anybody home ???
Haha. It's me again, again
heeeyyy
Heyo
so hows life besides this chit chat thihng
Haha. pretty good. I had a bonfire a couple of hours ago, that was fun. Haha. What about you?
oh cool!!! did you have smores and delicious food and music? thats what I usually do when we have fire I just took a break from all this chat thing and I closed my eyes for a bit
Yeah, that is exactly what happened. Hahah. Oh nice! I bet that was good. I get a headache after staring at the screen for a long time.
you still there friend?
Yes!
awesome. yeah I can stare at a screen for 20 hours straight and still be fine hahaha
Oh, that's lucky Oh yeah, weren't you the one that was talking about IT and everything? Or am I going crazy?
yeah you are smart! I am in IT actually and plus I grew up playing a ton of video games growing up so I am really used to the computer screen what did we talk about today? i can't really remember
Haha. Nice. We talked about IT and how I should go into it because it is in high demand especially because I am a girl. What video games do you like? We might of talked about this already, but I can't remember.
that is right!!! hahaha I used to play a lot of massive multiplayer online games like world of warcraft then I got in to league of legends. Then now I am playing fortnite
Oh nice. I have never played any of those, but my friends have. Hahaha.
hahaha yeah they are really fun. Have you talked to anyone about you maybe becoming an IT girl?
I was talking to my mom about it when I she was helping me set up my schedule. She thinks that it is an interesting idea and I should look into it.
awesome. looks like you have a good supportive mother. My mom wasn't so much like that when I was in highschool she had all these plans for me that I didn't really like but now shes really cool and supports me in my own decisions let me find you some youtube video that explains what IT is
Yeah, My mom is pretty cool. Hm. I'm sorry. That would be great
im watching some videos right now as we chat
Okay. Sounds good.
man there are so many I.T. lingos that you won't understand in so many videos.... they suck.
Hahaha. Yeah... That sucks. Hahaha
yeah take IT101 its the best 3 and easiest credits you will take at BYU and you will learn a lot or I can tell you everything that I know so far about it in general but I will be talking a lot
Yeah, sure. You can tell me about it. It will not only keep me informed, but also help you win points!! haha :)
hahaha ok Ill go from the beginning buckle up ok so basically what IT is that its the field of study and work where everything computer related revolves around.
Okay
Everything from the internet to computer build up to building the wifi to building the software that is in computers or phones to whatever also it involves building the security of the computers, hacking, to defending against hackers it also encompasses the database for everything that is digital. You have to design the database, maintain the database etc. you can also learn to code in any language
Is that hard to do?
it depends on what you like. I love databases and its not that hard. Anything computer wise is very straight forward because computers need to be told exactly what to do or else the computer won't be able to function correctly so most of IT is pretty straightforward
Okay
OH and my field of study is user experience design
Sorry, go on
this field of study is basically deisgning apps or website or anything that has a pixel screen to be pretty but functional and easy to use. Thats what I really like to do and that is what IT leads at BYU because we don't have programs like that here yet Did I mention hacking?
Yeah a bit
You will learn how to hack ethically and learn how to protect against other hackers let me find you a cool hacking video real quick
Okay
look of Defcon the mostfamous hacker conference on youtube and its by InfoSec4tc the quality sucks really bad for some reason so im sorry but this will give you how scary a hacker can be right now in the world I really exhort you to watch the entire thing. Its just 10 minutes and it will blow your mind
Okay, I will look it up
you should watch it right now so we can talk about it hahahaha I love to geek out about cyber security because so many people are so oblivious to it
I am watching it now. I am at the part where the girl just got his cell phone companies account and personal info
yesss social engineering is the coolest you can be that girl!!!
Hahah. Oh my giddy aunt!! I am scared right now. Holy cow! That is insane.
did you watch the whole thing?
Yeah I did... So I keep getting these text messages that have a link attached to it.. I have never clicked on them and I never will, but what should I do with the text?
they all come from different numbers right?
Should I reply stop, or should I just delete the text Let me check Oops, I think I deleted the first one. But if I get another one and it is from a different #, what should I do? That video was crazy, it is interesting, but also scary!
good job not clicking on links. RULE NUMBER ONE of the internet and cyber securiy is that never click on links
Okay. That is good to know.
just ignore them and they should stop
Okay, I will do that.
ok so what did you think besides it being cool and scary? what did you learn?
