Family?
Family? What is family, many people ask this question in search of true family. Some people think family is DNA (my mom, uncle, and so on). Other think its anyone you can relate to. The club you belong to at school or the people you hang out with at lunch or maybe its the lady that cuts your hair. I think family is anyone that you can relate to on a personal level. Like the club you hang with the country club whatever. My family consist of my relatives, friends and lots of other people that are important to me. My family is made up of many different types of people, from everywhere on earth. "Families evolve from a patchwork of possibilities", A great quote which many people take in different ways some may think it means, families are random, or some people say its who ever you chose to be in your family.

A new command Promt
1001010111011 Binary code. The way computers talk to the parts of themselves. Its been the only way computer talk in a sense to the other parts of them since the invention of them. But there's a new way for computers to "talk" to themselves. Its called fuzzy logic. Its where instead of the current 1 or 0, black and white, its more of a grayness not just one or the other but a little of both. Sounds interesting but to me it sounds just like concept cars they never come out.

Family?
Many people are just this is my family and that's that. Well believe it or not you don't have to be related to be family. You could be good friends. It could be a roommate that you can relate to. It could be many other thing. But its not what you think family is its who you look at. My family is who is share with DNA. Other people might think of it as people in my same religion.
I think family can be anyone that cares for you and respect you. The way I look at family is my family can be as big as the school attendance list. My family right now isnt just my mom cousins or grandparents its who i spend my time with everyday. It could be my friends it could be my teachers, it could be my hair cut lady.
When you go home look at the poeple you spend your time with. Then when you go to school work or to get your hair cut think who's in your family?

Experience
My experience from this project was one of new understanding. I learned that organization is key and if something goes wrong you cant count on people. And anything can change at any moment. I also learned to make sure that the topic or subject that I'm researching is one that I want to do and one that is not that difficult. Well now that I've learned this my responsibility from know on is to pick a topic and stick to it.
This experience was a good one and one that I would not mind doing again. It taught me lots of things and valuable experience.

Finale Big Step
This will be the last blog out of my blogs for my project. My project is almost done and is shaping up nice. My research and now almost completed survey work all now have to be put into a power point. My results are very surprising. The things that I learned were very enlightening. I learned that the first computer was the size of a small room and the memory was a 32 foot long vacum tube. The first computers were huge. Then after those comptuers were the ones with what looked like huge casette reels in them which were even bigger. I have relized that computers have come so far.

Research #3
Last week during The spring break I watched a movie. This movie is called The Pirates Of Silicon Valley. This movie shows how Apple and Microsoft were formed and how they got their start. It was very surprising. I found out how the desktop we come to know was formed and how Xerox passed up the chance of a life time and how apple took that chance and succeeded. It also shows the life's of bill gates Steve Jobs, and Steve Wozniak . It showed the struggle of starting these now great companies and there reason behind what they did in the early 1970's-80's. I greatly recommend this movie to any one how likes the history of computers. This movie taught me greatly that if you are passionate about something you have to work hard to make it work but hard work will be rewarded.
