Word Processor

After reading the textbook chapter 5, Computer Applications, and the resources provided for this journal entry: Fundamentals of Information Technology & Literacy, I learned that: A word processor is a popular computer unit workstation application for designing structured text. The structured text describes a document's characteristics like text size, margins, bold text, italicized text, colors, the number of, and even rows. A word processor produces a file that supplies text along with formatting material. Beyond formatting, a modern word processor also supports the insertion of drawings and images. In disparity, a text file only supplies text, not including any formatting information, and usually has a filename extension lead like myfile.txt. Accessible apps like Notepad (for Windows) or TextEdit (for Macs) can be seen as text files. Microsoft Word is an excellent application for multipurpose that can be for many unique projects, such as writing a paper APA style to create your resume. The most crucial idea that several college undergraduates use Microsoft Word for is to help with composing tasks and projects, mainly for online discussion forums. I use Microsoft Word to write my discussion post. First, I type or text them in Microsoft Word. Then, I save them using my set-up Microsoft account or Gmail. After I create them, I upload them to my discussion forum. I do this because I can catch grammar mistakes using Grammarly, format my post the way I like, and many more. Below are a few different things you can do for your Microsoft Word projects.

Microsoft Word

· (PDF) Portable Document Format Creation

Convert other files and sources to Portable Document Format. The PDF format depends on your file type because the method determines the file you start.

· Cross-Platform Computer Products

can be created from systems that run in various forms of programs or operational settings.

· Spell/Grammar Check

The computer workstation demo will identify visible spelling and language errors by referring to a combined vocabulary and personal management guide directory. They repeatedly appear as elements of a word processor for a private computer workstation or as a location on your Internet site.

· Mail Newsletters

an occasionally delivered email that updates your consultation of the most recent news and ideas or brings up-to-date reporting on the results or essential services.

· Document Templates

A pre-built file that previously had some data format. Instead of beginning from scratch to design a document, you can employ the structuring of a prototype to prevent by hand a lot of time. Also, you can use a template with Microsoft Word or either transfer one from the internet or set up your own.

· Amazing Formatting Tools

Contains several customization options, including font name type, range, color, and design—field measurements and input variety forms.

· Microsoft Word

With cross-platform, You can deliver a word document directly from Windows OS to an individual on MacOS with no problem.

· Spelling and grammar tests

are a significant part of why I love Microsoft Word over other text checkers because it can correct spelling errors, places you forgot a simple comma, and various other simple punctuation marks needed.

· I have recently found out that you can create Mail Newsletters with Microsoft Word, which I did not know I could do until recently. After completing a Newsletter from a business corporation, you can send it out immediately from Microsoft Word.

· I used APA style Document Templates once and changed my mind after experiencing so many mistakes just so you know that you can automatically create and use a template for invoices, printable calendars, resumes, etc.

· Using the unique formatting tools built into Word, you can create a document any way you like. With the alignment tab, you can position your text/images wherever you want and change font style, size, and color.

· Lastly, with Word, you can allocate your word document into a PDF Form which comes off as more professional regarding business-related tasks. Microsoft Word is an excellent tool for writing assignments, building resumes, sending newsletters, and simply typing away.

What's Happening in Technology

Programming Languages

  I have always loved technology as far as I can remember. As a kid, I was the one that knew how to hook up all the electronics and get them all functioning properly. My family has always depended on me to fix or show them how to use many forms of technology, and I enjoyed doing it. Now I'm looking to take this further and learn more about things I don't understand, for example, using the program Scratch. This paper will discuss my experience, difficulties, and insights into Scratch programs. I will also answer the assignment questions comparing Scratch textbook language by explaining scenarios and program languages. My experience using Scratch was fun because I sat there and played with the motions and sounds with controls while my five-year-old son watched. We were making my character move around and do funny things. It was fun for both of us. It took me a while to figure out what I was doing, but once I learned more by watching the introductory videos, we created a guy...

Network Security

Network Security             Security threats and vulnerabilities to the direct and instant technological advancement combined with the internet's ideas in our everyday, natural life, we are now highly dependent on technology. The purpose may vary to all characteristics of our world. Cyber thieves and criminals also move faster than most people on the internet by ensuring that information on computer methods is a primary target. Assets can be split up into tangible benefits and uncertain technical skills. "The cyber threat involves an outside element. But, computer  vulnerabilities  on the network asset. Vulnerabilities in computer security are not usually the result of an intentional attack. Though cybercriminals usually leverage these flaws in their attacks. However, you can reduce the risk of a data breach. That is by knowing the most common network vulnerabilities. And then find ways to address them. (Hudson, 2020)."...

Final Blog Post Network Security

  Final Blog Post Network Security             I chose the topic of network security based on the path I would love to pursue because of the curiosity and interest I have developed since I retired from the Marines. Reading through the course textbook chapters: Fundamentals of Information Technology & Literacy home helped me understand rules/guidelines and apply better network security concepts from the simple things I forgot and overlooked. “The user can customize these rules. In addition, some network routers have hardware-based firewalls that block connections that do not initiate within the network (Vahid, F., 2019).” Today, network security is one of the essential topics for every business organization and home PC. Not having the proper protection software, i.e., antivirus, phishing, and spam blockers, can lead to devastation with no recovery. Technology must continuously evolve to keep up with the changing and new de...
