Week 10 Posting - Was Fun While It Lasted

 I love blogging because it gives me something extra to think about that isn't related to a specific topic of the week. I can write about something I learned or came across while researching something else. It allows me to look into something separate from my assignments that interested me enough to look deeper into. 

Blogging doesn't come in handy at my current job since I mainly fix up merchandise on store shelves and backrooms.

I have never been much of a talker, and I am only great at formulating thoughts into words if required by an assignment. So, I never enjoyed it, even when I attempted to do it years ago during the Xanga and MySpace ages. I have always believed that no one cares about what I say and only speaks when spoken to, so I never felt a reason for blogging or writing in any journal.

More and more companies are applying to be tech-savvy, and learning that you can blog might give you an advantage for individuals who believe that blogging in the future will reach an audience. It can also be good practice for PR if you are in charge of your company's Twitter account.

Week 9 Posting - BSIT220-T301 - The Wild West

 I learned while doing some more research for my final draft of the fifth milestone that people used to be able to listen in on conversations during 1G. Due to the lack of encryption during the inception of mobile telecommunication, people could listen to discussions if they knew what frequency to listen to and if they were in range. It is wild to think about how big names in the game who were the first to adopt mobile communication could have fallen victim to people eavesdropping on critical and classified calls if they were unaware of the potential risks. Back then, mobile communication really was the Wild West.
