Week One

Main points from lecture:

• As this was the first lecture for the unit it was interesting to learn what it was all about. I gathered information that told me what I need to know, what I need to do, and what I will learn.
• PC's (Personal Computers) have grown and become an essential part of everyday life and living. They are used for business, leisure and personal productivity.
• As a student, having access to a computer is important for numerous reasons, being research, communication word processing and creating presentations.
• I was told to be patient with computers, as I'm still learning and being taught new things, and new processes to do these things.
• The equipment and required skills I will need for this unit. Being a working ECU account, a USB thumb drive and Internet access from home. I also need to have an understanding of how to use a computer, how to use and access my ECU account and everything that is associated with it.
• The personal lesson I learnt from Week One's lecture is not to sit next to people that are listening to their IPods, playing on their phones and reading magazines. It is very distracting.
