QUESTION: As an IT professional in training, which two current areas of concern pose the highest challenge to the 1. Individuals and consumers, and why? 2. Smaller businesses and entrepreneurs. en-us 2021-08-11 11:13:20 UTC 2021-08-25 17:01:51 UTC hello@padlet.com raymond_parsons https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675400978 Individuals and consumers have the greatest challenge from personal privacy.  Because we don't know what we don't know.  You can't stop an organization from collecting data on you if you do not know who they are.  Or even who they are selling it to.

Small business and entrepreneurs are at great peril from being locked out of business innovation because of no net neutrality. Especially from search engines like Google that promotes those large companies and corporations that pay them large commissions for site search reults.]]> 2021-08-11 12:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675400978 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675406629 Individuals and consumers greatest challenge would be Data Security. Data Security takes a lot to keep up especially with the number of vicious attacks on peoples data growing more and more by the minute.

intellectual property is what most small businesses and entrepreneurs always find themselves losing tons of money annually to. This causes many small businesses to even go out of business and entrepreneurs to lose money potentially running them bankrupt. ]]> 2021-08-11 12:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675406629 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675481744 Small business are at a risk if they can't afford net neutrality. If they don't have net neutrality then their websites or services could be slowed down. 

Data security is a challenge for individuals because there is many ways for people to steal data. It is very difficult for an individual to keep up with data security especially when being attack by many worms and viruses. ]]> 2021-08-11 13:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675481744 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675706180 The highest concern to individuals and consumers would be data security. If their information was leaked, there would be nothing they could do to stop it, and it could be anywhere on the Internet. People can sell and collect their information, distribute it however they want, and likely even steal their identity. For small businesses, the biggest concern is lack of net neutrality, because then they couldn't be guaranteed Internet access and larger corporations could monopolize, as they likely have a higher spending budget than most entrepreneurs.]]> 2021-08-11 16:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675706180 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675753497 The Major concern for consumers and individuals would be intellectual property. With the age of social media growing peoples intellectual property is slowly become less and less in their power. I was debating choosing data security, but realistically it isn't going to be their doing on protecting  their data. 99% of people would rather buy protection from things such as VPN's. 
Meanwhile I feel like the major concern for small businesses and entrepreneurs is green computing. While I Like the idea of green computing the problem arises when companies have to go out of there way to do it. For smaller companies and entrepreneurs it's less realistic to try and follow green computing which more then likely will continue to grow due to the threat of global warming.]]> 2021-08-11 17:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675753497 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675757180 I think individuals and consumers have the greatest challenges. With VPN's becoming a big thing it will cause problems for people in IT. The more new things that come out it has a chance of putting someone out of business. Also with the class right now we have very few people in out career path which might be a problem in the future if we don't have enough youth coming into this part of tech. ]]> 2021-08-11 17:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675757180 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675759310 1. The main area that poses the highest challenge to individuals and consumers is Data Security. The thing about consumers is when they try to buy something, they can't provide security for their data because you can't stop big companies from looking at your data to see who you are or what you want from that company.

2. The main area that poses the highest challenge to small businesses and entrepreneurs is Net Neutrality. If small businesses do not have Net Neutrality, this can slow down the services of small businesses that can't get Net Neutrality. They will also get less pay if they are not able to get Net Neutrality.]]> 2021-08-11 17:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675759310 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675762887 The 2 biggest areas of challenge for individuals would be Net Neutrality and Artificial Intelligence, because individual people don't have much of a choice over these issues as they are decided by people in government or in big businesses.

The 2 biggest areas of challenge for small businesses would be Green Computing and Intellectual Property, because a small business may not necessarily be able to pay for the cost it would take to be energy renewable. They would also be at the mercy of bigger companies with Intellectual Property, as usually the company with the most money is the one that can claim they invented something and that a smaller company is infringing on it.]]> 2021-08-11 17:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675762887 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675763993 Individuals and consumers greatest challenge would be protecting their own personal data. Throughout the development of technology we have seen that certain websites are able to access their data based on previous purchases and recent searches. With this info those businesses are able to send them ads based on this and influence them to be more invested in that product.

I believe that a major factor that poses as a risk towards Individuals and consumers is continued consumerism. Basically meaning instead of wanting to create their own type of game or software (intellectual property) they continue to traverse the wide varieties of other peoples creations and never try to invest time on their own.

