The first topic I would like to comment on is the “Very creative advertisement from WWF.” I find the imagery used in this picture quite significant. The image is off the wildlife and how it is dying down compared in relation to lungs and how they deteriorate with smoking and all the harmful things that enter your body and go to your lungs.

 

The second topic I find significant is “Someone at Microsoft is taking LSD.” The picture displayed displays interesting content. The use of color is what I find fascinating. The objects shown are detailed yet awkward in a sense. They are such random pictures yet when they come together they form a big and overall structured picture. I found this topic well put together and structured.

 

 

     

Google Sketchup

Google sketchup is a software that you can use to create 3D models of anything you like. Most people get rolling with SketchUp in just a few minutes although it takes many people longer to understand all the key components of sketchup. You can build models from scratch, or you can download what you need in order to create your masterpiece. SketchUp is a 3D modeling program designed for architects, civil engineers, filmmakers, game developers, and related professions. It also includes features to facilitate the placement of models in Google Earth. It was designed to be easier to use than other 3D CAD programs. As I mentioned earlier, a feature of SketchUp is the 3D Warehouse that lets SketchUp users search for models made by others and contribute models.

 

Google sketchup is used for designing 3D images. They may also be used as building plans for future construction projects. With Google Sketchup you can create 3D models and share them with the world! It is a great tool in planning future projects of construction because it gives you somewhat of an idea and a realistic image of what your plans may be. In the end, you may go through with them, or you may not go through with it. Google Sketchup whose award-winning toolset was developed for architects to help them design buildings, is modeling software that empowers designers – alone or in teams – to explore complex design ideas in 3D. Now it can do the same for your students. SketchUp is a great tool for easily teaching kids to construct 3D models of buildings, trees, cars, and the like. You can use it as a stand-alone tool or in conjunction with Google Earth and the 3D Warehouse. This pretty much sums it all up and gives you the key ideas of Google sketchup.

Operating Systems

Computers these days have many components and are built up of many things whether it is programs, or any other form of software. These things are what computers need in order for them to operate and run properly. The operating systems of computers are also a key component of the computer and in order for it to run. Operating systems are the things one may find on software such as Microsoft.

Microsoft itself is also made up of many components such as its icons and applications. Microsoft is like air to humans. Without it we cannot breathe. A computer without software is a dead computer. These components of Microsoft are what make the computer work.

An operating system is responsible for the management and coordination of activities and the sharing of the limited resources of the computer. Operating systems are commonly found in many electronic devices such as hand held computers, desktop computers, supercomputers and even video game consoles. Today, operating systems offer a number of services to application programs and users.  An operating system whether it is for a computer or any other electronic device has one set of tasks to perform, very straightforward input to expect (a numbered keypad and a few pre-set buttons) and simple, never-changing hardware to control.  The operating system controls your computer’s tasks and manages system resources to optimize performance. So as you can see, the operating system of any electronic device is significantly important as to the operation of the device and how it runs.
