HRM 3450 Lecture 1 Notes – expressions of Books
Introduction
• Some of the expressions used in these articles and ads are obvious from the context.
• Other references may be more obscure.
• Presual, eeroe toda kos hat a displa oitor is.
• But ho a people ko the eaig ad sigifiae of the ters ahe eor
or ultitaskig or PCI Epress us?
• Yet all these expressions have appeared recently in daily newspaper advertisements
with the assumption that people would understand the meaning of the ad.
• Despite the jargon, there is obviously no need to understand the inner workings of most
modern computer-based systems to operate them adequately.
• Indeed, in many cases the presence of the computer is hidden from us, or embedded,
and its operation invisible to us as users.
• Even as experienced users, we can run standard software packages on a personal
computer without understanding exactly how they work
• We can program a computer in a high-level language without understanding the details
of how the machine executes the individual instructions
• We can design and implement Web pages without understanding how the Web browser
gets its pages from a Web server or how the Web server creates those pages
• We can purchase a computer system from a salesperson without understanding the
specifications of the system.
• And yet, there is something missing.
• Perhaps the pakage doest do eatl hat e at, ad e dot uderstad the
ahie ell eough to risk foolig aroud ith the pakages options.
• Perhaps if we understood the system better we might have written and configured the
program to be faster and more efficient.
• Perhaps we could create Web pages that load faster and work better.
• Perhaps the salesperson did not sell us the optimum system for our job.
