Post #7 – Tech Topic Connection
The technical topic I chose is programming language. I find the topic to be fascinating as it is constantly evolving. "Computers originated from telephone switches in the early 1900s. Engineers realized switches could be used for performing calculations, with a switch's on position meaning 1 and the off position 0" (Vahid & Lysecky, 2019, sec. 1.1).

Programming has significantly evolved since the golden days of programming. Programming is a part of the fundamentals of information technology. Information technology is used to create, store and communicate information electronically. Information technology courses focus on using computers, technology, hardware, software, databases (data and information storage), Networks, Telecommunication, and IT Professionals. Programming affects all of these things because it is the code th...
