Assignment 13: Useful Information

The most useful information I learned in this semester is about Webcam Security. Though this course, I have read some articles on how ‘home hackers’ can easily spy on people’s daily lives through cameras that were installed in homes to improve security, or in your computers, cellphones, and devices.

After I read these articles, I felt that there isn’t a place in this world that is secure and safe. Especially, when I watched the video showing how the man easily hacked into his friend’s webcam, I felt embarrassed for her and this was awful! Usually, people use the home camera to protect their kids and family, but it’s doing the opposite way now. Fortunately, I am aware of webcam intrusion before I read these articles. I have used a small plastic sticker to cover my laptop’s front-facing camera. I hope that it protected me from any hackers. Covering webcams and cameras can be one way to protect our life privacy from hackers.

The best way to protect your private information is always having antivirus software installed and keep update security and password. Moreover, we need to change the default password on the device and read the Camera instruction manuals guide. Hope all of these procedures can help us to keep hackers away and keep our personal and financial information safe.

Assignment #12 cross compatibility issues

When working on spreadsheets or presentations, the common problem is hard to convert and open different format files from different software. For example, in Spreadsheets, when I tried to save an OpenOffice template file to CSV format, the popup warning box told me that only the active sheet was saved. However, I could save it as the Excel format smoothly. When I opened a new file in Excel, the format, cell, color, and text worked perfectly as the same as the OpenOffice template file. But when I opened the new CSV file in Google Spreadsheet, the original colors in the cells were gone.

In Presentation, I saved MS PowerPoint ppt file in ODP format and opened it with OpenOffice. The template format and style were changed. However, the sound and the transition worked the same way as Powerpoint. When I tried to open the ODP file with Google Slides, I needed to upload the ODP file first to convert it to Google Slides file. However, When I opened it with Google Slides, the template format and style were gone, although the sound and transition were fine. And the file also shows me that it was just read-only.

To resolve these problems, usually I will try to save the file to another format, or upload the file in Google drive first, then open with google slide, or using export files in Excel and Power Point. Also, if we want to print, a better way is to save the file to PDF format to avoid missing fonts.

Assignment #8 experiences working with Minecraft.

I did not know what Minecraft is before I took this course. First time when I got into the account, I played " Survivor" mode, and I could not control the keyboard well. The game lasted only several minutes, then I died. I felt very frustrated, and it was not easy for me to be a Minecraft survivor. But after I tried several times working on the Minecraft, following the information, and watching the video, I was able to enjoy it and to construct some beautiful buildings. I think Minecraft is popular because the player can create and build whatever one can imagine. It is a great way to promote creativity, to learn how to solve a problem, and to find your own direction. It's really like the Legos but in a virtual reality 3D way. I think I will like to play more in the future.

Assignment 3: Create a PDF File

I used OpenOffice to create PDF file.

We know lot of people would like to use PDF format instead of another. I think that PDF format not only allows us to easily share the fonts, images, tables and contained with anyone but also it is a simple app to open and read on most of the browsers. The other major reason is that PDF format is easy to create, whatever the apps you use, you always can export documents as PDFs. Moreover, the PDF file allows you to compress the documents and decrease the file size substantially while maintaining the quality. It will be convenient for you to share and email with anyone. Also, if you work on a project with a team member, your teamers are easy to add notes, highlight text, draw on content in PDF file. The PDF format welcomes the presentations, long assignments or vectors, and also appeal professional to it. This is why it would be used everywhere.

In my working experience, usually I like to send my original design work from Illustrator or Indesign file directly to the printer instead of the PDF files. The reason is that there are always chances that PDF format misses certain fonts or layouts, and the printing quality isn't as good as the original file. However, my customers or printing company always prefer to receive the files in PDF format because it is easy to open and read from different devices. For a better printing result, I usually do one more step: "outline" the fonts before I save as PDF file. This can avoid most of the font issues, but however, the text cannot be edited afterward not even by Adobe Acrobat.

Which programs would you use and why?

If I needed to work on a detailed project for my client, I would like to choose Microsoft Suit to work on. One of the main reasons was that Microsoft Suits consists of a variety of programs, such as Word Process, PowerPoint, Excel, and Microsoft Outlook, etc. When you worked on the project, the text and the graphic usually came from different programs. Microsoft's file can import and export many file types. It will be more convenient for transferring effectively between files. Also, we can save the files in PDF format. Then the files wouldn't cause any problems and would be readable and look good. Also, MS PowerPoint provides a variety of tools to combine text, graphics, animations, and sound into a series of electronic slides. For example, MS PowerPoint contains collections of images and sounds to enhance presentations and provide features to animate both text and graphics. Once a set of slides has been created, it can be viewed as a computer slide show or printed as overhead transparencies, paper copies. Also, the MS Spreadsheet offers a variety of functions that provide powerful mathematical calculations. Typically, these functions are divided into a variety of categories including financial functions. Moreover, Word Process is the most widely used type of software. It can be used to produce documents, such as letters, reports, papers, and manuscripts, and allows users to edit, revise, store, format, and print documents. If I work on a team that uses different operating systems and I need to collaborate, then Google Slides is a great option for remote teams.

Using templates, Compare and contrast with the Spreadsheet

Using a suitable and comfortable presentation software for your project is important, choosing a quality presentation template can also be a way to ensure professional results. If I need to work on a professional project, I would like to use PowerPoint template as my first choice. There are large numbers of templates and special effects to choose from, also they are easy to edit and modify. The file can be imported and exported in many file types. If I just need to create a quick and simple project or work with a team, I would like to use Google Slides, it is easy and convenient to share and use. The online files are always current and up-to-date. You can also easily link or embed your document into a web page. If I need a dynamic, creative, interesting, and nice template for presentation, I will consider the Prezi, although it might need to take more time to work on it.

By comparing with different spreadsheet templates, I would like to use the Google Docs spreadsheet template as my first choice. This is because it is easy to search for the templates in Google Docs. It is also easy to edit, update, and share, and it is convenient to work together as a team. The second choice will be MS Excel. It is suitable for working on a professional Excel project.
