Lectures

Time is really fast! We are already on our 11th week, Sir Oli told us about the y2k problem. That's where the end of the world thing was brought up because of the y2k. He said that time there was not much new inventories because everyone is concentrating on how they will solve the y2k problem. Oh and Sir Oli explained to us why does the MB,GB,KB are always 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, etc... it is because they are all 2 raise to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc... I also questioned that before why is it like that but now I know:
Flash Drive=
4 = 2^2
8 = 2^3
16 = 2^4
32 = 2^5
64 = 2^6
128 = 2^7
256 = 2^8
512 = 2^9
1024MB = 1GB = 2^10
2048MB = 2GB = 2^11
4096MB = 4GB = 2^12
8192MB = 8GB = 2^13

oh btw,
32K = 8" disk
64K = 5/1/4" disk
128K = 5/1/4" disk double-sided
1.2MB = 3/1/2" FOD

CD = 750MB
DVD = 4GB
DVD-DL = 8GB
BR = 32GB

that's it hehe :)

Sir Oli also discussed about the Computer Communications
It is the process where two or more computers transfer data and instructions.
He told us about the fiber optic, it is a wire that is just like a stand of hair, it cannot be bend because light passes through it so you can't bend it or else it is already useless. Our school DLSU has fiber optics but Sir Oli didn't tell us where it is located for safety purposes. He also told us that each buildings have wires connected to Gokongwei building(our building hehe) because they get their network connection from Gokongwei building where it is located. :)
