Tonight, I want you to write a report about what is going on in your own home. This is a two part assignment: a statistic report of your computers that you have in your house, and then an interview with a parent about computers.
Part 1: List of Things that Need Programming
Create a room by room list of how many computers you have in your house hold. Think carefully. You are looking for anything that needs to be programmed. [Note, this does not include things that are only mechanical] Go in to EACH room, and look for anything that has a computer in it! When you are done your list should look like (but be a LOT longer than) this: Living Room:

Part 2: Parent Interview about Computers
Then, you need to interview a parent (or parents) about how computers have changed since they were younger. You can ask any questions you want, but here are some ideas that you can useYou are required to write two paragraphs about your parent(s) views on computers. Spelling, grammar, it all counts.
- How old were you when you got a computer in your house? What could it do?
- Do you use computers in your job today? Have you always had to?
- When was the first time you used a computer? What was the hardest part about getting used to it?
- How have computers changed our society and culture? What do you think the next step in computers will be?
- ask others, be creative!
Please do this on Google Drive, and add it to your Share folder when you're done.
Good Luck!
