    I learnt that python can even do mathematics calculations, which I found really cool because python can do so much more than I thought. It was easier, too. I enjoyed it and look forward to learn more.

    Supercomputers are significant to upgraded versions of computers. A server is a device that stores information. Large databases are stored on mainframes, which can serve a large number of users at once.

    The servers have the ability to send, store, and retrieve data.

    Mainframes have the capability of running multiple operating systems at the same time. Time-sharing in computing refers to the sharing of the same resources by multiple users at the same time through multiprogramming and multitasking.

    CPU- CPU stands for Central Processing Unit. It’s the portion of a computer that retrieves and executes instructions. The CPU is essentially the brain of a CAD system. The CPU is often simply referred to as the processor.

    Video Card- The integrated circuit that generates the video signal sent to a computer display is also known as a graphics card. It includes a graphics processing unit (GPU), which is a processor dedicated to image creation, as well as a digital-to-analog converter and memory chips for storing display data.

    Hard Drive- A hard drive is the component that basically stores all of the digital content. Your documents, pictures, music, videos, programs, application preferences, and operating system represent digital content stored on a hard drive. Hard drives can be external or internal.

    Windows are more affordable, easier to upgrade, and compatible with more software. The Windows platform is the most upgradeable of the two and, because there are so many tutorials, guides, and how-tos, it’s also the easiest to upgrade. And Macs simplify the user experience, resulting in a high-end machine that both looks and performs well. However, Apple doesn’t design Macs to be upgraded, and upgrading Macs that are is difficult due to the way they’re built. The RAM on some MacBooks is soldered to the motherboard, so upgrading isn’t an option. In my opinion, Windows are better.

    Authentication.
    Encapsulation Method.
    Data Encryption.
    Key Management.

    A VPN creates a secure connection between you and the internet. All of your data traffic is routed through an encrypted virtual tunnel via the VPN. When you use the internet, this masks your IP address, making its location invisible to everyone. External attacks are also protected by a VPN connection.
    You can use a VPN to access web applications and websites while maintaining complete anonymity. In comparison to incognito modes and web proxies, which don’t completely protect your identity or data, a VPN is far more beneficial.

    1. You can hide your location, IP address, and online activity with a VPN.
    2. When you use VPN, you will feel safer when surfing the web alone. When you are with others, you can use VPN to create your own network and, in some ways, get faster results.

    Symmetric encryption uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt, on the other hand, asymmetric encryption uses public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.
