Part 2 Midterm

What is Watson? Why is it so much harder for a computer to compete on jeopardy than to play chess? Do you think this is good thing? Will computers like this help or hurt people? What problems can computers solve? Are computers going to take away more jobs? Will computers eventually take over the world? What do you think?


Watson is a computer of IBM in which it has power 7 processors. It is very different, Watson understands the questions of Jeopardy. The questions of Jeopardy consist thinking, being confident and different. That's what Watson is about. It's hard for a computer to compete on Jeopardy than to play games, the computer will get confused of the meaning of the words and get the question wrong.
Yes, I think this is a good, computers are very smart. But us as humans need to be smart as well. I think this will help people because in health care natural languages are very important. That is exactly what Watson does. Computers can solve questions that has to do with different ways words are used and being different.
Computers are going to take over more jobs because it can do a better job than humans, which is processing a way a word is used. It can run many problems at once to find out how to process the language. I think that computers are going to take over the world because they are very smart and fast. They're working on stuff to make technology greater each day. People depend on computers in an every day life and if it has a brain of its own it can take over our life.

What is you accomplished in this class so far? What are you going to do differently in this class now that you have the chance?

Martin Luther Kings Jr. had a dream ("I Have a Dream"). What is your dream for the future? What are you doing to ensure you accomplish your dreams?

Martin Luther Kings Jr. had a dream ("I Have a Dream"). I dream to become a better person, and be a successful actress. I'm keeping myself determine to ensure I accomplish my dreams, I think that anyone can do what they dream if they put there mind to it and stay determine.

Do you think that smart phones will become a digital wallet? How does the author say this will be accomplished? What is so important about near-field communication? What will NFC enable people to use their cellphones to do? What do you think are the advantages and the disadvantages of NFC technology? How do you think people will feel about using this technology?

Yes, I think cell phones will replace wallets because of the huge impact of communication technology has become. I'm sure that's going to work because the author says that it will be able to make payments at a cash register, scan computer chips inside ads and posters for discounts and product info, and eventually incorporate driver's licenses and other forms of ID. So that means they won't be no need for wallets anymore because wallets were created to hold money, but the phone is going to be able to make payments. It's also created to hold IDs and drivers licenses, but the phone is going to be able to do that to. It's just like the digital wallet.

Near-field communication technology is so important because the phone is going to be able to call, text, get a coupon and be a digital wallet, which is going to be cool. I can't wait for it to come out, I'm sure it's going to replace wallets. Plus you can lose stuff in your wallet but as for the digital wallet there's no losing anything except your no good for nothing wallet. NFC will enable people to use their cellphones to scan something they want to buy, get a coupon for it and you just bring it to the NFC register for the discount.


The disadvantages about the NFC technology is that if you lose your cell phone someone can use your pone and buy stuff off your credit or debit card. But then there's a good side to it, you don't need a wallet anymore and it gives a coupon if there is on your phone for you to use. I think there are going to be a lot of people that are going to love this new technology but then there's those people that always look on the bad side of thing and don't appreciate it.

lesson 5: programs-simple gates

What is computer programming? How do bits and bytes allow computers to understand instructions? How do NOT Gates, AND Gates, and OR Gates work?


Computer programing is instructions that tells the computer how to perform a specific task. This computer program tells the computer how to do something. you can download programs like: games and videos e.t.c or word processing such as Microsoft word or power point.


Bytes and bits both have network address or many numbers to represent the address. And gate is a logical conjunction which a two-place logical connective that has the value true if both of its operands are true, otherwise a value of false. Not gate takes one bit as an input and produces as an output, Or gate is when the output is at it's high.

What is the purpose of an operating system? Write a paragraph.

The purpose of the operating system is so that Most desktop or laptop PCs come pre-loaded with Microsoft Windows. Macintosh computers come pre-loaded with Mac OS X. Many corporate servers use the Linux or UNIX operating systems. The operating system is the first thing loaded onto the computer,without the operating system, a computer is useless.

What does an Operating System allow a computer to do? Write a paragraph.


An operating system allows the computer to make changes to the computer if necessary.For a desktop computer user, this means you can add a new security update, system patch, new application or even an entirely new operating system rather than junk your computer and start again with a new one when you need to make a change. As long as you understand how an operating system works and how to get at it, in many cases you can change some of the ways it behaves. The same thing goes for your phone, too.

How do you record the Timing on Keynote?

The most elegance, well-built application suitable for transforming ordinary slides into extraordinary presentation - maybe sounds unfamiliar to Windows users' ears. In most case, it's due to the fact that Keynote has its own extension; The slides and effects created in Keynote can be opened only with Keynote. However, Keynote is quite popular among Mac users; Perhaps, Steve Jobs also used Keynote for his presentations. But, as I've experienced, presentations and/or movie effects made on Keynote can surely wow your friends who own only Windows.
