1. Introduction to myself:
I am currently undertaking Bachelors in Computer Science and engineering from a
renowned university in Australia. My hobby is playing cricket and I am interested in music of
all kind. As per my area of study concerns it is mainly based on gaining knowledge on
modern information technologies. I have attended various seminars and workshops based on
information and communication technologies arranged by various technologically advanced
companies and from there I have gained the interest on knowing and trying to discover the
facts behind these technologies. I am interested to work with software companies in future in
the field of cloud computing as recently this has emerged in a high demand among the
technology experts.
2. What IT careers are forecasted to be in high demand? Explain why.
Emerging technologies are working as a catalyst for the modern IT careers that are
high in demand. This IT careers include Cyber security engineer, Full stack developer, AI
engineer, Cloud engineer, Scrum master and many more (Bayne, 2015).
Cyber security engineer: Due to the major concern in the security field with the new
technologies, the demand for a specialised cyber security engineer is high in the future.
Full stack developer: The demand for full stack developers are also increasing day by day as
many companies are moving away from front-end and back-end development teams to a
more experienced full stack developer.
Cloud engineer: Due to increased job postings in the field of cloud computing the demand for
cloud engineers are also increasing for the future cloud based technologies.

3. Why IT is important to your career? What do you want to get by studying this
subject? What is your plan when you finish your study?
Information and technology is the core knowledge for any computer science
engineering student and thus it plays a vital role in my career in B.Tech. It is important for
me to have ideas about the latest trending technologies and their application in various fields
(Mafi, 2013).
While studying this subject I want to know how technologies are used in handling
various information and learn its concept on aiding communication. Information and
communication technology has its various advantages in the field of management,
engineering and science.
I will complete my B.Tech course within 4 years and after completion I want to
undertake a job where I can get an on job training on the use of various technologies in
making software and deploying websites and other applications in the cloud environment
using various resources and excel in that field.
4. Explain what is meant by data volatility. How does it affect the use of databases for
data analysis?
Data volatility refers to the rate of change of data values over a definite span of time.
The data which are stored in the volatile memory of the computer system are regarded as the
volatile data (Nasser & Tariq, 2015). The data gets stored there on the basis of power and
whenever the power gets interrupted, the stored data in it gets lost.

As new values get discovered the data present in the databases of a particular system
gets changed and as a result, the data analysis results also change than the previously
analysed data sets.
5. What are the problems associated with cloud computing?
Cloud computing is a growing technology that many companies are using to sell their
products and place their business to a wide range of customers (Ahmed & Hossain, 2014).
But there are some major risks associated with it which includes-
1. Unauthorized access to customer’s credentials
2. Inability to provide security to business organizations by controlling disasters.
3. Risk in providing business viability to business providers.
4. Inability to track data once it enters the cloud environment.
5. Problem related to the application itself.
