MERRY CHRISTMAS.

A Little Photography History.(;

"Photography" is derived from the Greek words photos ("light") and graphein ("to draw") The word was first used by the scientist Sir John F.W. Herschel in 1839. It is a method of recording images by the action of light, or related radiation, on a sensitive material.

My Most Favorite Famous Picture.

It's just so frackin cute.(:

Cameras

1794
First Panorama opens, the forerunner of the movie house invented by Robert Barker.

1814
Joseph Niepce achieves first photographic image with camera obscura - however, the image required eight hours of light exposure and later faded.

1837Louis Daguerre's first daguerreotype - the first image that was fixed and did not fade and needed under thirty minutes of light exposure.

1840
First American patent issued in photography to Alexander Wolcott for his camera.

1841
William Henry Talbot patents the Calotype process - the first negative-positive process making possible the first multiple copies.

1843
First advertisement with a photograph made in Philadelphia.

you need more than just a continuous path (circuit) before a continuous flow of electrons will occur: we also need some means to push these electrons around the circuit. Just like marbles in a tube or water in a pipe, it takes some kind of influencing force to initiate flow. With electrons, this force is the same force at work in static electricity: the force produced by an imbalance of electric charge

This Week

We're learning about logic gates, they're confusing. We also learned about "The American Standard Code for Information Interchange"  I wasn't here a lot of the week though soo..I'm gonna need to study some more,(; greatttt..

Watson, a Very Intelligent Computer.

http://www-03.ibm.com/innovation/us/watson/ this is to get to the IBM website to learn more about WATSONN!!!!!! THE COMPUTER!!!!!!

yay for kittens!(: i love kittens.

The Beloved Ipad. One of the things in "2001, a Space oddysey" that they made up, that came into real life!!

-2001, a space odyssey.

In the begining that I watched it had weird apes that made weapons and a video chat that they thought was impossible at the time..but it's not impossibe cause I use it now!!

Yay.

Hardware- Everything you can touch
Software- Stuff on the inside that works through programs, they make the computer function
Microprocessor- Preforms most of the tasks we ask it to do. Unlimited amount it can do, the brain of the machine. It handles the fetch decode & execute steps on computer.
The first computer ever was called the ENIAC. It standed for Electronic Numerical Integrater And Calculator.
RAM- Random Access Memory
ROM- Read Only Memory
Integrate circuit- A complete circuit on a chip.
Embedded Processors - a chip designed with a specific set of usable instructions.

10 things that will disappear in my life time;:

1. The Post Office
2. The Check
3. The Newspaper
4. The Book
5. The Landline Telephone
6. Music
7. Television
8. The "Things" You Own
9. Privacy
10. And one thing that I think is going to disappear are Libraries.
