Web Seminar Essay on Carlos Dominguez

Last week I was tuned into the CISCO seminar which was hosted by Carlos Dominguez, and my opinion on the seminar was that it changed my views on what i would become in the future. Carlos Dominguez presents his seminar with many interesting things. Most of which, he talked about his personal life, personal experiences in networking, and how he became the person that he is today. My experiences as a CISCO student so far, makes me think about how i can improve on my ability to work with others, myself, and for other people. It may sound quite simple at first, but Carlos Dominguez's experiences say otherwise.

Who is Carlos Dominguez you ask? Carlos Dominguez is the Vice President of CISCO and he has many years of experience in the networking field. Carlos Dominguez tells us of how technology innovates culture, and has the ability to create successful companies. For example, lets say you just created an expensive restaurant, but isn't special or unique than the restaurants you are competing against. Then you are going to have trouble generating profits from consumers and having more demands from your customers (If you even have any). With the latest 21st century technology, networking can help innovate your restaurant even further with unique ideas to help bring culture to your business and happiness to your consumers. The internet has the ability to not only attract customers to you, but bring the restaurant to your customers by designing your very own website and having to put your own ideas to the world.

Carlos Dominguez also expresses how to become a change agent and what the significance of a change agent can provide to influence other colleagues to the companies advantage. How do you define what a change agent is? A change agent is an individual who can mentally, physically, and triumphantly solve goals that were forced on them themselves. Change agents go farther than their comfort zone because they know they can make the change they want, and they know it has to be done to reach any goal they could accomplish. Change agents also, make changes not only for their jobs to become more easy, but for their lives to be more motivating and awe-inspiring. They help influence their social peers to become more productive, and they make everyone's job more co-operative so that they may get to their milestones as a team. Change agents also have good abilities to lead, an easy way of describing a change agent would be a revolutionary.

I agree with Carlos Dominguez on his views of what a change agent would be. It is in my honesty that change agents are the stepping stones of success and how successfully companies become astonishing with their business. They know how to work as a team, they know what their responsibilities are, and they can successfully meet their goals through mental thinking. In my opinion, Dominguez describing what a change agent, inspired me the most to think about future goals i want to accomplish. If i start working on my "changing" skills, i should start by making the change myself and right now. Could it follow the footsteps of Carlos? I would think of Carlo's career to be out of my interests. I want to become something different than Carlos, but his career in networking isn't bad in my opinion. Although, networking wouldn't be my best major to focus with in the future, i have other plans to begin in college.

In conclusion, i agree with Carlos Dominguez, and Carlos inspired me tremendously on how to think about the future ahead of me. It is in my best ability, to withstand any obstacle in the future to reach my highest goals, and through becoming a revolutionary is the first step. I need to create more goals than what i already have to challenge myself at my best abilities. Like Carlos, planning a future isn't going to easy, it takes time and a lot of effort into becoming what i want to be. However, if i at least try to make the change for myself, i believe anything is possible.

Chapter Case Study #8

a) What's the name of this kind of interface?
- The name for this kind of interface is called cross-talk-interface

b)Explain why it can slow down the network traffic.

-The reason why it can slow down the traffic is because, the number of packets being sent at a time decreases the service of sending and receiving packets. The network was also using CAT-5 UTP which doesn't have shielded protection, which means it is subjected to external interfaces which may cause corruption with in the traffic.

c)Would the result of the test be any different if the networking cable was running next to a just installed small alarm clock instead of an A/C unit? Why?

-Yes, because an alarm clock doesn't use a lot of noise frequency and isn't being used for the majority of the time. The A/C however, is on for the most part and it uses a lot of power to generate sound frequencies, these sound frequencies are subjected to interrupt internal traffic within the CAT-5 UTP cable.