Um.. I learned that people can get information really easily and that we need to be more cautious about what we do and who we give our information to.
yessss that is something very important in our age and especially the digital age. I can probably hack you socially right now if I really wanted to
Oh, great. That's fun
I can probably figure out your netID on the leaderboard and start from there. and just like in the video I might be able to spoof an email or other messages to you and put a virus or malware in your computer and hack  you that way
Fun stuff. Hahaha
hahahah yeah it is. Does that interest you at all? that is just one field of IT besides it being from just interesting
Yeah, that does interest me. I am going to look more into it, and maybe take the IT101 class this Fall or Winter and see if I want to continue. It was IT 101, right?
yes it is
Okay, I am going to write that down so I don't forget.
yes I have converted! halleujah hahahaha converted someone*
Hahaha!! You should get a prize
yes i should.
Hopefully you can win this macbook Pro Hahah
yeah me too! I am working my butt off for it
Haha. The high score on the leader board is insane! Hahaha
yeah it is......
That's probably the person who kept hundreds of tabs open!!!
hahaha maybe..... or it could be the second guy because he doesn't want the first guy to get anyone to talk to just an idea because if I remember correctly couple days ago the first guy was like 2.5 million points ahead of him. and now just over 1.4 million.
Oh, that is true! Oh yeah. That could be possible than. then* Ah, sorry, that was bad english!
having a hundred tabs open might be working becuase he will intercept all the people so he keeps all the chats for himself haha no worries. I dont really care hahaha
Hahaha. That is actually pretty smart! Okay :)
yeah it is smart but unfair for those who want to talk to other people or not have to wait a gazillion years for to find someone real to talk to like it happened to us today
Yeah. That is very true.
anyway that is enough about that. What are you up to tomorrow? do you have school?
Technically yes, but no. I only have two classes this semester and it is online so I can do it whenever I want. So I go and volunteer at my local Senior center. What are your plans tomorrow? Or I guess it's technically today!! Man, I didn't realize it was 12:30
holy cow... its late hahaha you volunteer! you are such a great citizen
Yeah! Hahaha. Yeah, boy! Awe, thanks.  I initially started doing it so I could put it on college applications, but then I really started to love it, so I kept going!
what do you do at the senor center????????
I serve lunch to the old people. And I talk to them
oh fun!
Yeah
I used to go to the senor center a lot in the mission to do service hours. I loved it and they loved us hahaha . We would play dominos and bingo all the time with them.
That is awesome! I bet. Oh man, old people and their bingo, they gotta have it! Where did you go on your mission?
I served my mission in Oakland and San Francisco speaking cambodian
Nice! Cambodian? Wow, that's interesting! Did you use it a lot?
it was super interesting. Cambodian has the most alphabets in the world! Their keyboard is actually insane. To be honest I didn't get to use it a lot because this generation and evryone else spoke english really well. Only really old people couldn't speak English.
Wow! That sounds super interesting. Oh okay.
yeah it was fun. Did you say you went on a mission or was planning on going?
Yeah, I bet. No, I haven't been on a mission, I am still deciding if I should go. I am going to go to college for a year and then decide. Random question time: if you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be with?
hmm let me see.... I probably would have dinner with uhhhh I don't know. I think I would have dinner with my Grandma that passed away and ask her all about my mom and how she grew up and stuff like that and know all the dirty hahaha
Awe! That is so awesome. I love that answer. Usually people answer with someone famous, but this answer is so humble and sweet! I love it!
hahaha thanks! I really don't care about the famous people in the past or anything. Jesus would be cool but Illl dine with him some day so its whatever
:) Hahaha. That's awesome!! LOL
thanks. What about you IRC?
:) I would probably want my grandpa. I never got to meet him, but all of the stories I hear are pretty great. Also, like what you said, I would want to hear about my dad growing up
I didn't meet any of my grandpas either. Where did your dad grow up? man I am getting real sleepy right now. How are you holding up hahaha?
Hm. That is a tricky question. My dad was born in Nottingham, England, then moved to Scotland, then back to England, then to American, Then to England, and then American again Yeah, I am getting pretty tired too! Hhaha.
yeah I am going to bed.... sorry IRC  I can't hanggggggg
Thats alright. It was nice talking to ya. Have a good night!! Bye!
see ya!
:)
