Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

INTRODUCTION
This book explore what computers are, their usages and their functionalities. Computers
can be used to learn or comprehend the understanding of all subjects, be it physics,
aerobics, swimming, biology, mathematics, agriculture, chemistry, business
administration or commerce, just to name a few. In education, computers are used to
project information to individuals in the classrooms or anywhere education is taking
place, in churches, homes, schools, conference halls and so on. It is also used to
convey the logic of a subject or behind a topic. Computers play an important role in
educating our mind. With the usage of computers, we are able to learn, we are able to
devise new ways of doing things.
The use of computers in education allows us to convey instructions or ideas by all
means. Globalizations of the entities comprising the learning processes are the
computer configurations in actual facts.

Types of Computers
There are various types of computers in the today’s global market. The first calculating
device was invented by Charles Babbage, a Mathematician; and this device is known as
Abacus which led to the invention of computers. If one looks immensely on what we
mean by computers or what computers are, one may say that all entities of the world
are computers. The inventions of computers are based on inferences and inductive
thinking. Without human knowledge computers cannot function. We as human beings
depend on computers to perform sophisticated tasks that we cannot perform; and
somehow one has to instruct or program the computer to carry out or perform our desire
functions.
We have computers of the centuries ago and computers of today, and those of the
future in progress. Actually there are two types of computers come to functionality. We
have analogue and digital computers. Digital computers may be termed as electronic
devices; they are computers without fluidity. They function with the flow of atmosphere
whereas analogue types of computers depend on physical attributes of the atmosphere.
Most of the analogue computers are of ages; they are built more than two to four
centuries ago whereas digital computers are of the modern version. This is not to say
that digital computers had not been in existence years ago. There are generations of
computers which are up six or more generations. Computers are the extensions of the
mind physically and mentally. Analogue computers could be considered to be mental or
analogy entities and digital computer to be physical or visual or literary entities.
Basically, analogue computers are the types of computers which solve problems
10. P a g e | - 9 -
intrinsically by leaving the solutions afloat. With analogue computers one has to use
deductive rather than inductive thinking to arrive at a final or desire solution while digital
computers give one the actual solution or direct answer. We also have computers that
are combinations of analogues and digitals in the modern society. These types of
computers are embedded computers such as refrigerators, microwave oven, cars,
bathroom scales, just to name a few.
All technological equipment is to be considered computers of some sort. We
now have digital computer markers, pens, phones, drinking glasses, televisions,
printers, and handheld devices. Some analogue computers are electric water dams,
rotary phones, analogue watches, typewriters and bicycles. Computers have come a
long way and the evolution of the technology has surpassed human endearments.
Technology has the entities of foreseen products around the world. As long as we built
bridges between intellectual education experts in the field of technology, there will be a
robust growth in the development and manufacturing of computers. The flood of the
global market with different types of computers will continue thus driving prices down;
this will also create an enormous growth in the usage of computers. More people will
have access to owning a computer as progress through the ages. And there will be an
increase innovative processes. Discovery of new ideas may be put to use by people.
People will be able to interact with one another due to the fluctuation of the excess use
of computers.
Computers are essential commodities in the society because they tend to make
one’s life easy. Most functions that cannot be performed by humans are perform by
11. P a g e | - 10 -
computers. The basis for using computers is to extend the human mind beyond the
normal process. Computers have come of ages; they have come in different sizes and
they perform sophisticated tasks no matter what sizes they are physically. What really
matters is the size of the computer memory to accommodate all the functions that need
to be performed.
13. P a g e | - 12 -
MODERN USAGE OF COMPUTERS
Nowadays, the uses or applications of computer are becoming more rampant and
ludicrous in terms of their simplicities and sophistications in all fields of Science,
Engineering, Business and Arts. The coming age would definitely mandate the
knowledge of the use of computers because of the innovation of technology, as the
world changes. One must therefore be aware of the changes in technology in our world,
so to speak. The negative perceptions of the usage of computers would eventually
damage the invigorations and purpose of learning and innovation in our world.
