Transcripts
all right so you made it here's the last
part of the first module for computer
concepts the impact of digital
technology this is part three what we'll
be covering is we're gonna explore
technology careers we're gonna list the
ways the professionals might use
technology in the workplace we're gonna
look at technology within education K
through 12 as well as the technology
that you may be using during your
college career we'll explain how various
transportation services utilize
technology to their advantage by the way
to their cost savings - let's keep that
in mind right so increase revenue
decrease expenses that's what it's all
about in business we'll look a little
bit more about the use of technology in
healthcare I gave an example of that
previously technology how its impacted
the world of manufacturing professionals
might use technology there it is in
higher education and then finally
exploring how you might prepare for a
career in technology if indeed
technology interests you so as we
explore technology careers you know
we'll look at software and application
so of course a computer does nothing
without software and of course the first
software that gets loaded to a computer
is some sort of operating system and
then we can install applications and
additional software to do certain
functions on the computer so for example
as a COCC student you get to download
office 365 that gives you Microsoft Word
which is a word processor Excel which is
a spreadsheet application team so you
can coordinate and interact with other
students in class or perhaps interact
with your instructor if they're using
Microsoft teams to do that we'll look at
equipment you know maintaining equipment
is huge whether you're working in a data
center or doing IT consulting working on
the side repairing technology working at
the Geek Squad technology service and
repair technology sales so not just
buying a computer at Best Buy okay but
literally sales
of thousands of servers for example the
equipment that goes into it the
firewalls that protect it the switches
that allow all that information to pass
back and forth over a local area network
or even over the internet so just some
ideas for you to explore when we talk
about system development what we're
talking about is building software so
utilizing a programming application like
Python which is very property alert too
popular today in order to build software
and now that software may be that you're
developing a smartphone app for your
smartphone it may be for an Apple device
because that's different software than
an Android device for example it may be
software that runs on a server that
serves many people it may be web
development for example web marketing
social media data storage so when we
look at social media marketing there's
whole new careers in people that take
content from businesses and presented
across social media platforms so that it
can be consumed either by customers or
by users of the web site or the web
services if you will and of course all
of this has to be stored someplace and
what we see here is this idea in this
background picture of a data center with
all of these servers that are serving
different features and functionalities
you know this one right here might be a
web server this one might be the
database server that holds the data that
the web server presents this one might
be a security server that watches over
these and looks for traffic that is
irregular if you will from a baseline
and then of course information and
systems security when we will talk all
about personal security in module 6
however here what we're talking about
are the careers of the people that keep
the network safe that keep the hackers
out that detail bugs if you will that
maybe even do Ithaca hacking where they
try to hack into a network before a
hacker is able to hack in
to a network technology in the workplace
of course we already talked a little bit
about telecommuting the idea that we no
longer need to especially if we live in
large populated areas like Los Angeles
we no longer need to make that two
two-and-a-half hour commute to work
because we can work from home okay so we
can have what's called a direct
connection a virtual private network
connection into our employer they give
us a computer that they manage and we
just work from home we can use our smart
phones connected the internet we can
access data that's in the cloud which
means if it's in the cloud it can be
accessed anywhere so a great example of
that is hopefully you're using a cloud
storage technology like Google Drive or
onedrive or Dropbox
those are three main examples and you're
storing your stuff in the cloud so that
you can access it from anywhere all of
those applications are accessible via my
phone so if I have a PDF that I suddenly
need to access from home or from China
from wherever I am that's not on my
computer it's stored in the cloud when
we talk about an intelligent workplace
now of course this is kind of humorous
now in the fact of here's this human
being working you know with these robots
around maybe doing daily for lack of a
better word sorry mundane tasks putting
things away
cleaning emailing whatever the case may
be who would think an email to be a
mundane task but it eventually could be
I don't look at these pictures anymore
and say wow this is science fiction I
look at these pictures and say maybe
even in my lifetime when we talk about
workplace a lot of us bring our own
devices to work and a lot of times
employers will allow you to employ those
devices by putting your work email on
them gaining access to the intranet or
at work gaining access to the Internet
for productivity as it pertains to your
job so let's be clear although your
employer may like
you bring your own device to work and
utilize it because you're comfortable
with it so maybe they want to issue you
a PC but you're a Mac user and they say
ok all of our stuff is available via Mac
if you like Mac better and you're more
comfortable with it that means you're
gonna be more efficient more productive
when you're working for our company so
go ahead bring your Mac in and we'll
install the software that you need we'll
then put the Mac on our network just so
we can monitor it for safety and off you
go online collaborative software a great
example of that is zoom so in my regular
in-person classes and then as I create
videos on the fly or if I'm doing my
virtual office hours I have zoom open
and what that means is it's a virtual
online productivity software that allows
students to come into that virtual
office if you will they can share their
computer if they've got a question so I
can see what the question is what
they're having trouble with I can share
mine and demonstrate a concept to them
