Final Project: Tech Topic Connection to IT Fundamentals

  Few inventions have reshaped the modern world like the Internet and the Web. What began as a Cold War-era experiment in decentralized communication has evolved into the heartbeat of modern civilization. Virtually every function of society today relies on the internet and its accessibility. This blog post aims to explore the Internet and the Web as a foundational component of Information Technology, linking its evolution to the core principles of computing, hardware, programming, software, databases, and network architecture. Today, the Internet is more than just a method of communication; it’s become an ecosystem, a public stage for anyone to showcase any information, or a space to sit and absorb knowledge. The field of Information technology is partly dependent on the existence of the Internet and vice versa. The Internet and the Fundamentals of Information Technology What began as a secure military communication safeguard in the case of nuclear catastrophe during the Cold Wa...

Documenting a Day: Insights Into The Functionality and Purpose of Various Software Programs

  In today’s digital age, the workforce is increasingly dependent on software applications that serve as tools of the trade. Similar to how carpentry requires saws and mechanics require wrenches, today’s information-based jobs demand technical fluency in various software applications. Navigating these applications effectively has become a desirable professional skill, offering a competitive edge in the job market. While completing my task of cataloging a daily routine, it became clear that while many applications can get the job done, some are better suited than others. Software like word processors, spreadsheets, presentation tools, and database systems all offer valuable features, yet each application has its strengths, its specific purpose for certain tasks. While various applications have their own strong suits and functions, Microsoft Word was the most effective in cataloging and documenting a daily routine/schedule due to its ease of use, quick ability to format, and ability ...

Programming Languages

  In my first hands-on experience with programming, I dove into Scratch, a block-based visual programming language designed to teach the foundational logic of coding. Scratch isn’t your average console full of cryptic and confusing symbols; it’s a visual representation of programming logic represented as brightly colored puzzle pieces that represent programming functions. At first glance, it might seem simple, maybe even juvenile. But as I spent more time with it, I realized that Scratch teaches you something more critical than syntax: it teaches logic, flow, and precision. It provides insight into the programming process in a tangible and digestible way. Building a Scratch program, I encountered challenges right out of the gate. Timing character movements, syncing actions, and getting sequences right took effort. I had to learn to debug through trial and error, observing how a misplaced block or a poor sequence could unravel an entire string of actions. I overcame these issues t...