Electronic applications of computers are the willingness to control the situations
around the globe. In order to sharply increase example-nary proprietaries
using computers, we must know when, where and how to applied technology and
formulas or algorithms. The innovative process of mathematical formulas in the
applications of computers or technology would have an impact on the behavioral of the
populace. One of the technicalities of the impact of innovation is to invigorate exposure
to the usage of technologies, including computers. The applications of computers may
have to involve acquiring necessary skills, experience and practice. The provisions of
simple and not sophisticated computers will certainly improvise the business and
scientific applications as well as technical applications. With computers we can easily
solve problems precisely. Computers are often applied to the derivations of solutions
which are not made aware of to everyone.
The development and application of computers are through innovation and satisfying
the needs of humans. The scientific world is part of an elongated development and
14. P a g e | - 13 -
applications of computers. And it can be substantiated with the use and evolution of
computers and technologies. Applications of computers are the entities that comprise
the need to achieve the ultimate goal of science in our world today. Computers are the
conglomeration of scientific technologies.
The scientific world plays a role in the development of computers. It can be said that
science is based on strategic planning. In the early evolutionary stage it has been noted
through history that ideas and inventions can be obtained through exploration and
scientific abomination. Technology is the foundation of the continuity, sustainability and
transformations in the society. We can achieve our needs through critical innovation
of technology regardless of our roles in society. We must have the knowledge base of
using computers or technology, since we do not have control over what is to be learned.
The circumstances surrounding the use technology and its development may be due to
affordability and security - These may in turns affect their volatility and flexibility.
Computers play an important aspect of our lives because they may be used
for just our daily chores. They are used by almost everyone. Computers are used by
teachers, cooks, students, farmers, housewives, technicians, priests, aviators and
medical doctors, just to mention a few. Almost all professions use some sorts or some
kind of computer to perform function.
Using Computers for Business
Although many businesses use computers to solve business problems and to
make decisions; we still need have to formulate how to interpret the business solutions
from these computers. Some computers of today allow managers and employees to
15. P a g e | - 14 -
formulate mathematical algorithms that are used to resolve problems or make
decisions. In the banking industries for example computers are used to calculate or
process customers' transactions, and in the insurance companies, computers are used
for projections and annuity calculations. Many large businesses depend on the use of
computers to survive in the world of today. The benefits of using computers to solve
problems outweigh their risks. To solve problem, we must first of formulate the problem
by creating algorithms or formula and then use our intuitions to manipulate, solve or
process the data or the information relating to the problem. Today instead of using our
intuitions, most of the businesses use computers to solve problems in all their
endeavors: Accounting, Production Management, Finance, Sales, Human Resources
and Operations Management, and so forts are some of the areas computers are applied
or used by businesses.
Science Applications of Computers
Computers are used by scientists for many scientific functions. They are used for
predictions and solving problems of physical and unphysical entities or scenarios. They
can be used for example to derive the amount of intake of oxygen in species in a period
of time for example. Scientists applied computers in the same manner as a business
man and technician or engineer. The creations of scientific computers have made life
easier for mankind. The use of computers to solving scientist problems has made the
world a better place to explore various ways of doing things and surviving on earth. For
example, scientists have made use of computer to prolong human lives both
physiologically and mentally. Scientific applications of computers actually lead to
progression of human existence, and the physical being itself. For example, computers
16. P a g e | - 15 -
can be used to measure the amount of granules a plant would need to grow normally
and how many times the plant supposed to be fed. Computers serve various functions
in the scientific world. Scientists use computers just as businesspersons or
entrepreneurs use computers to carry out or perform their daily functions. Scientific
applications of computers enable engineers to design physical entities, predict and
implement most functions.
Technology Applications of Computers
The use of computers is very common in engineering. For example in the designs
of bridges, automobiles, robots, houses and so on, just to mention a few. An example of
the usage of computers by engineer in building a bridge is to find the capacity and the
length of the proposed bridge by measurement. In manufacturing automobile for
example: the engineers may use computers to predict how fast they would like an
automobile to travel and the amount of gas it will consume or use before even
manufacturing the automobile. Also robots which can be classify as some kind of
computers are now being used to assemble parts in automobile industry and some
other kind of manufacturing industries. The technology application of computers is
sophisticated because it requires using agents of what or that constitute computer itself.
The implementation of all aspect of computers dwells on substance or problem.
Using Computers in Education
Educational applications of computer rest solely on what is to be achieved.
