Transmission cabling and techniques
Respond to this discussion 250 minimum words.
The foundation of LANs and all networks is the transmission medium. Transmission media fall into 3 categories: metallic, optical fiber and the open space. Metallic
media are in 2 legacy types: coax and twisted pair, with a 3rd emerging type: powerline. Transmission media are characterized primarily by two factors: raw bandwidth
(in Hertz), and noise/interference, which in turn determine the transmission capacity in bits/sec. Transmission capacity of a medium also depends on the signaling
technique (e.g., modulation) used to transmit the signal. Discuss the evolution of transmission media up to now, and prediction of such evolution into the future, as
the demand for bandwidth keeps rising. Also explore signal handling techniques, such as modulation, OFDM, and MIMO, particularly used in wireless systems.

Discussion Points:
One of the advantages to writing a program that is subdivided into methods/modules is that such a structure allows different programmers to write separate methods,
thus dividing the work.
1. What is the advantage to this?
2. How did you create a ‘module’ or ‘method’ in your assignments? Provide your screenshot!
3. How did you document your program (Provide your example–codes or screenshot)?

Discussion Points:
• While computers can help us to work more efficiently, they can also be profoundly frustrating and unproductive. Have computers and IT really improved
productivity?
• Discuss your findings, your experiences, likes and dislikes.
Weigh the struggles an organization may have against the increased productivity they may be looking for.

MNCs and globalization go hand-in-hand. After reading this week’s lesson, find an MNC and describe ways it has been a good citizen or a bad citizen. Don’t use Nestle
since it is described in the lesson.
