Mission Statement:
Our technology class runs smoothly
and all members treat each other and the work with respect
AP CSP
a computer is…
a device that accepts input, stores data, and processes it in some way to produce an output
| Purpose | The intended goal or objective of the innovation |
| Function | How the innovation works (consumes/produces data) |
| Effect | An impact, result, outcome of the innovation - Explain and put into context |
| Feature | An "extra" attribute or aspect of an innovation |
| Culture | A group of people: example - football players, students with asthma |
| Economy | A group of people with similar economic interests, or whose jobs or industry are similar (Netflix put Blockbuster out of business) |
| Society | Be specific - whose society? which society? |
| Data | Think of what types of files are being used, saved, sent - what is the input and output? Not the sensors or transmission method (cameras, cables, chip readers, etc) |
| Storage | How big are the files? how will everything be stored? What problems are there? |
| Security | What might happen if data is accessed? Hacking can be mentioned here. |
| Privacy | What can someone do with the data if they are able to get it? |
