Language of computers questions
What is machine language and how is it difference from human language?
Machine language is the language that a computer or machine uses to understand a certain code that they are able to understand by having a programmer imputing the codes. An example of a machine code is either having a 0 or 1 in the older generation computers. The machine language is different from our language because only machines are able to get it and it involves numbers a specifics codes the mean different things, or human language is just words that we put in a sentence which able us to communicate to each other. The programming language is what we call the half human, half machine in which the computer helps translate a message to help the programmer understand the message.
Who was the first computer programmer?
The first computer programmer is named Ada Lovelace who is a female.
What did he/she created? Explain that in detail.
Ada created the first programmable computer in which she based her ideas from Charles Babbage who was the first one to actually think about having a programmable computer. He made this Analytical Engine which was the first step of a programmer which he couldn't be able to finish because of many issues, so Ada took Babbages notes and develop the system by adding more possibilities like methods to complete the program which made her the first perfect programmer.

WiFi Scanner for Windows 8 Phone?
After introducing you guys (readers) into the windows 8 system already now lets scan into the features of the windows 8 smart phone. Microsoft in partner with Devicescape develop this technology where a windows 8 smart phone is able to scan and find the best quality WiFi around the area or the one that is commonly use by most of the people. You are able to turn it on or off in which turning it on will minimize the number of hot spots appearing because the system will only search for WiFi that are free, that has no security lock and it would also take out the WiFi that might do harm to your information. It will only be able to detect the most famous hot spots around the area which will safe time from you for searching the right one that is connectable also. This system will also provide you are map which shows you where the hot spot is coming from so you don't accidently click into somebody else's WiFi. This technology would be able to serve a better comfort on helping us to find the correct free hotspot and save our time.
Major Concepts
The strengths the author have is that he clearly described what this new technology will do in which he gives examples what it can do like he described that it is able to find the best hot spots around and shows a map. They are strengths because it able the people know more about this technology and what it can do so people who are interested in buying this window 8 phone know what good specs that this phone has that is different from other smart phones and he made sure that people know how this technology is beneficial.
Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages
There a few problems or negative side of this article in which I think that the author repeats most of the information about this technology too much which I think that reading the article for a long time thinks that it's boring because of the repetition of many things. Another disadvantage about this article is that the author uses hard vocab so readers might get bored like me in which I find the topic interesting but the author's explain-nation really boring after reading which makes me lose interest in the topic.
Discussion Questions
I wonder many things about this article in which the first question I want to ask is that is it true that this system will show the map of that hot spot which I think that it might be possible. Another question I have is that will it be possible to be used or enforce into Thailand because this article is based on America. I always face problems finding a free WiFi in Thailand at many places and I also want the best WiFi because if the internet is slow I always get mad.

Major Concepts
- Devicescpe and Microsoft develop the automatic free WiFi hotspot scanner
- This system will be able you to find the best WiFi around and it will tell you what speed and performance it has while using it
- Help you save time for choosing the right WiFi that fits you which shows a map and a brief discrption about the hot spot.

Why upgrade to Windows 8
Windows 8 has been around for a while now and many users are willing or trying to upgrade into a windows 8 desktop instead of the old windows 7. Windows 8 took almost 3 years to develop in which it shocked many people because why did Microsoft take so long to develop it which it's most contents are the same as windows 7. In this article it states that the windows 8 has many new and different upgrades that will for sure impress many users because of its faster speed and the ability to do more things than the old windows 7. Then windows 8 also have a huge surprise in which it will be able to link your pc and your windows 8 tablet or phone that Microsoft are also making. There are quite a few upgrades in the windows 8 in which the core upgrade is the faster speed or the boot speed. If you shut down your computer it will be faster too. Another improvement is the security in which hackers will be able to break through really hard. The last update is the power management which you will be able to have many different styles such as a better power saver.
Major Concepts
The author has a lot of facts about the new windows 8 in which he is trying to talk to the people who are interested in buying this new product which he guided pretty well because he had pictures and statistics proving his point such as the speed improvement where he compared the booting speed of windows 8 and windows 7. These things are strengths because the author is trying to clarify the readers by saying why the windows 8 is beneficial to buy.
Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages
I think there are 1 disadvantage that this author has in which he should have been describing his experiences on windows 8 even more because all he gave was statistics why windows 8 is good but not many of his opinions himself are included, so this article would have been good if the author had written about what he think is really good after using it for a month. The people also want to know what other people think about windows 8.
Discussion Questions
The main big question I have here is that when will this school will change the computers to windows 8. I want to know if its possible or not because myself have never tried using the windows 8 before so I would like to try to use it and see if there is a difference or not. This would also prove all the authors points he just mentioned.

Major Concepts
- Windows is out which took 3 years of development in which it has many new features differing from windows 7
- The speed upgrade is one of the most vast improvement because you are able to boot your pc, or laptop way faster with this window
- Windows 8 security is more advance proven by hackers that it is really hard to break through
- The power management is also efficient because of the power saver switching between the different apps

Tablets? Main entertainment of life?
By looking at the title of this post you can easily guess what this it about which it's about tablets getting involved in our daily lives. Tablets have become something that we use everyday in our lives because research has shown it that people usually play games by the most on tablets during their free time. In this modern society we also have prove that people use tablets more than smart phones at home. It also proved to us that we are now not glued to TVs anymore but instead we are to tablets because of their usability.
Our TV usage in this particular modern day has been decreasing sharply because of new inventions that keep us entertained during our free time such as game consoles like xbox, or PS3, or even the smart TV which something more than a TV.
Major Concepts
Potential Strength/Advantages
The authors point about the iPad having a big industry or impact on peoples free time, is really true because in these days many people in the world has tablets and I think that people rarely open their TV but they use their tablet instead because it has many uses such as social networking, or even the TV itself able ling people to multi-task which allows them to switch between apps so it's better to have a tablet now. The author also has evidence which is a strength is the diagram about the comparing of tablets and smart phone usage which helps to prove to me that games are something really popular that people do during the free time.
Potential Problems/Disadvantages/Limitations
I think that the author has many interesting a true facts about this because I really think that people use a tablet more than a phone at home. Something that makes me wonder is that he made a point where he said that TVs are being used very less but he didn't mention poor countries where most of the people are unable to purchase tablets which proves that people in poor countries still watch more TV. I think that this is the only disadvantage or problem because he didn't mention the country, but I think that a country like America this facts are true.
Questions
There are a few questions I want to ask the author in which I want to know the actual number or the number of tablets people use in America because we are able to compare it with the amount of people watching TV which I think is kind of true. I also wanted to know more about which game console is being used the most during peoples free time.
