Watch Tons of Movies Lots of them. Good, bad, old, new. All genres. Make it your quest to become exposed to all things film. It’s a badge of honor to earn film nerd status, because as we all know, “Nerds Rule the World.” The more movies you see, the easier it’ll be to identify plot points, sequences, and act breaks.

...“Willy” Livingston became president. His first major act was to reorganize the 700 employees into a modified matrix structure. This reorganization was the first step in Livingston’s long-range plan to obtain large government contracts. The matrix provided the customer focal point policy that government agencies prefer. After three years, the matrix seemed to be working. Now they could begin the second phase, an improved MCCS policy. On October 20, 2007, Livingston called a meeting with department managers from project management, cost accounting, MIS, data processing, and planning. Livingston: “We have to replace our present computer with a more advanced model so as to update our MCCS reporting procedures. In order for us to grow, we’ll have to develop capabilities for keeping two or even three different sets of books for our customers. Our present computer does not have this capability. We’re talking about a sizable cash outlay, not...

...History and Development of the Digital Computer Prior to the advent of digital computing, human clerks who calculated in accordance with effective methods we referred to as “computers.” Human computing has evolved greatly since that time; giving the need for computing and the advancement of technology an entirely new growth opportunity. A digital computer is “a device that processes numerical information; more generally, any device that manipulates symbolic information according to specified computational processes” (Digital Computer). Each computer is programmed with a basic set of instructions that are the identifiers of what capability that system has to perform functions. Computers are devices used to carry out a myriad of logical operations, and most often consist of at least one processing element. A computer most often contains a memory bank for information storage. Though the idea of computing has been around for a long while, it wasn’t until the mid-1900’s that “computers” came alive. The dinosaurs of the mid-1900 were mammoth machines housed in large buildings and warehouses and consumed more energy for one operating system than hundreds of today’s mini machine’s do. Today’s computers are miniscule in size in comparison to that of their ancestors and have the capability of far more computing power. As technology has evolved, the computer has taken the shape of laptops, music players, gaming systems and automobiles; each of these tangible items relies on some sort...

...Computer Shopper Just about all professions, these days, require the use of computers. They help record, organize and store anything we need them to. The use of computers has grown rapidly and it is hard to get a job without having at least a basic knowledge of how they work. There are some professions, though, that use computers a lot more than others. Some of these professions would be grueling without the help of computers. I have chosen three professions and four computers. For the computers, I have chosen the Dell Inspiron Desk Top, the Hp Pavilion Slimline desk top, the Toshiba Satellite Laptop and the Hp Envy laptop. I have chosen author, educator and lawyer as my profession. I will pair the appropriate computer with its profession. An author may seem like they would not need much in the way of computers. Often times they do not even use computers to write, but instead prefer pen and paper. However, the work will have to put into a computer sooner or later. An author probably would not be in need for very much space. Their work will most likely be stored on portable storage devices so that they can transport it agencies. Because of this, I think that a suitable computer for an author would be the Toshiba Satellite laptop. It has memory and hard drive space, just not a lot. It is cheap and would serve its purpose for the author perfectly without having the extra features. Teachers and instructors have a little more of need for space. Again, however, they don’t need...

...Computer Comparison Student Name CIS 105 Computer Information Systems Date Facilitator Name Computer Comparison Computer manufacturers such as Apple and Hewlett Packard (HP) sell computers of various types, sizes, and systems to meet the needs of the consumer. Typically prior to the purchase of a new computer the consumer reviews the computers system for both present and future needs. A review of computer systems such as the MacBook Pro Notebook by Apple and the Dell Precision M6500 by Dell reveals how my Pavilion dv6z Select Edition by HP compares. The HP Pavilion dv6z Select Edition carries an AMD Phenom™ II Quad-Core Mobile Processor with 2.1 gigahertz (GHZ) supporting more efficient operations. The eight megabytes (MB) of Random Access Memory (RAM) makes it possible to run multiple programs at once with speed. With the 640 Gigabyte (GB) hard drive at 7200 rpm the dv6z SE can store all of the applications necessary for work, school, and play. The one gigabyte ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650 switchable graphics card brings games and applications to life. Currently the input devices for my system are a wireless mouse, backlit keyboard, digital camera, microphone, wireless card with Bluetooth, portable one terabyte (TB) hard drive, fingerprint reader, and a scanner. The output devices include a 15.6-inch 1366 x 768 resolution monitor, printer, and speakers. The MacBook Pro Notebook includes an Intel Core i5 processor with 2.53 gigahertz more efficient than the AMD Phenom™...

Choose three different professions and describe what type of computer might be needed in that line of work. Base your judgments on hard disk capacity, RAM size, and processor speed. The three professions that I have chosen are Lawyer, Movie maker, and Scientist. The reason I have chosen them is the diversity of their needs. Not everyone needs the same thing when it comes to computers. Some need speed and processing power to run a lot of programs at once. Another may need the mobility to move around from place to place. Let me break this down further real fast. I will start with the Lawyer. They don’t really run a lot of programs at once or really need to store a lot information on their own pc (some have company servers). This person might want to go...

...games, and streaming/downloading movies, videos, and music. Therefore, I will need a laptop that has lots of space/memory, can multi-task without lagging, a good video/audio card and speakers, and a fast processor with good amount of RAM. I will therefore be comparing the 3 laptops mainly in those areas. I will also need a printer to print the research papers I type up and other school work such as articles for researching. I found 3 laptops that I will compare in order to determine which of the 3 best suits my needs. All 3 are sold by BestBuy. The first laptop is a Dell Inspiron, which costs $549.99. It has an Intel Dual Core processor with a speed of 3 GHz. It has a 6 GB RAM memory and 4 MB of cache memory. Therefore, these specs show that this laptop is good enough to run multiple (but not too many) programs simultaneously without lagging and perform fast. Furthermore, it has a hard drive disk space of 1 TB, which is sufficient to run the Windows 10 operating system, the software I am interested in (which will be discussed later in the “Software” section), and any word, spreadsheet, or presentation documents I will need to save to the hard drive. Additionally, it will suffice for any videos, movies, or music I will download. It also has an HD graphics card with a MaxxAudio sound card and speakers which “delivers unparalleled audio performance, with sound that is louder, clearer, fuller and more intelligible.” It also has a DVDRW optical drive, which will allow...
