What is a computer? A computer is a function of something that gives you many
sources to reach out to. A computer could help you in your future; computers are
what help us get a better life not only to yourself but to others as well. Stores
information to a document you wish to save into a file. Four functions are input
process output storage. Computers are also used for using codes, many people use
codes without knowing themselves.
How many computers are in this room? 42 computers (many computers)
How have you use computers today and what type of computer where they? I have
used computers in doing my homework, going on social media sites, and playing
games. I have you dell computers and mac but mostly dell computers they most.
How much do I know about using a computer to solve a problem? I use a computer
to help me solve my problems in different ways. Like the computer I use it for the
internet and the internet either helps me contact my teachers in case I need help or
the computers internet by google. I find google really handy like I could google how
to write a proper essay and it explains to me how to step by step. These are the few
ways I use computers to help me solve my problems. But at the same time and cant
only always relay on computers to help me solve my own problems I have to learn
to be independent to solve my own problems.

Four functions of a computer?
1.
2.
3.
4.

Input
Output
Process
Information

Is a washer machine a function based on the four function of the computer?

1. Yes it is because it has a input and output and it progresses how you want
your clothes wash but it doesnt store information so it is ideal to
progressing in the four functions of the computer.

For my virtual foot print would be using Facebook, snap chat, amazon, and
Instagram I dont see either negative or positive about this its kind of both because
there are no positive things that my things are save and no negative that I cant
post or do anything I do try and keep my things on private but on some sites or
apps I dont know how to put private so end up with non-private sites or apps.but I
dont try to post or anything too much to make sure not to attack attention to
hackers or anything. Cause if you were to put on a photo of you holding a bunch of
money then youre pretty much asking to get robbed
What type of information have you got involved in your footprint? I would say that
after I saw what kind of footprint I have put in either my computer or my mobile
device is that I should be more careful In what I do I should be more careful in what
personal information or anything like that in my social network.
What does that information say about you? I should always make sure to clear my
history because one could clearly see my Gmail where they can see my contacts
and get my personal information and find out what school I go to. Even though I get
on many networks such as amazon where they can get my home address and see
my debit card numbers and stuff like that. Some other is for example snap chat,
Facebook, Instagram, and watt pad. All this information is kind of out in the open for
anyone willing to do me harm. I should be more caution in what information I put.

JOURNAL #4
My computer is a tool in it helps me do make work and a tool is most likely some
type of object that helps you with your work or anything.in my way my computer
will help me write my essays or do my math homework this is my tool to education.
Why it is a tool? It is a tool because how I said it helps me out in a great way in not
only my education but in many things.

JOURNAL #5
For the google sketch up I used the first tool which is the square creator then I used
the drag and pull tool to lift up my square there were many tools used to be able to
create a chair and a table. All these tools helped me in being able to crate my chair
and table to pass off my assignment for my grade. The functions in google sketch
up was being able to have a square that is in your own measurements to later be
use for the google sketch up tools in the left up tool, cut tool, and etc. these tools

were used to function what you wanted to create either a chair or a table whatever
you like.

JOURNAL #6
Four-fold symmetry- fourfold symmetry is when you have 4 x-axis that you can use
to rotate and create a patterns.
Native American tribes-and American tribe is an Indian American group that has
their own language and believes
Reflection symmetry- reflection symmetry is when you have a line with a figure that
you can either reflect to the X-axis or to the Y-axis in a 90 degree or a 180 degree
you can reflect it many ways
X-Y axis creates symmetry-the X-Y axis creates symmetry because you either have
to have a point in the X or Y axis to create a pattern. From there you create your
symmetry.
Beads past & presents-the history throughout the Native Americans tribe is still the
same the beads still have as much meaning to them as before. The only difference
is that they have now discovered an easier way to explain the making in the beads.

JOURNAL #7
Arrogation is little things gathered into one thing like having a book collection is an
example of arrogation.
A daily life of arrogation is when its someones birthday you gather people to be
able to sing happy birthday to that person.
LOOP: a shape produced by a curve that bends around and crosses itself
Its a ration and looping to execute a fact multiple times.

JOURNAL #8
Algorithm is a progress of rules that are followed by calculation and problem solving
operation. Algorithm is in math such as division in how you solve the problem step
by step to get the operation answer.
Problem is 8/4
Solution would be 2

Algorithm is you would have to divide 8 from 4 you would clearly know that 4x2 is 8
so the solution would be 2

JOURNAL #9

The language of computer is basically using code in where you put in a command
you want your computer to do. Code is basically put for example open tab 1 or
something like that to be able to function the computer. But at the same time
computer language could be anything in which everything you do in the computer is
the language it is using for that task.
Bit=1 or 0
Byte=8 bites

JOURNAL #10
What is the relationship between your keyboard and a binary?
For every word we wish to write our keyboard has been establish to function in
binary format in how every letter or symbol or number has its binary hex code
saved so with the computer screen being connected to the keyboard they both work
together to manage to get our work in the screen and the screen doesnt progress
the hex code it has the hex as 0010 which is the number 2 which is a number or
letter or symbol.

JOURNAL #11
How do you use a hex table used on an ASCII table in creating alphabetic
characteristic.
The hex table is in use for that to convert a letter or number to what the original
function is.the characteristic are that you have the hex which is number that are
used to convert number for example 0010 as a number.

JOURNAL #12
What are computer prosagers: they are a set of instruction for a computer to be
property function in a way. (Aka to complete a task)

Well for all of this I now know that you need to be really specific in how you are
writing a variable because even if you think you wrote good direction you really
need to be specific in how to actually do the directions because not everything will
be as easy with simple directions and no perspective in how to do them.
Journal #13
Different types of control blocks they are code that would repeat itself is when you
go to control and get the repeat bar and set it to how much to repeat it such as 10

JOURNAL #13
In creating a variable in scratch was more easier then creating one on C++
Because scratch already has your commands ready but C++ you have to right your
own commands.
But both of them have to be specific commands for them to function properly.
With both there were parts and times where I had to restart because the commands
wouldnt either work while or I would of not be specific in what I want it to do as a
command.
In and flout

JOURNAL #14
The relationship with repeat until loop and the forever loop
They both make the computer repeat the command repeatedly.

up
