Big Darn Deals Ch. 5

Just about everything I learned in this chapter was new news to me. Never in my life did I know there were that many different types of keyboards out there and computer mice! I thought they all were all cool, but I really liked the virtual laser keyboard. It reminded me of a keyboard on a touch screen phone. I think that is what it would be like to type on.
Like I said in my research paper, I was surprised to see so many not against the microchip being placed in humans. I thought for sure more people than not would be against this. The fact that all privacy would be gone gets me. I don't like that fact and never will!

Big Darn Deals ch. 4

I love learning about the microchips. I have definitely heard about them a long time ago, but have not heard about them in awhile. They were brought to my attention again and I know that I am against them, especially in human beings!
I had heard of the motherboard before but I had never gone so in depth with it. Was exciting to learn about and try to learn where and what each piece represents.
When I went to buy my computer at Best Buy, I was told by many people to make sure it had a lot of RAM. I had no idea why and still didn't understand after people would tell me. Probably because I didn't really care! But now I fully understand the concept of RAM and will be able to tell others when they need to buy a computer!
