This report will discuss the importance of network security. Network Security is important because it prevents hackers from gaining access to data and personal information. The issue in society is that users get their data stolen every day and are scared that their information is blasted out to the world. Within this paper I will talk to you about the importance of network security and how it can change your day-to-day life using cyber security. In addition, I will create a survey for computer science majors to see if network security is important. Also, I will send a survey to a DISA employee to get his perspective on this topic and his comments as well. The best method to incorporate both user input and research into this paper is to use user input to back up the research. User input will be a great addition because it gives the readers a real-world opinion on if this topic is valid.

Does Anti-Virus Software Really Work?
Anti-Virus Software is designed to keep your computer and other devices safe from viruses and other malware. Some popular free softwares that many people use are Norton, Kaspersky, Avira, and even more. If your device does get a virus, the software is supposed to isolate that file to prevent the file from infecting the rest of your device. To ensure that you are protected to the fullest extent, you must keep the anti-virus software up to date. But during that time that the anti-virus is getting updated, is it still keeping you safe? Many viruses get created every day, let alone every hour, so after your anti-virus is updated it’s already putting you at risk because those new viruses may not be in the update. All anti-virus software companies all claim to be the best frontline protectors, but this paper will see what anti-virus software will give you the best protection from viruses.

Did you know health is not just about not being sick? It is about feeling well. In healthy ecosystems, you can find plants, animals, water, rocks, and soil, all interacting with many microbes. Thanks to this biodiversity we have clean air, fresh water, and nutritious food. Bees and other animals pollinate flowers to help grow fruits and vegetables. Birds spread seeds that grow into trees and forests. Plants clean the air we breathe. And people feel better in nature. Healthy ecosystems, therefore, keep people healthy. While public health programs teach people about healthy food and give them access to medicines, people make ecosystems healthier by protecting nature. You can help too, by taking care of your health and your surrounding ecosystem, learning about the world, and supporting decisions and actions that protect nature and people. By becoming guardians of Earth’s biodiversity, we can all have a healthy future together.more » « less

Have you ever wondered how your friends impact how you see the world? Or how you are able to keep track of the many different people in your life? To study these questions, scientists have begun to look at people’s social networks and their brains at the same time. In this article, we introduce this area of study and discuss how scientists use ideas from both neuroscience and mathematics to examine these questions. We also highlight some recent discoveries that reveal both how our brains support our ability to socialize with others and how our relationships with other people are related to how we use our brains.more » « less

Want a robot lutherie apprentice? It is here today and it is cheap. But it doesn’t look like something from the Jetsons. It looks like this; a digital readout connected to a lead screw. With a friendly whirr, it will move the saw guide right up to the next fret positionfor you. But get your own dang coffee.more » « less
