MIS essay Student’s name Institutional affiliation MIS Essay The computer era encompasses the introduction of elements or components in the information system category. MIS (management information system) deals with the collection and analysis of data or information in a given organization. Information system management entails five significant components, which are hardware, software, database, network and people. The computer hardware is a physical technology responsible for information matters. The hardware has variable sizes ranging from the smallest as seen in mobile phones to largest that fill up a building or a room. More so, the hardware can entail peripheral devices which work alongside computers. These are keyboards, external disk drives, as well as routers (Gray et al. 2016). The computer software helps the hardware to understand its purpose and achieve its functionality. It can be either system software or application software. The operating system is an example of the system software and responsible for managing how the hardware operates. Application software handles specified tasks such as the spreadsheet, documentation or designing web pages. The network is essential in providing…
How is the Tesla Autonomous driving technology going right now, and when can we see the real autonomous driving taxi platform? The autonomous driving technology contains software that is needed for real autonomous driving technology in every circumstance. The independent driving platform is designed to enable the car owner to make extra cash while sleeping. The self-driven car allows the driver to get in the self-driven platform and describe the destination. The driver has to instruct the vehicle for the final destination. Failure to provide the target to the car looks at the daily itinerary to find the regular route. Lack of information within the calendar will cause the vehicle to go directly home. Tesla identifies the optimal path by navigating urban streets and manages complex streets using traffic lights, stop signals, and roundabouts. The future use of the autonomous platform is without supervision and achieves reliability compared to human drivers. In 2020 there will be the introduction of autonomous driving taxis that enables the car to operate during night hours when the owner is asleep. In 2020 millions of…
The Adam Walsh Act and its effectiveness in enhancing public safety Introduction The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act is a Federal law that was signed into law in 2006 by President George W. Bush to protect children against sex offenders. The Act came into effect 25 years after a six-year-old boy Adam Walsh was abducted at Sears Mall only to be found dead in a drainage Canal. The Act requires that sex offenders be divided into three tiers based on the seriousness of the crime committed. Furthermore, the law requires the establishment of a national sex offender registry and website that has the data of all sex offenders within US borders. The purpose of this paper is to critically analyze the implementation of the Adam Walsh Act and recommend viable solutions to enhance public safety against sex offenders. In this paper, I argue that the AWA implementation has failed to enhance public safety against sexual offenders, and it is time that it is reviewed. Background The problem with the AWA has been its implementation. There has been a…
Concept Paper: Education in a Digital World Introduction Traditional instruments of education have always been centered on sources such as schools, print media, and teachers. As such, leaners got hold of information sources by the process of enrolling with libraries, teachers, and schools. Before the digital era, information access was hampered with respect to today’s context. Contemporary society has the urge to know the information when and how it happens, as the world is geared towards a knowledge society rather than an information society. As such, education is given the highest priority as well as brainpower to becoming a valuable asset of an organization. Furthermore, advances in digital technology have opened up many ways to boost learning in the modern world. Ideally, technology has opened up many avenues in the field of education. As such, technological advances have made access to information less tiresome, and as such, ICT has become a more integral part of human life. Purpose This paper will explain the concept behind the process of generation, creation, as well as the acquisition of knowledge through technology.…
COMMUNICATION MODELS Meta description Communication skills are a prerequisite for a healthy relationship at work or in social cycles. Language advocates classify communication as a “soft skill” or interpersonal competence. Communication models overview A model of communication offers a visual representation of a concept that makes it easier to understand such concepts. Many scientists accept that the role of the communication model is to address the problem of clarity. Therefore, a model should explicitly answer the question: “who says what to who and why?” Our words and actions convey messages, emotions, and knowledge. For example: To say, “I’m tired,” or yawn both mean you’re tired. “Ouch” or grimacing declare that you have just experienced discomfort. We don’t give communication a second thought, once we learn to speak, write, and use a machine. We exchange messages back and forth. Communication should, however, execute what language theorists intend or what they call a communication model. What are the communication models? A model refers to a visual display which describes various parts of a process. The communication process starts with the correspondence…
