Chapter 2 discusses the ins and outs of the internet and the world wide web. We are able to see, through the six step process how data may travel the Internet using a cable modem connection at home. We also learned the features and history of search engines and the world wide web operate. Web pages can be static, dynamic, or participatory to name a few. Static pages make it so that all the visitors see the same thing, while a dynamic allows customized views.
A new little tidbit of information that I gathered from this listen was the use of Kiko. Kiko is a virtual calendar that allows you to schedule, organize, and prioritize the many tasks that come up in your life. You can access this great virtual assistance tool at http://www.kiko.com. It allows you to get a detailed weekly and monthly view and separate the tasks between work, home, and whatever else you want. It would be a very useful tool to my life especially. Also, you can add contacts and get reminders and alerts via email or IM.
Let's see...something interesting regarding my personal life...I halfway told my best friend that I was in love with him so after class I have to call and pray that I haven't freaked him out. I can't help the way I feel though, plus he feels the same way he's just scared to let himself fall too hard. It'll all work out in the end.

Chapter 4 discusses the intricate parts of the computer system and their individual functions. It also differentiates between the different types of devices, going into depth and giving examples of each. For example, we were able to discuss input devices vs. output devices vs. storage and media devices. Also, we received a brief overview about the Inspiration program.
From last week to now, I can proudly say that I know what a motherboard really is and that it is made up of chips. I can also tell you that a CD is not an inpot device as I assumed it would be, but a media device. Inspiration was something completely new to me altogether. I had never even heard of it before this class. However, I have found it to be alot of fun and not difficult at all to master.
My shoulder muscles are really sore right now, but all is well in my life. Especially after my best friend in the whole wide world surprised me last night with the matching pearl and crystal earrings to go with my necklace that he got me for my bday. He's the absolute greatest!!!!
