The purpose of this assignment was to teach us about all the necessary and optional parts related to computers. We had learned about how each of the parts works, what they do, how do they work/function and the future trends of the part. I was assigned Scanners and had to go in depth about them. I had to research various scanners and find information on them. We then had to present it to the class and share our knowledge because we are the experts. I learned a lot more than I expected about Scanners than I originally expected. I learned things such as how a important a scanner can be. For example, taking a photo with a smartphone and a scanner. With a scanner cover led, it blocks out other light sources causing a better quality picture. With a phone, nothing is covering it so it will not have a good quality.
