My PC

The Computer I use for school is a HP laptop that uses Windows 7 for its OS. I love using Windows 7. Vista! Not so much!
The things I appreciate most about my computer would be:

• The storage 300GB.
• The RAM 4GB.
• The screen size 15 inches.
• The size and shape of my keyboard.
  

Some things I think my computer lacks or I find challenging would be:

• The number of USB ports 3.
• The battery life. Usually lasts about two hours. This is a challenge when I do homework away from home or in place where I don't have access to an outlet.
• The touch pad is very difficult to use and you really have to press down hard on the right/left buttons to click.
• There is no Fire Wire port to connect directly to a camcorder.
  

I might consider upgrading my RAM some day if I get into web design or video editing. My RAM is more than enough for operating my OS and surfing the web, but I do wonder how well it would handle editing software.

Nanotechnology

I am not even going to begin this blog by saying I know anything at all about nanotechnology, but what I did glean from the book and from the article we were given is that our machines, especially the microprocessors, are now being built at the atomic level.
Why not concentrate on making our RAM chips smaller and more efficient? Can nanotechnology be applied to manufacturing RAM? Again, I am not a scientist, but from what I read in chapter four and from other books, is that a computers RAM is what really gives it a stronger, speedier performance. I want faster, smaller, and more affordable RAM. Primary storage people! The wait time is over. Can't you picture our programs loaded and ready at the blink of an eye? Isn't that what technology is all about, decreasing wait time. It never hurts to dream!
