BLACKBOX PROJECT 1:
"THE EXPLINATION"
Blackbox? What the hell is that! Seriously....what did I get myself in for? Who is Sandy Stone? What is the ACTlab? Shit...i better escape now....
No no no! Don't run! This is fun. Welcome to the world of Blackbox.
So what is blackbox all about? What does the term even mean? Well, for my first project of this innovative class, I decided to take command and explain to the extremely frightened ACTlab virgins what this class was going to be all about. With the help of my partner in crime Adam, I took the meaning of blackbox to its most simplist form, something everyone could relate to....
THE COMPUTER!!
So just imagine your computer as a blackbox. You put information into it and things that you don't know or care to understand take place inside and bam! Information is thrown back out at you before you even have time to comprehend what happened. Oh the joys of computers. Well my friends, the computer is the most widely recognized form of a blackbox. Information in.....information out. We don't worry about anything in between until...
IT BREAKS! Holy mother of Jesus....what do you mean my computer isn't working? That's not fair! That isn't supposed to happen. It's immortal. Well...unfortunatly this is the only time we care to uncover the blackbox and take a look inside. And to our amazement....there is a whole world inside that box that we had no idea about.
Adam and I stood on the table and threw broken computer parts all over the place. We were uncovering the blackbox of the PC and trying to entice the entire class into the world of Blackbox. I think we succeeeded in breaking the term down into its' simplist form and giving people some hope. Project 1 was a success!
