Minggu ini masuk kepada bab 8 'DIGITAL STORAGE'.
Data storage is the recording (storing) of information (data) in a storage medium. DNA and RNA, handwriting, phonographic recording, magnetic tape, and optical discs are all examples of storage media. Recording is accomplished by virtually any form of energy. Electronic data storage requires electrical power to store and retrieve data.
Data storage in a digital, machine-readable medium is sometimes called digital data. Computer data storage is one of the core functions of a general purpose computer. Electronic documents can be stored in much less space than paper documents.[2] Barcodes and magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) are two ways of recording machine-readable data on paper.

•Advantages and various uses of cloud storage
•Characteristics of optical discs
•Enterprise storage options
Pada minggu terakhir pembelajaran kami telah ditugaskan untuk membuat flyers yang bertemakan 'ayam ladangku' dengan mengunakan aplikasi 'Adobe Illustrator'.
So, this is 10 steps to make the flyer:
CONTOH:
Adobe Illustrators is a vector-based creative program designed for those involved with graphic design. Instead of using bitmap images to store data, this program used algorithms to draw shapes. That is why the vector graphics created within Illustrator can be scaled to any size without losing their quality or overall resolution.
Because of this unique design, Adobe Illustrator is used to make everything from business logos to detailed illustrations to animated concepts. It can print layouts, create stunning website graphics, and give users complete control over their typography.
It allows you to work on multiple images in a similar fashion all at once, which makes you much more productive than the other programs which force you to work on one image at a time. Jadi, dengan menggunakan adobe illustrator ini dapat menghasilkan imej grafik yang lebih cantik dan jelas. Ianya juga mudah untuk digunakan dan boleh dijadikan sebagai sumber rezeki.Setelah kuliah terakhir, saya dapati subjek MKA 2013 ini banyak membantu saya dalam menghasilkan kerja-kerja menggunakan teknologi dengan lebih baik dan efisien. Malah, banyak perkara baharu yang saya telah perolehi sepanjang kelas ini yang selama ini tidak saya ketahui. Sekian, terima kasih.
