keyboard shortcuts The keyboard shortcuts is about how “sometimes using the keyboard to do something is fast then using the mouse.”It showed us how to perform keyboard shortcuts. It said “ to perform a shortcut press ctrl and x then let go.” It also showed us how to find shortcuts. “In many applications you’ll find keyboard shortcuts next to menu items. Shortcuts are universal which means ones you use them you can use them for many things.” Mouse shortcuts The mouse can be used for many thing other than just clicking on websites or links. “It has capability it can save you time. By double clicking, triple clicking on the right button and the scroll wheel.”When you triple click you can triple click and it will highlight the whole paragraph automatically it also can do the URL. WHen you right click it gives an contextual menu.”Your scroll button can be useful in some application you can also click it like it is the left side button on the mouse.” password tips “Most people don’t put a lot of thought into making a password.” If you make a weak password it is easier for hackers to hack your files and apps.A lot of people use patterns, hoodies, or names for their passwords . Sometimes a lot of people give away their password in what they post or a really easy password they can remember like a pattern.”Never use personal information, make your password long, keep them in a secure places, don’t use the same password for every account, try to use uppercase lowercase symbols numbers, random passwords are the strongest.” backing up your files “We depend on tecnologie to do are everyday tasks.One of the easiest ways to backup your files is by copying it into your external hard drive. Keep ... ... middle of paper ... ...le device all you have to do is push the home button.” finding your downloads “When you spend time on the web you can download files.Sometime it can be difficult to find the files after downloading them.By defalt most computers will download it into a certain file most likly the downloads file. If you don’t see the downloads file then you can use the spotlight to find it.Sometime you can find it there so you can always search for the document.”Sometimes if you still can’t find it you can try re downloading it from an original source on the web. working with zip files “A zip file is a way a of group files can act like one file.” When together they are considered smaller.” You don’t need additional software to create or open zip files. You can add on to that zip file by dragging the file to the zip file option. You can make a password for your zip.”
However, I feel users had a different vision/perspective on security mechanisms and they trusted each other during those times and did not have to worry about protecting their information (this is how exactly, one person’s ignorance becomes another’s person’s - hacker, here bliss). This book helps us to understand the vulnerabilities; its impacts and why it is important to address/ fix those holes.
In this book Kotkin analyzes the issue of how technology is impacting our lives, where we live and how we work.
Alfred Edmond Jr. wrote the article, Why Asking for a Job Applicant’s Facebook Password is Fair Game. In the article he assessed and argued that you should provide your potential employer with your Facebook password because nothing is ever really private. Edmond effectively persuades the reader to agree with him by uniting his audience and establishing his credibility, providing scenarios that toy with the reader’s emotions, and by making logical appeals. In addition to making these appeals he successfully incorporates an informal tone that further sways the reader to grasp the essence of his argument. These are the elements that make Edmond’s argument valid and persuasive. He is able to convince us that providing a possible employer with something that is private such as our password will ultimately be beneficial for everyone in the situation.
Since the first person heard the wind whistle through the trees or the sea in a seashell humans have been drawn to sound. Being the oppressive and ingenious species that we are we felt the need to capture these sounds and any others that we could to keep for our own. Eventually people like Pythagoras and gods such as Apollo found that by stretching materials and picking/plucking them that they would produce sounds and that the tighter you stretched these strings the higher the sound would go. These were the early beginnings of the pianoforte.
As a new volunteer at St. Mary’s School in Canton, NY I was recently acquainted with the administration of Latchkey. Latchkey is an afterschool program for students at St. Mary’s that’s held in the school’s gymnasium. The program provides the kids with an opportunity to do schoolwork and play games if they are unable to go home directly after school. The program is run by a few adults and is facilitated by St. Lawrence students. Within the past few weeks I’ve witnessed the established style of leadership that drives Latchkey and the roles that the leaders and students have adopted. Although this style is sufficient for the program’s operation I believe the children would have a more fulfilling experience if this style was changed.
A big responsibility lies on the customers to protect their accounts from getting stolen by thieves. A part of that is using strong and complex passwords and using different passwords for different accounts. But still, the company can play a significant role in helping the customer protect their accounts by requiring minimum criteria for the passwords. For example, the password shouldn’t match the username, it should include letters, numbers and special characters, and it should be at least eight characters. Also, using double authentication methods for processing the purchases would have protected the
The essay “My technologically Challenged Life” by Monica Wunderlich has made me realize how much we need technology in our lives and how important it is for people to know how to use it. Technology is used for many different things like keeping in touch with relatives that live far from you and many other things. Technology keeps evolving very rapidly and it can be hard for people to keep up with all this new technology coming out, this is what this story is about. In this essay, a woman tells us about her experiences with technology, and tells her difficulties in everyday life because of her lack of experience with technology.
If you ask people to name one of the most important technologies of the twentieth century, one of the answers would most certainly be the computer. A computer, however, is not a technology all to itself. Many other technologies went into the modern home computers of today, including the mouse. Douglas C. Engelbart, a worker at the SRI (Stanford Research Institute), invented the mouse in 1964. However, the process of the invention of the mouse was not instantaneous and without effect on the realm of computing and society. In this paper I will be examining the problems that had to be overcome and the technologies that had to be invented for the mouse to become a reality. It also analyzes the impacts it has had on society and the computer industry.
The computer obsession began when the first computer was built in 1939. There are many uses of a computer like the proper way and the negative way. The way Annalee Newitz uses her computer is good and bad. The definition of a good teaching tool is the best way to teach a class or something that is taught. Using a good teaching tool is not always easy. There are many things about computers who make people depend or use too much to stop depending on technology.
When the entire body of knowledge concerning passwords is evaluated a few things become abundantly clear. First, passwords are going to be around for some time yet. There simply are no present alternatives that are cost competitive with passwords or that users can adopt in a successful manner. While it is certainly a noble effort to explore replacements for passwords, we cannot refuse to acknowledge their continued existence in the foreseeable future.
As indicated, usability is the ability of a user to find the information he/she seeks, process the information, and perform whatever functions as needed (Eccher, 2015, p. 7). The use of a navigation menu allows the user to peruse the website. There exist four primary pathways by which users are able to navigate a website: use of hyperlinks, streamline the navigation bar, keep sidebars separate, and include footers. Hyperlinks will be examined initially.
for it. One of which is to search for the information that you need through the
Long ago, people were simple and didn’t have many technologies. They used to take so much time in planning their projects, researching, and saving and recording their studying. Look around, this world changed a lot. There are cars, airplanes, computers, and many other technologies. Technology can be found everywhere, and we use depend on it a lot. One of the most important technologies is computers and laptops. Many people use them today in their daily lives and it eases many things for them.
It allows consumers and businesses to use applications without installation and access their personal files at any computer with internet access. E.g. Yahoo mail, Gmail, Hotmail.
Technology is the way which extends humans ability. It is very difficult to obtain a precise definition of technology. It is generally accepted that "technology" is more than just a collection of physical products of science. "Technology" is the link between society and its tools.
