End of School Year???

After 10 months of sleepless nights, stressed days, aching head, pained body etc...

SUMMER IS HERE!!!

But wait... Before that...

The Projects and Requirements -_-
The Periodical Tests =(
AND
THE CLEARANCE T.T

Good thing I managed to finish most of the requirements... And I know than I can finish them... Eager mode on =D

Can't wait for... SUMMER THE VACATION!!!

ComSci - 15 ; Installing OS: Windows 7

Installing an Operating System...

We were told to install an OS of our choice and create a video tutorial on how to do it. This will serve as our project. Submission: March 10, 2014
We were told to group ourselves by 3's so our class had a total of 10 groups with 3 members each. 
My groupmates and I chose to make a tutorial of installing the Windows 7 OS. We reviewed our notes (only a little) and watched some tutorials made by others to learn how to make a good video tutorial. I hope the video we made may help others in installing Windows 7...

If you want to learn how to install Windows 7, this site MIGHT help you:

ComSci - 14

CPU Assembly...

After our discussion of "Identifying the parts of the CPU", we were asked to assemble the parts of the CPU by our beloved teacher, Sir Tom. After being taught well, we were expected to be successful. We were grouped into 5 with 6 members each. My groupmates and I were nervous and excited. When we were called, our nervousness and excitement doubled even tripled... 
While we were assembling, I can't help whispering a prayer of thanks to God for giving me my groupmates. For without them, I don't know where to put the jumper -_-
We managed to assemble the parts and to get no deductions... That activity was a little hard but full of fun ^_^

ComSci - 13

Identifying the parts of the CPU...

Sir Tom taught us the different parts of the CPU. The motherboard, fan, hard disk/ hard drive etc. Memorizing them was a pain but I managed to endure that pain and memorize the parts.

The next meeting, we had a test: Indentifying the parts of the CPU. I was able to answer but I identified some parts wrong and that is -_- haist. Anyway, I still managed to get a good score so it's fine but still arrgh. Better luck next time then...

Generation of Computers 5



Fifth Generation (Present and Beyond) Artificial Intelligence

Fifth generation computing devices, based on artificial intelligence, are still in development, though there are some applications, such as voice recognition, that are being used today. The use of parallel processing and superconductors is helping to make artificial intelligence a reality. Quantum computation and molecular and nanotechnology will radically change the face of computers in years to come. The goal of fifth-generation computing is to develop devices that respond to natural language input and are capable of learning and self-organization.

Generation of Computers 4



Fourth Generation (1971-Present) Microprocessors

The microprocessor brought the fourth generation of computers, as thousands of integrated circuits were built onto a single silicon chip. What in the first generation filled an entire room could now fit in the palm of the hand. The Intel 4004 chip, developed in 1971, located all the components of the computer—from the central processing unit and memory to input/output controls—on a single chip.
In 1981 IBM introduced its first computer for the home user, and in 1984 Apple introduced the Macintosh. Microprocessors also moved out of the realm of desktop computers and into many areas of life as more and more everyday products began to use microprocessors.
As these small computers became more powerful, they could be linked together to form networks, which eventually led to the development of the Internet. Fourth generation computers also saw the development of GUIs, the mouse and handheld devices.

Generation of Computers 3

Third Generation (1964-1971) Integrated Circuits

The development of the integrated circuit was the hallmark of the third generation of computers. Transistors were miniaturized and placed on silicon chips, called semiconductors, which drastically increased the speed and efficiency of computers.
Instead of punched cards and printouts, users interacted with third generation computers through keyboards and monitors and interfaced with an operating system, which allowed the device to run many different applications at one time with a central program that monitored the memory. Computers for the first time became accessible to a mass audience because they were smaller and cheaper than their predecessors.
