What Is "Social Engineering"?

Social Engineering is that someone steals personal information, such as passwords, personal identification number, addresses, and credit card number as illegal means with the computer. After the person who steals these important information got them, the person commits a fraud; therefore, we have to make sure of guarding the personal information from the frauds. They got our information from any place even garbage cans. If I threw away paper which is written my card number in the garbage can unconsciously, my personal information would be gotten by one fraud, so when I throw away some paper even not so much necessary one, I have to dump carefully. Next, some frauds identify with victim’s friend. After that, the person wrests the victim’s address or telephone number from one person on the phone. We need to guard our important information by ourselves from bad things or people. It is hard to live in the society for the people including me. I think these swindle deeds begin to occur in the world from some years ago. In the past, there were will not these vice in the society; therefore, I hope that the frauds disappear from the world.
Many people, especially elderly people are cheated by frauds. Many frauds does ore-ore fraud, which means one fraud identifies with the person’s grandchild on the phone. When the fraud calls the elderly person, the fraud never says the name. The person just says “ore-ore” which means “I am your grandson.” Usually, the content of the conversation is that the fraud tells worry about the money to the elderly person. Almost all of the people love their grandchildren; therefore, when the people heard the money problem, they cannot leave their grandchildren. Many elderly people cannot know whether the person is real grandson or not, so they have paid a large sum of money into nominated account. I cannot believe the fraud conduct because it tramples on elderly people’ kindness. I want elderly people to be careful about the fraud.

What I want to learn about the computer

I am not good at use the computer; therefore, I want to get the knowledge of the computer as much as possible, but I would like to learn about especially how to do presentation with the computer. When I was a junior high school student, I have made presentation with the computer. At that time, it was fun for me; however, it was also difficult work to me; therefore, I could not remember its process, so I want to learn how to make presentation to use the computer again. Also, if I could master that, it is helpful my speech when I have to do that. Then recently, there are many computers in our society; therefore, I need to use the computer perfectly in the not only college but also other places, such as companies, so I want to learn about the computer during the class from now on.

My History with Computers

When I was a pupil, I learned how to use the computer for the first time. At that time, I did not have my computer; therefore, all of things about the computer were new for me, so I enjoyed it. Then when I was a junior high school student, I learned more about a computer system than the elementary school. I liked to use the computer, but its class often made me confuse because the computer has so much functions. I could not grasp the functions of the computer. Also, I learned how to Microsoft Word and Excel there, but I could not understand the working of the Excel. It was little bit hard for me. Finally, I did small presentation with the computer. I am not good at use the machine; therefore, its work was hard to me. However, I could enjoy using the computer. Then I often used the Internet at my home; thus, I did not use the computer everyday. However, after I entered the LCJ, I have been using it more than before. I use it nearly everyday, such as for essay, or search something, so recently, the computer has been becoming close to me.
