This course did not directly help me with one of the skills I was looking for: How does a computer connect to the internet and how do you trouble shoot the connectivity. That being said I did learn an incredible amount of very useful information about how a computer does its magic. It was helpful to be forced to open a computer and explore those internal components. I kind of want to go into the old computer and preform a complete autopsy. The timing of this class and the beginning of my own computer issues on my desktop could not have been timed better. Most of the issues I am or was having were covered in this class.
I work on the computer for most of my work day and I understand a great deal more than I did. The course has peaked my interest in the technology of computing which I believe in the long run is going to cost me. I am already looking a making several upgrades to my system based on what I have learned in this class.
On the practical side I have leaned quite a bit about antivirus software and will continue the search to find a system that works for me. In addition to gaining a better understanding about the dangers of hard drive failure I have increased the security of our existing back-up plan.
All in all this course has been helpful both personally and professionally.
