My Reflection in Digital Design


What have you done so far in your digital design classes?

In Digital design, We learned about:


  • Hardware and software
  • Manual And Automatic Systems
  • The Advantages and Disadvantages of Computers
  • Jobs that use computers

Hardware is Physical Components of a computer you can touch.
Software is the Programs and other operating info used by a computer.
Manual is a Hand Held information system that works with your power rather than automatically.
Automatic is an Electronic/Computerized system that allows you access to info.