Computers are used to satisfy the intricacies of human mind. Computers are used to
comprehend what is not known to us. They are used to embellish the ultimate
17. P a g e | - 16 -
performance of existentiality. Computers can be used to initiate, update and retain
knowledge.
Computers can be used to learn or comprehend the understanding of all subjects,
be it physics, aerobics, swimming, biology, mathematics, agriculture, chemistry,
business administration or commerce, just to name a few. In education, computers are
used to project information to individuals in the classrooms or anywhere education is
taking place, in churches, homes, schools, conference halls and so on. It is also used to
convey the logic of a subject or behind a topic. Computers play an important role in
educating our mind. With the usage of computers we are able to learn, we are able to
devise new ways of doing things. The use of computers in education allows us to
convey instructions or ideas by all means. Globalizations of the entities comprising the
learning processes are protrude by using computers.

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS OF COMPUTERS
The strategy of the development of computers is to ease the ways we doing things in
life. It is to eliminate the obstacles of living on the planet and to prevent or secure
substantial endurance of humans. It is to alleviate all the problems encounter in
everyday life.
Education Strategy
The issues of reaching a diverse populace with online distance education are very
important issues in the educational institution environments today. With the increased in
the number of institutions providing online distance education to the society, it is
becoming an alarming issue as to whether educational institutions are reaching or
serving a diverse population.
The criteria of providing online distance computer education technology are to better
serve the entire population and providing leadership in education. But are educational
institution actually reaching the entire population or only a segment of the population is
being reached?
Societal factors such as economic maladies and unawareness of technological
innovations may prevent educational institution from attaining the goal of serving the
entire population with the online distances education, and thus establishing leadership
in education. The issue focus is that with the practices and introduction of computer
20. P a g e | - 19 -
online education, certain segment of the population may not being catered for. This part
of the population is the group of minorities who could not afford the cost of computer
technologies attached to online education. Also another segment of the population that
may not be reached by online education is the group who is not aware of the innovated
online distance computer technological education.
Even though there have being an increased in the use of technology in recent years,
only certain segment of the population still could afford to own computers. According to
the article in Computerworld magazine, titled “A surge in the use computers”, more than
two billion computers were sold in the United States in the past years, and the majority
of the buyers were the middle class. It was also mentioned that most people use their
computers for business and personal chores or pleasures
With the improved computer technological innovations, there is introduction of
online distance education into education curriculum. But with the costs associated with
the purchase, services and internet set up, many individuals in the society could not still
afford the online computer distance education. Distance online education through the
internet is growing and expanding globally. The distance education strategy and training
are becoming integrated as a whole unit rather than separate entities. More
interdisciplinary abilities are now required and the new generations of students and
educators are bringing diverse perspectives about life, work and family.
The driving forces for not reaching a diverse population with distance education may
be attributed to economic reason and the high increase in tuition fees, and the still
expensive computers. The majority of individual is poor and could not afford to own
21. P a g e | - 20 -
computers after meeting all other expenses. Tuitions and the costs of internet services
and owning computers posed a great deal of problem to students who will like to
participate in distance learning education.
If educational institutions can synthesize an appropriate strategic planning method
for technology and distance learning computer education, there may well be explosive
growth and evolution of innovations. There is presently competition among educational
establishment on the provisions of online distance learning education. Educational
institutions will face much tighter competition with the online distance learning based on
new available technologies. We should be aware that those who adopt state-of-the-art
methods will prosper and those who ignore them will eventually fail. If the universities
can lower tuition and try to offer free computers and internet services to distance
education students, then it will be able to succeed in reaching a diverse population of
students across the globe with distance education technologies.
The issues of reaching a diverse population in the society with distance learning
education and establishing leadership in education are vital and critical because tuition
costs are increasing and technology continues to grow and impact the society. In order
to avoid problems, good strategies and techniques are needed for planning,
implementation and maintenance of technology. Without the appropriate planning and
methods, institutions’ online distance learning education programs may suffer. If many
institutions are to cut tuition costs and provides each student with a personal computer
and a free internet service, then the institutions will be able to satisfy their visions and
missions.
22. P a g e | - 21 -
Technology Strategy
The technological planning is based on what constitute technology in the modern
society. There is a correlation between what is technology of the past, the present and
the future. In today information age educational technology products are based on
knowledge, values and pragmatic approach.
