Post # 4

Chapter 4 discusses the hardware used by educators. there is Audio input which records music speech, or sound effects. video input is the process of entering full motion recordings into the computer, this can be done by plugging your vcr or video camera into your computer. putput devices are any computer component capable of conveying information to the user.

In this chapter i learned all about the parts and functions of computers. i also learned that bits are the smallest unit of data the computer can handle, while bytes are a group of 8 bits. I also learned that when refering to data it is the unorganized facts that once organized become information.

well my computer crashed last night and i remember now why i hate technology. As cool and as useful as the programs are in the world today they are simply unreliabe. i lost all of my old papers and projects as well as the one i was working on. GIVE ME A PAPER AND PENCIL PLEASE!

Unfortunately, it's not so much that the programs are unreliable; it's usually Windows that messes up. Maybe it's time to buy a mac!

Sorry about your crash. Sometimes it happens, but if you know a good techie, just get them to fix it at least enough to get your data back. Most of the time it's possible, unless the hard drive dies.

I really feel your pain with your computer crashing Ms. Jane. Same thing happened to me last year and I had to end up buying a new computer!

I am sorry to hear about your computer crashing. This actually happened to me once and it took me about one week to get my personal address book together.
