UNIX Skills and Job Marketability in the Modern Era
UNIX is the most-used operating system powering enterprise today, surpassing Microsoft Windows and all other operating systems combined. UNIX is also the foundation of the Linux operating systems, many variants of open source software, and is also in large part the theoretical foundation of the Google Android operating system (Sen, Singh, Borle, 2012). As a result of the pervasive adoption and widespread standardization on UNIX, the career opportunities are very significant. The salaries for positions vary by the difficult of the work being done, difficulty of replacing the person doing it, and the scope of experience a job candidate has (MacInnis, 2006). The future for those with UNIX programming and development skills is also being accelerated by the rapid adoption of Linux as the foundational operating systems of enterprises today, specifically in the areas of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) integration, transaction management and databases management and administration (de Brulin, Bos, Bal, 2011). Where the highest growth opportunities are however for those with UNIX programming and software development skills is in the area Web application development and the creation of mobile applications for the Google Android operating system and Apple iOS operating system. Of these two, UNIX has had a far greater influence on the development and continual fine-turning of Android, as Google seeking to bring this operating system to tablets, smartphones and mini-tablets in the 2012 – 2013 timeframes (Sen, Singh, Borle, 2012). For those more interested in the administration and management of enterprise systems, there's also the role of system administrator, which can over time become a career path to system manager and eventually IT Director of Infrastructure (Dobb, 2011). This analysis will evaluate the current state of UNIX and job marketability, specifically focusing on how Linux, Google Android and Apple iOS operating system development is one of the fastest growing areas of programming employment right now. These three areas, Linux, Android and Apple iOS, are also heavily based on the fundamental concepts of UNIX, as the creators of these applications are more focused on how to create scalable, secure and stable operating systems that will lead to mass adoption of the applications built on them.
Social Networking Sites and the Benefits of Online Communication
Only a few decades ago, the basic means for communication were mobile phones, letters, e-mails and direct interaction. Presently, the general scope of human communication has evolved to text messages, voice messages, online video phones, and, most importantly, a plethora of social media installments. With the ongoing development of the Information Age, characterized by the ability to easily access and exchange information through technology, people's options of interaction with one another have continued to advance. This work's purpose is to outline how social networks have completely changed and enhanced the way people communicate, with a special focus on relational, educational and health-care benefits.
Google Corporate Social Responsibility and Technology Ethics
Google has the social responsibility of protecting user information, providing products to make people's lives more meaningful across the globe, and to do the right thing in business and personal matters.
