‘’Computers and society’’
Nowadays, Computer is important in the society almost everyone is using the Computer. Computer has really changed the society in many ways because of its amazing power. Computer is now used in different fields such as education, government, publishing and many more. Imagine the first computer is the abacus 5,000 years ago and it can only do two operations the addition and subtraction but now look a computer this present has many lots of uses you can even go to the net using internet browsers such as Netscape, Internet explorer and many more. We don’t know maybe in the future the world is controlled by computer. When we’re using the computer we are also communicating with each other. Communication is the process of sending a message from a human source to a human receiver. Today electronic communications are everywhere for example the Internet, Instant Messaging, Newsgroups and so on. This is made possible by network we use network a collection of computers and devices connected to gather via communication devices and transmission media. Without networks we cannot communicate with each other. A while ago I discuss about the Internet by using the Internet we can enter cyberspace. Cyberspace is a term used to describe the Internet and other networks. In searching the net we have to make sure that we crosscheck and make sure that if you will copy it make sure that we have to recognize the person who make the work we can do this by referencing it. In cyberspace we have to observe proper behavior online it is called netiquettes. Each of us has different responsibilities online. The cyber citizens or netizens have responsibilities. They should show good manners. They should always respect the person that they are communicating in the net by following netiquettes. Today people rely on computers to create, store, and manage critical information’s we have to be careful in searching the net because maybe a computer security risk may occur. A computer security risk is any event or action that could cause a loss or damage to computer hardware, software, data, information, or processing capability. The more common security risk may include viruses and many more. Examples of computer viruses are Trojan horse and worm example of worms are the MELISSA virus and the I LOVE YOU virus. You have to be careful in the net because viruses can affect the performance of your computer it may even destroy your computer. By following some guidelines in preventing viruses you can prevent computer viruses, worm and Trojan horse infections.
