Midterm Essay

How do you think computers will most change life in the next decade?

Throghout the next decade, computers will probably be part of normal life.You can already see very cheap computers around and anyone who doesn't have a computer doesn't because of price because it sure is cheap.Currently there's a lot of hints that within 10 years everbody will have a computer and it will be used everyday.These hints are computers are used in all businesses, a lot of services are performed through the internet, and computers are becoming more user friendly so that anyone can use them with ease.

First off, now a days computers are used in ALL businesses, there is no exception, all businesses have at least 1 computer for different tasks.In the future this will be like a requirement for all businesses because of the different tasks it can easily do such as email or calculate profit and a lot of other things.Businesses without email are currently closing a lot of door since its a good way for its customer to contact them on closed hours.Secondly, a lot of services and new businesses are born on computers mostly in the internet.Companies such as Myspace and YouTube make a lot of money on their free webpages just by having adverts in there and providing a good service people are attracted to.Not only are computers helping businesses but they are helping to create them.At last, each time computers are becoming more user friendly so people who are not too smart with them can use them too.This shows how computers are on their way to become a part of daily human life.Software programmers know that user friendly programs will attract all kinds of people.Those who know a lot and those who don't so they make their program as easy to use as they can while still maintaning quality and functionality.


In conclusion, in a decade or even less computers will change lives and will become part of normal human life.In the future people wont be able to live without computers sometimes we will rely too much on them.Currently computers are a big part of life but not as big as it will be in the future where everbody will have one and wont be able to be with none.I think within 10 years everbody will be carrying a laptop around...Including to school to type in classes and less mess than it is with what we do today(binders).I am extremely sure it will change life in a significant way because they will be used in all businesses,a lot of services are created through them, and user friendly software makes it easier for people who dont have a lot of computer knowledge.

Idea for video

A good idea for a class video would be that we record different stuff we do at class.I think a good idea is to show off some of the programs different students have made & also show the fun aspect of the classes.There could be footage of people playing Line Rider and listening to music while doing work so new students can know the class is going to be fun.Its just a tactic to not scare people who get bored easily.There's 3 basic things this video would have to include to be sucessful and popular with students 1.Fun stuff,2.Interesting stuff, and 3.Good students.


First, We would need fun & interesting stuff.A video showing the fun stuff we sometimes do at class like do line rider tracks & such would make people be interested in joining.We could show interesting things that you could do with programming or technology in the class that the average person would like.We could record a program that people may use every day and they didn't know they could make it themselves.

Second and last, We would need to show good students in the video.Most students dont want to join a class that is not organized and most of them dont admit it but it is true.We can show our students in a good behavior but with a good mood & good humor to show people how fun it is.And so with this bait people shall come to our class!

PS:We hot chicks to join, any idea to make them join?

This article is about a program paltalk used for social networking with audio and video.Paltalk wants to make it easier to have audio and video between a group of people...They believe text is lacking something and audio is plain alone.They know people want to interact online in more ways.Some people say voice is ok and most computers have integrated microphones but no webcams so it will prevail.While the other person says humans like to hear sound and see motions and stuff so Paltalk will do good.Paltalk began as an instant messager in 1998.They started making profit in 2001.

This article talks about Universal suing MySpace because of copyright infrightment.They claim myspace doesn't care or "looks the other way" while users are uploading copyring infrighting videos.They also claim MySpace aids people in moving them around by reformatting them making it easy to pass to friends & post on other sites.They are saying myspace is just making it easy for the usual "pirate".Universal and MySpace had been negotiating weeks before it was filed but they wouldn't come to an agreement.Universal went ahead and filed it and MySpace released a new copyright protection thingy the same day!Myspace says they just provide promotion to records and stuff but they protect their copyrights too.

Adobe may sue microsoft.They are claiming microsoft is trying to shut out rivals.They are not.They are just competing.Adobe is scared of competition.Obviously there's gonna be more than 1 software maker making a specific kind of software.Adobe only reason to sue is because they have fixed documents like PDF adobe documents.This is just stupid.Fixed document are an obvious feature that should be included in any writing software and i bet its being included into words...Adobe is stupid.xD

