It took too long honestly, but I just realized that Maslows heirarchy of needs can be used in my argument. In a nutshell, the computers simply help our species achieve these needs.

Whenever humans needed better and more efficient products, the answer has been computer technology. Whenever humans grew in population and needed means of storing and organizing information from banks accounts to the basics of your social security, we turned to computers. Whenever new computer technologies are rumored or in the air there is usually some sort of “w” word involved. These “w” words consist of war, want, will, and of course, the “why not?” to list a few. The internet’s basic fundamental functions are here thanks to our military needing more efficient ways to send messages. This can be said for just about every aspect a computer has to offer. They all depend on some WANT or NEED of society.

citation review

After today's class I have a pretty good grasp on the ciation format. Using sources correctly is as valuable as sticking to the main object of the paper. 2 more sources to go

http://www.ehow.com/facts_4813487_uses-computers-education.html

&

http://www.ehow.com/list_6523687_10-ways-computers-used-medicine.html

Their nice, simple, and to the point. Now just to make sure they are permitted.

Jackpot

I hit the jackpot for sources as long as I can use Ehow.com. They provide examples of how computers help in the fields of Medicine and Education. These, as well as a few journals on the matter should aid in building a strong paper.

Research has been going well and Im looking at about 6 good sources as of now. Any reccomendations on some other possibilities of data findings I could access via the Internet?

The first of many

I have thought about using a source from the 90's on "using computers to support a teachers professional development".

http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/40188589?searchUrl=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3Dcomputers%2B%26acc%3Doff%26wc%3Don&Search=yes&uid=3739936&uid=2134&uid=2&uid=70&uid=4&uid=3739256&sid=21100689836981

Then, using a more current source such as one from 2011 or 2012 I will further back up the 90's source with more positive research on computers aid in the teaching field.

Up and rolling

Have had a slow start to finding research so far, until today. Throughout the day I saw many examaples of how useful computers truly are and it inspired me to write a good portion of my introduction.

Today in my public speaking class we were given examples of arguments that apply to today's time. One that stuck out to me was involving an opinion that computers are too much of our lives these days. I oppose that statement, and would like to do my research of figuring out exactly why computers are almost not a big enough part of our everyday lives.

Not entirely positive on what I will be writing about for my final paper, I at least wanted to establish a blog today and get things going. I should be coming to a conclusion on what will be wrote about within the next two days.
