Minority-report

This is a practice quiz. You may want to take this before you attempt my ACTUAL quiz.

You may even learn something. Hmn. There's an idea.

Info-Tech - Minority Report

What in the heck is Tom Cruz doing in this photo?

He appears to be using some sort of futuristic input device to interface with a computer.

I don't know about you, but as someone who studies Input Devices, I'm compelled to take a closer look at this thing he's using.

Let's watch this fictional account of the future and pay close attention to the input devices used. Lets ask ourselves and each other if these ideas are feasible, practical, and or probable.

I think I may work up some questions for a Minority Report Quiz, so be on your games.

Input devices were a piece of cake - let's prove it by doing REALLY well on this test.

There are 50 questions plus TWO extra credit questions. They are all multiple choice (shame on Me). Take your time.

Info-Tech -Terminator Quiz

Terminator

OK guys. It's time to see what you know, and what you don't.

We watched a movie called the Terminator. We discussed how it relates to our unit on "the system unit". No we have to see who was listening.

Info-Tech - Unit 5 Input Devices

This Image shows Tom Cruz interacting with a computer using some futuristic input device.

The image is from a movie called The Minority Report.
Let's take a close look at the input devices of the past, present, and perhaps future.

We will begin with a PowerPoint presentation that I created for you, and then move on to our book.

Later we may see what the world of science fiction has to say abut input devices.

Students Challenge Students Three

This challenge is more of an individual challenge than a group challenge, but I think I can make it work.

I will record how long it takes each student in the class to complete the challenge. Then we average that number by the number of students in that class. The class with the lowest score is the winner. Fair?

O.K., good luck.

Challenge

Info-Tech - The Terminator

nobody@vox.com(Mr. Hennings) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 04:21:12 -0700

Terminator

You guys worked hard on the last few units. We had two in a row with no break.

Yesterday's test was a success, and today is Friday. So instead of creating a blog entry, You have earned the chance to watch a little of The Terminator.

Let's view this from the mindset of people who are technologically aware. How realistic is this science fiction movie. For example, how much is science, and how much is fiction. How long may it take before the fiction becomes science?

Enjoy - Mr. H.
