Q1:The moist sensor can be used in farming to text if the crops have enough water and be connected with a water sprinkler. The distance sensor can be used as measuring the height of a person. The vibration sensor can be used as measuring the pressure. 

Q2: Because computer has its own language, you first follow the tutorial and then make your own variations upon that.

Q3: Computer changes people’s way of thinking, way of learning and way of socializing. For example, we are thinking more about privacy. Since we are doing almost everything online: shopping, buy tickets, order food, posting blogs, sending emails etc, our personal information is exposed to the public.
