Section 1 (What Can I Do With A Computer): Due to the fact that I am an Accounting and Finance double major there are many needs that this computer I am buying for the University of Delaware and after must contain. To start off, I will start with talking about what this computer needs for both aspects of college and post college. First and most obviously, this computer needs to be able to connect with the Internet quickly and efficiently while also being portable, meaning it should be a laptop. While in college I will be bouncing all over the place from classrooms to the library and post college I will be traveling on business most likely.
One of the most important things this computer must have is the best security program out there. In college I will be doing projects and other types of work on this computer and if this information is taken it can be very bad for myself. Eventually I can see myself as an accountant which means dealing with people’s money. If a person’s financial statements are on the memory of this computer, there needs to be a security system that blocks hackers from stealing these statements and committing identity theft against some of my clients. Another very important software that needs to be on this pc is disaster recovery software. If something were to go wrong on this computer, both a large project that I am working on at the University of Delaware or a client’s finances/taxes, could be lost and then this could get them or myself in trouble with the government. Getting into the specifics of my major, the majority of classes that I will need to graduate will be math or business related. There are really no other subjects that I will be required to take in which I will need specific software for on this
