When it comes to describing the system unit...I know NOTHING. Reading about system units, data representation, the control unit , and the arithmetic/logic unit was absolutely horrible. I do not find the makings and complications of a computer very interesting quite honestly. The section on input devices like the keyboard, the mouse, and joysticks was easier to follow because i actually know what a keyboard is and I use/have used all three.
Moving into all of the output devices like the screen and high def...that is an easier read. I think that knowing about flat screens and plasmas and the differences between the two is important to me in the real world because i watch a lot of TV and i need to know what the best one out there is =) getting into the storage part of the chapter was kind of interesting. I did not know how much memory a computer could hold/what it does with all of the information.
Last week we used inspiration to make flow charts. I liked this assignment the best so far. I had never used it before and I believe that a program like that is very useful in college; writing papers and taking notes more effectively, and very beneficial in the classroom helping students prepare for note taking and long papers in college.

As much as I enjoy these entries every week, I too found this chapter boring.

This chapter was one of the more boring ones I'd say. I liked the inspiration assignment too!
Nice incorporation of what we learned last week. Cant forget them good old times.
