History of computer net

The history of computer networking starts with Moore’s Law. Moore’s Law was based off hypothesis by Gordon Moore. 
 in 1965 he stated that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits would double every year since their invention. Moore’s Law predicts that this trend will continue into the foreseeable future. Gordon Moore was indeed correct with his guest which up today people find surprising that he was right.  However, in 1965 there were other people who tried other things these people’s names are Thomas Marill and Lawrence G. Roberts they created the first wide area network (WAN). This so happen to be an immediate precursor to the Arpanet, of which Roberts had become a program manager. While at the same time, the first widely used telephone switch that used computer control was introduced to the public by (Western Electric). 

1945 The “Memex” concept & 1949- The Birth of the Modem

 In 1945 the Memex concept was adopted. The imaginary Memex desk is meant to let a user compare and create links between microfilm documents, somewhat like today’s clickable Web links and bookmarks with side-by-side screens. The idea is that people will continually build on each other's associative trails through the world's knowledge, helping tackle the growing problem of information overload. The Memex is the brainchild of top U.S. scientist Vannevar Bush, an analog computing pioneer who had helped oversee the atomic bomb's development. The basic mechanism he suggests is a microfilm automatic selector similar to those built by optics pioneer Emmanuel Goldberg in the early 1930s. Bush publicizes the Memex concept in 1945 articles in The Atlantic Monthly and Life. In most recent times for the memex concept was brought to the light on a TV show where they used it in a different in order to search for something or someone they were looking for.

In 1949 the one thing that we still use highly across the world was born, and that is the birth of the modem.Computers “talk” over ordinary voice phone lines through modems. Developed in 1949 for transmitting radar signals by Jack Harrington’s group at the Air Force Cambridge Research Center (AFCRC) near Boston, the modem modulates digital data into sounds and demodulates received sounds into digital data. (MODulation + DEModulation = MODEM). Modems will be adapted to computers in 1953 for the upcoming SAGE system and commercialized by Bell Telephone in 1958. By letting computers use normal voice telephone lines, they offer greater coverage and lower costs than dedicated telegraph or leased data lines.

Both of the things that have been mention have helped all types of people and all types of different hardware, or should I say networks. The modem for sure has been the one that has helped me the most because without a modem I problem wouldn't have internet depending on what it is that I am doing, almost everything that we as humans have nowadays has some modem that is collecting information from somewhere and sending it to another modem that is being used with another computer.

Continue history of computers Network

 Throughout the years, there has been so much history being made with computer networking. The history to me that made computer networking a massive success was back in world war 2 in 1933 the Telex messaging network came to life. Like the Volkswagen Beetle and modern freeway systems, the Telex messaging network comes from the early period of Germany’s Third Reich. Telex starts as a way to distribute military messages. Still, it soon becomes a world-wide network of both official and commercial text messaging that will persist in some countries into the 2000s. Telex uses teleprinters, which date back to the 1910s for use in telegraphy. But instead of using pricey dedicated telegraph lines, the telex system connects those teleprinters to each other over voice telephone lines, routed by modified telephone switches. Wireless versions of Telex soon connect remote regions of the developing world. Telex messaging was a critical piece of equipment around that for the military to relay their messages around so that whoever was going to be apart of a mission would already know what they were going to do and where they were heading.

However, in 1934, history continues to top its self stunningly. In 1934 Belgian Paul Otlet has a modest goal: collect, organize, and share all the world’s knowledge. Otlet had co-created a massive “search engine” starting in the early 1900s. His Mundaneum now combines enhanced card catalogs with sixteen million entries, photos, documents, microfilm, and more. He is working on integrating telegraphy and multiple media, from sound recordings to television. In the 1930s, British writer H.G. Wells and American scientist Vannevar Bush are advancing similar goals—Wells with his “World Brain” writings and Bush with the Memex, a microfilm-based Web browser. These approaches to organizing information differ. But all share key features of today’s Web, including automated cross-references – which we call hyperlinks.

Opening All Doors: Digital and Hybrid Music in Music Teaching and Learning

 Digital learning has so many different factors; one of those factors is music teaching. For so many reasons learning music or anything can be beneficial when one is learning digitally.  There are questions that people tend to ask themselves, such as:

• Why did these students not make music in school?
• What types of music are they interested in?
• Did they play an instrument outside school?
• What types of music did they listen to?