they don't have to come from Madras into
Bend just for an office hour maybe they
travel in to do the class they don't
they can't meet those office hours we
can do that virtually and because I
teach so many online classes a lot of
times I will hold at least a couple
office hours in the evening time for
those students that work the 8:00 to
5:00 job but still want the help to be
productive so as we talk about education
certainly technology has changed
education although technology's been
around a while its use and education
hasn't been as much as you might think
now some of you may have been in high
school and received an iPad and did all
your work on an iPad and did quizzes and
watch videos like this from your iPad
and then did exams read your ebooks etc
but a lot of folks haven't but certainly
education has changed because of
technology when we're talking about you
know K through 12 schools they can get
out they can have a face
book page my daughter's volleyball team
has a Facebook page that's where we go
to find out when practices are due what
teams they're playing what kind of needs
there might be for the team including
hey I can't make Tuesday's game in
Redmond can somebody drive my child and
then I can go ahead and drive your child
to another event things like that in
utilizing social networking Facebook for
example you know we're cooperatively on
group projects so here's zoom like I
talked about you know the graphic just
cut off because of the style that I used
here but suddenly now I can have my
whole remote team I can hire experts and
what I mean by that is maybe there's an
expert teacher in oh I don't know CIS
120 that just does a great work produces
great content seems to really educate
students well and I want that instructor
for my organization except that
instructor wants to live in Kauai Hawaii
yeah okay that's my story all right but
wants to live in Kauai Hawaii but still
needs to work still needs to have a job
not a ton of educational jobs in kawaii
you know few and far between but
suddenly I could maintain what I do best
living where I want to live this can be
a long-term situation it could be a
short-term I happen to know someone who
works for a company here in the city I
live in and they had a parent who was
very very ill and frankly the parent was
gonna pass away and they really wanted
to spend those last few months with the
parent in Texas and their employer was
willing to go ahead and set up a laptop
and set up communication devices for
them to take so that they could be with
that parent but still work their regular
job still be productive for the company
and again let's not forget about
teaching through social networking it's
not just about which coffee stand you're
having your latte at things like
teaching about cyber bullying so I give
you an example here tweet others the way
you want to be tweeted so when we talk
about cyber bullying
there's a lot of ways to be anonymous on
the Internet say mean things do mean
things to other people and that's just
not productive for society so the idea
here of course is if you're not going to
say it in person that the person's face
don't say it online that's kind of the
key here but we can use that social
networking for things like advertising
of course for teaching concepts for
communicating about our society for
communicating about our schools for
getting jobs for communicating with
other professionals in your field
the intelligent classroom you know
technology is used to facilitate
learning and communication we see a lot
of that we use blackboard I can create
an announcement in blackboard that then
gets emailed to the student as well
automatically so that enhances that
communication instead of having on
blackboard a long thing that you need to
read I have a lecture like this that you
can follow that I can do interactive
quizzing in so you'll have some of those
in this class where I can go ahead and
make sure you watched it make sure
you've met the outcomes and that you're
learning the material for the course via
that interaction so technology and
transportation of course a lot of your
price familiar with this you know Amazon
does the free two-day shipping if you
have Amazon Prime but we still want to
know where it is when it's going to come
has it arrived is it sitting on my
doorstep for when I get home and of
course this is just a screenshot that I
took off the web but it could certainly
could be a screenshot for something I
ordered when I ordered it what day it
shipped oh look it's out for delivery it
has yet to arrive to my house but it's
definitely out for delivery and speaking
of that when we talk about that package
tracking that's what we're looking at
this is most likely content coming
directly from the United States Postal
Service or UPS or FedEx or however the
the package was shipped every time it's
scanned through a location this
information is updated not only to me as
the consumer but also to the company
that's sending
it also to the transportation
organization who's doing the shipping so
that they can reduce their costs as well
so an example of that is a delivery
driver uses their GPS technology to
avoid traffic and hazardous conditions
they have deliveries they need to meet
certain times for those deliveries they
can bring up their map it can say you
know accident ahead just happened you
need to find an alternate route so that
you can get that package there on time
or stay on time literally drivers now
there's enough data that these companies
know how long it takes the driver to
make their regular delivery route based
on the number of packages the number of
stops where they have to stop on the
street maybe they have to go up two
flights of stairs it's all in there so
that they can increase the profitability
of their business and then of course you
know in transportation we're starting to
see this already the automated vehicles
so I give you an example here of course
we're not here yet where this person is
reading while the vehicles driving them
to work but we definitely can get there
and I think that we're gonna get there
in my lifetime so again another example
here of a Google map where if you notice
I'm on a route I'm starting a route and
I can see from this red that whoa wait a
minute I'm gonna have a slowdown and all
I have to do is just ask Google is there
an alternate route maybe this is a sub
Road here that crosses underneath that
connects back to here to put me back on
the highway who knows but all I really
have to do is ask Google now so given
that this last part is kind of long I am
gonna go ahead and break it up into two
parts so this whole entire chapter
should have been four parts I look
forward to seeing you in the final part
part four of this lecture series
