How many computers are in the room?
Look around the lab, talk to other students, and try to come up
with a number that represents how many devices meet the criteria
for a "computer". Reply to this discussion question with the
number and your rationale (1­2 sentences) for what constitutes a
computer. Post a reply and/or like at least one student response.
Note: this is a graded portion of the assignment.

100. I counted phones as computers (and assumed everyone in the room had one), and I counted
each Mac/PC as a computer.  I also counted any calculators as a computer (and assumed there
were ~25 in the room, because not every student would have their own with them, but a decent
number would have them).

72. There are a total of 36 desktop computers, however if you infer that each person has a phone,
it would be 72.

total of 78 computers with processing power. All these devices hook up to computer system.

I found 76 computers in the room. I counted all the computers and the phones per student. I also
counted the laptop as well as a printer. I also recorded the robots on the tables because they must

I think a computer is any device that can preform a variety of tasks so I think that there is at least a
72 computers in the room. Counting the 37 computers and 35 phones.

38 MacBooks and about 3 Microsoft computers adds up to 41 computers that look like computers.
About 32 phones because there are about 32 students in the class. 1 telephone, and I think there

I counted 36 computers, i didn't think to check everyones phones so i counted 36 computers. if i
had checked everyones phones, i'm sure i would have counted many more because phones are
computers too, just smaller. so my number is 36, amount of computer i counted, 36.

then there is 25 kids in the room so at least 25 cellphones and on average 65% of kids have head

more space a computer has on it the more it's worth (amount of computers). But I also think that a
