【Memoirs】 Week#1 Sep 12th First Day of CSC104HF1

Lecture

This was the first day of class, we arrived at SF 1101,some of students did feel excited. Be honest, the major reason for me taking this course is someone did tell that this course is really really easy... 
Anyway, we came to the lecture, our handsome professor Danny Heap gave us some intrustions about this course and we went to labs in BA to set up our CDF account. 

We learned that computers and networks change society, like privacy, property, democracy, work, education etc. Make them better or worse.

Two tracks in this course:
1. History of computing technology, overview of modern computing OS, social issues.
2. Insight into computing mindset: problem-solving and programs.

Some advices about hwo to do well in this course:
1. Read the course information sheer as a two-way promise
2. Question, answer, record, synthrsize
3. Collaborate with respect
