Difference between CS and IT

A lot of people are asking “what is the difference between Computer Science and Information Technology.” Both two contexts are associated with computer hardware, software network and the like. Even CS and IT graduates can hardly differentiate between the two. When they are asked in a job interview about the difference between CS and IT, most of their answers are the same: “no difference at all.” It is actually a big problem for a CS/IT applicant, if he or she cannot answer this simple question during job interview. This can be an indication that he or she might not be qualified for the job he or she is applying to.

Computer Science and Information Technology are not the same. Computer Science covers the theoretical studies of algorithms and computations including its applications. In other words, CS gives focus to logical and mathematical aspects of computing. The underlying question in this discipline is “What can be automated?” This means that, aside from computations, it also responds to the questions of what are the resources needed in order to run what has been computed. Application Software Developer, Web Developer and System Engineer are the possible careers in CS.

On the other hand, Information technology involves the application of what computer scientists did in order to store, retrieve, modify and network data. It manages information in a most convenient way. They create a database, a container of all information, to organize information quickly. This tool also helps them to eliminate redundant data which is common in a paper-pen type system. In addition, since technology is in the grasp of IT, it is also associated with Internet. Information Technologists manage networks too. The possible careers in IT are Computer Database Administration, Network Administration, Security Analyst of Information, Technical Support and the like.

Computer Science and Information technology started decades ago, but a lot of people still don’t know what the difference is, between the two. Even some professionals of these fields cannot distinguish the two contexts. For better understanding, let us put this way: Computer Science professionals are like electricians who put lights and set up appliances in the house, while IT professionals are those people who live in the house and use these appliances for a desired result.

How to Get Good Grades in Class

In today’s generation, millions of students are hooked to social networking  sites – web platforms that allow to connect and share to other people around the planet. It cannot be denied that these websites have taken big  part of every student’s lifestyle. From early morning they wake-up until they go to their beds, they want to be updated on what is happening around social media.

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and the like provide huge benefits to all mankind. Many of us are able to know what is happening around us such as updates in typhoons, floods, scandals, health issues, politics and etc. Also, these social sites allow to market businesses or promote campaigns; however, they, too, have disadvantage effects especially to students. 

Many of learners today are greatly affected by these social networking sites in terms of getting good grades in class. In my interview to 20 college students, all of them agreed that they sometimes fail to pass exams because they spend too much time with these sites instead of studying  their lessons.

In this blog, I wanna share how to get good grades in class in this modern time. Below are some simple tips that will surely help you.

1.       Attend Classes Regularly

Think that attending the class regulary is an obligation. Avoid sleeping too late at night so  you wont feel sleepy when waking up early. (In fact, this technique is often overlooked.) #ATTENDCLASSES

2.       Keep Away your Gadgets when Studying

When inside the class or studying your lessons, put away your gadgets. I know many of you are using smart phones for course subjects that need calculations, but I discourage you to this style. Why? FB, Twitter, IG and the like are just one click away.#KEEPAWAY

3.       Control your Time Usage    

Social networking sites are not bad but there should be a sense of  control every time you use them. Also, I wanna remind you that these platforms are not your diaries that need to be updated every now and then.  So please, stop spending too much time on these.#CONTROL

4.       Avoid being FAME-WHORE

What is a fame whore? A person who keeps on updating their social profiles every now and then, regardless of how humiliating or demeaning, to get the attention of others. #FAMEWHORE

5.       Be Goal Oriented

Be responsible enough as a student. Have focus to what is your target. Remember, your parents send you to school to learn things for your future career. Always remember that. #GOALORIENTED