Have you asked yourself those questions before? I bet at least once you may have thought it and wanted to know the answer's to that.

Learning about hybrid music can be truly fun. Think of it like this, In The Learner-Centered Music Classroom: Models and Possibilities (Williams & Kladder, 2019), the contributors suggest benefits associated with embracing new models of music instruction, including increased engagement, excitement, energy, and learning outcomes when students learn through alternative and self-directed approaches. As the music in contemporary culture continues to shift and change, our understanding of music teaching and learning will need to embrace alternative music-making opportunities across the music curriculum. As I am sure you do, all students are inherently musical, and most make music outside school, even if they do not participate in a formal ensemble. These experiences can enrich and encourage new and innovative approaches for music-making.

Networking Technology

 What is Networking Technology?

Networking technology allows for the easy exchange of data between large and small information systems used primarily by businesses and educational institutions. Network technicians, also known as network engineers or specialists, are responsible for configuring, installing, and troubleshooting the technology used to transmit digital information, including audio, visual, and data files. Through networking, end-users can transmit files, messages, and other data through e-mail or various other channels, sharing information through Internet or Intranet connections, based on an organization's needs.

The development of a network involves assessing an organization's administrative and informational requirements and evaluating hardware, installation, training, security, and account management costs. Once a network is deployed, networking technicians can check to see if any problems are going on with the internet or even if there is any kind of malware or spyware that was placed on your computer.

Careers in IT and why IT

There are so many different careers in IT. Information technology uses computers to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data or information. IT is typically used within the context of business operations as opposed to personal or entertainment technologies. IT is considered to be a subset of information and communications technology. When I was a kid, I used to wonder why information technology is so important? As time went on, I noticed that more and more companies wanted to implement a more advanced way of doing things. Companies like Microsoft and Google and Apple etc., were doing things that other companies from the early 2000s would never think of doing. Some examples of why information technology is so important to us all are as followed 

• Data overload: Businesses need to process huge amounts of data. This requires large amounts of processing power, sophisticated software and human analytical skills.
• Mobile and wireless usages: More employers are offering remote work options that require smartphones, tablets and laptops with wireless hotspots and roaming ability.
• Cloud services: Most businesses no longer operate their own “server farms” to store massive amounts of data. Many businesses now work with cloud services—third-party hosting platforms that maintain that data.
• Bandwidth for video hosting: Videoconferencing solutions have become more and more popular, so more network bandwidth is needed to support them sufficiently.

IT career opportunities

Now that you know the general responsibilities of an IT department, you may be wondering what the individual roles within are. Here are some of the positions that you’ll find in many IT departments:

• Computer support specialists work on the front lines troubleshooting any technology issues including software issues, computer crashes and hardware trouble. These specialists may also assist senior-level IT members with larger-scale network issues.
• Network systems administrators focus on the big picture of the network system, security and performance.
• Computer systems analysts work behind the scenes to marry IT with smart business solutions. They usually specialize in a particular industry while working for a technology firm or work directly in an industry, like finance or government.
• Information security analysts are responsible for the security of an organization’s computer networks, conducting tests and developing company-wide best security practices.

Keep in mind that some of these roles will change depending on the size and scope of the company. In smaller companies, most of your daily work may revolve around relatively mundane things like troubleshooting printers, but on the other hand, you may be required to be more of a jack-of-all-trades with broader knowledge. With large firms, IT employees have a more diverse array of potential focus areas—some may work upward into management and strategic planning roles, while others may pursue specialized areas like cybersecurity.

About My Self

 Hello, my name is Shaun Morgan. I currently live NY; I graduated from a college a few years ago with an Associates' degree. In my free time, I like to spend time with friends and family and occasionally play basketball along with some video games. The degree I am currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree in computer software technology. When it comes to this degree, I plan to one day start a business that involves starting a business in making and refurbishing technology for computers and phones and maybe game software. You can even possibly call me a computer nerd in a way😆 I’ve loved working with computers ever since I was little kid hence the computer nerd part. I plan to one day have career aspirations that will hopefully help to expand my love for computers and be able to take my blog & company to another level. The way I see my blog growing into something that people can get inspired by and say “hey this blog make me feels like I can do anything; however, the blog makes me want to learn more things about computer tech.