Technology management products are of great importance as well developing
computers in the society. The past and present terms are reciprocity of the global
markets. The retention of computers serves the purpose of conservatism and
pragmatic values and approach. Change in the products and information are preserved
in the society. This change is pragmatic to the management of the institutions or
societies. The computer information age is a co-existence of values and desire. The
philosophical entity of technology composed of resources and performance. The
composition of information is the entity of educational products in the global market. The
consistency of technological products is based on the magnitudes of the information
obtained from the past and present.
Models and consistencies of technologies are aligned with extensive extenuation of
objectivity in education. With the extenuation of objectives, there are subjectivities to
innovations of computers. The past may be subjective to the development of the
modern computers. Educational products and information are inter-changeable
commodities in technological society. The aspect of globalization of computer
technology is empowered through development of many external entities.
23. P a g e | - 22 -
The configuration of external foreign technological entities, such as tools of the past
era results in commonwealth of education technology. Technological posterity serves as
the philosophical view of the modern. There is prosperity from modern ways of
computing because of the convenience the technological innovations have portrayed.
Information are internally and externally exposed and stored technologically. The value
of information is the logical dwelling of philosophical abstracts of technology.
The transcendence of technology depends on innovations of both the present
and past in order to attain simplicity of adaptability and more sophisticated technological
amenities. This presents the future with lasting and endurance of educational
technology tools in the society. Computer technology is adeptly the invigoration of
educational expertise in our society. The combinations of know how, when and why
would be attributed to the development and enhancement of computer tools and their
awareness. We must adhere to the improvements of the previous and the modern as
well as gear or prepare towards new developments of technology in the society. The
strategic implementations of science and technology intentions would provide common
grounds in the development of computers.

FUNCTIONS OF COMPUTERS
Computers are believed to possess intelligence that surpasses that of humans.
They are met to perform all the functions that are beyond human control. The
exploration of science to achieve the ultimate goal of humans is an important aspect of
computers. The belief instilled in the mind of society that computers cannot ultimately
perform all human functions is actually misleading. The world of science provides a
security of physical, psychological and social well beings of the populace. This plays a
role in the development of fourth, fifth and sixth generation of computers. Computers
are used for assimilation of knowledge of humans. And the functions carried out by
super computers or the more intelligent computers are superb compare to that of
humans if their designs and constructions or architectures are proper. It can be said that
education is based on strategic planning in development of computers. In the early
exploration of science, it has been noted through history that ideas and inventions can
be obtained through rigorous training of the mind. The usage of computers is the
continuity of sustainability and transformation of their developments. The education of
humans can be the sole of beneficiary of the success of scientific exploration of the
needs to justify the development of intelligent expert systems. It can be through critical
innovation of the mind regardless of its role in the society. Everyone in the society is a
learner since we have no control over what is to be learned. The society and individual
determine what they want to learn and how we want to learn or use computers. The
circumstances surrounding computer education and its mode of delivery may be due to
26. P a g e | - 25 -
affordability and security. These in turns affect the volatility and the flexibility of the
usage of computers.
The needs to use computer and expert systems must be justify by the prosperity of
societal factors. The incumbents of people involved in the development of expert
systems or computers must have the resources of attaining their goals. The goals and
needs of society must be deemed to include scenario of standard accomplishments with
their expectations. The modalities of entities of understanding processes of humans
must be convey to the world of science. The dexterity of the mind can be explained
through all means of communications. Both internal and external modes of
communication can be justified by individual in the society.
