This course introduces students to computers, their components, and how they are applied to our everyday lives. Today computers are integrated into every facet of our environment. While some students may be familiar with different software applications used, all students will be expected to build competency and fluency with all the software introduced. The programs that will be used during the course are web browsers, search engines, MS Windows, MS Office, and Front Page for website development.

  This assignment was a final research project in which we were instructed to write a memo on the growing threat of electronic waste in America. We were to research and write about the causes of the problem and possible solutions to fixing it. The only problem encountered in developing this project was in deciding what information to omit from the memo, because I had an abundance of information. This was only a problem because a memo is supposed to be short, outlining the most important elements to the subject. Thankfully I eventually narrowed down my information and completed the project.

  The best part about this project was actually the information that I learned in researching it. I enjoyed learning something new about what threatens our lively hood on this planet, I don’t like living in the dark. My eyes were opened to this invisible terror that I never considered a threat. In all I think that I put together a well developed memo. According to my professor, I couldn’t have done a better job.
