Learning Objectives and Outcomes
This assignment addresses the key concept “Computer measurements of speed related to data transfer.”
The expected learning outcomes that will result from completing the assignment are:
You will be able to compare different computers based on the size of their hard drives, processor speeds, and amount of RAM.
You will be able to describe various ways people use computers based on their lifestyles and professions.
You will be able to explain what type of computer (desktop, notebook) is preferred based on a user’s computing and working needs.
Assignment Requirements
1. Select four different computers with different hard disk capacities, amounts of RAM, and processor speeds. Two computers should be desktop models and two should be notebooks.

2. Choose three different professions (such as educator, doctor, lawyer, engineer, graphic designer, author, movie maker, or scientist) and describe what type of computer might be needed in that line of work. Base your judgments on hard disk capacity, RAM size, and processor speed (or even the number of processors).
Required Resources
In addition to having read Chapter 2 to become familiar with the measurements and numeric units used with computers, you may want to search the Internet for computer models and/or the job responsibilities required by a particular profession. Alternately, you may wish to personally interview an individual about his or her profession and related computer use.
