This is my first blog so I figure I should introduce my self. My name is Marcus Overbeek. I'm a Junior here at the college of business and my major is marketing. I have been living in ypsi for the past three years and really enjoy it. I'm originally from Denver, CO but graduated high school from canton, MI. I really don't know much about computers or system information's. I'm taking this class because it is required, but after the first two days it seems like the class will be interesting.
The first days we learned the historical aspect of the class. i found this to be really interesting. I was surprised to find out that Microsoft was really just following in apples wake. It was amusing to find out that the first apple computer was made of wood and sold for $666. I didn't realize how much Steve Jobs had to do with the success of computers and the apple cooperation. He also was a founded of Pixar a graphic company that now is a partners with Disney.
It was interesting to see how the language of computers developed. It's kind of amazing that an entire program can be broke down to 1 and 0. I have had a little work with binary when i was in high school electronics, but to be honest i really don't remember much. I look forward to seeing how these things work and how their used. I also look forward to to finding out more about computers since i really don't know much. This class at the very least will teach me more about the computer world.
