Reflection: I personally could relate to this chapter because I am into applications and interacting with my instructors, so I know firsthand how efficient these things can be. Also computer programs are vital to education without word processor students nor could teachers type papers or anything or the sort. Teachers rely on different computer software for communication with each other, students/parents. I think this chapter was very vital and put in prospective how important the things are that we may take for granted.
