Big Data and the Cloud

We’ve talked about data storage before. My first computer had two 1 GB hard drives. At the time I thought it was more than I’d ever need. Of course, I filled up those hard drives. I was amazed when I got my first 1 GB thumb drive. Now I have several thumb drives, and a couple of them hold 8 GB.

Remember the days when data storage and transfer was an issue? When it used to be a hassle to move and store data? Now we’ve got the Cloud--the virtual storage of data, accessible, anywhere, any time. Tools like Dropbox help us integrate our data and storage solutions across multiple platforms like our PCs, laptops, tablets and even phones. Evernote and Google Docs allow us to access our notes and documents anywhere. I use multiple laptops for work and my PC and I’m constantly moving data back and forth using different tools like Dropbox and my thumb drives.

Hey Kids! Learn to Write Code, It's the Future!

My first attempts at coding were with a tiny Radio Shack computer that hooked up to a cassette player and the TV. I think it took me hours to write the Basic program to get “Hello world!” to display on the screen. Years later I’d work in the world of web marketing and design and work with HTML, JavaScript and CGI every day. Well that’s nothing compared to what’s coming! Top leaders in the tech world are encouraging kids to start learning how to code now, for the future.

Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey all recently threw their considerable tech weigh and credibility into Code.org’s video “What Most Schools Don’t Teach.”  The clip stresses a growing worldwide shortage of coders, and that only 10% of American schools teach any kind of programming. Since Computer Science is the best paying college degree in the U.S., learning a little coding makes financial sense. But what’s it gonna cost YOU up front? In many cases, only time and effort!

Code.org is a “non-profit whose goal is to expose all students to computer programming. We believe that computer programming is a liberal art; it's something EVERY student in the world should be exposed to at some point in their childhood.”
