Computers in the Workplace

The industry that I chose is healthcare. Technology has always been a big part of healthcare. If you go to a hospital there is technology everywhere that monitor and exam what is going on inside of the bodies of the patients. Technology in the healthcare industry may be the most important because it is an industry with very minimal room for era. These days robotic machines are able to do all sorts of things, even perform surgical operations. The attention to detail that these machines can pay is unrivaled and key to noticing patterns that lead to important discoveries. AI continues to become more knowledgeable, increasing its abilities and lessening the work load of employees. Workers in the healthcare industry must learn ways to interact with these machines and understand what they are doing to further improve speed and efficiency. It’s best to learn this information in college to ensure a level of familiarity with their tools. Health care institutions should emphasize the technical duties that will be expected of the employees with the technology that they use to gauge if their technological skills are competent.

 The network and hardware involved holds valuable data that and make finding solutions in the field easier. Without computer literacy, workers in health care will be unable communicate with things like AI and robots, who are essentially their coworkers.

So while these technological advancements are beginning to fill the roles that were occupied by employees, new roles are opening. Healthcare, like many other industries, is practically merging with the field of technology. The same knowledge about the human body is necessary to help facilitate procedures and operations alongside advancing technology. Technology is taking the stress away by performing strenuous tasks with automative technology. There are pros and cons to technology. They are effective and accurate but malfunctions are possible. The improvements that current and future technologies will bring to the healthcare industry will be worth the increased need for computer literacy.

Traveling Through a Network

The path for pinging the three websites all sent and received the same amount of packets without any loss. The path to Google was the quickest with an average roundtrip time of 85ms. The path to the Australian site, accountantsdaily.au, took the longest with an average round trip time of 285ms. The trace route to good took twenty four hops. For accountantsdaily.au it took twenty two. And the Chinese website that I chose, eggplantdigital.cn, was only sixteen hops. I noticed that the hops later in the route for each three site tended to be higher than the earlier ones. While Google had the highest amount of hops the average speed of those hops were faster than the other two sites. Eggplantdigital.cn had the lowest amount of hops with only sixteen. Geographic location is key to quicker routes. When pinging an IP address or domain that is far away it will take longer to complete. Pings and trace routes can help troubleshooting problems by pinpointing a location where communication is unabl...

Network Security

Individuals need information security to protect their important personal information from being stolen. They need system security to prevent harmful cyber attacks that hurt application programming or operating systems. There are many ways that your information and system security can be threatened and also many ways to protect it. Malware is malicious software that runs on a computer causes it to do harmful things like running services that charge you or messing up your data. Ransomware is a type of malware that steals data and holds it requiring you to meet specific terms to regain access.  It is important to regularly scan your computer for any malware. There may be important updates that patch any vulnerabilities. It is also smart to have back up data and being prepared in case of malware infection. One of the best ways to keep your information secure is through the use of antivirus software.  “It primarily works by using a list of known virus patterns, called definitions ...

Writing Efficient Programs

  Writing Better Programs: More Than Just “Making It Work” When I first started coding, my mindset was simple: if the program runs, I’m done. But after getting into data structures and algorithm design, I’ve realized that how a program works matters just as much as if it works. That’s where algorithmic design and data structures come in—they help you build programs that are not just correct, but efficient and well-structured. 🔹 Thinking Like a Programmer (Before You Code) One of the biggest changes I’ve made is slowing down before I start typing code. Instead of jumping straight into Java, I try to break the problem down into steps first. This is algorithmic design. For example, I’ll: Figure out what the program needs to do Write out the steps (kind of like pseudocode) Then translate that into actual code Doing this helps me avoid confusion and keeps my program organized from the start. 🔹 Are Some Algorithms and Data Structures Better? Yes—but not in a one-si...
