Week 4

Databases always did interest me because it deals with information. The Hierachal model caught my attention because the way it's setup. I also like it because you can multiple data in a good order.
The metadata article was a good article, data about data. My first time ever hearing that term,it reminds me of Dr.Suess for reason. Since I maybe going into archive librarian work,I really observed this information in more depth.Acording to the article,archivists use it to provide visual info for researchers. I'm a visual learner,so this will go hand and with me. As far as the Dublin Core article I was a little confused about it.

Muddiest point

I don't understand the sum of total of information as explained about metadata.....

Here are the comments I made recently....... http://thealleyview-1.blogspot.com/

Assignment 3/ Linux Program and Mac OS X

I have never heard of the Linux program until reading the article. I believe sometimes one idea can spark a technological revolution such as a group Bell Lab developers. I can tell that I am a little behind on computer software. However the article about Mac OS X, I have heard about. I knew some information about it,but received a deeper understanding of it. I have not used an apple computer in years and never learned of the Darwin packages. My definition of hacker and the Mac OS X's definition is totally different. I always thought a hacker was person who breaks in programs and computers and steals information. Well I definitely learned a significant amount information and found it very interesting.

Muddiest Point

I really did not understand the Vista software.... So is the Vista program more advanced than XP?

Muddiest Point

I wonder how far technology will go with the gigabytes?

Assignment 2

Moore's Law was very interesting to me because his conclusion has highly contributed to technology, also proved accurate. So in a sense he was man above his time,benefitting many companies, media and the public. As far as computer hardware,I learned alot concerning sound cards that I did not know.
