Module 1 – Discussion: Computer Solutions

114 114 unread replies. 165 165 replies.

The object of the discussions in this course is for you to learn through experience and interact with various websites, software, and applications. You will also learn from the collective knowledge of your classmates and instructor. Exploring computer technology and applications will help you acquire skills and knowledge of some basic tools (some not so basic) that you can use throughout your college career.

Consider and Discuss

Consider a problem in society (for example, Pestilence, War, Famine) and consider how software applications, if utilized, could solve / reduce / eliminate that problem. Feel free to use an example from home or at work. (Note: This should not be a problem that has an existing obvious solution such as needing to listen to music…)

Your initial post should be 2-3 paragraphs in length (about 250 words). Post your initial posts and responses in the VTBEView in a new window.

Embery CSCI109 Module 2 Discussion latest 2015

Almost from its inception, the personal computer marketplace became fragmented around choices about which operating system people thought was best or coolest, or about which choice of systems offered users the best integrated and reliable options versus price. But while that Apple vs. Microsoft debate rages on, look what’s happened: the basic idea of personal computing has profoundly changed. It’s not only about manipulating the contents of files anymore — it’s more about bringing streams of interaction to your fingertips, or to the blink of your eye.

Other portable device makers have entered this marketplace — Linux-based choices, Android-based systems (owned by Google), and other technologies are becoming more and more commonplace. Dual-personality systems (or “dual-boot”) are much easier to buy and operate. And the devices themselves come with the underlying OS buried further and further away from what the user interacts with.

For which kinds of computing and information systems do users really need to care about underlying technologies — which is what an operating system is? Which kinds of users ought to pay more attention to how well a variety of devices and applications work together (and how seamlessly)? Which kind of user are you? And… do you want to be the other kind?

The Internet empowers enhanced communication on global, national, and local levels. With all of the positive aspects, by its very design the Internet is very difficult to control and over time various societal and legal issues have arisen.
