Executive Summary 

Whilst reading through this report you will learn all about the world of word processing 

and I hope you truly understand it by the end. Throughout this report you will learn how to do 

things with word processing, about the cloud, and even a little bit about me. The world of word 

processing is a vast one and there is a lot to learn, so get comfortable, grab a snack and get 

reading! 

About Me 

My name is Zain Mahmood. I was born in Toronto, Ontario on June 24th 2005 but 

currently reside in Mississauga. I am currently staying at the Athletic Institute, where they send 

us to attend school here at ODSS. I got the gracious opportunity to go to AI and am planning 

on working hard to become the best basketball player I can be. I chose BTT because I feel that 

it can benefit my knowledge on how to further use technology. With the world rapidly evolving 

at an abundant rate technologically, BTT for me is a way to stay caught up on how to use 

different programs such as Microsoft excel, word and powerpoint. I also want to better my 

knowledge on the many different uses of the internet's resources and how I can use them to 

benefit myself in the long run. I plan on having a great year, striving to be the greatest I can be 

in this course and willing to work hard for positive results. I am willing enough to engage in 

class lessons, and provide help to struggling classmates who look like they need a hand. At the 

end of the day, I plan on achieving my best in this class and hope to have a great semester.

My Word Processing Skills 

Word processing is an efficient way to communicate your data and is useful for many 

different reasons. I find that I have a good understanding of how to use word processing 

efficiently and possess many skills to use it efficiently. I feel I have a good understanding in my 

use of tables and how to create them. This is demonstrated in my Tables assignment where I 

discovered how to use tables and personalize them to my taste. I also learnt how to efficiently 

write a Business letter. In my Business letter I demonstrated my understanding of how to 

create and format my letter, and got my point off well. These skills will help me out in life and it 

is good I learnt them. Knowing how to write a business letter is useful to me because they ​are 

used for professional correspondence between individuals and knowing how to be professional 

in a letter would make me look good whether it is for a job review or requesting something from 

someone. I could use a business letter in english class as a different kind of structure to my 

paragraphs or to request something from my teacher. Understanding how to use tables is a 

useful life skill that can be important while working on computers. Tables are a great way to 

display information as when done right they are easy to understand and organized. I can use 

tables in math class to organize data I had collected in a survey. Word processing is an 

efficient​ way to communicate your data as I mentioned earlier. Word processing is also a good 

way to stay organized with things like designing and filing folders.

Cloud Computing 

Cloud computing could be the way of the future when it is perfected. Cloud Computing 

is an efficient way to save space on your hard drive by dispatching information to an off site 

server. ​The notion of network-based computing dates to the 1960s, but many believe the first 

use of “cloud computing” in its modern context occurred on August 9, 2006, when then 

Google CEO Eric Schmidt introduced the term to an industry conference. The cloud has been 

around a long time and the perfection of it could lead to a thriving technological future 

I feel that cloud computing is something necessary for the future of technology to 

advance. Technology can only indear so much data and the fact is we need to get on the cloud 

to advance tech. I believe that the cloud is necessary to technological development so that we 

have more space in our tech for stronger hard drives, graphics etc. Using the cloud will save 

our information and files all in one secure location, as a back up or even just a main source to 

dispatch your data. The cloud also heavily benefits larger companies that need the space to 

store their data. They can also store all their information on one server which is good for the 

company as they can access all their data in one place. 

Although it does sound like a good solution to store data, the possibility of hacking and 

corruption are highly possible and have happened in today's society to many different 

companies. Hacking on the cloud is a very real problem and from 2014-2017, Chinese hackers 

hacked into 8 major technology firms in elaborate ‘Cloud Hopper’ attack, proving how 

accessible and breachable the cloud system really is. The Cloud should be a secure and safe 
 Mahmood 5

place to store my information and shouldn’t be easily accessible to hacking groups and 

viruses. 

At the end of the day I feel that the cloud system is a gateway into the future for 

technology, and when we learn how to make it perfect and unhackable, technology and data 

storage will thrive. Although perfection is not as easy as it sounds and may be difficult to 

accomplish, once we achieve it, technological data storage will become the way of the future 

used by all. 

Description of Sample Documents 

Appendix 1 ​is a business letter written for a parent/guardian for the purpose of 

asking/demanding something from them. In my business letter I demonstrate the skills and 

knowledge to make a solid business letter such as: 

- Proper formatting 

- Being appropriately demanding 

- Providing understandable reasoning 

- Including a polite introduction 

I feel that a business letter is a positive way to request a demand. I think this because it is a 

formal and direct way to ask somebody something or for something as when done properly 

they are persuasive and make sense when it comes to the reasoning. 

Appendix 2​ is a table that reflects my time table of my first semester at ODSS. To create 

Appendix 2 I had to demonstrate my skills in table making by doing things such as: 
 Mahmood 6

- Merging cells 

- Colouring and highlighting different cells to emphasize their purpose 

- Understanding the needed amount of dimensions 

- Understand how to organize a table. 

I feel when it comes to the organization of data, tables are an accurate way to display data 

when done properly, as they are easy to understand and make. 

Appendix 3 ​is a document formatted using tabs to display information, in my case my favourite 

basketball players. To create this document using tabs, I had to display my skills of word 

processing by: 

- Understanding how to space out my information with the tab key 

- Making sure it makes sense and is organized 

- Providing relevant information 

- Understanding what the tab key does 

The tabs chart that I had created is a useful way to display information, but I feel creating a 

table is more efficient. Tables remove the need of having to perfectly space out information by 

spamming the tab key until it lines up just right, as well as display information in a more 

understandable way.

Conclusion 

To conclude my report, word processing is an important part of technology, and 

understanding how to use them is important if you want to get in to a job that includes 

technology. To truly understand word processing, there are some important things you can 

pick up from this report. One thing you should pick up is the importance of word processing 

and the true usefulness of it. Another important thing is to understand how to use, and the 

importance of the cloud. The last thing I will recommend you pick up are the three different 

elements of word processing I provided in the form of the three appendices. They are an 

important use of word processing and all who are interested in computing should understand 

how to use them.

Dear Mr. Mahmood, 
 
I hope you and your family are doing well and you are having an excellent day. I am sending 
you this letter to persuade you to purchase the newest copy of the videogame NBA 2K20 for 
me. I would be greatly thankful and would owe a great debt to you. The list of reasons I want 
this new game is endless and I hope I can convince you to purchase me a copy. 
 
I feel that you should purchase me this game for multiple reasons. One of the reasons is that 
when I return home on weekends, I seem to be aimless and lack things to do. If you were to 
purchase the game for me I would be able to occupy myself and stay home in my room instead 
of on the streets and getting into trouble, something I'm sure you would not want. Another 
reason you should purchase the game for me is that I do not demand much when it comes to 
gaming, and this is just about the only game I purchase every year. Lastly, you should 
purchase me this game because it is not only age appropriate, but screams out who I am as a 
basketball player. Being a basketball player is not a hobby, but a lifestyle, and a key part of that 
lifestyle is having the newest 2K and asserting dominance by winning game after game. 
 
I hope I have provided sufficient reasoning as to why you should purchase me the newest copy 
of NBA 2K20. It would truly mean a lot to me if you come to the decision to purchase it for me. 
I thank you for providing me with your time and reading through my letter and hope your 
decision is the one I am hoping for. 
 
Sincerely, 
Your Son
