As the field of computer network is vast, there are many other facets related to the responsibilities of a computer network technician. He may be required to update the antivirus functionality for all the computers in the network. These technicians normally work in groups and report to a manager in computer networking company.
Some other aspects of the roles and responsibilities section for a computer network technician are as follows:

What Computer Leasing Companies Don’t Tell You About Computer Hardware Leasing
Oct 13th
Because most Canadian business owners and financial managers aren’t tech savvy they are often intimidated and confused by computer leasing companies and computer hardware leasing. We also are always amazed when clients don’t know that computer software can be financed also – not everyone knows or tells you that. If a certain computer leasing company does not by policy finance software, guess what, you have other financing options for that part of your purchase.
You have made the decision to lease of finance your technology, which might include hardware, software, telecom equipment, routers, etc! One of the key drivers in your decision is of course always the tremendous cost of capital equipment acquisition in technology. And it’s not as if that’s an appreciating asset on your books. Have you checked out computer and technology prices – performance goes up and new models come out every year, and price comes down. Other than absolute cost that is of course good news.
What most lease companies don’t tell you is that you have a number of key decisions to make when you lease technology, and their firm might not necessarily be the best one to finance your purchase. Why is that? Simply because financing companies are not technology companies, they are driven by pure return on invested capital. They make money via the actual interest rate on the transaction, as well as the sale of your computers at the end of the lease if you have entered into a fair market lease. (More about fair market leases later)
Other ways in which the lease company makes money off your firm is the ability to lock you into a relationship whereby you become a repeat annuity customer for additional technology financing. Other subtle and minor profit generators for lease firms that you might not know about are:
Computer Technology Merging With TV Technology More All the Time
Oct 12th
Over the past decade, there has been a phenomenal amount of crossover between computer technology and TV technology. This is especially surprising given the fact that most Americans have largely rejected the idea of a living room computer. However, most of the computer technology that has found its way into the living room hasn’t had the overt appearance of a personal computer.
The earliest example of an acceptable piece of computer equipment in the home entertainment center (that wasn’t a video game platform) was the digital TV receiver. The widespread use of these devices actually dates back to the early nineteen nineties when satellite TV became economically viable for typical households. By all outward appearances, it would have been easy to blur digital TV receivers together with any other set top box, but underneath it all was the fact that they converted digital data to the sounds and images that made up TV.
The DVD player was a much more obvious example of the blurring between computer and TV technologies. After all, by the time that DVD players became common, CD-ROM drives had been on computers for years. Since both are optical drives, and computers and DVD players loaded their discs in similar ways, the resemblance was pretty plain. Of course, CD’s had been in stereo systems and computers for years, so people were already used to seeing the resemblance there.

Computer Software – the Core of the Computer
Oct 12th
Computer hardware and software are two sides of the same coin. Computer hardware cannot function if it doesn’t have the necessary software to operate it. It will be just a piece of junk without the support of the required software. Computer Software is of 3 types:
System software
Programming software
Application Software
System Software helps in running the computer hardware and computer system. It helps to shield the programmer to a great extent from the details of the particular computer hardware or system being used, especially memory and other accessory devices like printers, readers, communications, displays, keyboards, displays,
Programming Software provides tools to assist a programmer to write computer programs and software using specialised language called programming language. These tools are merged by integrated development environment (IDE) and a programmer may not need to type multiple commands for compiling, debugging, tracing etc., because the IDE usually has an advance Graphical User Interface or GUI. Graphical User Interface acts as an interface between the computer and the user.
Application Software allows the user to carry out one or more specific tasks which are not computer related. These applications include business software, medical software, educational software, databases and computer games. Now- a- days almost every field uses some form of application software.
Computer Software has to be loaded into the computer’s storage system like the hard drive, RAM or the memory. The computer is able to execute the software only when it is loaded. Computers operate by executing the programs. There are numerous software manufacturers providing the software. Some of the well known brands include Microsoft, Adobe, Eurotalk, Symantec, Global software publishing etc. The software made by these brands is available on the net at competitive prices.
