Social Engineering

Social Engineering, which is also called "social hacking" and "social cracking", is the way to steal important security information from the network user or manager, such as password and other personal information. The ways of theft are eavesdropping on the conversation and peep at the information in the computer. This deed doesn't injure the computer itself, however, it hurts people's feeling and damage companies.

The popular modus operandi is this; Stand behind the person when he/she is typing password, and steal it by watching. Furthermore, Forage the garbage after someone throw away the important personal information or password. Moreover, this method is used for "Oreore sagi", which is the fraud that someone pretends the relative of someone, and deceives the relative to get money, it became one of big social problem in Japan. The way of it is pretending friend or friend's family, and ask the address and phone number of classmates.

These swindles really happen around us, so what we should do is not telling our personal information to other people especially if I don't a person who asked me to tell the information. It is not exception for the companies, they need to strengthen the security system.

Aspiration for Computer

I want to be a skillful user of computer in the classes and business in the future. As I mentioned, I can only use it to research and write for the assignments, but in the presence world, people must be able to use it for the business, such as management for the personal information, creating new ideas, designing, editing and so on..., which means if I can't use it as a business woman, I won't be able to get a job. I'm interested in the media, so if I get a job in the television company, I definitely need it for my job. Also, I'm really interested in the movie, such as how to edit the movie, how to create a commercial message, how to design the poster of the movie and how to create the computer graphics because it is the progress of the movies, and I really want to know about it to find out how the movie is made. Moreover, those effects are made by computers, and computers bring us new imagination of movies. Therefore, I'm really interested in supporting the creation of movie by computers. For now, I must practice how to use it for the class, and I want to master the basic usage of it. Furthermore, I want to learn it deeply for my professional skills for the future. Step by Step!!!

Computers and Me

These days, I have been playing a staring game with a computer. I face it almost every day because of my homework assignments like this!!! I have never studied a computer deeply, however, I have been having a relationship with computer for long time.
When I was an elementary student, I often went to my father’s office, and I played with computer, such as painting and playing Solitaire. At that time, my father didn’t let me use a computer freely because I was too little to use it, so I entertain longing for it. I really wanted to use the Internet and e-mails. After couple of years, computers were introduced into the school, so I learned little bit about usage of Microsoft Word and the Internet. When I was a high school student, I had a computer class, and I made a my home page about tennis team in high school, but that class wasn’t so interested for me because I was always given a manual, and I just followed it, so I didn’t feel I learned it deeply. Therefore, I really want to use it perfectly like Mr. Poza!
Furthermore, when I went to the United States to study abroad, I noticed that how much computer is a wonderful device that people invented because of e-mail. Before it was created, it was difficult to communicate with the family or friends in Japan from the foreign country, but because of it, it’s much easier to have relationship with the family. Some people say that it is not good to communicate with people in Japan, but since there was a computer, I could calm down and feel relax when I was homesick and depressed. I thank for it!
I think I will definitely have relationship with computers rest of my life, so I will try to learn about it carefully and deeply.
