Study Notes
ICT (Information and Communication Technology)
- ICT encompasses various technologies for communication, information processing, and storage.
- It includes hardware, software, networks, and data management systems.
- ICT plays a crucial role in modern businesses, education, and everyday life.
Database Management Systems (DBMS)
- DBMS is a system for organizing and managing data in a structured way.
- A DBMS enables users to efficiently store, retrieve, update, and manipulate data.
- Common DBMS types include relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL), NoSQL databases, and cloud-based databases.
- Key concepts include schemas, tables, relationships, queries, and transactions.
- Data integrity and security are major concerns in DBMS design and implementation.
Networking
- Networking connects computers and devices to share resources and data.
- Local Area Networks (LANs) connect devices within a limited area, like a building.
- Wide Area Networks (WANs) connect devices over larger geographical areas, like countries.
- Network topologies define how devices are interconnected (e.g., bus, star, ring).
- Key network protocols facilitate communication (e.g., TCP/IP, HTTP).
- Network security is essential to protect data and systems from unauthorized access.
Cybersecurity
- Cybersecurity protects computer systems and networks from threats.
- Threats include malware, phishing attacks, and denial-of-service attacks.
- Measures for protection include firewalls, antivirus software, strong passwords, and user training.
- Data encryption protects sensitive information while it is stored or transmitted.
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments identify and mitigate risks.
- Identity and Access Management (IAM) controls user access based on roles and permissions.
Google Docs, Word, Excel, and Google Drive
- Google Docs is an online word processing tool, used for creating and editing documents.
- Microsoft Word is a popular desktop word processing application.
- Google Sheets (part of Google Workspace) is an online spreadsheet program.
- Microsoft Excel is a popular desktop spreadsheet application.
- Google Drive is a cloud storage service.
- Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides enable collaborative document editing in real-time.
- Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) offer extensive features for document creation, calculations, and presentations.
- Google Drive allows users to store, share, and access their documents from anywhere with an internet connection.
