WEEK 9 POSTING - WHY NETWORKS ARE IMPORTANT IN EVERYDAY TECHNOLOGY

Welcome back to another week of the blog! This week, we will discuss why networks are important in everyday technology. In today’s world, networks connect computers, phones, printers, smart devices, and many other technologies, allowing people to communicate and share information quickly and efficiently.

Networks are important because they make internet access and communication possible. Whether people are sending emails, attending online classes, streaming videos, or working remotely, networks allow devices to exchange data with one another. If you think back in the olden days before the invention of computers, messages were often sent through letters or messengers, and it could take days or even weeks before receiving a reply. Today, networks in technology make it possible to send messages instantly and receive responses within minutes, making communication much faster and easier than ever before.

Another reason networks are important is that they allow devices to share resources. For example, multiple computers can use the same printer, internet connection, or storage system through a network. Companies such as Cisco and Netgear develop networking equipment that helps homes and businesses stay connected securely and efficiently. Networks also support services such as cloud storage, video calls, and online gaming, all of which have become important parts of everyday life.

Thank you for reading this week’s blog! I hope this helped you better understand the importance of networking in everyday technology. Feel free to share this blog with others who may find it useful, and don’t forget to leave a productive comment or question. See you in the next blog!

  WEEK 2 - THE TRAITS OF A TECH As many of you may know from my previous post, I am currently studying IT at Bellevue University in a fully online program. After completing the first week of classes, I have gained a better understanding of the key traits a technology professional should possess—the essential dos and don’ts. I’ve also realized that these are fundamental principles that are often overlooked in the workplace. While these traits are important for IT professionals, they also serve as valuable ethical guidelines that can benefit any work environment. Let’s take a closer look at these traits. Honesty/Integrity My course materials define honesty as telling the truth and integrity as doing the right thing, and I strongly agree with both definitions. However, I believe honesty goes beyond being truthful to customers or supervisors—it also involves being truthful with yourself. Being honest with yourself requires self-reflection, such as putting yourself in others’ situations...

  WEEK 5 POSTING - POWER SUPPLY Hello, lovely people, it is another exciting beginning of the week, which means we get to learn about something new this week. My question for today is, have you ever wondered what keeps your computer running? The answer is the power supply , also known as the PSU. It might not be the most exciting part of a computer, but it is one of the most important. So, what exactly does a power supply do?
