00010 01001 01110 00001 10010 11001 (Binary)

My new code for binary is with dollar bill signs ($) in place for the ones and ampersands (&) in place for the zero. Instead of using ones and zeros like I did in the title to spell the word binary it would look something like this in my new code... &&&$& &$&&$ &$$$& &&&&$ $&&$& $$&&&$ (Binary).

Why Do Computers Use Binary?

During the video we watched during class I learned that computers use a signal to get sound from one place to the next like in headphones. The sound travels from one end end of the headphones to the other. The sound also beats on your eardrums causing you to hear the sound that is travelling through the signal. I learned how to fix a high binary number by just giving it a smaller range. I don't quite understand counting with large numbers through binary it didn't come to me right away. I also did not quite understand how adding numbers together works. I would like to know more about adding the binary numbers because it seems like something I might be able to use in the future.

Eliza

Eliza was in no way human like to me she would repeat questions an lines so repetitively you weren't able to have a conversation and she would jumble up all of her words. I would attempt to have her repeat things less often this would make her seem more human. You can't really expect human like emotions from a computer because they truly aren't human. Yet in the future I can see computers being more like humans as human knowledge advances.

Skateboarding Cultural Design

In Computer Applications we have been exploring different types of cultural designs. I tried out the skateboarding software and it was very interesting. Skateboarding began in California in the 1950s. They were nothing more than wheels on wooden boxes that kids would try to ride around on. Skateboarding has turned very diverse and popular since then and is a fun activity to try out.
