One of the best ways to protect your identity is using online passwords only you would know like your mother maidens name. False that is what crooks try first. When you use that information crooks can take all your information. Passwords like that can give crooks all your information.

Trends and Factors

What 3 trends do you see in computer evolution? AND Why?
Three trends that I see in computer evolution are  smaller body's because all the laptop computers now are getting smaller and thinner. Second we are making faster CPU systems, now days our CPU systems are faster than computer's CPU systems from 5 years ago. Finally we are making computers more portable. Computers that we carry around today fit in our back packs while computers 10 years ago couldn't and just sat on the desk.
Name 3 factors that drive technological innovation?
Three factors that drive technological innovation are consumer demand. The second one is the need for more efficient computers to do more efficient work. Finally we have the need to achieve more, and to achieve what no other has achieved before us.

What is POIT

Principles of information technology. I thinks is that we are going to learn the basics of computers. We are also going to learn about IT which is the study of information. While in the POIT class we will do many things. For example we will learn about the basic works of computers and take them apart.

Second we will learn about what makes the computer work. While doing this section we will learn basic coding. We shalt also learn on jobs in the IT industry. Finally we will learn about producers of computers and which computers are the best made. That is what I think we will be learning about in POIT.
