That is how I felt before I decided to go back to school. I realized that without a college education that my life was going nowhere. I had no future. I had to break out of this pit that had become my life and chosen job. Without a college degree I was going nowhere had no future. Deciding to get a degree is all good and well, but what degree what path? How does one go about making a decision of this magnitude? It is an overwhelming task that can be frightening. It’s like looking up from the bottom of a hundred foot deep pit and trying to figure out how to get out of the pit and back into the sunlight, it’s scary. Well I know that I enjoyed working with and building computers, and I enjoyed the security field. I started searching to see if combining these 2 fields was feasible or possible. To my delight and pleasure there was a degree program that did cover both of these fields together it was called Cybersecurity. After reading up on Cybersecurity I felt it was a field that I would enjoy. But what exactly is Cybersecurity? After much research what I discovered is that Cybersecurity is different technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access....

...Dorsey Douglas En1320 Module 2 lab 2.1 Creating an Outline The Gaming Industry and all its Fantastical Amazement Introduction: It was once said that videogames would be just a fade. Something that would last about as much as the next generations fasion sense. Course I say its been said, as if there has been an actual book written. By they I mean my father. I cannot think of a time when videogames were not apart of my life. From my earliest memories I can tell you certain patterns from pong, pacman, etc. It has only been the natural progression of who I am that I would want my career to fall into something dealing with the gaming industry. As I said, once considered a fade, it is now a growing billion dollar industry. Hollywood Films, Symphony, Broadway Shows, have all had a tale from a game inspire their respective form of media. For me however it’s a specific part of the industry that I would love to be apart of. That’s the Story telling. I feel as if todays games are truly immortalized by the stories that they tell. From Mario saving the Princess from bowser, to The World Being over Run by a corrupt Private Military Corp. Gaming is where I want to tell my stories. Conclusion: In conclusion, With my focus on school and now my new Career job, I see only great progress in my journey to become the next great gaming story teller. I don’t see much stopping me from my goals but myself. I want to some day be able to sit at the VGA’s and if...

...Major Milestones of the Telecommunications Industry 1837 Samuel Morse invents the telegraph - The information age began with the telegraph, which was invented by Samuel F.B. Morse in 1837. This was the first instrument to transform information into electrical form and transmit it reliably over long distances. The earliest form of electrical communication, the original Morse telegraph of 1837 did not use a key and sounder. Instead it was a device designed to print patterns at a distance. 1858 Transoceanic telegraph cable is laid – The transoceanic telegraph cable is an undersea cable running under the Atlantic Ocean used for telegraph communications. The first communications occurred August 16, 1858, reducing the communication time between North America and Europe from ten days, the time it took to deliver a message by ship, to a matter of minutes. 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invents the telephone - The telegraph was followed by Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the telephone in 1876. The magneto-telephone was one of the first telephones on which both transmission and reception were done with the same instrument. 1885 - Incorporation of the American Telephone and Telegraph company (AT&T). After its incorporation in 1885, the American Telephone and Telegraph company dominated the telecommunications market. 1888 - Heinrich Hertz discovers the electromagnetic wave 1895 - Marconi begins experimenting with wireless telegraph 1901 Guglielmo Marconi invented the radio—the...

...Unit 1 Research 1 PT1420 In the 1970s the programming language that was most popular was Pascal. Pascal was designed in 1968-69 but published in 1970. Niklaus Wirth created the Pascal language to “1) make available a language suitable for teaching programming as a systematic discipline based on fundamental concepts clearly by the language, and 2) to define a language whose implementations could be both reliable and efficient on then-available computers. In 1972 the C programming language was developed by Dennis Ritchie. C was created to work with the system Unix. “Unix gives C such advanced features as dynamic variables, multitasking, interrupt handling, forking, and strong, low-level, input-output. Because of this, C is very commonly used to program operating systems such as Unix, Windows, the MacOS, and Linux.” In the 1980s the popular programming language was C++. C++ was developed at Bell Laboratories. C++ is a general purpose multi-paradigm spanning compiled language that has both high-level and low-level languages’ features. It was started as an enhancement to the C programming language, Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979. In the 1990s Java was the popular programming language. It was created in 1991 developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems and release in 1995. In the 2000s Visual Basic (VB) was popular in the programming world. VB was developed from BASIC which was originally developed in 1964 by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurts. VB is a Microsoft programing language and software...

