Tori's CIS 120 Blog

I read Michael Rosenblum's article,  Disposable Society , on Huffington Post regarding his MacBook Pro and his 1912 Underwood. After a "battery expansion" his MacBook Pro is now dead and irreparable while his 100+ year old typewriter still works great. Both are considered obsolete technology, the laptop because it's older than 5 years old and the typewriter because it's a typewriter. I find this amusing because I have a MacBook Pro that needs to be replaced and I have several typewriters that could be used in a pinch if the internet or my computer went down and  I had to get the paper to a professor.

I'm taking CIS 120 because it was recommended by the transfer advisor at OSU Cascades for my Bachelor of Science. In reviewing the class description I realized that I'm well versed in a majority of the topics to be covered. I opted to take the course from Peter Casey because I worked with Donna in the Math Department as a work study; hence the name of my blog after that damn shaky dog, Tater.
