This time, I wrote my notes on a pad and studied the tutorials. Since most of the actual work I do is programming on DrRacket, I focused more on the lectures. My only real problem with the test was the part with the "trade-offs" for faster computers. I blanked out and forgot about Neumann's bottleneck theory. I was also really struggling with how computers multi-tasked. I just assumed it was related to input, output and memory storage.

The lecture this week was on the effects technology had on society and he did a little "broken telephone" experiment. We were given several similar sounding words and we had to repeat them. I found this very amusing. I found it funny how people said words that were not even one of the four (gapped, apt, tapped and capped) original words.
