Week 3: Introduction about computers

After IM, i have learnt about computers." Computer is a programmable machine/device that carries out what it has been instructed to do." Nowadays, a lot of  people have to use computers every day for their work or study. Because of its practical benefit. I also use computer most of the time, such as face-booking, watching movie, listening music and so on. However, i hadn't known about it clearly until i have been taught about it at my IT class. I have been added more knowledge about computer on that day, such as: about evolution of computers. There are 5 generations of computer :

1. First generation (1940-1950): Vacuum tube.
2. Second generation (1950-1964): Transistor.
3. Third generation (1964-1974): Integrated circuits (IC).
4. Fourth generation (1974-present): VLSI/ULSI.
5. Fifth generation (Now-Future):  

Week 3: Presentation about IM

Finally, Our group has done presentation. This is the first time that i hold a microphone to present in front of over 50 peoples. Even though, my part was very short and easy, but i was very shy and embarrassed at that time. Today, i have gathered for myself an valuable experience. And i hope that i will have an other chance to do it better. There were a lot of problems with IM that we have learned from the other groups such as the problems in translators, hospital, library etc... Moreover, they were very intelligent to find the way to solve with them. For example: _The problem is that the data is semi-structure data and multimedia data. We found the solution is : there are commercial product for automatically matching images, such as fingerprints and faces ; matching audio, including voice, music and sound and so on . In my opinion, the fact that working in a group really brings more successful than working by own and also give us a chance to learn from the other people and experience from the other groups. I am very happy today, even though my group are not the most perfect. However, the most importance is that we have tried the best.

Week 2: Information management

Week 2: _ we are taught about information management,"What is the information management(IM)?" - that question has been in my mind during the period on last Tuesday. Moreover, we had to participate in a group with 6 people for presentation on Wednesday. I have found a group for myself that includes 3 boy and 3 girls. Firstly, i felt so troubled, because i did not know any one of them.Besides that, i also did not understand the lesson clearly. _And also in that day , our group had meeting in student centre at night. Our topic was " The problems associated with IM and find solutions to overcome these problems". Probably, we had to choose a leader first. Our leader is Pisey- a guy from Cambodia. He has explained us what the topic expect us.Then , all of us stared to search information on the internet. Fortunately, we has found it easily. Specifically, Raysa (a guy from Malaysia) did it very well. The next step was that we have to design our power point. Juhanh(a boy from Thailand) has volunteered to do it .We worked until at 11pm, at that time i suddenly remembered that our hostel gate would be closed at 11pm. Therefore , we had to stop working even though we still had lots of work to do. Finally, Nadia , Ani (2 girls from Malaysia) and i decided to do the remaining works in hostel. _we worked actively together and thanks on that i have understood better about IM. Probably, people cannot keep the large number of information by their own memory , therefore Information management systems is really necessary. Information is a general terms that refers to managing any kind of information. Understanding that , we were easy to find out about the problems which exist with it. And we have done it on time. _On Wednesday, the other group has presented their task. They really did it perfect. We found lots of different problems and the lecturer has shown what are really important points . _However, we did not have enough time for all groups. Therefore, my group is going to present our "achievement" in next week . Let's wait for it. hehe~~
