My Experience With Computer & Networking

Computers and networking have a great impact on my life. I come into contact with computers every single day. I constantly use my personal computer to get on Facebook, check and send emails, do research, manage my bank account, watch videos, etc. I even use my computer to do things such as calling my parents on Skype. In addition, I use a computer every day at work. I work in the College of Adult Education on campus. I manage several email accounts at work, so I use the computer a lot. Furthermore, I enter applications, look up student’s records, send advisors phone messages via email, do research, etc. Therefore, I use the computer quite often. There are not very many days that I don’t use a computer.
I also come into contact with networking quite often. All of the computers in our office are linked to a network. This gives everyone in our office certain capabilities. One of the things that being on a network enables everyone to do is to print on any of the printers in our office. For example, when printing people’s records off of Datatel all one has to do is type in what printer he/she wants the records to print at. In addition, being on a network gives us all access to the “share” drive. This enables all of us to access important files that many of us need access to. For instance, whenever a person wants to attend one of our Information Sessions, we go to a file on the “share” drive and add them to the list. In addition, there are many important forms on the “share” drive that are necessary for registration. These are just a few examples of my constant contact with networks.
