Blog Update
Hi guys, hope you all are having a lovely weekend and
enjoying the snow, winter has come early this year.
This week in the IT class we learned about Data Management in terms
of how important it is not only to store data but how the storage devices have
changed over the past years as we had a look at some of the hard disks/storage
devices in class.
The lecture was very informative as we were told how to
store our own personal data i.e. in our phones, laptops and I pads. We also
found out that how much data we own overall which was a lot!
The storing of data
and its safety will be useful in the professional setup where keeping patients
information will be our responsibility. We learnt about different types of software
such as icloud for apple as a protection tool and Firewall protection
for the laptops which will enable us to keep our own data safe and secure as
data may be anything such as pictures, assignments which we don’t want to be
stolen.
With regards to backup strategies and limiting data we use on our personal devices, we did a group task in which we had to blog about our own
data storage and what must we do to keep this protected, in case a situation arises
i.e. when we are outside due too many wifi being open, we accept an unknown
wifi and this may turn out to be a hacking strategy so we must not use such
wifi and be more cautious. We carried out a class task too further listing
files such as pdf and how safe they are in terms of security.
Sorry for a short blog, see you all on the Thursday meeting.
