technology in my country

The country I was born in and grow up with is one of the highly populated country in this world. The rich people have been living a life like western world. But, the middle class and poor are the one struggling to survive. However; in this fast moving digital world, people from all classes are moving forward with technology more or less.

Cellphone is one of the technology not only changed how people used to think about technology but it did change the way  of living. For an example : when I was little, I saw my family had to pay 100 taka per minute to talk to my sister living in the United State. Now, my parent can talk to me over Skype or viber for no cost. Isn’t it amazing?  Cellphone revolution in my country is one of the thing that connected the people living in rural are to be informed not only with the rest of the  country but rest of the world. For example: presidential election in the United State not only a subject to the United State but the whole world. Before it used to take a lot of time to be informed about the other side of the world, but now it takes few second. Like, my cousin served sweet to the whole village the next minute he knew that Obama won.

Computer and laptops are also being used in my country but not as cellphone. 27% of the population has one computer or laptop. But, the unavailability of internet and it’s being expensive are the two barriers not letting computer or laptop to move fast as cellphone. However, all higher educational institutions are trying to keep technology updated with rest of the world to maintain the standards of education. Offices, shopping mall, hospitals are also using technology for providing better services.

Access at work

I thought I had submitted this assignment before but I was wrong.

I’ve never used Access before but after learning more about it, I realized how important it is in the work space. Access is used mainly for very large amounts of data. If you want to keep track of customer information such as names, addresses, and telephone numbers, then this data should be stored in Access. This information may grow to also include other data such as customer orders. Access is also most useful for importing and exporting databases. Overall it’s a very reliable and organized way to manage everyday work data!

How people are using Excel at work

I have not used Excel at work however I am very eager to learn this system because I know it will be extremely benificial in starting and furthering my career. Excel is definitely one of the most popular programs used by millions of corporations for many operations such as storing and managing various data. Excel is also used to perform mathematical calculations such as finding profit and loss of sales or banks can use excel to calculate mortgage and loan percentages.

How people are using Access at work

Unfortunately I have never used or herd of Access before however this course definitely build up some interest in the program. I went online and did some research to find out in detail how Access is used and how does it differ from Excel.

Access and Excel are information storing and managing database, the main difference between the two is the format the information can be stored.

Access is used by professionals to store large amounts of data such as employee information or customer information (large corporations)

How people use Access

Very simply, Microsoft Access is an information management tool that helps you store information for reference, reporting, and analysis.  Microsoft Access can help you overcome the limitations found when trying to manage large amounts of information in Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet applications.

The value any database can provide is to store related information in one place, and then let you connect various different things together (sometimes called “entities” in database speak).  You store one version of the truth for any given thing, like a client, a DVD, or an order.  Some of the major benefits to using a database are:
  1. Fewer errors and inconsistencies.  Maintaining one version of the truth for the things you need to track minimizes the potential for duplication, errors, and inconsistent values.  In the Excel example above, customer names, contact phone numbers, and product names are misspelled, transposed, and abbreviated in different forms.  Imagine trying to create a report or graph in Excel that shows an accurate picture of your sales or other key performance indicators.
  2. Higher productivity. You and others working in your database need only change a single record and all other related things in your database will automatically “see” the change.   In our Excel example, you would need to change every occurrence of a customer’s name.  Find and replace wouldn’t necessarily catch that a customer’s name is spelled six different ways.  In a database, there is only one customer record to change.  Every other record (orders, contacts, etc) that relates to that customer record will never need to change because they are joined to the customer.

Microsoft Access works in the same manner any database does, by storing related information together, and letting you create connections (commonly called relationships) between different things.  The relationships between two different things in MSAccess can be very simple (such as a contact at a customer and the customer itself) or complex.  In the example below, the blue boxes represent the major things we’re tracking in our MS Access database tables, and the reports at right show how you can join the related information for analysis and reporting.

How people use Access at Work

I have no experience of using Access at work. The first time I use Access was in high school. I was helping the teacher to print out all the admission letters to the new transfer students, and actually the template of the letters are the name, we just left the name blank. We had already input all the name in a Access document, then we link the word doc and the access doc together, then we just need to simply type in the student id numbers and the printer will automatically print out all the letter respectively with the names.

How some people use Access at work

I have never used Access before. I hope as time goes by i learn how it works and how it makes work more efficient. I did see on the Internet some of its benefits.

In general, Access stores data in its own format. It can also import or link directly to data stored in other applications and databases. Software developers can also use Access for developing application software, good for solving problems and making life easier. Access is also user friendly, meaning that even a person of little experience can contribute to their job. It facilitates work by allowing users to use templates.
