Reliabilityre·li·a·bil·i·ty [ri-lahy-uh-bil-i-tee] nounthe ability to be relied on or depended on, as for accuracy, honesty,

or achievement.

Not all computers are reliable. They also can sometimes make mistakes, almost always, at the fault of the programmers.

Reliability Pentium Floating Point Unit Bug

Like in the case of the Intel Pentium Floating Point unit bug. The Processor came up with incorrect values ,when dividing, beyond the 4th decimal.

For example: (824633702441.0)*(1/824633702441.0)= 1solved by the pentium processor = 0.999999996274709702

Y2KThis is yet another programing error. This happened in

1999 when everyone was worried that the computers would malfunction because they weren’t yet year 2000 (Y2K) compatible.

Past, Present, And Future of Reliability

There will be reliability problems for as long as there is room for human error. Reliability is a problem that will probably, never go away.

Security Software Security - Software security encompasses measures taken throughout the application's life-cycle to prevent exceptions in the security policy of an application or the underlying system through flaws in the design, development, deployment, upgrade, or maintenance of the application

Network Security - Network security consists of the provisions and policies adopted by a network administrator to prevent and monitor unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources

Past, Present & Future of Security

• Security whether it be software or network has always been needed. Since the creation of the internet, people have used it with malicious intent, and you must be well equipped to handle such attacks.

• Ever since the 1970’s the effort to have computer security has been made.

• Encryption is one of the earliest techniques used to protect computer networks from hackers and other malicious computer users.

• With the evolution of technology, security is becoming much easier to use and more effective, but also the technology that causes these security breaches are becoming harder to stop and even harder to detect.

Nanotechnology (Nanotech)

Technology that is extremely small, highly useful, and innovative. As well as powerful at a atomic and molecular level.

Nanotechnology by definition is any type of device that is roughly between 1 - 100 nanometers in size. To give perspective a sheet of newspaper is about 100,000 nanometers thick

NanotechThere are however many ethical issues with such technology as it can be used for committing crimes, or since they are a self replicating device can malfunction and infinitely multiply causing what some call “grey goo” to envelope the world. Yet that is a far off doomsday fear. Other types of worries about the ethics of such powerful technology is that it could be used as a weapon of mass destruction as opposed as a tool for the betterment of mankind, as well as the question of who gets to use this type of technology arises.

History of NanotechThe idea of nanotechnology was first developed in 1959

Then in the 1980’s nanotechnology became an emerging field.

As the science grew the practice of manipulating atoms using nanotechnology became more common.

Then in the 2000’s controversies arose in regards of the implements of this technology and how it will be used.

In the future nanotechnology will be used to heal the sick as the nanobots attack viruses at their level.

It can be used to keep food fresher longer, as well as aid everyday life in huge ways other than what is already listed as the possibilities are endless with this technology
