Exercise - What do you know?
Choose a card from a "hat" with one computer concept printed on it. Your challenge will be to develop a short description of the person or concept based upon what you know and what you can gather from other class members. This is not a graded exercise! Let's just see where we are.
If you don't like your choice, you may try to trade with someone. It may be that there is some other person in class who knows your term; try to find them!
