Up, Up and Away We Go...

By reading my title, how do you think that I feel right now? Happy, sad, mad, frustrated, joyful???
If you guessed victorious, then you are absolutely 100% correct.
Alrighty then; on to the second question.
Why on this evergreen Earth do I feel victorious?
Because we are almost done with our Basic Computer Glossary and are finally going to be finished the basic learning so that we can move on to more important things.
I will now stop with the Q&A because I know how annoying it can get.
Today's class was very interesting and mellow at the same. When we got to class, we started off by copying down the definition of one word and then we discussed the meaning of it. The interesting aspect of class revolved around binary digits. Bnary digits are charcters that the computer recognizes. Today we went over base 2 ASCII binary code. I learned that the computer only recognizes 0 and 1. The many combinations of 0 and 1 then symbolize all the different character codes that we have. It is quite intriguing and simple at the same. It is simple because the only digits that are part of this code are 0 and 1; and these two digits have the power to control practically all of the computer. I don't think that I have ever thought about where a website comes from, or how characters are made, and even how the computer boots up. It is about amazing how a computer works! Cool!:D
Anyways, our homework once again is to update and then upload our validated glossary. We are also to find pictures to represent our vocabulary. I am going to post you now blog, because of the massive amount of homework that has been piled on me today.
Sincerely,
Natasha Jain
