On our 11th week, Sir Oli told us where the main connection of the internet in DLSU was. It's in Gokongwei building. And DLSU also had a satellite for internet connections. And the fiber optics that is as thin as a strand of hair. And it cannot be bend or else it is useless anymore. He also discuss the y2k problem. Where when it reached year 2000, all the computers will be restart to 0000 again and all the files will be gone.
And he also explained to us the patterns in the memory of the USB and flash drive.

64 = 2^6
128 = 2^7
256 = 2^8
512 = 2^9
1024MB = 2^10 = 1GB
Its so COOL.. right?!?! hahah...

On our 12th week we discussed PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES!!!!!!
the more language you know the better, the more they will hire you.....
There are different knids of languages:
Java
Cobol
C
C++
.Net
Web Languages
It is said that the next language that will be released is F. Why F??
The first starts with A, B, C, C++, C# and F.. the C++ is considered as D, and the C# is considered as E....
Sir Oli said that we need to learn those languages, maybe not all, but mostly. But they are easy to learn because somehow they are the same with each other, will only make few changes....
On that same week, S13 performed a dance showdown. It is punishment for having a -30.. HAHAH.... Everybody had a great time laughing with one another. And some really showed their talent for dancing. It was really fun!!!

the first week Sir Oli taught us about Input Devices.
We learned the two voting machines that will be used for the armm election and for the 2010 election. The Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) or Optical Mark Recognition (OMR).
The DRe is a machine where you will input your vote. the OMR you will have an answer sheet and then it will read your votes. So which do you think is betteR?!?!?!? heheh..
We also learned about the important factors we want to caonsider in the choice of Input Device:
-Accuracy and Correctness
-Completeness-Speed of Data Capture
-Reliability of Device-User-friendliness
-Environmental Applicability
-Disability Considerations
-Cost, Life of the Device
-Hygiene in use

July 25, friday. We had our field trip at Makro Makati. we learned many things in that trip how their Information system helps in running the business, how they communicate with their customers: using Makro Mail. where they will send the new informations and promos the market have. They are very strict with the deliveries, small mistakes are seen. They have a specific time where goods should be delivered.

Their IS is Makro Business System.

We really learned alot in the IS business and the processes, hope we had alot of them in the near future!!!!!!!!!!
