Presentation Feedback

Dear Group Members, Please review my presentation and use the critique sheet Dr. Archibald has provided to give me feedback so that I can improve the presentation

Conference Notes2

Going into the conference I knew my paper needed a lot of work from the notes Dr. Archibald put on Google Docs.  I had a few specific questions going in to help me get a better understanding to write my paper.  We talked about a few technologies that have had a dire impact on society, for example: telephone, television, and cars.  With the telephone we talked about the party line and how you use to hear neighbors conversations.  Transportation in San Francisco with how they took out the car lines to get people to buy cars and now the car lines are back in.  Now I plan on applying everything we talked about in the conference into my paper.

Sources on 3ResProj

The first source I found was information from a website regarding statistics on injuries and fatalities of accidents while driving on the phone of texting.  At first I tried to do a regular Google search but I didn't find the correct information.  Then I used the advanced search tools and found multiple websites with information from popular websites to trust the information.  I put driving in the "all these words" box and  I put texting, phone, calls in the "exact words" box.  Then I used the advanced search tool to find a website that showed the last 50 major inventions made in the world.  I used the same method as my first source and found a website that showed me very critical inventions that have had a big impact on society.  I used these inventions to explain which were good combinations and bad of technologies.

Conference Notes

After my meeting with Dr. Archibald I found out that I could think outside just computers from my research project.  I opened my idea to technology as a whole.  As we discussed how technology had been changing, we realized that technology is changing by combining all technologies into one.  I decided the topic of my paper would be the good combinations of technologies and the bad ones.  There are good combinations such as smart phones and bad combinations such as the sound quality of IPOD's and MP3's.  In my paper I will show my audience what combinations they should get.

ResProj Paper Ideas

Babbage and Jobs are more similar then anyone think and through their hard work they changed the world.


Today we can see the Jobs and Babbage were without a doubt right.  Computers are found in every school, most houses, hospitals, etc.  Today computers benefit the world in many ways: form or entertainment, organization, communication, distribution of knowledge, and a connection to the outside world.  
Evolution of the Computer

After reading these quotes from my 2Syn paper what do you think about these topic ideas? Do you understand what I am getting at? Which one sounds best to use for the 3ResProj? Why?

1) "It offered new and more efficient ways to organize and store information" (Lovelace 241).

2)  "The whole world saw computers as huge machines that brooded ominously behind government doors" (Playboy 1).
 

I didn't have information long enough to use the interpretive method, so I simply stuck to using the single phrase method throughout my paper.

First Paragraph of my 2Syn Paper

What has the computer done for our generation?  How did it differently influence Babbage’s generation from Job’s generation?  The computer is arguably the best piece of technology that the world has seen and only became what it is through the strong faith of Charles Babbage and Steve Jobs.  Babbage and Jobs are more similar then anyone think and through their hard work they changed the world.
