New Binary Code

For my binary code instead of 0s and 1s, I chose to represent the 1s with *s and the 0s with #s.

Example:
In traditional binary 0100000101011000110001111001101001001001001010111000100 is code for saying hello friend in a text messege .
For my binary code that code is the same as #*#####*#*#**###**###****##**#*##*##*##*##*#*#***###*##  and gives you the same text as hello friend.

Response to Video on Binary

1. One thing I learned is that my phone and headphones use voltage to make music. The lower the voltage, the lower the pressure coming out and vice versa. I also learned that you can represent very large numbers, but when putting the voltage up to high numbers, it can become very dangerous. Lastly I learned that computers have to be exact and the voltage can affect the sound quality.

2.I don't understand how the adder knows what to do in every situation and how the adder has to change the range of the voltage.

3. I would like to know more about who created binary.

Google Boys

Google turned form a two man operation to a large corporation when the demand for it increased. At first, two classmates in college wanted to provide a faster and "cleaner" search engine then the ones that were already in use. When others started seeing how efficient Google was, more and more people started to search and then more and more links had to be added. The two boys could not do this on their own anymore. To make profits, they started making space where companies could advertise their products and services on Google pages. Problems they have faced are competition with other search engines and making sure googlebot finds the most accurate links. Google has the fastest search engine and make money with the companies the advertise for. To find their information Google created googlebot. Googlebot is s program that searches the world wide web all the time to find all of the links created on the internet so they an use them when appropriate.

Eliza Review

At first glance, Eliza seems very human like. As I started to use the program more and more, Eliza started becoming extremely computer like. She would give me the same responses and avoid my questions to her.

 I think she could be more computer like if she had some information that she could say about herself instead of always putting the spotlight on the person using her.

Computers really can't express emotion because you can't hear them or see any expressions. Humans tell emotion with their expression and voice where a computer can't do those things.

 I never think that computers will be a good human like substitute. They just don't do the job.

Research on Rythm Wheels

  Using the same site that had the software on it for cultural bead looms and rug designs etc., I did some further research on rhythm wheels. Rhythm wheels contain musical rythyms. African rhythms that are played on drums, congas, claves and things like the slit drums and maracas, and Spanish instruments, such as the Vihuela guitar, create a unique hybrid music. Rythym wheels allow you to simulate a rhythm much like ones that can be created with these instruments. African music is known for its polyrhythms. Slaves use to play drums until masters would take them away because they were a distraction. African music was spread to different places like Cuba because of the slave trade. The Rumba quickly spread from plantations where slaves worked to the slums. When the Cuban Revolution occurred, it changed the style of music that was popular in Cuba. The Dominican Republic also had influencing of the African drumming in their culture from slaves. Plantation owners there soon banned all forms of drumming and dancing because they thought slaves would be able to communicate long distance with music. Puerto Rico was the next country to adopt African Music because of slaves. The Rhythm wheel shows the diversity and similarity between the countries music styles.

My own design

I decided to design a wagon. First, I drew it on graph paper, and then I used the rug design software to make it online!

Pick Your Own Design

My fourth time using the software. I chose to make another bead loom because they were my favorite.

Rug Design

My third time using the software to create a rug pattern.

Basket Weave

My second time using the software to make a basket weaving pattern.
