Programming is a very fundamental part of information technology. The software on the computers and electronic devices we use daily had to be created using a programming language. In most cases, that software continues to be updated and maintained by someone (probably a team).

Network Security
Network security is essential for both individuals and organizations. As security breaches become more common, protecting sensitive and valuable information is crucial. Knowing about the different types of attacks and threats is essential to protecting against them. A few of those are ping command attacks, computer viruses, and phishing.
Computers in the Workplace - Retail/Food Service
I have worked quite a bit in the retail and food service industries. Computers are used daily in these industries. The gas station/convenience store chain I currently work for is a little of both because we are a fast food restaurant in addition to selling the typical snacks and convenience items. The registers, self-checkouts, and order points customers use to order food are very high-tech touchscreens. Also, the screens back in the kitchen and the coffee machines use touchscreen technology, and a robot is programmed to mop the floor by itself.
Role of Applications Reflection
For this school assignment, I had to document a typical day in my life using the various Office applications. It started with a journal entry, which included a list of the different tasks I completed. Then, I had to place those in a spreadsheet, calculate the total time spent on each task, and display a graph. Lastly was a visual presentation to depict the tasks. What follows is my reflection on my experience and the advantages and disadvantages of each application for this purpose and others.
Mobile App Review - Google Podcasts
Note: This post was originally written before Google announced that they are discontinuing Google Podcasts in favor of migrating users over to YouTube Music. I include some final thoughts related to this news at the end.
I have chosen to review the Google Podcasts mobile app for Android devices. This is undoubtedly one of the most used apps on my phone, as I enjoy regularly listening to several podcasts while driving, working out at the gym, doing chores around the house, or going for a walk outside. There may be better podcast apps out there, and there are some features I wish it had, but overall, it is a nice and straightforward app for listening to podcasts.
