We talked about the different phases of Programming and our prof also mentioned  2 kinds of error. One of it is the Syntax Error and that really caught my attention.

I usually encounter the word Syntax Error in my scientific calculator. At first, I don't know what it means but then our prof said it means that its an error in grammar. So now, I get it, no wonder when the term syntax error appears in my scientific calculator, it also points out what's wrong with my equation.

In our recent class, we talked about programming. And then our prof said that there's 3 things to remember in programming. And he also mentioned different languages in programming. Then suddenly, I remembered that every time we have our INTRPRG class, i'm seriously clueless of what we're doing. I really have no background when it comes to programming but then I really want to become a good programmer in the future.

ME IN INTRPRG :)

I was able to encounter C++  in high school but then its like I didn't learn anything since the teacher just kept on talking in front or she just types and types in front of the computer without explaining what she's doing. So in general, I still think that I have no background in programming.

I really wish I good be a good programmer in the future. *fingers crossed* :)

We recently talked about the different careers we could possibly have in the future as a programmer. We also classified the difference of IS, IT and CS. When our prof said that InSys students usually deals with people, I said to myself that maybe I'm more applicable to this course than being a ComSci student. Before, I planned on shifting from IS to CS.

I actually also believe that being a programmer isn't an 8 hour job. It is more than that. It's almost a 24/7 job.

I also like that programmers has a really high salary and that depends on how good you are. I really hope that I get to be a good programmer so that I can be rich and be able to support and help my family.

I actually thought that IT students would end up fixing computers... and I WAS SO WRONG. I would actually end up doing different softwares. Which is one of the things i've always dreamt about. I also want to make my own applications but then of course, one at a time.

I'm really glad this topic was opened to us. Now I realised what I'll end up with, I really wanna do good in my academics and be a good programmer.

Who knows, someday one of us could be the next Steve Jobs or Bill Gates? :)

What if computers had a mind of its own?

I think its better that we're the ones controlling computers. If they had a mind of their own, they could take over our world.

I actually find programming really cool. I think its like making your own slave or someone to do the work for you. One of the best examples is the calculator. It is programmed to solve our math problems. There are also calculators that do the graphing for you.

There are also computers designed for health purposes. The ones we see in hospitals are computers but those are not like the ones we have at home. They are programmed for a different purpose. I just recently watched the movie The Fault in Our Stars. In the movie, they showed Hazel being in the ICU. In the ICU, you are surrounded by different machines or computers. I find those kind of computers creepy. But at the same time, I find it amazing as well because it is being able to track your life line.

If computers had a mind of its own, it would probably not be good. WORLD DOMINATION! Like in the movie Tron (1982), they captured the humans and trap them into a virtual world.

We recently talked about output and input devices. While talking about these different gadgets, the things that came to my mind was "I had one of this". I remembered going through those different printers. From the noisy and slow printing process and now to the fast and silent printing process. And I even had speakers that were huge and didn't even had that great quality. Now a days, we're using speakers that are small and portable but really has a good quality with sound. Our Prof also mentioned that we before the game controllers even vibrates, and yeah, I experienced that too.

The topic today was actually familiar to me since I reached that time where those things exist. But then, re-studying it again is nice because it reminds us of the past and you learn more because you gain additional information and fun facts! :)

I am actually fascinated how I could still remember those things. And a few weeks before classes started, I found our old diskettes. Some of them aren't even used. I also remembered that during our elementary days, the teacher would still ask us to buy diskettes and I get to choose from different colors. I always thought that those diskettes has a lot of memory but then I was wrong but during those years, those diskettes really had a big memory enough to store our files.

I've always thought that INTRICT class in an english class but now I figured out its more about technology. I'm very fascinated about the different terminologies I've learned since some of them aren't that familiar. I also learned what to identify when buying the right computer. I don't have to read all the things written on the specifications. Next time, I know what to do or what to identify when buying a computer.
