The years after 1970s is called as “Information Age” We (as students and instructors) all need for information at different times for different purposes (like assignments, research papers, articles) Question is where to find the correct information ?

21. Reporting the Findings Example: Ali is given a task to search about “history of computers” and write a homework about it in high school. History of Computers The development of the modern day computer was the result of advances in technologies and man's need to quantify. Papyrus helped early man to record language and numbers. The abacus was one of the first counting machines.. Some of the earlier mechanical counting machines lacked the technology to make the design work. For instance, some had parts made of wood prior to metal manipulation and manufacturing. Imagine the wear on wooden gears. Ali Mert 379 25.11.201521

24. Reporting the Findings History of Computers Developments in the technology resulted with the today’s modern computer. It is emphasized that the basic principle that started the idea of computers is counting. The first counting device is known as abacus. Early counting machines were mechanical and do not have any technology. Even wood were used in the old abacus before metal part usage.

25. Reporting the Findings Example: Ali is given an assignment to write a paper about “history of computers” in university. 25.11.201525 What Ali should do? 1.Search for information from different resources 2.Find at least 5 resource 3.Write one page paper by combining findings from that 5 resource.
