New Code for Binary System:

These are the symbols I am using to represent the numbers zero and one: 

< represents the number 0

> represents the number 1

The sentence I used to represent this new binary code is: 

Hi, my name is Kalli. 

16, 8, 4, 2, 1

< > < < < = H

< > < < > = I

< < < < < = space 

< > > < > = M

> > < < > = Y

< < < < < = space

< > > > < = N

< < < < > = A

< > > < > = M

< < > < > = E

< < < < < = space

< > < < > = I

> < < > > = S

< < < < < = space

< > < > > = K

< < < < > = A

< > > < < = L

< > > < < = L
< > < < > = I 

"Why do Computers use Binary"

3 new things learned:

1. Phone encodes sound waves as a voltage signal and the headphones decode the voltage signals as sound waves to get sound to your ear. 
2. All computers bases on a base two system.  
3. They use base two binary  because it has the fewest digits, but binary numbers are a lot longer so it takes a longer time to send the numbers into the adder.  

2 new things you don't understand:

1. I don't understand how higher and lower voltages and pressures can create sound without anything else too it.
2. I don't understand why they would use digital and analog signals if they already use the binary system.  

1 thing you would like to know:

1. Do things such sound in an iPhone also use the binary system or just voltage signals? 

Binary Post

1.  Level 4 is the highest level I have gotten to.
2. The hardest part of the binary game is adding up large numbers.
3. I think using binary numbers to count with smaller numbers is easy, but I don't like using it when the numbers get larger.
4. You could use your five fingers as binary numbers.
5. On computers it's less time consuming.

Eliza Blog Post

I didn't find Eliza to be "human-like" because she couldn't keep a conversation going. When you asked her questions she would say that she didn't want to talk about herself.  I also found it annoying that she didn't know what half of the things I was saying meant. To make Eliza more human I would try and give her more questions to ask or answer. I would also broaden her vocabulary and dialogue.  A computer can only express so much. There isn't much emotion that you can express unless it is programmed into the computer. I don't think that computers can be a "human-like" substitute in the future because to do that a human would have to be behind the programming.  This wouldn't be substituting a human it would be like talking to a human through the computer because the program would have to start by a human making it.  

Google Boys

Google was created by Lary Page and Sergey Brin.  They went to the same college and originally hated each other.  While moving forward they faced challenges with competing with other search engines and many law suits.  The key to staying ahead and being ahead of all their competition is by updating links and using a page ranking system.  Searching information is so fast because they have links stored.
