Recitation 3 Sensors by Xintong Xie

 

  • Question 1

We intedned to assemble a infrared distance sensor in the recitation. We connected the sensor with a LED light, when distance is lower than 20cm, the light will turn on. I think museums will use my sensor combination. They can use the sensor to portect the relic from touching. When people get too close to the relics, the light will tutn to warn visitors.

  • Question 2

I think programming has a lot in common with recipes. Both are done in sequence, with each component having a specific function. At the same time, preparing the ingredients and understanding the necessary terms are similar. However, there is no need to have a waiting time in programming, basically fast processing; Recipes often involve waiting for the food to cook.

  • Question 3

Computers have influence the way people look for information.  In the past, people usually used books or libraries to look for information. But now, people tend to usethe search engine online and get information from different websites. Also,  computers influence the way we take notes or write documents. People like to write with Word or Excel and storage them in the computers.
