Chapter 11, Problem 9SI
Explanation of Solution
Whether I associate personality with my computer:
“Yes”, when I am working on a computer for quiet sometime, I associate a personality with it. When I have to work on someone else’s system, then I feel difference in its working and response, compared to my system.
Times when it feels stubborn:
“Yes”, when I sometimes think that the computer system is just a machine that is been created for different purposes, then idea of computer having a personality looks absurd.
Whether I get mad on my computer:
“Yes”, there are times when my computer system takes too much time to open certain folder, or when the system stops responding while I am in the middle of my work at such instances I get mad on my computer.
Difference between being mad at my computer and being mad as a result of my computer...

Is playing video games on a computer beneficial or harmful to human
beings in the long run? What justifications do you have for holding this
belief?
There are many commonplace items (such as amusement park rides, vehicles, elevators, and ovens) that are, in reality, computers or information systems nowadays. You would not ordinarily link them with a computer or information system. It is abundantly clear that there are advantages, but what about potential drawbacks? For illustration's sake, if you were to ride a roller coaster that was computer controlled, would you feel more or less comfortable doing so? The computerization of an increasing number of ordinary things raises the question of whether the possible advantages exceed the potential drawbacks. If not, then why not?
If you’ve gone grocery shopping, put gas in your car, watched a weather report on TV, or used a microwave oven today, then you’ve interacted with a computer. Most of us use computers every day, often without even realizing it. Computers have become so commonplace that we don’t even consider them computers. In chapter 1, we discuss what a computer is and look at the development of computers in the past few centuries.
A computer is a programmable machine that converts raw data into useful information. Programming—in particular, (Applications Software) is what makes a computer a flexible and powerful tool. In chapter 2, we look at software applications for both business and personal use.

A friend of mine used to maintain the robots for the paintshop at GM. One of their problems was making sure the robots were all using the same colour of paint on the car. The paint was manually loaded into reservoirs by humans and occasionally the wrong colour paint was loaded (by mistake or on purpose). Sometimes the vehicles came off the production line as car of many colours. a. Excluding the loading of the wrong colour mentioned above, what are five external events that could cause these robots to stop their task or do the task incorrectly? Is it possible for the robot to solve each problem without human intervention? If so, how? - if not, why not? b. People used to do this job.…arrow_forward
