This week's blog is the last one for CSC104's purpose!
Let me talk about the lecture for this week. The main topic about lecture is property. The most interested part in this week was about the trademark, patent, and copyright. When professor mentioned this part, I connected them with my knowledge that learned for my accounting course. So much information in this week will be very helpful for my life. For example, when professor talked about the part of "download much", I thought that I downloaded too much free music, and it was harmful for private property.
The one of my achievements this week was to finish the course of CSC 104. This was my first time to take some related courses to computer science, and it was a good memory for me because I learned much useful information and I met many new friends!
Issue of privacy in networked computers:
When people use a networked computer, they are sharing resources with other users, some of them in only distantly-connected portions of the internet. People have contradictory impulses: on the one hand they want to share some files, email and test messages, and software, on the other hand they do not want to share all the information and resources on their machine with every other user on the internet. Trying to balance these contradictory impulses is what makes network security difficult.
Some standard measure to reduce your exposure to either malicious or inadvertent harm to your computer's security. For example, using good passwords; being sure you know the person or corporation you are downloading software from; applying security patches to your software as fast as possible; avoiding opening dubious email, particularly if your OS allows email to run scripts or other programs automatically. People may also want to investigate various spam filters, to reduce the volume of junk email they are exposed to. Currently over 80% of the email sent to me is spam, and almost all of that is automatically diverted to a mailbox called "spam" that I review occasionally.
