TÓPICO 2 Caro acadêmico(a), para melhor fixar o conteúdo apresentado neste tópico, sugerimos que você resolva a seguinte atividade: Leia o texto abaixo e responda às questões: Social Networking Sites by Kenneth Beare Social Networks Do the names MySpace, Facebook, Orkut, etc. ring a bell? They probably do because they are some of the most popular sites on the internet today. These sites are all called 'social networking' sites because they help people meet and discuss things online. Each of these social networking sites has its 5UNIASSELVI NEAD GABARITO DAS AUTOATIVIDADES I N G L Ê S T É C N I C O own strengths: MySpace is especially popular among teenagers, Facebook is popular with college age people, Orkut is especially loved in Brazil, and CyWorld is the site to visit in South Korea. The common thread between all of these social networks is that they provide a place for people to interact, rather than a place to go to read or listen to 'content'. Web 2.0 Social networks are considered to be web 2.0. What does this mean? To understand this, it's important to understand what the original web did (often called web 1.0). Back in the nineties, the internet - or web - was a place to go to read articles, listen to music, get information, etc. Most people didn't contribute to the sites. They just 'browsed' the sites and took advantage of the information or resources provided. Of course, some people did create their own sites. However, creating a site was difficult. You needed to know basic HTML coding (the original language the internet uses to 'code' pages). It certainly wasn't something most people wanted to do as it could take hours to get a basic page just right. Things began to get easier when blogs (from web log) were introduced. With blogs, many more people began writing 'posts', as well as commenting on other people's blogs. MySpace Surprises Everybody In 2003 a site named MySpace took the internet by storm. It was trying to mimic the most popular features of Friendster, the first social networking site. It quickly became popular among young users and the rest was history. Soon everyone was trying to develop a social networking site. The sites didn't provide 'content' to people, they helped people create, communicate and share what they loved including music, images and videos. They key to the success of these sites is that they provide a platform on which users create the content. This is very different from the beginning of the internet which focused on providing 'content' for people to enjoy. Key to Success Relying on users to create content is the key to the success of web 2.0 companies. Besides the social networking sites discussed here, other huge success stories include: Wikipedia, Digg.com and the latest success - Twitter. All of these companies rely on the desire of users to communicate with each other, thereby creating the 'content' that others want to consume.

For more information about Instagram, or if you need support, please visit our support center. 1.1.1 What is Instagram? Instagram is a fun and quirky way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures. Snap a photo with your mobile phone,then choose a filter to transform the image into a memory to keep around forever. We're building Instagram to allow you to experience moments in your friends' lives through pictures as they happen. We imagine a world more connected through photos. 8 GABARITO DAS AUTOATIVIDADES UNIASSELVI NEAD I N G L Ê S T É C N I C O 1.1.2 How much is your app? $0.00 - available for free in the Apple App Store and Google Play store. 1.1.3 Where does the name come from? When we were kids we loved playing around with cameras. We loved how different types of old cameras marketed themselves as "instant" - something we take for granted today. We also felt that the snapshots people were taking were kind of like telegrams in that they got sent over the wire to others - so we figured why not combine the two? 1.1.4 How did the idea come about? We love taking photos. We always assumed taking interesting photos required a big bulky camera and a couple years of art school. But as mobile phone cameras got better and better, we decided to challenge that assumption. We created Instagram to solve three simple problems: 1. Mobile photos always come out looking mediocre. Our awesome looking filters transform your photos into professional-looking snapshots. 2. Sharing on multiple platforms is a pain - we help you take a picture once, then share it (instantly) on multiple services. 3. Most uploading experiences are clumsy and take forever - we've optimized the experience to be fast and efficient. 1.1.5 What other services are you compatible with? Currently, you can share your photos on a photo-by-photo basis on Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter. Additionally, if you specify a location with your photo, you can opt to have us check you in on Foursquare. Going forward, we plan on supporting additional services but have nothing else to announce at this time. FONTE: Disponível em: <http://instagram.com/about/faq/>.

