Send Back-up!! (Week 10)

 

You’re almost done completing your last task for the day… and boom your computer crashes! What do you do? Do you have a backup plan in place…. Are you panicking because you lost all that hard work?!


This is one of the many reasons you should have a backup recovery plan in place! in the event that something happens you are able to restore all your data. Depending on your needs, your backup plan may look different from another person’s plan. Ideally, when creating a recovery plan, you should decide a few things first, where you want to store your backups, and what you want to back up. Once you have these key factors figured out, you can start your back-up process, whether you choose a cloud service, external hard drive, USB, etc. pick the method that fits your needs best! Just because you did your initial back-up doesn’t mean you stop there; a back-up should be done periodically to ensure that all your new files, applications, images etc. are updated in on your choice of back-up method. Also, be sure to test your back ups every so often to ensure that the data is still
viable, and everything is in order.  

 

Happy Computing!

Never to late (Week 1)

  Hello cyberworld, You can call me K! Allow me to introduce myself: I am a Junior in college, and currently working towards a bachelor’s degree in information technology! Exciting right?! The first time I ever used a computer was in 1997 at a mere age of 5... back in the floppy disc era 😂 The first OS I got to experience was Windows 95… It seems like forever ago. Being able to experience the evolution of Operating Systems, and how much technology has evolved is astounding. Although, my favorite OS will always be Windows XP! My love for technology started at a young age, between self-teaching myself the basics of HTML and how to manipulate it at the age of 14 and watching my dad fix and rebuild computers growing up. It was then that I knew I wanted to learn more about tech. While I waited to start college and pursue my degree, I feel that it is never too late to do something you enjoy. Even if you start college at the age of 30… is 30 to late?! Definitely not, never give up on you

Mother bored? (Week 2)

  Holy mother of boards… or should I say motherboards! Have you ever wondered why they are called motherboards? I have! Out of all the names they could have chosen, that’s what they decided on…😂    Interestingly, circuit boards that are plugged into a motherboard are called “daughterboards”.   Based on the naming, one might assume that the motherboard is the brains behind the operations; but that would actually be the central processing unit. Think of the motherboard as the base of operations, where information comes and goes. Traveling through the motherboard to get from one place to another. If you ask me, I think a better fitting name would be: Main circuit board  Moving on from the technicality of weird names for computer components. Did you know that before Microsoft’s graphic user interface, there was such thing as command user interface? Instead of the easy clicking of your everyday desktop icon, you had to type out what task you wanted the computer to perform! I could not im

Do we really need air?! (Week 4)

Image
  Air is extremely important in all aspects. Imagine, it’s a hot summer day… your air conditioning went out, you open all the windows to keep from overheating; allowing the gentle breeze to travel and flow through one open window to the other. Giving you the necessary airflow to keep your house a smidge cooler and to help circulate stagnate air. Similarly, this can be translated into airflow in computers. Why is airflow in computers crucial? Having proper airflow helps keep your computer cool and improves longevity. Afterall, the hardware sits inside a box all day… it would start to get hot and overheat if not for having the necessary airflow. Some things to think about in terms of your computer’s airflow are fans, vents, and hardware placement. All of these can play a role in keeping your computer running smoothly and efficiently. Ideally, you should always maintain and ensure that your device has the necessary airflow to run properly. To do this, you should make sure the vents an
