    What makes a good learning resource for "Understanding Computer Systems"?

    Yes like the use of keyboard sometimes we don’t know we put things on top of the keyboard and it’s delicate coz of the function of it that might not work.

    Your motivation for learning about quantum computers

    Want to learn more about quantum computer. Thanks

  • JO C. B. made a comment
    Sheer Curiosity

    Note:
    Quantum computing and quantum information owe their origins in part to the dissatisfaction with an apparent contradiction between the quantum mechanics of the first half of the twentieth century and special relativity, which limits the movement of any physical object to the speed of light. This worried Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen,...

    What is an operating system?

    How would an OS running on an automated factory machine differ from one running on a smartphone?

    I think there is a great difference with regard to OS on automated factory machines with OS running of smartphones.

    Advantages of an Algorithm
    •Effective Communication: Since the algorithm is written in English like language, it is simple to understand the step-by-step solutions of the problems.
    •Easy Debugging: Well-designed algorithm makes debugging easy so that we can identify a logical error in the program.

    Storage Devices

    What type of storage do you think a school would use to store attendance records from last week? Where do you think a GP surgery stores its patient data from ten years ago? Where would a photographer store their portfolio?

    I think school must use hard disk to store students records & attendance especially if populations are big.
    Same thing, they can you...

    A History of Storage Media

    Take the first 3.5 inch floppy disk of size 720KB. 1GB = 1,000,000KB. If he assembled the disks in a tower, end to end, how tall would it be in feet?
    Wow sad to say am not good in Math.

    A History of Input & Output Devices

    The main reason punched cards aren't used any longer is density. A one-inch stack of cards is only 142 80-byte records (assuming the usual practice of encoding one byte per column). So if you need to store 50,000 records that's a stack of cards 350 inches tall (over 29 feet). And 50,000 80-byte records isn't that much, just 4 megabytes of data. If you were to...

    Pressing a key

    Now I learnt the importance of
    keyboard and it’s functions.
    What happens in your computer when you press a key on your keyboard?
    First, a switch beneath the key closes, and current flows into a small chip in a keyboard. Each key has a scan code number, which corresponds to its position on the keyboard.
    The keyboard transmits this number as binary data...

    Note:
    We can say that writing down a number is linear in the number of digits. If it takes you three seconds to write down 100, it will take you seven seconds to write down 1,000,000.

    In contrast, the task of writing down all of the numbers is exponential in the number of digits. Writing all the numbers to a thousand takes ten times as long as writing all...

    The Wear2 project

    I like this idea, “The Wear2 project has discovered an innovative way to remove branding from clothing so that it can be recycled and re-worn. This innovation has further potential to remove labels, buttons and other items from clothing so that the item can be broken down into its constituent parts and recycled appropriately.”
