Alphos: Good morning Sir.
Computer
Wizard: how are you today Alphos.
Alphos: Am fine Sir.
Computer
Wizard: so what brought you to my
computer centre today?
Alphos: Sir, are you a computer
wizard?
Computer
Wizard: yes that just my field. I
treat computer like no man business. I am a lecturer in youmeyou Computer
University, you understand?
Alphos: do you believe yourself
Sir, as computer wizard?
Computer
Wizard: yes!
Alphos: can you defend this now?
Computer
Wizard: yes!
Alphos: hope you wouldn’t mind
I’ll like to know a few things from you?
Computer
Wizard: alright go ahead.
Alphos: what is a computer sir?
Computer
Wizard: it is an electronic device
that accepts data and manipulate on them.
Alphos: okay, but that answer is
not satisfying, I’ll manage it though but if this computer accepts data and
manipulates on them without producing information, has it fulfilled its
purpose?
Computer
Wizard: No!
Alphos: then you missed it and I
caught you on that one. Next question Sir. Someone that writes is called a
writer and a person who publishes is a publisher. One who types is called what.
Computer
Wizard: (thinks for a moment) a
typewriter!
Alphos: caught you again no. 2.
You didn’t get the answer. The answer is a typist. Typewriter is a machine.
Data are transferred in ……………..
Computer
Wizard: flashers, compatibility
diskette aka CD, external hard CD and so on. I can list them up to hmmm, in fact they are more than numbering.
Alphos: firstly, you talk
barbaric. And secondly you failed beyond notice. Before I explain let me make
some corrections. Flash drives and not flashers. Compact disk not compatibility
diskette which is CD. External hard disk and it is not hard CD. Take note.
Transferring of data in your system is beyond your observance and it is done in
bits or junks, the materials listed above are used to store these data. Can we
move ahead?
Computer
Wizard: have a little headache,
tomorrow please. Let me ask you this last question, what is HTTP.
Alphos: Simply hyper text
transfer protocol.
Computer
Wizard: now you see how you failed
it.
Alphos: how Sir? (Looking
confused)
Computer
Wizard: you put s, that is ‘SIMPLY’,
while there was no s’
Alphos: good day sir, I think you
need HTTP.
Computer
Wizard: which is?