2. For smaller businesses and entrepreneurs it's definingly larger corporations and programs that are heavily government funded because they see potential in those type of games.]]> 2021-08-11 17:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675764238 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675770938 1. Individuals and consumers challenge would be personal privacy because, most people now a days post any sort of their information out to the whole world and a lot of the people that do it don't always realize it and it ends up doing them a lot of harm because people will post their first and last name, where they were born, how much they make, what their job is, etc.

Smaller businesses highest concerns would for sure be the fact that no one has their back and if something bad ends up happening at any point during the businesses life span then the owners of said business have to either shut down the place or pay a huge amount of money to try and keep it running and one example we have is covid-19, that virus ended up shutting down a lot of people's small businesses due to the health and productivity for the people that would go there.

The entrepreneurs will have hard time with data security because if they had they're data expose they'll most likely take advantage of it ]]> 2021-08-11 17:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675782487 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675784329 I think the highest challenge a IT professional in training can be is the consumer because the developer has to make the game satisfying to the viewer, and every gamer playing the game always have complaints, and it makes the developer's job harder because they are trying to satisfy the gamer.


entrepreneurs are more important to a IT in training so that person can invest and spread the word of the game, but to get a job would be to join a small business and work their way up.]]> 2021-08-11 17:37:46 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675784329 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675810052 For individuals and consumers. the greatest concern is data security. In this age where lots of information can be gained through a data breach of one company, consumers must take it upon themselves to keep their own data safe.

Smaller businesses face the issue of artificial intelligence taking their jobs, as if a computer can do the same thing as a group of people, there's no point to pay those people for work.]]> 2021-08-11 18:00:27 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1675810052 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1676250836 I think Individuals and consumers probably would have to worry about Intellectual Property once your idea is out on the web there are millions if not billions of people that can steal your idea for their own. It's probably tough getting a copyright protection quickly before someone uses your idea as their own.

Small businesses probably need to worry about cyber security. Hacker are just waiting to get employees social security number and personal data. Small businesses don't have the resources to keep hacker out of their systems.]]> 2021-08-12 02:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1676250836 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1678053280 1. Personal privacy and data security pose to be the biggest challenges of individuals and consumers. In this information age, there are business people out there who want to get their hands on your data in any means necessary to monetize it. The unfortunate part about this is that in exchange for your data, these business people provide almost irreplaceable products that would require a large sacrifice to move away from.
2. For smaller businesses and entrepreneurs, they would have trouble grappling with Intellectual Property (and again,) data security. Inexperienced entrepreneurs can be an easy target in terms of their security practices and naivety towards their own IP. ]]> 2021-08-13 11:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1678053280 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1685871959 the individuals and consumers is at the highest risk or challenge because of how valuable they are to big companies with data and targeted ads 
the small businesses are still at risk just not as much they are at risk of being completely overshadowed by big corporations ]]> 2021-08-19 11:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1685871959 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1685915895 The biggest challenge for individuals would be personal privacy. The reason for this is because almost everything you could about a person is stored and typically logged online. People need personal privacy so that their confidential information isn't taken and used.

2 Smaller businesses face the challenge of data security because they most likely don't have much cybersecurity and could lose their ideas and data maybe even ransomware.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           ]]> 2021-08-19 12:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1685915895 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1686438394 1.I think the highest concern for the consumers will have to be data and peoples privacy being exposed. Once your information gets leaked and sold on the dark web, there's mothing you can do. You wouldn't know what they can do with the information they can do. One person gets it and it could get out to thousands and you wouldn't even know.

2. Smaller business would be at risk the most. They might not get as much help since they are smaller business and the government wouldn't care if it doesn't badly effect them.

A consumer  not knowing could place their payment as well as personal information which could lead to it being stolen. 

A business concerns would be getting hacked and having their consumers information being stolen and sold to third parties. Which could harm a business by having lost future customers trust ]]> 2021-08-25 01:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1694826866 https://padlet.com/raymond_parsons/wupl7xba75wqk2u9/wish/1696457881 The Major concern I have for IT professional in training is 1. Being able to fully learn the concepts and being great at it and know how to be able to solve a problem quickly without any errors or retries.I think this is a main necessity to being able to start a small business or being with entrepreneurs because the better you are the more money will come and money is great
