Session 12

We are at the last session of the class this week. I will miss its discussion threads and mini projects. However, diferrent concepts we developed through this summer will be useful. This class is one of my favorite informative classes I have taken in college. I like the way the teacher designs the class. The thing I appreciate the most is the teacher's reliability. He was in the class all the time that I can't make the difference between face to face lecture and the online's. I like also the teacher’s cultural orientation. His feedbacks are punctual and very constructive. The course focused on our day to day technologies. It was a good journey if I can say so.

Session11

This is the final week. It is hard to focus on two major papers and concentrate on the final. I have a few postings that I have to fill up too. My laptop is back and I hope the revision will be smooth. I can use my computer while am commuting. I can also do my readings and writing.

session 10

In this session 10, we have to finish our group project. We are almost at the end. I woke up that morning to catch up with my readings, but oof!!!! My laptop cooling system failed. I started my deskstop it kept ask me to reboot the computer. I run to the community college close to myhouse to continue my work. When I got there, the library was closed. What is this curse? I didn’t want my collaborators to think that I dumped them!!!! This is some challenges we face when we rely too much on technologies.
Working with people on different corners of the world on a unique project is not easy. But people in my team were very discipline and want to be part of the task. I hope that in the session 11 we will be able to submit our project on time and be really for the final.

Session 9

This week, we cover security risk in the information system. Security is the challenge that we face on the regular basis. Either in shopping centers, hospitals, markets, or on social networks, we expose our information to anybody that can manipulate the technology. I was thinking about all those months I spent using my neighbor Wi-Fi network. I thought he was kind to me when he offered the chance to use his network. I hope he had not used this for his own personal gain. Now I’m worry because I didn’t know what he was doing with my information all that time. I know that he is in IT. This course on security thought me how our ignorance can leads us to our ruin. Now that I know the risk we face when using other’s network, computers and applications, it is very imperative for me to apply my organization requirements. Not only these requirements would be observed at my workplace, but I will also make sure that my family respects these guidelines at home. We will change our password regularly, install the firewall, and run the antivirus.
We also make a correction to the Wikipedia. During this exercise, it realized how easy it is manipulate wikipedia information. A classmate intentionally put wrong information that was turned down two hours later. Event the information was taken off, I believe that two hours are enough for somebody to use that information that was not right. I believe that Wikipedia is source where we can get quick information, but when using it for research, we should think twice.
