IT discussion 1

Consider jobs that require a solid understanding of basic computing, computer storage, and processing speeds as part of an information technology degree. Put yourself in the position of the hiring manager and think about what you would expect as competent responses from an applicant:

• Briefly explain the four main parts of a computer system information.

  Provide an example of each.

• Managing data efficiently requires having sufficient processing speed, paired with the appropriate amount of memory and storage space. Briefly explain what you would recommend for an IT professional to have for their laptop’s memory, storage, and processor.

Your first post should be on or before Saturday and a minimum of 100 words. Include a link to any site you used to help you respond to the question. Make sure you respond substantively to at least two classmates.
