Highlighting Student Voices--Noah Sanders: DOS 2 GP

The most important technological invention to benefit society is the simple-to- use Graphic Processing. Graphic processing changed the way computers work; instead of typing in DOS command, everything is displayed literally with graphics to make the use of a computer more convenient and easier to use. Present day, a lot of people have access to computers, and a lot of people know how to use them; thanks to the incredible self-explanatory way to use Graphic Processing. In addition to incredible ease, Graphic Processing also overrules the inconvenience of DOS command. Rather than having to type several commands for procedures such as starting the computer, pulling up precious files, or even running a compact disc (CD/DVD), all sorts of tasks are only a few clicks away. Finally, aspects of life fall into place, and weave themselves into the fabric of technology and humans. Communication is a snap, sharing is made easy, and entertainment becomes a breeze. Despite the fact that home computing technology is ever growing at an increasing rate, one can never forget where it all started becoming easier; with Graphic Computing.

Which would be easier; Typing for everything needed; or clicking and navigating smoothly for everything needed? Computers were built to help accomplish tasks. Although all computers are not “home computing” computers, they still help get the job done. In a factory, for example, machines which mass produce. What controls the machines?; computers. With home computers available to the public, surfing the web and finding needed information becomes as simple as a flick of the wrist. Most cellular devices even come equipped with some kind of internet connection. With all the simplicities of Graphic computing, the inconvenience of DOS commands are a thing of the past.

Picture this; a world where writing down as many codes that just cannot be committed to memory becomes a nonexistent obstacle. Tasks like saving valuable documents are all done with a few simple clicks. Sending pictures over the internet is done with the greatest of ease. Running CDs or DVDs is as nonchalant as pushing a button twice; to make it even easier, the same button. Taking a video is done in a few thoughtless steps; and sharing them is even easier. Organizing and relaxing to music takes such little effort. Without having to memorize such confusing codes to make a certain function, life on the computer becomes that of a vacation. Not only does Graphic Processing allow solo activities to become more enjoyable and easy, but also it increases interaction with other people from around the world.

While self activities can be enjoyable and unwinding, Graphic Processing also made it possible for increased communication; via the internet. There are plenty of ways to communicate with another human being through a computer. Chat rooms and Instant Messaging programs come free and by the millions. Another great aspect about the internet is how sharing files takes a matter of seconds. Word documents, multimedia, pictures, spreadsheets, and even slide show presentations can all be sent through the internet thus maximizing the power of sharing. What better way to have a voice heard than through text; where reading is a better way to take consideration of one’s thoughts and words? Other utilities such as Wikis and Blogs are a superb way to share thoughts and information. The internet is a fantastic tool open to anyone who desires to use it; This is all made possible because of the benefits delivered from Graphic Processing.

When a computer is utilized by the user; the common routine would be to turn it on, and log in. Without Graphic Processing it would not be that way. Instead, it would be much more challenging, and could be done a few times incorrect before the computer was successfully turned on. Due to this significant change, more and more people are able to access just what they are looking for without the hassle of memorization. Not only does this allow more people to operate them, but also it increases sharing and interactivity. Think of all the marvelous tidbits of information and discoveries can be shared and passed along on an infinite space in which cannot be seen, and accessed by anyone who seeks it. Just about every computer left on the entire planet is built with Graphic Processing. It is the cornerstone of computers today, and it will always be the biggest technological change in history.
