Anna's 2nd blog

This week I was really interested in the information because it relates to my other classes. Right now I'm also taking computer science 101 and we're learning about the binary system. Honestly, I'd never heard of the binary system before two weeks ago. It is amazing that so much can be said through all 0s and 1s, but I think it would drive me crazy trying to convert everything into binary.
We also learned about measurements and their use in the business world. Measurements are used to make decisions in the business world so we thought of different measurements used in different business careers. I especially understand how important measurements are in accounting because I'm taking an accounting class right now. The link describes different measurements used in accounting, such as assets, liabilities and expenses.
The information about logic was familiar to me because I've taken a few philosophy classes. It is funny because computers and philosophy seem to be nothing alike but they actually both apply the rules of logic. I always like when my classes intertwine because it shows that what we're learning is applicable in many ways, and it helps me understand the information better.

  1. In high school i took an electronics class and in that we learned how to read binary. It's really kinda amazing that it all can be broken down to 1 and 0. I never liked accounting, but i think that this class will be a lot more interesting
