Programing

Posted on by

This week we went over how games, cgi, and other applications are made. By using C++ or other languages you can create just about anything on a computer. using scratch shows all of the things that have to go into just one program and that can take a little bit to make and more time to make it perfect. To be able to work with the other programs and have it be controled by each key. I think i want to be a programer and not a repair man. I just found it more intesting than fixing a computer.

This is what i want to be when i grow up…..for now.

This week talked about data bases and what they do. The hold the info for the companies, and holds mountains of data of customers, employs, and deals made with other companies. We also learned how to post stuff in the servers, and how to talk to the servers and make tables or put them together. Another thing we did that wasn’t really new was how the internet can be controlled and how it can change how our lives can change if the wrong sum bag gets his/hers fingers on the kill switch and how fast they can make us believe just about anything through filters.

Built Computer and Friends

Posted on by

This week we had to spec our computer from parts we wanted and price them. The other part is the facts in class. For the other stuff it would have to be what we have learnt in class. Memory is the key for this week in how it works for the user and computer. I have an idea for a primary memory each side that it is divided would have ram on the side about a 2GB double sidede that would weed out all the information till it found the right information. I would have to be a SSD and maybe it would not need it but i thought i would share this idea.  For the computer

Week 2

Posted on by

This week in class we went over binary. Base 10 base 2 so on so forth. Binary is the raw data that computers use to communicate with us. We take these characters and either break them down or add them together to to figure out what they are. The other things that we went over were the shows. The facts that showed most teenagers are so wrapped up in the virtual that they forget how the real world acts towards each other. There are problems with the Internet having no repercussions for actions, but on the other hand its a great place to connect with anyone across the world. There must be common respect over the internet so that people wont be hurt, but also people must be ignore the stupid troll that prowl the internet for someone to attack.

First Thoughts for the class

Posted on by

As this being my first blog entry on the class, this entry will be a little bland. To start my name is Joshua Newport, im 18 years old and I love computers. Gamming, editting, building, creating, I love it all. As of my intrest in this class?  I am all in, very exciting to be learning all this again. I had taken a computer class in high school but havent really touched it in a few years. The thoughts of learning the history of the comp is a little boring at first but if you pay attention to their detail and how they paved the path to computer we can see that its quite usefull. Not everything in this class I will use but it will still be nice to have this information in my back pocket for a good communitcation buffer. Lets see where all this ends up.
