Computers

Hello! This week I learned about computers. I have learned about RAM, which stands for Random Access Memory, choosing the right computer, and software. RAM is a type of memory on the computer than can be accessed at any time. Also I learned about choosing the right computer, and all the perks that go along with computers.
When buying a computer, you want to make a list of all the reasons you want it. When going to the store, ask a representative what computer would be best for you. You either want a desktop, or a portable computer like a tablet or a laptop. Many people prefer a laptop, because of its mobility, and light weight. A desktop is a good choice if you are looking for a computer just to keep at home. A table is very mobile, fitting in most bags, but never very useful for work purposes. Are you wondering which one to buy? This website may help: http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/04/consumer/what-should-i-buy-laptop-desktop-mobile
Software is also a very important perk. Software is word processing, editing material, and other applications. It may be expensive, but is needed. You should replace software every few years to keep up to date. Also, whenever an update is available, you need to do it to keep your computer up to speed.
Technology is constantly changing, especially in computers. Computers have been improving since they were invented, in the 1930's. Computer's first took up entire rooms, but have become smaller. Recently they have become touch screen, also known as tables. Modern laptops can be extremely thing, amounting to centimeters thick. Many companies have been competing to improve laptops faster, such as a company named Apple. They have iPad's, Macbooks, and Desktops. For example, the Macbook Air is laptop with faster software, and better features then most laptops. The Macbook Air weighs in at 2.38 pounds and is 0.68 inches thick.

As time continues forward, so does technology. I look to see computers that project an image than can be operated by touching the projection. I would definitely buy a computer like that, and I'm sure many others would too. Also, Google has created a cool device called ¨Google Glass¨ that is very futuristic. Google Glass is glasses that can video tape, tell time, watch videos, show directions, surf the internet, and translate your voice. You simply put them on, the say a command. They can be brought anywhere. To get you must be 18 years old, a US resident, and have a valid ID. They cost approximately $1,500. To get involved you must sign up.

In the coming years, I think computers will be able to fold up into a smaller size. When you finish using the computer, you may push a button, and it will fold up. It may go from large sizes into a smaller, more compact box shape. I have seen this before in movies, and think it would be cool to have one. It is ultra-portable, and may still contain the perks as another computer of your choice.
