(How can computers predict how we are changing)  By : (Faith mkandawire)   INESTIGATION Identify the Problem

explain the Problem The problem is that need to find a way of how computers can predict how we are changing in our daily lives. Now i have to make some thing that will show how i looked like when i was a baby and it has to show how i look like as i am growing.

Research and Analysis

I have found out that as time passes by technology is growing stronger and the types of computers we use today are not the same as the ones we used in the past.
This also tells us that as were growing the computers we have today will be re - model. And since we are all growing then technology is kind of growing too. Design Brief I will design a hand made collage showing how time has passed since the past.And i must also show how i have changed since i was a baby til now. Product Specification  My product specification must be good information that people understand. Test Plan explain how you will test your product here (you need a separate test for each Item in your product specification) DESIGN  Pictures of my designs

Analysis of my designs this goes with my product specification because i said that i will make a collage showing how time has passed by. this shows how time has passes by because in the future you would see things flying around in the air. Justification for chosen design my chosen design is the second one because i think i worked my hardest on it.

In all the other desins i dont think i thought of a good idea on what icould do so that's why i like this one the most. PLAN

CREATE  Final product   Change made to the original Design I had to change a few things because i didn't think it was perfect so had do some of the things again. Changes made to the original Plan I didn't follow it because i wasn't checking in my planner that to see when the due date is and what i had to do. And i also thought that i needed to put more information than i put on my original plan. I needed to put allot more detail in my work because putting a few things on your plan obviously was not going to be enough. I started off with doing this on gimp but then i figured that, that was too hard so i decide to do it on paint first then put it on gimp when im d I also had to change it because i knew that you had to take four hours to do so i tried working very hard on it. EVALUATE  Results of tests  on my plan i wrote down scan at home if you have scanner. when i was at home about to scan the scanner broke down so i had to do this at school.

Recommendations for improvement I think that next time i could improve by looking more on the deadlines in stead of just working like iv got all the time in the world to do this. and also next time i should think properly of how i am going to plan my collage.

Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle  i think that i could maybe looked at the design cycle and before i started anything then think of my own methods and see which one could maybe go well with investigate or create. because some times you might put information that's meant to go on and put it on create. so if next time i could changed the design cycle i could make the information more useful. I could make sure that the things i write are worth reading and that i should put my feet in the readers shoes and think that if i were reading it would it be interesting.
 * stage || grade || reason || how can i improve ||
 * investigate || 3 || i think i worked hard on it at some point and sometimes i didn't. || i could work harder always and not be too lazy. ||
 * design || 3 || i kind of found it hard to upload my design. || maybe scan my stuff in at an earlier time. ||
 * plan || 5 || i think that i did really well on the table i also tried my best to make look very impressive. || i could have thought more on what to add on the table and what not to add. ||
 * create || 4 || i kind of did my best on this piece of work and i am impressed of the way it came out. || again i did not concentration on what the deadline was and i guess i thought others time. ||
 * evaluate || 5 || This one is the one that i think i did my hardest on and i don't think that i would want to really change anything much in my evaluation. i really put lots of work in this. || i could have put a little more interesting information in my work that people would really be interested in. read. ||
 * attitudes in technology. || 3 || i am not that good at computer technology and it is kind of difficult for me to understand some of the things. || i could try to improve and practice on my computer skills ||
