Computer sounds like fun if you are the one doing all the hacking, but it also is some times scary in which somebody hacks into your computer without you knowing something happened. With just a click of a button people can have all of your personal information, even your credit/ debit card number. Depending on what the intentions of user is doing can create a world of problem for you or the people around you. Hacking started out as a good thing and entertainment for others, but as always too much of a good thing, always goes down the tubes or bad. Some hackers have been known some of the most dangerous people in America or the world. Most people do it to mess with other people not intentional hurt others, though.

When I first started to learn how to write in HTML, I will be completely honest and say that i was lost as can be. I thought to myself this is something that I could never learn, but that didn’t stop me. After a while, I kinda figured it out. Then a couple more hours went by and I figured it out enough to be comfortable in the basic stuff. I’m still trying to learn more stuff. some thing that kinda troubles me to knowing the the certain tags that you need to know, to do certain things. Sometimes when I’m writing a lot code, it sometimes all gets all meshed together in my mind and I get confused in what I am trying to achieve and it doesn’t do what I want it to do. then I have to go back and see what I to make the corrections. But its all an learning experience and a work in progress.

For the most part the Assembly Language Simulator assignment has been rather tricky for me to understand, but I think that I got the idea of it now. It’s basically putting information into machine code (binary). and putting it into a RAM address, and executing the steps that you want the computer to do. this whole assignment is suppose to show what goes on inside the computer that people normally does not see, or what programmers do to make software. The part that gets pretty tricky for me is when the computer is doin all the steps that it is told to and how to read what the computer is actually doing. other than that the semiester is goin quite well for me this spring. all the concepts that we have have gone over have been pretty easy to understand and comprehend for me.

First thing that I would choose to make my computer would be the case for all the hardware that I need to put together.

Rosewill BLACKHAWK Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, come with Five Fans, window side panel, top HDD dock

The reason that I would choose this case is because it looks cool, it comes with five fans for all the gaming that I would do, and it is suitable for the motherboard that I want, too. Plus, it is not that expensive compared to other cases.

ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

This would be the motherboard that I would want, because the chipset is set up the way i would want my personal computer to be like and it looks cool. Also it comes with its own CPU and with 32GB of memory, and it is suitable for the online gaming that I do in my spare time when I’m not with friends.

Rosewill LIGHTNING Series LIGHTNING-1000 1000W Continuous @50°C,80 PLUS GOLD Certified,Pipe-rock Modular Design,Single +12V Rail,ATX12V v2.3/EPS12V v2.92,SLI Ready,CrossFire Ready,Active- PFC ,Fan LED color switch Power Supply

This is the power supply that I would use. First off it just looks cool, and second it supplies enough power for the whole computer.

Logitech MK550 Black USB RF Wireless Ergonomic Wave Combo

The keyboard would be comfortable, and comes with a pretty cool looking mouse. Plus, the keyboard and the mouse are wireless so I can move freely, and lean back and relax while on the computer.

ASUS VS248H-P Black 24″ 2ms HDMI LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 ASCR 50,000,000:1

The monitor will have a crystal clear picture so that i can see everything, so when I get old I can still see everything without having to put on reading glasses.

Western Digital Caviar Black WD1502FAEX 1.5TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5″ Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

This is the hard drive for the computer is because it is a fast hard drive and it has a lot of memory for caching.

Logitech Z906 500W 5.1 Speakers

The speakers will be for all the music that I play and I need the surround sound.

Some thing that I found interesting this week was that everything that you see on a computer is made up of numbers, like the matrix.The computer has its own language called Binary. Everything that you see is either in “1″ or “0″. People can write each other messages to each other in numbers or symbols. Binary also came from the idea of Morris code. Even in pictures and sound are made up of numbers that the computer reads.

Also, I learned that all information is stored in switches inside the computer. The symbol “1″ is represented as a closed switch, and “0″ is represented as an open switch. These switches give off electricity to the CPU, then in return the CPU put the information on the monitor of your screen.

My name is Tucker Jackson. I am from Knoxville, TN. I have lived here my entire life. I went to Bearden High School. I like to play basketball, hangout with friends, go out on the lake, play video games, and some other things that don’t come to my head right now. My favorite basketball player is Lebron James, and i do not care what other people think of him. My relationship with computers is kind of brief, but I want to know more about them. I feel as if the world revolves around technology and computers sometimes. Everywhere I go, I can’t go outside without seeing some sort of technology. Sometimes i feel lost in what computers bring, thus making me want to know more.

Here are some websites that I participate in…..
