You may have heard about encryption and ways to make your personal information more secure, but do you know the difference between symmetric vs. asymmetric encryption? How will this knowledge help you?

Earlier, I wrote a blog post about distributed ledgers: a type of decentralized database that is shared and synced by multiple people across multiple sites, institutions, or even countries/national borders across the globe. The thing is though, there isn't just one kind of distributed ledger - there are many kinds of decentralized trustless databases that can help to make your data more secure and help protect you from a problem that is frequently felt by centralized databases - having a single or only a few points of failure instead of having a database that stays strong even if there is only a node available on a computer network. There are five kinds of distributed ledger, but there is one that is incredibly popular and many people - even those who know very little about databases or information technology - know about this one. Today, I am going to be talking about distributed ledger technology known as blockchains.

The term Information Technology appeared for the first time in an article published in 1958 in its modern concept in the Harvard Business Review magazine. The term included processing techniques and the use of statistical methods and mathematics in advanced programming and simulation processes through computer programs. it also included the technology of distributing information on television and telephone sets. information technology is defined as the study of the design, development, activation, and support of Computer-Based Information Systems and their applications. In this article, we review the concept and disciplines of information technology, its importance, and its most prominent fields.

Securing your digital data is now more important than ever before, as cybersecurity threats like data breaches, identity theft crimes, ransomware attacks, and malware and virus infections are on the rise. Unfortunately, victims of data loss and identity theft can spend a great deal of time and money trying to recover their lost data and stolen identity. Remember, any device (computer/laptop/tablet/smartphone) is vulnerable to a potential cyberattack.

Technology seems to be the buzzword of today, with everyone looking for the newest smartphone or app to make their lives easier. However, if you’re not careful, you can look incredibly silly by using technology incorrectly. In this article, I’ll show you three simple mistakes in technology that make you look dumb, and offer advice on how to avoid them so you can become an expert in technology without embarrassing yourself in front of your friends and coworkers.
