Week 6 Posting - Defrag

 Disk defragmentation is a wonderful thing for users to understand how it works and when it is important to use. If you have a brand-new computer out of the box and just turned it on, you will not need to run the disk defrag computer application. If you have a computer that is older and has had a lot of use with file deletion or application deletion and you notice the computer is going slow, you may want to run disk defrag in order to get the computer up and running back to normal speeds. The reason the computer gets so slow is because the hard drive is attempting to locate the data that has become spread throughout the entire drive. When its new, its all in a neat orderly structure that makes retrieving data easy. When it has been used over and over the data structure begins to fail and the data is spread out through the entire hard drive.

Week 6 Posting - DNS Root Server Crash

 While there may only be 13 root servers for DNS lookup, it actually would not be as catastrophic as one might perceive it to be initially. Each server has a lot of cached information and runs on redundancy. Also, the root servers do not rely on simply one sole server. They are all connected to different server farms that help run the servers as well. These server farms are not located in one specific location and are actually located in hundreds of locations spread throughout the world. You would think all the servers going down simultaneously would cause the internet to crash, but with the fail safes in place that is not an actual reality.

Week 7 Posting - Component Lifespan

 When dealing with components of a computer, the lifespan can vary by each individual piece. For example, monitors can last 10-20 years, depending on what type of monitor you use and how often you are using said monitor. A high-end mechanical keyboard can last 15-30 years whereas a cheap non-mechanical keyboard can last about 2 years. The total average of computer components is between 5-10 years. With the way technology is today, most people will tend to get new computers in the timespan and do not notice issues with their components. For some components like keyboards and mice, you tend to get what you pay for. The higher end models of these devices tend to last much longer than their cheaper counterparts.
