Journal Entry: Unit #1 Entry #3 Go to and use the wayback machine to compare a website that you use to a version of it from 10 or more years ago. Describe the differences you see.

Web 2.0 Web 2.0 describes World Wide Web sites that use technology beyond the static pages of earlier Web sites.World Wide Web Although Web 2.0 suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specification, but rather to cumulative changes in the way Web pages are made and used.World Wide Web A Web 2.0 site may allow users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to Web sites where people are limited to the passive viewing of content.social mediauser-generated contentvirtual communitycontent Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, folksonomies,video sharing sites, hosted services, Web applications, andmashups.

Data What do you think about when you hear the word data? Where can it be found? Where does it come from? What are all the ways that you (or people in general) give off data?

Artificial Intelligence What is intelligence? Are computers intelligent? Can any computer based system be intelligent? What qualities would it have to have?

1. Specify the problem - a first step to solving a problem is to identify it as specifically as possible. It involves evaluating the present state and determining how it differs from the goal state. 2. Analyze the problem - analyzing the problem involves learning as much as you can about it. It may be necessary to look beyond the obvious, surface situation, to stretch your imagination and reach for more creative options. seek other perspectives be flexible in your analysis consider various strands of impact brainstorm about all possibilities and implications research problems for which you lack complete information. Get help. 3. Formulate possible solutions - identify a wide range of possible solutions. try to think of all possible solutions be creative consider similar problems and how you have solved them 4. Evaluate possible solutions - weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each solution. Think through each solution and consider how, when, and where you could accomplish each. Consider both immediate and long-term results. Mapping your solutions can be helpful at this stage. 5. Choose a solution - consider 3 factors: compatibility with your priorities - amount of risk -practicality

Selection Sort A selection sort is a type of sort in which a list is searched for the smallest item in the list and that item is placed in the first position. Then the remaining list is searched for the smallest item and that item is placed in the next position. This process is repeated until there are no items left.

Quicksort Quicksort is a type of sort in which one item is randomly chosed from a list. The remaining items are sorted into two lists, those that are smaller, and those that are bigger than the randomly selected number. The two subsequent lists are then sorted using the same method, and this is repeated until the size of the list is 1. (there is nothing left to sort.)

Minimal Spanning Trees Given a connected, undirected graph, a spanning tree of that graph is a subgraph that is a tree and connects all the vertices together. A single graph can have many different spanning trees. We can also assign a weight to each edge, which is a number representing how unfavorable it is, and use this to assign a weight to a spanning tree by computing the sum of the weights of the edges in that spanning tree.connectedundirected graphspanning treesubgraphtreevertices A minimum spanning tree (MST) or minimum weight spanning tree is then a spanning tree with weight less than or equal to the weight of every other spanning tree.

Selection Sort 10, 5, 3, 8, 4, 1 Perform a selection sort on the data above. Show the list after each pass through the data After 1 st pass: 1, 10, 5, 3, 8, 4 How many passes will it take? How many comparisons will occur?

Quicksort 4, 10, 5, 3, 8, 1 A selection sort is being performed on the data above. Assume that the first number of the list is always chosen as the middle number. What will the list look like after the first pass? How many comparisons will occur before the list is sorted?