...Electronics rely heavily on electronic switching and amplification to generate and capture the various signals which allow them to operate. A controllable valve that allows a small signal to control a much larger signal does this, and could be related to a controllable valve used in the control of water flow. This was once done by a device known as vacuum tube but was later brought down to a much lower production scale for a variety of industrial, economical and business related reasons. Bell Laboratories, the research arm of telecommunications company American Telephone and Telegraph’s (AT&T) director Mervin Kelly put together the first team of researchers and scientists placed on the task of research and development of a solid state-semiconductor later called a transistor that would supersede vacuum tubes and provide numerous advantages. The success of this development would prove to change the computing, electronics and telecommunications systems altogether. Up until the invention of the transistor a vacuum tube was used in the control, amplification and generation of electrical signals. Vacuum tubes are tubes usually made from glass and designed in an airtight manner as to keep the flow of “cathode rays” from external disturbance as they pass from each terminal and laid the foundation for numerous technical innovations, such as the light bulb discovered by Thomas Edison (fig. 1). Joseph John Thomson further made a vacuum tube and placed a third terminal to attain a grasp...

...Blogging is popular among the people in today’s society, especially amongst teenagers. In fact, the number of blogs is exploding, with about 14 million existing blogs. On average, the number of blogs is doubling every five months. There are many advantages of blogging. Firstly, people can use as an online dairy, using it to share the day’s happening in her life with other visitors on the net. Furthermore, if the blogger (author of the blog) has met up with certain incidents in her life, he can share it on the blog and others can console or praise him, by giving comments or leaving a message in the blog’s tag board, depending on the incident. Blogging can also be a good way to relieve stress as some way wants to use their blog to vent out their frustration or pour out their woes when stress becomes too much for them. Some bloggers even use their blogs to flaunt their literati skills by posting poems about themselves or things around them. Secondly, bloggers can also use their blogs to inform others on a certain topic which happens to be his niche, thus allowing others who are interested in the topic to learn some tricks from the blog, they are also post questions to the blogger if they meet up with problems. Even Mr. Donald Trump is doing so, he launched the Trump Blog last month to share his insights into and answer questions about corporation ethics, personal success and business dilemmas. Other organizations are also using blogs to make announcements to...

...As the old saying goes “Only the strong survives,” seems to be true in this struggling economy, and this statement is true when referring to AT&T which is among the strongest company’s listed in the Fortune 500. AT&T’s success is garnered by a willingness to function well as an organization, and also by being leaders in innovation. For a company to be successful there has to be proper planning, organizing, leading, and controlling on their part, coupled by the awareness of internal, and external factors, and how they affect the company. According to "AT&T" (2012), "We're recognized as one of the leading worldwide providers of IP-based communications services to businesses. We also have the nation's largest 4G network – covering 275 million people, and 2,000 more 4G cities and towns than Verizon, and the largest international coverage of any U.S.” That statement alone says that AT&T has a well defined business plan, and economical external factors, such as their competition will not stand in their way. AT&T has not allowed internal factors like having to find qualified people for the jobs, and then training them affect their “bottom line,” and they understand that the quality of their employees affect their customer satisfaction, and customer satisfaction is key when dealing with a competitive market. One of the main components of the four function of management is leading. Leading in this sense is, stimulating the employees to achieve their goals and perform...

...college of business were our focal point. Surveys were given to students with questions regarding financial hardships caused by laptop requirement and their opinions of the policy among others. Faculty was interviewed on their thoughts and how the policy helped with the classroom. Administration helped with the reasoning behind implementing the policy and some hints to phase outs of the computer labs located in the college of business. We found that students believed that the policy is not effective, but should be enforced. For faculty, some believe that the policy is helpful for learning and welcome laptops in the classroom while others feel that laptops can be a distraction to everyone. The administration implemented the policy because they want students to have the ability to work anywhere at any time with the specialized tools/software needed for courses taken. They also feel laptops are necessary for non-traditional students who may be full time professionals and have the option to complete courses online. Rumors that the laptop requirement was put into place because of possible computer lab phase outs are false, null, and void. To improve the effectiveness of the laptop requirement in the college of business, we recommend the following: * Making sure students/faculty are aware of the laptop requirement * Enforcing consequences for those who don’t have a laptop Thank you for welcoming our concerns and suggestions through this project.
