Topic 3: Managing Digital information on a Computer

If your computer is not backed-up and if a disaster happens to strike. You run a risk of losing all your contacts, all your documents and files, digital images and videos. You may try to re-enter itthe data but it will take too much of your time. Your computer may appear to be working well, but it or its hard drive could fail at any time without notice.

How to back-up your PC

* Decide on the proper back-up media for your PC
 like CD-R, DVD-R, tape, hard drives, online, and flash drive are all great choices.

*Choose a back-up application
  If you are using Microsoft Windows, there is a back-up application built in (start>programs>Accessories>SystemTools>Backup). If you are using Windows Vista, go to (Start>Control Panel>System and Maintenance>Backup and Restore Centre). There are many more.

*Prepare your backup device of choice.
  If you are using a hard drive, it's better to use it just for back-up purpose. Make sure that what ever you are using is ready to accept the back-up. Open your choice ofn application, select the files you wish to keep, select the media where you will be saving the back-up, and start it up.

google translate

To find the translation of the sentence, "Elimine la carpeta llamada 'eliminar' en el escritorio" I typed 'Goolge translate' on google. At the top section of the screen, I was instructed to type what I wanted to be tanslated and I was also given an option to choose the language in which I want it to be translated in. I typed the sentence in the space proveded and then I selected 'English' in the language selection options. Towards the top-right section of the screen, the following appeared: "Delete the folder named 'delete' on the desketop". After reading that it, I minimized the current screen and viewed the desktop and then deleted the folder named 'delete'.

Network infrustructure

The internet infrastructure allowing my connectivity at the moment is LAN (local area network). LAN is a computer network that interconnects computers in a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building using network media. It was first created during the late 1970s and was uesd for high-speed links between several large central computers at one site. Unlike WAN (Wide Area Network), LAN has smaller geographic range, which means that it can only connect within a few killometers or even meters from its hot spot and it usually doesn't use telephone line connection to run data.
