BI Envrio

What is a Business Intelligence Environment? And how does a BI have anything to do with technology?

Getting the fullness of your business is essential to keeping your business strong. With Technology we find that we can have a high statistical change in business effectiveness if we improve our Business Intelligence Environment. Our BI environment can be drastically changed if keep our software and hardware updated as well as the people who run and manage them.

Business Technology is a whole new area of industry specifically tailored toward making Business software, hardware and firmware to detail our business's worldwide.

I just recently found out what the term BI actually means, but I've always though how business can be effected through Technology. A good study for any IT student would be to find the correlations between Technology and Business development. Increasing Business Technology is a great way to make your business run smoother and faster. 

Alan Turing

So I'm reading a paper by Alan Turing and in it he asks the questions, can machines think? 

So of course this got me thinking, can machines think? Do they have a expression of thought that we could examine. 

In some ways, they already do, but the logic they used is fixed and rarely makes errors like we would assume. 

The reason a computer (for the most part) accomplishes billions of tasks a second is because it is sending information at an incredible speed through a logic pattern that doesn't change. 

These logic patterns however evolve into more unique and specific patterns as computers develop. 

Turing was one of the several men who developed the Turing machine to break the enigma code during WW2. He also wrote a ton of very important mathematical documentation that is still used by code-breakers and mathematicians today. 

Check out some of Turing's work and analysis of numbers online and be informed :) 

Internet Hall of Fame

Mahabir Pun

Check out Mahabir Pun an Internet hall of famer famous for making a wire-less networking company in Nepal. His desire was to make sure his people had access to the Internet for education, healthcare etc. He has an educational master's degree and has also received a Honorary Doctorate. Mahabir and people like him are the inspiration behind rising Internet moguls and inventor's as we try to come together and educate the world into a better state.

You can find out more about him, and his story @

Colossus:

What was Colossus?

Colossus was one of the first major movements of Computer Technology recorded in history, this machine helped in WW2 to decrypt codes that prevented ally forces from getting communications and knowledge of enemy whereabouts.

This Computer was the first large scale device that could actually function difficult mathematical functions and symbols. 

A eager beginning most bypass the Colossus on their way to understanding today's technology and look towards the first PC, Lisa, and other computational devices of the 80's and 90's.

Although the Colossus was huge, it isn't even close to the data-transfer rates of today and could only transfer data in specific "counts" which were documented and then translated. It ran on a thin paper-tape and didn't have an assorted memory module like today's devices.

Who was involved?

Turtle Time

import turtle

def draw_triangle(side_length, depth):
    if depth == 0:
        return
    
    counter = 0
    while counter < 3:
        counter += 1
        brad.forward(side_length/2)
        if depth > 1:
            brad.left(120)
        draw_triangle(side_length/2, depth-1)
        brad.forward(side_length/2)
        
        brad.right(120)
        
    brad.left(240)
    
    

if __name__ == "__main__":
    window = turtle.Screen()
    window.bgcolor("white")
    
    brad = turtle.Turtle()
    brad.shape("turtle")
    brad.color("green", "green")
    brad.speed(5)
    
    brad.begin_fill()
    brad.right(120)
    brad.forward(128)
    brad.left(120)
    brad.forward(256)
    brad.left(120)
    brad.forward(256)
    brad.left(120)
    brad.forward(128)
    brad.left(120)
    brad.end_fill()
    brad.color("green", "white")
    brad.begin_fill()
    draw_triangle(128, 3)
    brad.end_fill()


    window.exitonclick()





   

Question:




What does the last bit of Code do?




The last bit of Code which happens to be window.exitonclick() shuts down the window when you click. :)




The window variable is = to the turtle screen which displays the program itself. Python already knows what exitonclick means through built-in method retrievals.
