Filtering: Keeping the Bad Out and the Good In
It seems that in recent years, the computer is no longer a computing device, but rather a communications device. Technologies such as Instant Messaging, Social Networking Sites and widespread e-mail usage have contributed tremendously to this trend. With communication, comes openness and with openness comes vulnerability. And we all know what happens to a vulnerable computer.
Join the Data Doctors as they discuss general rules and procedures for filtering when computer, or, how to keep the good in, and the bad out.

Boolean: is a term used to describe the areas of mathematics and computing that deal strictly with True and False values. Because computers are built on a binary system (only 1s and 0s), boolean logic translates well. The term was coined in honor of George Boole (1815-1864) who invented Boolean Algebra, the basis for all modern computer arithmetic. Many consider him a founder of Computer Science, even though the computer did not appear until after his death.