When it gets hot outside, the level of crime increases. Most of the time, when it is hot in most places, it is summertime. Activities associated with summer are engaging in swimming, barbeque outing with friends and relatives, eating cold watermelon, and for students, it is a holiday, therefore no attending schools. During summer, crimes in cities and states tend to increase rapidly. The reason being that most of the teenagers are left unsupervised and engaged by their parents who go to work. Such negligence is the perfect opportunity for traffickers, drug dealers, and gang members to recruit. The unengaged teenagers end up falling prey to those gangs seeking to belong. Hot temperature also results in impatience, temper increasing, makes people uncomfortable and irritable, and creates a gush of violent crimes (Maxfield & Babbie, 2019. The statement is vague since it does not clearly explain the relationship between high temperature and levels of crime increasing. The phrase does not show who accurately conducts the crimes or the types of crimes that are common during the summer. To expound on the…
Strategic information management Introduction Information technology involves the employment of computers for the purpose of storing, retrieving manipulating and transferring data in the context institutions such as enterprises. Other data distribution technologies such as smartphones, recording equipment or televisions which are part of the user peripherals, software and devices are included. Information technology encompasses several stratums of management and virtualization tools, hardware (physical equipment), application (software) and operation systems all for the performance of crucial functions. In the academic perspective, information technology is useful up the delivery of information required for education purposes and therefore, improving the education environment. This technology though used to achieve the various specific academic objectives, it does come at a cost such as high data charges. Ample educational resources can be accessed via the technology where the material can be exchanged between students and teachers. Boundaries are broken in information access to students absent in class. It allows individuals have an opportunity to learn full time and with the speed of information transfer, there is instantaneous access to information. The technology allows group learning…
Sleep Journal and Reflection Project In the past three weeks, I have learned a lot about my body and how I think, sleep, and dream. The most intriguing subject I have learned is about dreams and sleep. This subject has helped me learn about my behavior and why they happen. I could recall one dream I had in the past six days very vividly. In the dream, I had gone to the park with my dogs for what was another typical day. It turned out weird since I had to run after my dogs across the parking lot and came to a still stand. I could see more hundreds of dogs staring at what looked like a zombie or another creature from the fantasy world I had no idea of. It looked very ugly and scary; however, it did not seem to care about any of us. While I was about to get closer to have a better view, I immediately heard my alarm ringing, and I woke up with a fast racing heart-beat. I, therefore, started investigating what factors…
Social Change and the Environment Social Issues in the News “Governor Signs Texting Law Inspired by Teen’s Death,” the headline said. In June 2010, the governor of Georgia signed the Caleb Sorohan Act, named for an 18-year-old student who died in a car accident caused by his texting while driving. The bill made it illegal for any drivers in Georgia to text unless they were parked. After Caleb died, his family started a campaign, along with dozens of his high school classmates, to enact a texting while driving ban. They signed petitions, started a Facebook page, and used phone banks to lobby members of their state legislature. Vermont enacted a similar ban about the same time. The new laws in Georgia and Vermont increased the number of states banning texting while driving to 28. (Downey, 2010)Downey, M. (2010, June 4). Governor signs texting law inspired by teen’s death.

Creative Interpretation The little Mexican Girl My sister and I looked at each other and sighed. After a long a tedious train ride, we had eventually reached the boarding school. We did not have anything with us apart from two old suitcases. My elder sister, Lizzy looked more composed than I was. We were two orphaned girls who had moved from a foster home to a boarding school at the end of the world. So I wondered why Lizzy looked so calm and content. “Are you Lizzy and Janet?” a voice startled me back to reality. “Yes,” Lizzy responded to the lady who was smiling down at us. “Oh, good. My name is Madam Hinkleberg, and I am here to take you to Wempshire Boarding.” She said as Lizzy, and I stared at her thinking of what to say next. “Hurry along then. We haven’t got all day. Pick your bags and follow me.” Without another word, Lizzy and I picked our suitcases and followed the lady. I stared outside the car window and got lost in a pool of…