UNIDADE 2 TÓPICO 1 Caro(a) acadêmico(a), para melhor fixar o conteúdo apresentado neste tópico, sugerimos que você resolva a seguinte atividade: 1 Realize a leitura do texto a seguir utilizando a técnica de skimming. Do que se trata esse texto? Você já possui algum conhecimento prévio (prediction) sobre esse assunto? R.: Computadores. 10 GABARITO DAS AUTOATIVIDADES UNIASSELVI NEAD I N G L Ê S T É C N I C O 1.1 What are computers? Computers are machines that perform tasks or calculations according to a set of instructions, or programs. The first fully electronic computers, introduced in the 1940s, were huge machines that required teams of people to operate. Compared to those early machines, today's computers are amazing. Not only are they thousands of times faster, they can fit on your desk, on your lap, or even in your pocket. Computers work th rough an in te rac t ion o f hardware and software. Hardware refers to the parts of a computer that you can see and touch, including the case and everything inside it. The most important piece of hardware is a tiny rectangular chip inside your computer called the central processing unit (CPU), or microprocessor. It's the "brain" of your computer—the part that translates instructions and performs calculations. Hardware items such as your monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer, and other components are often called hardware devices, or devices. Software refers to the instructions, or programs, that tell the hardware what to do. A word-processing program that you can use to write letters on your computer is a type of software. The operating system (OS) is software that manages your computer and the devices connected to it. Windows is a well-known operating system. 1.2 ENIAC Introduced in 1946, ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first general-purpose electronic computer. It was built for the United States military to calculate the paths of artillery shells. Physically, ENIAC was enormous, weighing more than 27,000 kilograms (60,000 pounds) and filling a large room. To process data, ENIAC used about 18,000 vacuum tubes, each the size of a small light bulb. The tubes burned out easily and had to be constantly replaced. 1.3 Types of computers Computers range in size and capability. At one end of the scale are supercomputers, very large computers with thousands of linked microprocessors that perform extremely complex calculations. At the other end are tiny computers embedded in cars, TVs, stereo systems, calculators, and appliances. These computers are built to perform a limited number of tasks. 11UNIASSELVI NEAD GABARITO DAS AUTOATIVIDADES I N G L Ê S T É C N I C O The personal computer, or PC, is designed to be used by one person at a time. This section describes the various kinds of personal computers: desktops, laptops, handheld computers, and Tablet PCs. 1.3.1 Desktop computers Desktop computers are designed for use at a desk or table. They are typically larger and more powerful than other types of personal computers. Desktop computers are made up of separate components. The main component, called the system unit, is usually a rectangular case that sits on or underneath a desk. Other components, such as the monitor, mouse, and keyboard, connect to the system unit. Desktop computer Laptops and netbooks Laptops are lightweight mobile PCs with a thin screen. Laptops can operate on batteries, so you can take them anywhere. Unlike desktops, laptops combine the CPU, screen, and keyboard in a single case. The screen folds down onto the keyboard when not in use. Netbooks (also referred to as mini notebooks), are small, affordable laptops that are designed to perform a limited number of tasks. They’re usually less powerful than laptops, so they’re used mainly to browse the web and check e-mail. 12 GABARITO DAS AUTOATIVIDADES UNIASSELVI NEAD I N G L Ê S T É C N I C O A laptop and a netbook Smartphones Smartphones are mobile phones that have some of the same capabilities as a computer. You can use a smartphone to make telephone calls, access the Internet, organize contact information, send e-mail and text messages, play games, and take pictures. Smartphones usually have a keyboard and a large screen. Smartphone Handheld computers Handheld computers, also called personal digital assistants (PDAs), are battery-powered computers small enough to carry almost anywhere. Although not as powerful as desktops or laptops, handheld computers are useful for scheduling appointments, storing addresses and phone numbers, and playing games. Some have more advanced capabilities, such as making telephone calls or accessing the Internet. Instead of keyboards, handheld computers have touch screens that you use with your finger or a stylus (a pen-shaped pointing tool). 13UNIASSELVI NEAD GABARITO DAS AUTOATIVIDADES I N G L Ê S T É C N I C O Handheld computer Tablet PCs Tablet PCs are mobile PCs that combine features of laptops and handheld computers. Like laptops, they’re powerful and have a built-in screen. Like handheld computers, they allow you to write notes or draw pictures on the screen, usually with a tablet pen instead ofa stylus. They can also convert your handwriting into typed text. Some Tablet PCs are “convertibles” with a screen that swivels and unfolds to reveal a keyboard underneath.

