NETWORK SOFTWARE
A Computer netwok is a group of computers and other devices connected together by a suitable
media. The computer networks have evolved from simple linking of computers on a common
transmission media to highly managed and optimized data and information transfer systems. This
means that apart from data comunications, the focus is now squarely on how best to utilize network
resources.
C
O
Network software can be classified into two main groups namely: M
1. Network operating systems M
U
2. Network protocol N
I
C
Advantages of computer Networks A
T
I
➢ Multiple users can communicate, exchange and share information O
➢ Resource sharing including program, data base, hardware etc. is possible
N
By definition comunications refers to the transfer of information from one place to another between two
individuals using agreed symbols, signs or even human behavior such as nodding. Exchange of information
relies on a communication system to convert, amplify and send signal through a common medium. Message,
Sender, Medium and Receiver are the essential components of communication systems.
In case communication involves the sending of information over a significant distance, it must use
telecommunications as an aid. By definition, telecommunications refers to the transmission of information
between distant locations by some electromagnetic means.

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow
Substance Abuse has emerged in recent decades as a major concern both on and off the job.
Although reasons vary, substance abuse can be a way that some people try to manage or reduce
distress.
But it is important to be clear on what is generally meant by a drinking problem. In all cases
related to alcohol abuse, a common factor is the unfavorable effect alcohol has on the health or
well-being of the drinker and his or her associates. Common signs and symptoms that frequently
indicate a drinking problem include being constantly absent from work, causing on-the-job
accidents and expressing grievances most of the time.
Alcoholic employees can sometimes go undetected for years. Coworkers cover up for those
unable to perform their jobs because of drunkenness. Even managers may be adept at concealing
their alcohol abuse problems. Their secretaries or loyal associates may cover up for them.
Alcoholics can be clever at inventing “credible” excuses when detected: “I must have a drink or
two when I’m entertaining customers, of course.”
Drug abuse, or drug addiction, exists when the taking of drugs, whether prescribed or non-
prescribed, legal or illegal, causes difficulties in any area of an individual’s life. Years ago, the
stereotype of the drug user was either of a glazed-eyed musician frantically beating his sticks on
a tight skin or a person who dwelt in a slum. Mass publicity on drug abuse has long since caused
that stereotype to fade from view.
Complicating the ongoing war on drugs are changes in public attitude and drug-use patterns. It
sometimes seems that no sooner is progress made in combating one illegal drug than a different
kind of substance abuse comes into vogue. Ethyl alcohol was the social drug during prohibition
(1920-1933), marijuana became the social drug of the 1960s and 1970s and some observers
believe that crack cocaine and possibly ecstasy – another so-called upper – became the social
drugs of the 1980s and 1990s. The drug of choice and people’s attitude toward them may change,
but the problem of drug abuse appears to be continuing unabated.
Pinpointing the specific symptom of alcohol and drug abuse problems is not a simple task. A
supervisor’s main responsibility therefore should not necessarily be uncovering evidence of
dependency on alcohol and drugs but instead being observant for declining job performance.
Yet there are certain behavioral patterns that some excessive users of alcohol and drugs display.
These patterns can sometimes be spotted through simple observation. Increasingly though,
employers are taking more aggressive steps to ferret out substance abuse among their
workforces. A growing number of companies, especially large ones with many employees and
those in business with potential to effect public health or safety, are adopting drug-testing
programmes.
The signs of alcohol dependency, unfortunately, do not always become manifest until the middle
of the late stages of the problem. No wonder some managers have mistaken an employee’s
euphoric appearance for the “look of love”. The earlier treatment begins, naturally, the earlier
treatment begins, naturally, the easier it will be. A person could experience some isolated
incidents of such drinking problems without necessarily being a alcoholic, however, alcohol
abuse usually results in declining job performance.

