Introduction
Information system is the most popular technology in the past two decades, but I have decided to get into the field is not because of the popularity. I have chosen network analyst as my future path because my mom used to restrict my internet usage. The reason sounds unique but that is why I initiate my interest on this “forbidden thing”. However, I never learn anything about it until I took a class in my high school, call Network Administration.
