CS1107 Intro to Computers was a nice review of computer systems. During the class I felt like we could have gone more into depth on some subjects, like # bases, programming, electronic components of computers, there was a lot of web basics though, that were fun and good intro work. If anything this class helped me decide the computer workforce is where I'd like to be.

Today's Blog, More Computers.


Students use computers in a lab(usually connected to a local network that connects to the internet.) to work on homework or study web references. Computers are essential for modern schools/education.
