Network Administration, Communication, and Our Nation's Economy.

As a Network Administrator it is hard to imagine changing the world. In fact, as any one person alone it is hard to imagine changing the world. As the President stated in his speech however, it is exactly this train of thought that needs to be changed. As the saying “every penny counts” can change ones financial outlook so can the saying “every person counts” change our nation’s infrastructure. So as a Network Administrator I would like to rise to that challenge and do my part to change not only our nation but possibly the world. With that said, communication is the backbone of our nation’s economy and without it we could no longer stand as the greatest nation. As we have seen lately in Egypt, communication is a powerful tool when used properly. As a Network Administrator it is my job to keep these communications up and running so that our nation can continue to work, talk, learn, etc. As a nation, we are constantly improving the ways we communicate. These improvements come in all shapes and sizes. Starting from fire and smoke signals, to the internet and Facebook™, we constantly continue to advance. These improvements come in stride as we fight to stay on top of not only the means of communication but the equally important technology to run them. This again is where my career comes in. The ability to manage and design an ever changing network of wires and hardware is the key to the success of this nation and the world. From transportation, to the military, to schools and homes, communication is everywhere. Not only through the internet but through television, radio, land lines, and cell phones communication is in everything we do. The challenge to manage all of these things is not only a challenge I accept but a challenge I look forward to tackling everyday from this day forth.
