Blog numero uno (first week)

I just want to start out by saying that this is my first blog ever. My name is Carson Frank. My major is Computer Science and I am a sophomore. Technology interests me because ever since it came out there have been so many innovations that came with it. It made anything it really touched more convenient. Technology evolves at what seems like an increasing rate and that is what fascinates me. When I graduate I would like a job as a computer programmer or a teacher. My ability to learn a little about a lot quickly is probably my biggest strength. My weaknesses include researching and probably my inability to efficiently work well with others. If I think I know how to do something I am very stubborn and will always try my way first. The way I work is weird. I mostly procrastinate when it comes to homework. I almost always get it done but I just wait until I have to do it and it seems to work because then I don't allow any distractions because I know it HAS to get done. If I were asked to learn a new technology or skill my only reaction is, "Give me enough time and I will have it down!" My goals for this class include passing, of course, with realistically an 'A' or 'B+'. I also expect to learn quite a bit about business structure which has already, after two days, helped me in my job at a corporate IT department job. So far I have set up my blog, in the progress of blogging, formed a group possibly with *****Justin Jones and Li Li*** I have not yet read the syllabus or signed the plagiarism sheet yet but I will get to it before Tuesday. This week we were all introduced to our teacher Dr. Stacie Petter. Then we learned the difference between Data and Information and Knowledge which are interrelated. Data is the first link, Information, formed from many many instances of data put together to mean something, is the second link, and the last link is Knowledge or what we can take away from what the information tells us. We also took our first clicker quiz, which I only missed one question on. I believe it was on the question of why a business implicates a new IT system. The last thing we did really was put an actual instance of the UPS into the concepts we learned. That is all for now, see you in class on Tuesday Dr. Petter!
