A nice night for a test

This week was the second week for a test. A test where we were tested on the recent lectures that were done over the past few weeks including the history of the computer, its components from the hard drives to the introduction of the Operating System and the introduction of the network. To top it all off, a couple of Dr.Racket functions to answer from dicyphering a couple of functions to creating the product of it.

But before the fun could start, there was another lecture to get through, and this week we looked at the relationship between work and computers. We looked at how the introduction of the computer affected the nature of the workforce from labour hours to worker's rights. We also looked into the future of the workforce and how computers affect the single workman in the industry.

So, after learning about the different components of the computer, we now look at the effect it puts in real life. To kick it off, we look at the workplace. At first, I expected the class to go into a human and technology relationship concept but I looked at instead was the result of an event due to technology rather than the relationship. It was simple at first, but then it took things to a different level when the Utopia vs. Dystopia topic was introduced. It was... interesting in the beginning but it was hard for me to wrap that idea inside my for a second because it made me think about what would the future really look like under computer progression.

Next, we focused on a problem called "product of sums", which involved adding products, but looked at it in a more structural way. To be honest, it was difficult for me to wrap my head around the problem, especially when solving the problem took at least a few minutes to look at.

But before that could be resolved, the test came by to put us to the test (no pun intended) of the recent lectures and tutorials done. I would say that the test was average because I knew what kind of questions would make it to the test itself, but even then there were some questions that I had to rely on memory to answer.

But that's all for this week.
