NUEVE (9)

“9” is a feature - length expansion of Shane Acker’s short film of the same name. The action packed talc takes place in a world parallel to our own, in which the very legacy is threatened. A community of fully mobile rag dolls living a post apocalyptic existence fined one of their own 9 (Eliejah Wood), displaying leadership qualities that may help them to survive.
Nueve or 9 had the ability to calm down the Great Machine which the scientist was created or invented. This machine was meant to be a instrumental progress or creation. The main reason why this machine can function extra vagantly is that because; the more souls that the machine can get; the more powerful it become. In contrary for that, the great machine will be destroy and stop from malfunctioning if a small device attached to it will be remove. In this movie we can see how the creators of this machine suffer because of the people who intend to use it in the bad ways. We noticed that all of the rag dolls that the scientist made are needing a piece of soul so that it will be alive. We relate it in a woman who labors a child, even if she will die she still sacrifice herself so that her child can live in the world and can make a greater achievement thus she didn’t, that also like in a scientist. The great idea for this movie is that, if you die we can still have a chance to live longer the way we want to be and preserve our knowledge by transferring our souls into the rag dolls. As we see now in our country today many new technologist are now invented, who ever knows 10 years or 5 years from now our country will be full of that technologist inventions.
In every good side of a gadget, there are still harmful effects of this if we won’t handle it properly. And these are the two effects: machine turn against human and easy corrupted by the one who controlled it. We should take good care of our gadgets so that it will not cause us troubles. A machine or gadget can barely useful if the person who used it has a good heart and responsible for everything that might happen.

SURROGATES

In the near future, humans live in isolation and only interact through robotic bodies that serve as surrogates. When several humans are murdered when their surrogates are destroyed, a cop (Bruce Willis) investigates the crimes through his own surrogate. After a near fatal encounter, the cop's surrogate is destroyed and forces him to bring his human form out of isolation and unravel a conspiracy behind the crimes.
A surrogate is a movie that will convince you to avail this product. It will make your life easier and convenient. In the brighter side of surrogates. It provides a tremendous amount of hope for the future. To have perfect looks without trips to the gym or plastic surgery. In contrary for that, surrogates us well as the human body can be destroy by a weapon that gives vibration. People are safe all the time, and damage done to a surrogate is not felt by its owner, it is a peaceful world free from fear, pain, and crime. It will not function well if the signal is low. The great benefit of having this, are the ability to leave your home without risk of disease or injury; physically disable people will be able to operate fully synthetic bodies; and we will be persons like anyone else. The harmful effect of this gadget are we can’t experience the happiness of being a human being; we are controlled by the so called “PUPPET – SURROGATES” ; we won’t have the same opportunity to walk, talk, and explore as a human. We can’t feel the warm of the sunshine in the morning and even the cold at night. Our responsibility as a human will be aborted. We can’t enjoy life the way it is perfectly designed by our supreme being. Being true to ourselves is the best and great – achievement we can do as long as we are alive.
The greatest fear of human being is DEATH; yet it’s not an ending. Rather it’s a new beginning. When you sacrifice your own personal desires for a greater cause, a greater good, you never die. You never disappeared. That is what it means to be human. There is no alternative. You can try to escape by living through a puppet or a machine, but deep down inside, you know you’re living a lie. We sacrifice many modern pleasures and conveniences to feel truly connected. Not with machines, but with ourselves. This human condition. This is what gives life meaning.

SIMMILARITIES

As the year passes by, new gadgets are invented. Technologies are the basis of our daily life. Right? In this movie Nueve and Surrogates, we can say that there is 80% that it will happen to us in the near future. This movie are both man- made, a product of a brilliant idea, an invention to make life easier and convenient, a technology- based, and a tragic one because many lives are ruined and vanish.
We can say that there is a limitation for everything and an ending. So use our knowledge in a good way for the good benefit of humanity. As we encounter all of the technologies that man made, hope that we can use it in a good and responsible way. People make some of the irresponsible ways in using the technology but it will come the time that they would realized how important technology is in our life.
Weather this two movie is a cartoon or a human movie still they both helpful in expressing the important and the dangerous thing that may come. This is a good way to show how the technology affects humanity.

Five examples of storage devices

1. Random Access Memory

The Random Access Memory is used for storing information temporarily. When the computer is switched off, the information on the RAM is wiped off. The access rate of RAM is much higher. They are more expensive than the other types of primary storage devices.

