This past week we learned about protecting yourself from ID theft, How information is stored on hard drives, and basic information about the different parts of a computer. The lecture that I found to must relevant to concept of an event calendar, for sports organizations, would be the one about the components of the computer. I remember specifically from the lecture that Professor Rubin was talking about how different jobs and tasks require a computer to have different capabilities to best utilize the computer. I though that this could directly apply to my idea.
For the creation and maintenance of this calendar I think that you would need a computer with a really good CPU, and ALU, to carry out the creation of this calendar. Another aspect of the computer that i think would be related to my idea would be the RAM of the computer. I believe to make this idea happen you would need a computer with great RAM because this calendar would need you to have many different application open and a lot of pages on the internet to gather the information. Specifically I believe that one computer could be used for the design of the calendar with 2 to 8 GB of RAM.
The comment from the GA suggested for my idea of the event calendar that the creation of an aggregation site could be useful for all the different schedules for all the organizations. I believe that this is a great idea and that it would also affect the amount of computing power I would need to create, collect and synchronize the information from different sources on the internet, and would be a great thing to think about for my idea.
Excellent job tying this back to lecture. You mention the 'how' side regarding how you would use hardware. But, it might benefit you to think more about the 'why'. Why does it make sense to incorporate hardware in these different ways? How are other athletic calendar applications using hardware effectively?
