Week 7

It was new and very interesting to learn how very frequently used things like hard drives, compact discs, flash (USB) drives work. On the other hand though, their actual mechanism was pretty complicated. One thing I really liked during this week was the change in computer machines from being able to run only one program at a time with one user only to crude multi tasking including task-switching and time-splitting between various programs. It was also fascinating how the machine actually performs the multi tasking.

My tutorial quiz went very well and that was because I found the tutorial material for this week highly interesting. Its fun to play around with images deconstructing them into each pixel that makes them, and constructing them with different dimensions (height and width). In a similar vein, it is highly useful to make functions pertaining to images and then map them onto images, to every pixel in the image (actually). You can play around with images so much in this way.
