The reason why it is so much harder for a computer to compete on jeopardy than to play chess is because chess is stored into the computers system and it only has to worry about using math. With the questions that are asked on jeopardy the computer may not understand what is asked or may not know certain words.

Watson works by running many algorithms at once, that govern how it processes the language. The computer then learns, by checking its algorithms against the answers it gets. In that sense it studies in a similar way to humans.

Yes i think this is a good idea because when ever you need help the computer would be there to help you. It would help but then again hurt people because it may out smart people to where we wont be able to do anything. No i do not think computers  would take over the world because we control the computers. Without us the computers wouldn't even be turned on.

Question of the Day: Martin Luther Kings Jr. had a dream ("I Have a Dream"). What is your dream for the future? What are you doing to ensure you accomplish your dreams?

My dream is to become a veterinarian and i am getting good grades and studying really hard to get where i have to go. I am looking for colleges that would have my major and medicine schools that would help me become a veterinarian.

What is computer programming? How do bits and bytes allow computers to understand instructions?

Computer Programming is the process of designing, writing, texting,troubleshooting and maintaing the source code of computer programs. The purpose of programming is to create a program that exhibits a certain style and behavior. The process of writing a source code often requires many different styles, including knowledge. Programming creates a sequence of instructions to enable the computer to do something.

Writing computer programs means writing instructions, that will make the computer follow and run a program based on those instructions that were given. The program instructs the computer in a language that it understands. There are several types of programs for the computer, such as the word processing, data base, spreadsheet,research and etc.

Bits and bytes allow computers to understand information because both terms refer to digital data transmitted over a network connection. And they both may represent network addresses or different port numbers. NOT gates work by taking one bit as a input and produces as an output. And a AND gate is a digital logic gate that implements  logical conjunction. It behaves according to the truth table. And lastly ad OR gate is when the output is high when either or both of inputs A or B is high.

Question of the Day: What effect do you think Martin Luther King Jr. had on your life? How is his message still relevant? Or is it? Why?

The effect that i think Martin Luther King Jr. had on my life is the right to be free and have our rights as people. His messages is still relevant because people are still fighting for  what they believe in today.

Essay

No i do not think that smart phones would become a digital because there is many reasons why its not a good idea. The first reason is your personal business on your phone like your credit card information. If you just so happen to loose that cell phone one day someone else would be able to access that information if they find it.

NFC should not be supported because its not just credit cards that people hold in their wallets, sometimes people hold their social security card in their wallets, and their insurance card and things of that nature. So if NFC were to be put into action what would people do with the rest of their personal things. They would then have to carry around a wallet and a cell phone that holds their credit cards. So there would be no use in both when you could just have the wallet that holds everything.

Some people may think that its a good idea because it cuts out the hassel of looking for credit cards and things but its not that much of and advantage. People would just have to think ahead and think that the NFC is really not good to use because of all the disadvantages it has. Its a good idea overall but its just some faults that need attention.

Operating Systems

Operating System(OS) - is a software of programs and data that runs on computers and manages a computers hardware.Without it the computer would be useless.
User Friendly - easy to use or operate especially of computers and computer software.
Basic input/output system(BIOS) - is a software bult into the pc. The basic of bios is to load and operate a system.
Disk Operating System(DOS) -  is an operating system for x86 based personal computers.
Graphical user Interface(GUI) - is a type of user interface that allows users to interact with programs in more ways then typing.

The purpose of an operating system is to organize and control hardware and software. It controls everything on the computer. It serves as a manger for the hardware and software resources held in the system and it also deals with the hardware without having to go the long way to applications.

An operating system allows computers to make changes to how the devices work. It serves a variety of purposes. Therefore it creates the ability to interacts with users even in the most complicated ways. And also keep up with things that  tend to slip your mind. As and operating system does its job you can change it at anytime you want.