JUMLA 80
Miaka michache iliyopita, kila aliyekuwa amesoma alikuwa na bahati ya kupata kazi katika
ofisi za humu nchini. Wote waliofika darasa la saba au pengine kidato cha pili na zaidi wale
waliofuzu mtihani wa kidato cha nne, walinyakuliwa juu kwa juu na wizara mbalimbali za
serikali au pengine waliandikwa kazi na makampuni. Kwa vile kila mmoja wao alipata kazi
ya kuajiriwa, hakuna aliyejishugulisha na kazi za mtu binafsi kama useremala, uashi, ukulima,
uvuvi na kadhalika – kazi kama hizo ziliachiwa wale tu ambao hawakupata fursa ya kuenda
shule.
Siku hizi mambo yamebadilika. Licha ya kuwa na elimu ya darasa la saba au kidato cha pili
na pengine cha nne, hata wale wenye shahada za vyuo vikuu nao pia wamezifungia shahada
hizo mashubakani zikiota ukungu huku wenyewe wakijipurukusha kulima au kufuga; na wale
ambao bado hawajakata shauri kama hili, wako barabarani wakipiga lami.
Wakoloni walifanya kosa moja kubwa sana ambalo tumeligundua tu baada ya kunyakua uhuru
wetu. Kosa lenyewe ni lile la kuwafanya wananchi waliopata elimu wasipende kushika kazi
zinazochafua mikono. Walijua tu kwamba mashamba yao na hata mitambo yao ingalifilisiwa
na ile ya waafrika; kwa hivyo ingaliwabidi hata wao waje wawatumikie wenyeji. Ndipo
walipokata shauri kutowaamsha waliolala ili wasije wakalala wao.
Katika karne hii, wataalamu wameshawishika kuitumia elimu yao kufanya kazi za mashamba,
ujenzi na ufundi wa mitambo. Ijapokuwa baada ya kazi kama hizo mikono huwa imejaa tope
au masizi, pato lake ni kubwa ajabu, jambo la kuvutia zaidi katika makazi kama haya ni
kwamba mwananchi huwa ni ‘bwana’ mwenyewe, hujitegemea mwenyewe bila kochokocho.
Kila moja wetu anaelewa kinaganaga kwamba kazi kama ya ukulima huleta donge kubwa zaidi
ya kazi zote; kwani kila mfanyikazi humwelekea mkulima baada ya kumaliza kazi yake.
Mkulima naye hutoa jasho jingi wakati wa kulima shamba. Baadaye atapekua magugu na
visiki aviweke katika matita ili aviteketeze moto. Baada ya muda kidogo atapanda na angoje
hadi mbegu zake zianze kuchipuza. Mara maua huchanua na mazao kujionyesha. Baada ya
kuvuna, kazi yake kubwa huwa ni kuanika na kuanua nafaka zake. Wakati huo, mazao yake
huwa yatanga mara yuapanga mara yuapangua mipango juu ya uuzaji. Mazao yafikapo
nyumbani, pengine mkulima huipamba nyumba yake na akawaita marafiki zake ili awakirimu
kwa vyakula na vinywaji. Karamu ikiisha hana budi kupambua mapambo yote. Huyoo, aenda
kuuza bidhaa zake; akirudi yuakaa raha mstarehe akila na kuburudika pamoja na familia yake.
Je kuna kazi yenye raha zaidi ya ukulima?
Watu wengi hufikiria maana ya neno ‘kulima’ ni kushika jembe tu. Hiyo si kweli kwani kuna
ukulima namna nyingi, kama vile ufugaji wa ng’ombe, mbuzi au kuku. Hata ufugaji wa samaki
au utunzaji wa nyuki pia waweza kuitwa ukulima. Dhamira ya taifa letu changa ni kuwapatia
mwangaza wananchi wake waliomo mashuleni, kwamba wangojewa kwa hamu wajiunge na
wenzao katika kulijenga taifa lenye nguvu, ili katika kujisaidia wenyewe pia waongeze pishi
