Tech Topic Connection

 

I like to learn more about program languages. They connect to the fundamentals of information technology that I learned in this course because if they didn’t exist they wouldn’t even have a computer to have information technology. The computer as a whole wouldn’t even be able to function to have any good or bad problems. We wouldn’t even be able to do anything. “When we push the "ON" button on a computer, a desktop, interface, and pull-down menus appear on the screen because several lines of code instruct it to. Moving the mouse and watching the cursor on the screen move correspondingly, opening, editing, and saving files”(Herbst,2004). Without program languages, the simplest of tasks couldn’t be done.

Like I said before computers can operate without the program languages it needs to read to complete functions so that things that need to be done on them can be. That the first computer programmer is the one that got it started that more stuff can be done on a computer. Her name is Ada Lovelace. She augmented the document with her own notes (named A - G), tripling the size of the original document. Note G detailed the steps to compute the Bernoulli numbers and is considered to be the first computer program (Vahid,2017). This is the history of computers and how they were created to do the things we do today. 

Computer languages rely on major hardware components and functions of a modern computer system because without it being modern it can be too old and it won't work because it's too old of software with everything getting newer outdated stuff cant use the programming language on certain computer tasks. 

It directly uses computer programs to put out what the user puts in. It helps take control of what the user puts in. It helps make programs do tasks that the user wants them to do. Application software relates to computer languages because they come hand in hand together without the programming language the user wouldn’t be able to run the application software.

Basic concepts of databases have to do with computer programs because when you execute a command on a computer, even saving a file requires the computer to have to write code to do it. Computer programs relate to database management because all the software to manage the computer is run by a computer program language. 

Network architecture influences program languages because it is built around them to let all the computer function and it has to be used so the system works. It influences management because to manage the computer you need the program languages. It influences security because the program languages are made in software so that it protects the computers better from viruses and other threats.