A wiki is a webpage that allows visitors to be able to edit the information in it without actually having to register.It doesn’t require for the user to know HTML.Wikipedia is an accurate professional encyclopedia because no matter what you do your never going to find a source of information without bias.It is just impossible.Even in its smallest trace there is bias in any encyclopedia.There is no way for a human to compile an encyclopedia without supporting one side or the other.In wikipedia users may come and both sides of the information may be presented, however some less decent users delete the side they don’t support and just add theirs.For the most part wikipedia has a lot of information to offer and most of it is right.Most users are honest and some just want to contribute and speak their hearts out by creating new wiki topics and other things.How can a person tell if a person is bias without he himself being bias?In my opinion, its not possible.I just think people should just appreciate wikipedia because it really helps students and teachers gather information.In wikipedia you can lookup anything about anything because people make pages on things other people are interesting in.People may claim wikipedia has a lot of biased information but any other encyclopedia may be too.How do they know it is biased?how do they know the other source isn’t the one that is biased?Wikipedia is just a great free web service and it may not be the most accurate some times but it lets people express their side,opinion, and ideas.Whoever complains about wikipedia is just whining with no reason because it is not doing harm just helping a lot of people when looking for information about anything.I think in the future wikipedia will be to encyclopedias what google is to search engines.

Solar energy thingy

google is thinking of using solar energy to provide electricity to their compound.They say it may cost a lot but at the end it will pay itself.It will provide 30% of theelectricity for the mllion square foot compound.Google says this will also attract engineers who want to diminish the damage it does to the atmosphere.The power of the system could power 1,200 californian homes.This is a great idea not only for google but for other companies as well...Google may start a trend with this.

binary stuff

A binary number can be represented by any sequence of bits (binary digits), which in turn may be represented by any mechanism capable of being in two mutually exclusive states. The following sequences of symbols could all be interpreted as the same binary numeric value:

1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0
| - | - - | | - | -
x o x o o x x o x o
y n y n n y y n y n

A binary clock might use LEDs to express binary values. In this clock, each column of LEDs shows a binary-coded decimal numeral of the traditional sexagesimal time.The numeric value represented in each case is dependent upon the value assigned to each symbol. In a computer, the numeric values may be represented by two different voltages; on a magnetic disk, magnetic polarities may be used. A "positive", "yes", or "on" state is not necessarily equivalent to the numerical value of one; it depends on the architecture in use.

In keeping with customary representation of numerals using Arabic numerals, binary numbers are commonly written using the symbols 0 and 1. When written, binary numerals are often subscripted, prefixed or suffixed in order to indicate their base, or radix. The following notations are equivalent:

100101 binary (explicit statement of format)
100101b (a suffix indicating binary format)
100101B (a suffix indicating binary format)
bin 100101 (a prefix indicating binary format)
1001012 (a subscript indicating base-2 (binary) notation)
%100101 (a prefix indicating binary format)
0b100101 (a prefix indicating binary format, common in programming languages)
When spoken, binary numerals are usually pronounced by pronouncing each individual digit, in order to distinguish them from decimal numbers. For example, the binary numeral "100" is pronounced "one zero zero", rather than "one hundred", to make its binary nature explicit, and for purposes of correctness. Since the binary numeral "100" is equal to the decimal value four, it would be confusing, and numerically incorrect, to refer to the numeral as "one hundred

router stuff

1. What is a packet?PAckets are small packs of data.
2. What is a configuration table?A collection of information with Information on which connections lead to particular groups of addresses.Priorities for connections to be used.Rules for handling both routine and special cases of traffic
3. What are the two jobs of a router?The router ensures that information doesn't go where it's not needed. This is crucial for keeping large volumes of data from clogging the connections of "innocent bystanders.".The router makes sure that information does make it to the intended destination.
4. Under “Transmitting Packets” what different routes (e.g. copper wiring) may information take?copper cables, switches, fiber optics, microwaves and satellites.
5. The largest routers used to handle data at the major traffic points on the Internet are most like large stand-alone systems rather than office routers.
6. Routing Packets: What is a subnet mask?This tells the router that all messages with the sender and receiver having an address sharing the first three groups of numbers are on the same network, and shouldn't be sent out to another network.
7. What is a logical address? it describes a way someone can get a message to you.

My opinion on online gambling

My opinion in online gambling is that its cool.Sometimes you get free money without you not even giving anything.For example my brother got 1200 free he dind't pay nothing he just entered a tournament with the free money he was given and he won.If people are addicted they should just lose their money for being stupid.It's their money they should do what they want with it.Goverment shoudln't interfere with gambling and the people should be able to do whatever they want to with their money.If im gonna be limited on how to use my money why would i want money and is it really mine?

PS:New Yorker is for fancy/rich people, it sucks, the author has very deep thoughts that suck cause they make no sense.
