So it only took 3 weeks for work to interrupt my Uni life. After working Sunday night until 1am I had every intention of making it to the Lecture at 10am... Unfortunately my body had other ideas and wanted to sleep, so I missed my first (and only) lecture. But luckily I can read the lecture notes online, but it's not the same as being there and seeing and hearing the presentation. From the notes it seems the lecture was a bit of a history lesson on computers and the internet.
Right so the Tute spark for this week is: to find at least 3 (three) examples of digital devices that are not electronic.
This task seems impossible because to me "digital" means the "1" & "0" system used by electronic devices. So then I thought of Morse Code... I thought that was a dead end because it is was primarily use via the telegraph, which used electricity. But then I found a site that said that Morse Code could be transmitted by light. This sent me on a search for old boat signals maybe sent by candle light, all I got from this search was more about Morse Code.
Maybe at the lecture there was an explanation as to what is actually ment by "digital" and "not electric". This Tute sparke left me confused and frustrated.
