MUHAMMAD ALIF IRFAN BIN ROSLI's Reflection
The purpose of our group’s study is to identify different amounts of students’ weekly expenses throughout their study in the university. Our group is interested to conduct data collection for this particular topic because we would like to observe the difference of the expenses management between students that has a loan and students without a loan. Several parameters have been used throughout the data collection process using questionnaires and surveys which are loans, allocation on foods, mobile needs, personal needs, books and etc. Variables that are measured are mostly the amount of money used for each type of allocation.

Nowadays, social media are everything to the teenagers , Everything will be said and post on the social media’s especially for those who are photoholic. Photoholic has been defined as someone who constantly like to take pictures everywhere he or she goes.With this era, posting pictures into social mediahas become a trend which also cause the good and the bad effects to the teenagers.
There are fews of pros and cons being a photoholic. Firstly, photoholic helps you to build your self-confidence which important for growth and it also helps in networking.
"You see a lot of reports in the media about the negative impacts of technology use, and we look very carefully at these issues here at UCI," said senior author Gloria Mark, a professor of informatics, according to Science Daily. "But there have been expanded efforts over the past decade to study what's become known as 'positive computing,' and I think this study shows that sometimes our gadgets can offer benefits to users."
However, it may exposed the teenagers to criticism and cyber bully, This is because the pictures may tell different story for other people. People may feel threatened or dissatisfaction with your capabilities and your wealth. Besides that , a lot of cases happened when the teenagers tend to do bad things just to impressed other people when they cannot afford to. These cases usually happened as everyone is chasing the fame started by th photoholic.
Other than that, a photoholic may skip a beautiful live moment as a photoholics are always busy with the camera or phone. Despite,of having few moments pf the nature lively, photoholics also may keeps all the memories to be cherish in the future as every moment wont be forgotten for both the good times as well as the bad. Besides , memories wont stay forever and the pictures were takens to reminds the great time.
People nowadays accept photographs as presented and don’t even bother to verify them,they believed it as it is.They also struggled to identify which sources were legit and which weren't, and often ignored things like the authenticated tick on verified Facebook and Twitter accounts. Most Twitter and Facebook user didn't suspect potential bias in a tweet from an activist group and they just thought that it might or might not be a good data source. Most people couldn’t see any valid reason to mistrust a post , therefore it lead them to believed that the post is real and post or retweet it to other people.
First of all , we should make people understand the real meaning of a photo which is means a made-up issue with an intention to deceive, often geared toward getting clicks. In order to overcome the threat of a fake photo, it’s important to know where it comes from and what makes it tick. Nowadays , people should not easily believe anything that they hear or see , especially ads on the television or on the internet.Mo st of the ads on the television and the internet has been edited or photoshop to make it look interesting, cool and different from other company products ads.If they really interested with the ads, make sure to do a research about the ads or see other people doing review about it. Most of the review can be found on the Youtube. By doing so, people can prevent their self from getting trick by the owner of the ads and also help others from getting trick,this can help to change someone minds which is they wanted to buy the product as a present or the product is for their self but when they saw or heard a lot of negative review about the products they refuse and change their mind to buy the product and decide to choose other product.
People also loves to spread picture or posts without knowing the validity of the news or rumours that their spreading, especially on Facebook,twitter and Instagram.Some did it for fun but ,some did it because they care and some just follow other people.This will cause a riot or problem to the person involved or the victim of the photom. So, before spreading or retweet some news or posts, make sure that the photos is real and editted. Find the source of the news or photos if possible and if the photos is not true, prevent yourself from posting it to others and make sure to report the photos. If you still see people spreading the edited photos , comment on the posts that the photo is fake and tell them to spread the news that this photo is editted.Even though you are not sure that the photo is real or not, it is better not to retweet or post it in order to not harm innocent people.
As the world getting more advanced,this problem also increasing.So, we the younger or next generation which soon will be the future leader that will lead the world should have a good way of thinking and act wisely because the future is in our hand. We are the one who will be responsible that will decide either the world will succeed or fall to pieces.We should spread positive instead of negative.We don’t really know how a simple positive word can affect someone lives,how we can easily change someone lives with just a simple and nice advice.

From academic reference
Computational Thinking (CT) is a problem solving process that includes a number of characteristics and dispositions. CT is essential to the development of computer applications, but it can also be used to support problem solving across all disciplines, including the humanities, math, and science. Students who learn CT across the curriculum can begin to see a relationship between academic subjects, as well as between life inside and outside of the classroom.
So , our Technology and Infomarmation System lecturer managed a program for our class, SCSJ and SCSB so that we can learned computional thinking skill which tought us about how important the information or program that we do can be understand by other people. A good algorithm can make other programmer follow the step by step instruction so that we solve the problem can be done easily.
Our first tast is giving an 'arrow' instruction to other group that will give the same image as we have been given at the beginning of the task, so all of my group members work together as a team to create as simple algorithm as we can so that other group can get the same image as we got. After that, we also must solve the algorithm that was given from other group ( Lim's group) and after 10 minutes, all of us finally complete our task.
Next, we move to other session which we have been given some of plain A4 papers and we have to create a 'paper airplane' , do the algorithm so that other group can create the same 'paper airplane' as we did before. It's also the same concept with the task before, it's make us more clear how important is the algorithm that we do for other people to understands.
On 3 October 2017, our class went to KLCC for Next Big Tech Asia 17 which conducted by our Information Technology lecturers to give us exposure to current and future technology in Information Technology. So we arrived at KLCC at 8 30am and directly went to KLCC’s convention hall where the event were held there. We were given about 2 hours the explore and learn in the hall.
Firstly, there were about 30 stations there where most of the asia’s biggest company and one of then is Intel. The exhibitions is to promote their new products about Smart Cities. So we were nicely invited by all the exhibitors there to listen about their smart cities technology and give us a chance to ask about anything that we are not understand about it. We went to all station and gain a lot of knowledge.
Sharp at 11.30 am , we head to Cyberjaya for our next industrial visit at Telecom Malaysia Research and Development and we arrived at 2.00. There we learn deeper about technology and TM’s RnD programme.Firstly , they brought us to the hall for quick presentation about TM’s RnD programme. So we already know their Directors , Management Team , Awards and Career availability & requirement. After that, we went to their server room and we were allowed to get inside the server and network room. There , the worker explained to us about what the were doing there, their responsibilities and give us some advice about our course.