It was introduced as a natural step in the movement to putting more and more components – resistors, capacitors, transistors – on to a single chip, by eletronic component manufactures. Each chip can perform the function of a simple central processor, i.e. obey a series of instructions, fetch and send data from and to a memory, test for interrupts and soon, but usually relatively slowly. It takes for example a hundred millionths rather than one millionth of a second to add two numbers, and these numbers have to be of limited size. Nevertheless, the miniature programs which control the operation can carry out quite complicated operations on bigger numbers by tackling them a piece at a time. Another use for microprocessors is in managing a ‘memory’, i.e. decoding demands for data from another central processor, and interrogating the core storage, checking for errors etc. There are two ways in which microprocessors may make a big impact. One is in the Field of process control at the small end of the range: bus engines or petrol pumps or even washing machines controlled economically by microprocessors. Secondly, the microprocessor may be used in large numbers as a substitute for a single, big processor, to do certain kinds of computation where calculations can proceed in parallel, as in weather forecasting. In essence each microprocessor has acess to its own memory for holding the results of intermediate calculations, and also can send and obtain values from other microprocessors. All the microprocessors operate at once, so the ‘ripples’ of computation travel across an array of them.

TÓPICO 2 Caro(a) acadêmico(a), para melhor fixar o conteúdo apresentado neste tópico, sugerimos que você resolva a seguinte atividade: Leia o texto a seguir e responda aos questionamentos: Types of Programming Errors There are two general types of errors that programmers make: syntax or coding errors and logic errors. A syntax or coding error occurs when the programmer fails to follow the rules on how a particular instruction is to be written. For example, if a programmer misspelled the word WRITE in an instruction, the computer would print out a diagnostic message to inform the programmer that a coding error had been 20 GABARITO DAS AUTOATIVIDADES UNIASSELVI NEAD I N G L Ê S T É C N I C O made, the statement in which it occured, and the nature of the error. As a result of the severity of these errors, the computer was unable to completely understand the program and consequently the program was not executed. Compilers level of sophistication that allows them to make corrective assumptions concerning common coding errors. For example, if a programmer omitted a required comma in an instruction, the compiler would print out an appropriate diagnostic message and proceed with the compilation as if the comma had been present. Once the programmer has removed all the coding errors, the compiler is able to understand and translate the programmer’s instructions. However, when executed, the translated instructions may not be appropriate to solve the problem. Errors resulting from an incorrect sequence of instructions are referred to as logic errors. If the programmer added when he should have subtracted, for example, he would have made an error in the program logic – a logic error. There are no fixed rules on how debugging a program containing logic errors should be accomplished because the kinds of bugs that can occur are so varied. (Taken from “Introduction to the Computer” by Willian Fuori) 1 Escolha T (true) para as afirmações verdadeiras e F (false) para as falsas de acordo com o texto: a) Há somente dois tipos de erros em programação.

TÓPICO 3 Leia o texto a seguir e responda aos questionamentos: DATA BASE The term “data base” has yet to achieve a widely accepted standard meaning. However, it is to some extent accepted as conveying a more sophisticated concept than the older term “file”, which was carried over into data processing terminology from the precomputer era. Unfortunately, it is all too frequently used when all that is implied is a conventional file. The difference between a data base and a file, in terms used prior to the advent of data processing, is perhaps analogous to the difference between a thoroughly cross-referenced set of files in cabinets in a library or in an Office and a single file in one cabinet which is not cross-referenced in any way. 22 GABARITO DAS AUTOATIVIDADES UNIASSELVI NEAD I N G L Ê S T É C N I C O The important difference is that the “data base” must be stored in the computer on direct-acess storage (such as disks) in order for the computer’s central processing unit to be able to utilize the cross-references within a reasonable time. By contrast, a set of cross-referenced files could be theoretically stored on magnetic tape. However, the computer would then spend unacceptable amounts of time searching the tapes because it is not possible to Access a specific data record on tape without passing over all other data preceding it on the tape. Despite this disadvantage, however, magnetic tape is likely to remain the principal storage médium for archival computer files for many years to come, in view of its relatively low cost and high retention qualities. The term “cross-reference” is not usually used when talking about a data base, the most usual term being “relation”. One speaks of a relationship existing between types of records in a data base. A record type is analogous to a color- coded folder in a filing cabinet where different record types are segregated by varied colors. An individual folder may contain a reference to one or more other individual folders elsewhere in a set of cabinets. A referenced folder may have the same or a different color code as the folder that references it. In the data base, such relationships are stored in such a way that searching for records can be done directly without extensive cross-checking. Thus, the user has considerably more flexibility in the way in which he precesses the data. Taken from ‘Encyclopedia of Computer Science” by Relston and Mek 1 Use T (true) para as frases verdadeiras e F (false) para as falsas de acordo com o texto: a) There is no difference between a data-base and a file.
