We are creating a VOKI to review IPOS- Input, Processing, Output, and Storage

What is the Cloud? http://www.gcflearnfree.org/computerbasics
"Cloud computing is the practice of using a network of remote servers
hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than
a local server."

Guided Lesson: How to think of an invention?

Step by Step

Think of an output you want- locker door opens without you twisting lock
What input do you need to make it happen- an eye scan or a face scan or a fingerprint scan
The processor is a cpu if the item is large or a microchip if the item is small
Storage- you might want a place to store your biometrics and your friends so they can open the locker so you could have a hard drive or save to a cloud.

1.     My Name and Period

2.     My invention is a locker that will open for me without using my hands

3.      My input is an eye scan of my retina

4.      My output is the door opening

5.      My processor is a microchip

6.      My storage is on a cloud

7. My invention is a no hands needed locker. My input will be a retina eye scan to verify my identity. My output is when the eye scan is verified the computer will activate the device that will open the door. A fast microchip will be my processor to authenticate or verify it is my eye. I will store my eye information in a cloud for future use. Students should buy this invention because you never have to worry about forgetting your locker combination. (Your paragraph is what you will type into your voki on today or Thursday)
