Computers

--Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.-- John F. Kennedy





Computers:Computers process the information given to them by the user input. They then output the processed information in another form back to the user. The path that information takes through the computer is quite similar to the way that humans process information. The user provides input to a computer and takes output from the computer. The computer takes the input from a user, processes the input and generates the output. The programmer gives/programs sets of instruction into the computer on how to process the input information.

Programming: Computer programmers are the ones that makes computers do what they do. We call this process “computer programming”. Computers only understand their own language. There are many different types of computer programming languages just like we have different languages. Computer programmers pick a programming language that will best serve their programming purpose. In this class, we will become computer programmers using the Scratch programming language to create animations and interactive games. Watch this video from Bloomberg.com.
