My experience creating a blog

Creating this blog has been a valuable learning experience that allowed me to explore information technology concepts in a creative and practical way. I applied several blogging best practices, such as crafting engaging titles, using relevant images (like the Ethics of AI in Blogging comic strip), categorizing posts with labels, and writing in an informative, conversational tone that suits an educational platform. I also focused on ethical considerations, especially when discussing topics like AI and cybersecurity, by properly citing sources and avoiding misleading information. 

 
One challenge I encountered was formatting the blog layout to make it both visually appealing and accessible. At first, some posts appeared cluttered, but by using white space, bullet points, and consistent headings, I improved my readability. Another hurdle was integrating scholarly sources naturally into a blog format, but I found that using APA citations at the end helped maintain academic integrity without disrupting flow. This blog can serve as a useful resource throughout my academic journey, especially as a portfolio to showcase my understanding of IT topics. I plan to maintain the blog by adding new posts as I progress in future courses and by updating existing content to reflect the latest developments in the tech field.

Network Security

  In today's digital age era, individuals and organizations are increasingly reliant on computer systems for communication, productivity, and data storage. With this reliance comes vulnerability to a variety of cyber threats. As outlined in CertMaster Learn tech+ ( TestOut Corp., 2024), information and system security are essential for protecting sensitive data, maintaining user privacy, and ensuring the integrity of operations. Without strong security measures, systems become susceptible to attacks that can lead to significant financial loss , reputational damage, and legal consequences. This paper explores the importance of network security, with a focus on two specific threats: phishing and malware/ ransomware . It also offers practical recommendations to mitigate these threats and safeguard information systems.   Phishing is a cyberattack technique in which attackers trick individuals into revealing confidential information such as usernames and passwords.

Computer importance in everyday life

Computers have become valuable in the healthcare industry, reshaping how patient care is delivered, how data is managed, and how healthcare professionals interact with information. From electronic health records to diagnosing ima ging systems, the integration of computer systems ensures accuracy, efficiency, and timely decision-making. In hospitals and clinics, computers are used for scheduling, billing, lab work, prescriptions, and accessing real-time patient information streamlining in both administrative and clinical tasks.   Computer literacy is crucial for healthcare employees because nearly every task requires interaction with a digital system. Physicians and nurses must navigate software effectively, tech nicians must operate complex diagnostic equipment, and administrators rely on database systems for managing patient flow and ins urance claims. A lack of computer proficiency can lead to medical errors, data breaches, and workflow bottlenecks, ultimately compromising...

Day to day activities

  Yesterday was a typical day for me somewhat I could not remember it was two weeks yet for my haircut appointment, so I did not end up getting my haircut as I usually do in the morning like I usually do. However, I spent it in because it is the weekend, and I do not have to wake up early for work. I brushed my teeth around 8:30am then I went to my favorite coffee shop around 9:40am and got a cold brew to get my day started and feel energized. I also made an extra stop to the bagel shop to get a couple breakfast sandwiches.   These are my usual tasks that help me get my days somewhat started on the weekends because usually it is a struggle to get started as early, I wanted to because of some of my longer w eeks at work. For example, four out of the five days I worked this week from 4:30/5:30 till 7:30pm at night. On the weekends I try to make time for everything when I can so most things get split in half and half would be school reading and the rest would be cle...
