Personal IT Security Policy

What is interesting is that today not only is security vital, but it is financially critical for an infrastructure to commit that in their system and budget. But what is interesting to note is that in many aspect this is not a problem for majority of the companies; but it is a problem for many individuals i.e. homemakers, students, small business owners, etc. Today the level of security measure is still lower than one might expect especially when malicious programming is changing daily. The current problem for me is that the deceive action one takes on their computer often is dilution of what can happen if common sense are not used. In many of my clients on computer many are provided less than informative data that often is lacking substance, but has more articulated rumors.

As we continue to convey security policies for companies, I do feel that we need to also look at personal policies in homes and small business due to the lack or no present security available. In many cases I have worked on I have notice security protocols on systems shut down, internet security suite not updated or not paid, and finally utilization of free tools that has embedded malicious programming present. To me when I talk to clients as much as any major company my aspect of security also included security policies for home, personal, and small business. I have heard people stating to me purchase an Apple Mac because it has or less virus and spyware; what needs to be stated is that malicious programming does including phishing, keyloggers, spiders, botnets and etc. for many of my clients who has these computers and who have certain problems many are astonished the level of complex and simplified possibilities that exist. I do feel people are more able to understand the problem if a policy built on common sense and realistic security is present to help the common man in their travels in the net.

In the end I do feel a certain level of IT security policy should be provided or shown to personal computer users because to traverse the internet is not just watching out for phishing to spyware, but to learn the pitfalls of action can become a problem or worst.

How is technology part of the problem, and how is it part of the solution?

In the last few years it has been a continuing struggle to adhere upon the reflective changes in public health; the creative understanding of the innovation in technology has brought to bare many changes that has helped and hindered the medical institutions in the United States. The overall mandate for public health has created a vacuum in the essence more caregivers and better bed side manners. Today we reflect on technology as the tool that expedite, create, and develop the medical fundamentals for the new era.

I have noticed with those in my family who are in the medical field that the emphasis has changed, before you could create a bond more easily due to emphasis was based upon human interaction and human distinctive touch. But today technology with all its glory has created a less and in some case worst patient to caregivers ratio in the last 2 decades. Putting the lives of individuals in the hands of technology and doctors has helped reduce many problems; but it is the step afterwards were technology has gained acceptance in caring, watching, and helping patients that I feel technology is not the answer. A few months ago I talked to many friends in whom they stated many of the monitoring, and etc was done by one nurse and monitored by technology. What was lacking for many was that there were no human interactions present and if there were it was just a moment in time. Today we reflect a lot on ability to save lives; but we forget that life is more than reflective of social norms but often a sign of changes that affects the soul, mind, and body. It is prevalent in many states that technology has created simplicity, but also created a lack of support and human interaction that are often as critical as medicine and surgery.

During my years as technician I have meet many good people; one individual in mind a doctor once said. That technology in its own premise is a tool that will guide and help medicine. But it is the human touch in the form of respect, understanding, experience, and overall mannerism that creates the bond that is always reflective between a doctor and his or her patients. But today we are lacking on those arena because we gave those confidence and trust to technology and the innovation it provides. Technology has become a savior for many; but at what cost does technology hinder if we lose those touches that makes us human and does it reflect on our inability to trust ourselves and give those premise of trust to a bolt and wire.

For me I work closely with technology I am a tech geek. But one thing I don’t support is a fully integration of technology in our daily lives. In the last 2 decades technology has opened opportunity, but relegated each of us to a posture based on technology is important to survive. It is a vivid point that technology has made many children smart, focus, dumber, more elusive to be an outside person, technology has created individuals who are less impress with knowledge than the bang of the product. We are more addicted to technology and less focus in our own growth using our mind, body, and soul.

Strongest argument against nanotechnology?

Strongest argument against nanotechnology? Why does this argument seem convincing?

The other side of the spectrum made me think the implication what nano technology has in human evolution to human understanding. What really has a critical implication to me is that as we grow in our abilities we are also losing our battle to create the certain balance with life and technology. Some implication of medical nanotechnology may be worth the cost and risks, while others will not be. The question is how to distinguish, how to act on the distinctions, and who should be involved in the selection process.

This really invoked a lot of mental debate because it really pointed out the uncertain situations when technology becomes so evolve that creating the boundaries of what is right and wrong often are clouded by no distinctive reflection of situations and potential problems. I do feel very much that we have to look much closer beyond ethical and morality to really understand how technologies will be balance with humanity and integrity. Because one of the most significant challenge not in the realm of nanotechnology is cloning.

There are those who are against and for cloning and the debates circumvents the really problem is that we have never as a society thought the overall implication of situations where the choice is decided clearly by those whose technology will create harmony and success. But we as a society have to render the real function of our development and find certain balance that creates success without developing distinctive problems that are now common due to the fact there were no significant insight to the development and the social implication.

I do feel that often situation with technology are ground breaking; but we have to develop a more fluid state that creates that certain stability to grow and to develop both ethically, morally, and technologically.

Apple’s Explanation for the iPhone4

I have talked to many of my colleagues and other tech experts if they feel that the explanation of Apple that the problem is due to miscalculation and how to hold the iPhone is incorrect is a reflective nature of the problem. I have heard that Apple is the more applicable term is blowing a smoke. To consider that the calculation of the iPhone bars and the way it is handled is the problem would have been noticed before the day the iPhone was produced in mass quantity. Or was Apple so focus to bringing out this device that they forgot their own tenet to provide the best item because it has been checked and verified to be beyond the good it is great. To me Apple will lose if they take this path in all their items. In the last few weeks Apple has taken hits from the iPad being hacked, to an update in Snow Leopard a week ago or so that included anti-malicious code (very interesting specially when Apple state one does not need any protection against virus or spyware), to the problem of Steve Jobs during the demo of the iPhone in San Fran to the continuing problem with the AT&T service for many iPhone users in many parts of the country.  So what do you think is there a pattern? And is the statement of Apple in ref to the problem on the iPhone4 something you agree? Speak your voices.
