job, the education required and its probability of computerization. The author evaluated around 700 jobs and ranked them based on how likely they are to be computerized. What was found showed that the low risk occupations were ones that either required the person to be very educated, or required a vast amount of social interactions. And the high risk occupations were the ones that required little knowledge and low social interaction. Low risk jobs ranged from therapists, to healthcare workers, and high risk ones like library technicians, data entry keyers, production labor, transportation, and telemarketers. Frey believes that this takeover will happen in two stages. First, computers will start replacing people in the vulnerable fields, then the rate of replacement will slow down due to bottlenecks in the harder to automate fields. This “technological plateau”(38) will be followed by a second wave of computerization, but this will depend on how advanced artificial intelligence becomes. The second wave will put jobs in management, science, engineering, and the arts at risk. Overall the author concluded that 45 percent of American jobs are at high risk of being taken by computers within the next two

Computer-based instruction, or CBI, is widely used to deliver content to learners of all ages. Although this form of instructional delivery has become nearly ubiquitous, levels of effectiveness of CBI vary, particularly when considering computer-based instruction for adults. In 2005, researchers Janis Lowe and Elwood Holton, III developed a theory regarding the elements necessary for an effective CBI experience with adult learners and then drew five conclusions based on their investigation. Lowe and Holton (2005) acknowledged a need for both external support and instructional support if an adult learner’s CBI experience will be deemed positive. Of their five conclusions, this one was of particular interest to me based on the different computer-based instruction experiences I have had.

Look around. Everyone has their faces buried into their phones, laptops, iPads, etc. Many people would say that technology is taking over in our everyday lives. I, however, beg to differ. Technology is one of the best things the human race could get their hands on. Yes it seems like everything is in “the Cloud” or everyone is tweeting, reposting, Snapchatting, and liking everything. But how I see it is, a way for people to communicate and share ideas they have with other like-minded people, accomplish papers and essays without having to go to a library because whatever device you use, has a search engine that can search any question you have. As an aspiring computer programmer, technology will always play a role in my career because someone is responsible for the software and programs that allow a computer to run, the world around us is always adapting, and without technology, where would computer programmers be? If I received the Evolve IP Cloud Scholarship, then the scholarship would be able to open so many doors for me because I would be able to afford continuing my education.

Some people are great at cooking or writing poetry. I am very good at typing on a computer and a laptop. I became an expert at typing by practice. Typing on a keyboard makes me feel successful in communicating and getting ideas out.

IT ability - I havent studied IT since the age of 13, and as i am now 21. i have poor knowledge of programs like excel. Although i am able to use other office programs like Word, and Powerpoint adequately.

Over the last fifty years our civilization has changed dramatically. Communication with friends and family has become as easy as the click of the mouse. Also we have saved countless trees by using electronic mail instead of paper mail. I agree that it is in our best interest to continue to use technology in the future. However, I feel that we all should get into the mindset of having a contingency plan in case we lose it. It is hard to go anywhere now days without interacting with a computer. A lot of jobs now require that you fill out applications on the internet. It has also become crucial that you have basic computer skills to be employed in any office setting. In 1994 only 3% of public schools had internet access. In just over ten years in 2005 that number had jumped to 94% of all public schools now having internet access. (US Department of Education) This just goes to show how fast technology is really growing. I feel that we are way to acceptant of something new and need to realize the repercussions before jumping right in. So many people rely on technology in their everyday lives. It could be from using your cell

With all of the things I’ve mentioned above, presently we are living in a great world, full of technology that has improved are lives and made it much more effortless, but it is extremely important to look to the future, what does it have in store for not only us but the generations to come afterwards? How will the technological advances discovered now improve the lives of those that will live in this world in the future?

Knowing all of this and how far the internet has already come…I realized how much farther the internet really has left to go. In a small window of time, the internet has had an extraordinary impact on how people live their daily lives. It gives the human mind the capability to access new ideas, information and endless possibilities. Which leads to the chronological question, if this is what the internet can do now, what will the future of the internet look like? Even though the internet has already had a significant impact on society thus far, nobody saw it coming even though everybody could predict it. In a world that is constantly changing, the internet is constantly adapting. The true computer revolution has begun but only cracked the surface into the boundless levels it has the capability to reach. In the future the internet will expand in three major areas, speed, intelligence and connection.
