Question 1:
My partner and I aimed to use the joystick to control the turning on of four different lights, each representing a direction the joystick can turn. I suppose our joystick can be used to create some sort of long distance visual morse code, where a different combination of lights can mean different things. This could be used by military personnel and/or civilians. For civilians it could be as a fun way to communicate with each other using a secret language that no one else understands.
Question 2:
Coding is like writing a recipe because everything written in the code is necessary to create the finished product the way it was intended to be. If even one ingredient is missing, say a curly brace, then the entire program won’t be able to work. And as such, people who write code and/or use it have to be very precise.
Question 3:
Computer can be very addicting. There are many people, especially kids, who spend a large portion of their daily lives in front of the screen. The pull from computers can be so addicting that the option of choosing between the computer and playing outside with friends can become less of an option. Computer also affects human behaviors in other ways, such as in their relationships and interactions. It used to be that people’s friends are those whom they can see and physically reach, but on a less often basis. But now, people can speak to their friends instantly and more often. Some people even consider people they’ve never met in real life or even seen a face of as friends. Therefore, I agree that computers influence human behaviors.