                            

2. Read Only Memory
       It is used to permanently store data. Data can be stored on ROM, either      when the computer is been manufactured or by the computer user. However, the disadvantage of this type of memory is that the data stored on ROM cannot be changed. The access rate necessary to get to the memory is much lesser as compared to the access rate of the RAM. Unlike the RAM’s, ROM’s are not expensive.



                                                         

3. Hard Drives

    The hard drive are one of the most important of the secondary types of computer data storage device, the hard drive device Data is stored on the hard drives in the digital format on the hard drives. In the initial days of the computers, hard disks were like removable mass storage devices. However, with time they started coming as a part of the central processing unit of the computer. However, now there are external hard drive available as well.

4. Memory Cards
The next of the computer storage devices examples are the memory cards. Data is stored in digital format on the memory cards. They can be used in various electronic devices from hand held computers, mobile phones, cameras, etc. They are also rewritable. Although they are small in size, they can store a high amount of data.

 
5. Flash Memory
With a lot of research came the flash memory. This storage devices for a computer is similar to the read only memory. However, there is a big difference between the flash memory and the ROM. Data from the flash memory can be erased in a matter of few seconds from the flash drives, which is not the case with the ROM’s. At the same time, the data can be changed as per the requirement.

Five examples of output devices

1. Monitor

  The most common computer output device is the monitor or computer screen. Monitors create a visual display from processed data that users can view. They come in a variety of screen sizes and visual resolutions.
There are two types of computer monitors, CRT and flat panel. CRT monitors use phosphorescent dots to create the pixels that make up display images. Flat panel monitors usually use LCD or plasma to create output. Light is passed through liquid crystals to create the pixels.
All monitors rely on a video card that is located on the computer motherboard or in a special expansion slot. The video card processes the computer data into image details that the monitors can display.

2.Speakers

  Computers produce audio data that require output devices such as speakers and headphones to deliver the sound to the user. Audio data is created by the computer and then sent to the audio card, which is located in an expansion slot. The card translates the data into audio signals, which are sent to the audio output device. 

3.Printer

Printers produce a hard copy version of processed data such as documents and photographs. The computer sends the image data to the printer, which then physically recreates the image onto an object.
There are three types of computer printers: ink jet, laser and dot matrix. Inkjet printers spray tiny dots of ink on a surface to create an image. Laser printers use toner drums that roll through magnetized pigment and then transfer the pigment to a surface. Dot matrix printers use a print head to imbed images on a surface, using an ink ribbon. 

4.Projector

Projectors are display devices that project a computer created image. The computer sends the image data to the video card which then sends the video image to the projector. They are typically used for presentations or for viewing videos

 5. Plotter

 A plotter is a computer printing design for printing  vector graphics. In the past, plotters were widely used in applications such as computer aided design, though they have generally been replaced with wide-format conventional printers, and it is now commonplace to refer to such wide-format printers as "plotters," even though they technically aren't.

Five examples of input devices

                                                                                 1. Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a specification to establish communication between devices and a host controller (usually personal computers), developed and invented by AjayBhatt while working for Intel .USB has effectively replaced a variety of interfaces such as serial and parallel ports

2. In computing, a mouse is a pointing device that functions by detecting two- dimentional motion relative to its supporting surface. Physically, a mouse consists of an object held under one of the user's hands, with one or more buttons.

   3 . A keyboard is typewriter which uses an arrangement of buttons or keys to act as mechanical levers or electronic switches. After punch cards and paper tape, interaction via teletype-style keyboards became the main input device for computers.
                                                                   








4.  A device containing a transducer for converting sound waves into electrical signals that can then be amplified, transmitted, and output through a speaker.
               



      

                                           
                                                                                                             5.   A webcam is a video camera which feeds its images in real time to a computer or computer network, often via USB, Enthernet or Wi-Fi.Their most popular use is the establishment of video links, permitting computers to act as videophones or video conference stations This common use as a camera for the web gives the webcam its name.

My expectation in the subject is to gain more knowledge of all basic information about computer. I know it's not an easy one, but, I hope I can manage to do it well with the eagerness in the deepest part of my heart to be more  acquainted to the computer.

I hope also that our instructor Mark Van Buladaco would not be so thrifty in giving of grades to his class. But I also believe that it is depend to the student if he or she worth it.
