Computer Analogy

Summary The following is an analysis of a proposed effort to improve the functionality, performance, and reliability of the computer described current configuration section, which is acting as an HTPC (Home Theatre PC). The budgetary allowance for this project is $500.00, but must prioritize a failed SATA hard drive containing the boot and system partitions. Secondary to replacements parts, considerable weight will be given to upgrades that would be compatible with a complete replacement within the next 24 months. Current Configuration Motherboard:

The competitor’s flashlight was easy to take apart, inside of it we can find the wires, the battery, the light bulb, and others components of it. First we took apart the front case and we were able to see all the parts that it has inside, we started taking them apart so we were able to see how they’re placed and how they make it work, trying to not mess them up or to put them in different places than they were before. We used mostly our hands to do all that, we just used some tools to take apart the front case. Our new design is so different than the original one, we made it bigger, its made of hard plastic material and aluminum, also its water proof because campers are exposed to all changes of temperature.

The computer I have chosen for Adam is a custom gaming PC called The Rebel T3. The computer I have chosen for Adam is from NCIX (ncix.com) costing $4,276.86 CAD, including tax and shipping. The computer may seem a lot, however, the cost for the specifications is justifiable for what Adam requires. Since Adam enjoys running multiple operating systems, the computer will come with Windows 10 Home and will provide different operating systems such as Linux and Mac OS X. The CPU is an Intel core i7-6700K with quad core at 4.2Ghz.

* Power socket: It supplies electricity to the PC. A power cable is plugged into the power socket, which carries the power from the electrical outlet to the system unit and from the system unit to your monitor. * Fan: The back of system unit has a fan which works like an exhaust fan. When you are working on the computer, its machinery produces a lot of heat.

There is also a fan smack on top of the CPU. The fan is on top because it was not there the CPU would overheat and would be fried. Fried is when something is overloaded so you are running like 20 games then your computer would probably overheat because you are overloading it with things to process, like when you

And a computer system can be divided into 4 components: the operating system, the application programs, the uses, and the hardware. Without operating system we cannot use the computer. Booting Process To start the boot procedure, turn on the PC. This is known as a frosty boot.

In Alan Turing’s paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence, he proposes a thought experiment that would eventually be tested, and even later be beaten. He describes an experiment where a man and a woman are in two different rooms and an outside observer has to guess at the sexes of the participants. He then suggests that one of the participants be replaced with a computer. Once humanity is unable to tell the difference and will guess that the computer is human at the same rate that it will guess that it is a machine will answer Turing’s thesis of, “Can machines think?’ (434).

My journey to becoming computer literate began with my gran at a very young age. My gran was a computer fanatic and played various games. Going to visit my gran on many occasions caused me to become inquisitive about the computer world. By age six, I started becoming interested in computer parts and started playing around on the computer.
