Today we learned about all the different parts that make up a computer. These include the hardware, operating system, and applications. First we took a look at the new iPad from Apple, which was a great example of the different components of a computer. The iPad itself is a computer, and it has many different applications on it (photos, iTunes, and a browser). It has its own operating system, while other examples of systems are Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows 7. In addition, we talked about the two types of applications: local and network. Local applications would be listening to music on iTunes, and network applications would be downloading music from the iTunes store. Finally, I uploaded all my screenshots and wrote my journal entry.