The processes of involvement in the functions of computers consist of spiritual
processes and both physical and environmental processes. The uses of computers
increase the progress of humans through the channel of dwelling of living. The society
must be realized that education in the use of computers must be thoroughly explore and
applied. The assumptions that we possess all the preliminary process of functioning
without computers are absolutely not true. Computers are part of our daily lives. They
are used nowadays to perform chores, be it cooking, reading, shopping at markets,
worshiping at churches or harvesting at plantations. Computers or intelligent systems
are no longer solely used by big corporations – they are everywhere. We as humans in
the society tend to follow with a can-do all attitudes but knowledge always demand
reflection. We absolutely can get to know ourselves if we take some quiet time to
meditate as to how we use computers to solve problems in our daily life. One of the
27. P a g e | - 26 -
ways to learn to satisfy the society in use of computers is openness to suggestions and
proper articulations of individual understanding of why we use science or technology or
computers to solve problems. Mostly, scientific world is open to ideas and will try
untested approaches, and accept risk in the exploration of ways of developing
computers and the usage of computers. When we are at our personal best, our projects
involve creative thinking and beyond-the-boundaries thinking because of the awareness
of the functions of computer systems and its use. Even though development of
computer has had impact in volume of their usage, it should be realized that nothing is
done perfectly the very first time. We must also understand that as computers evolve
through changes, we tend to search for opportunities to improve the sophistication of
their usage. Opportunities that will meet the current changes and the foresee changes
must be mandated in the scientific world. The future changes in the functions and
usages of computers may depend on the learning materials of the present. The
changes may involve physical, psychological and social changes which will impact their
functions and usages by all sorts of people. Computer education rests on the hands of
the beholder. Education in the usage of computers must be clarified by people in the
society. We tend to learn as we progress through life based on the needs and
consequences derived from the pasts. Mistakes are made and we all learn from our
mistakes which is a form of education process. Results from the use of computer
depend on perception of what is intended and the information fed into its memory.
It is to my beliefs that computer functions and their uses work wonders through
developing of computer artifacts that justified the positive applications of computers.

Intellectual Function of Computers
Computers are able to function intellectually by applying the knowledge derived from
humans. Human intellect is derived from spiritual creation whereas computer intellect
may be said to be from that of human. It may then be inferred that both human
intellectual function and that of computer are of spiritual means because human intellect
is transfer to all artifacts.
The computers and other artifacts depend on the human ways of thinking. Without
some human input computers will not function. For example, after assembling an
automobile, dishwasher, printers, computer monitors, computer servers, radar, and
other computer peripherals, without conveying to these artifacts or hardware to perform
intellectually by humans it may not be possible for them to function. It is the living that
tells the computer as to what to do and accomplish.
The core function of the computers is control by the information being fed to it by
human. All non-living artifacts and some living artifacts relied sole on human way
thinking to accomplish tasks. Mostly scientific world is open to ideas and will try
untested approaches, and accept risk in the exploration of ways of developing
computers and the usage of computers. When we are at our personal best, our projects
will involve creative thinking and beyond-the-boundaries thinking because of awareness
of the computer systems and its use. Even though the intellectual functions of computer
has had impact in volume of their usage, it should be realized that the performance of
computers depends on their configurations and programmed instructions. We must also
29. P a g e | - 28 -
understand that as computers evolve through changes of their pertinent memory and
physical attributes or hardware. We tend to search for opportunities to improve the
sophistication of computers usage and their developments. Usages and developments
that will meet the current changes and the foresee changes which are in the scientific
world. The future changes in the developments and usages of computers actually
depend on the learning materials of the past and present.
Capability Function of Computers
Computers are capable of functions that are attributed to living things. They can perform
absolutely any functions to ultimate level as required. They all served as entities of
supremacy so to speak. Functions are carry out by computers according to instructions
being fed into them. If bad information is fed then one will get back bad information in
return; in order words “Garbage in Garbage Out”. If we want to achieve ultimate result,
then we must provide or feed computer with the input of information.
The function of computers may involve physical, psychological and social changes
which will impact their usage by all sorts of people. The means of using computers rest
on the hands of the beholder. Computers usage in educating the mind must be clarified
by importance of the usage. We tend to learn and function as human beings by applying
computers to various activities of our life. When using computers mistakes are made
and we all learn from our mistakes which is a form of education process. Results from
computer depend on its perception of what your intentions and information been fed into
its memory.

It is to my beliefs that we can use computer to perform wonders through development
of computer artifacts to justify the positive applications of computers.

DURABILITY OF COMPUTERS
It is believed that there will never be a ceased to the existence of computers. As long as
the world is in place then computers will be in place. Actually the longevity of the
attributes of computers are the homogeneity of their performance and physical
attributes. As we continue to use computers and innovate technology, computers
performance will continue to increase. To prolong the existence of computers, we as
humans must devote our time in exploring all possible usages or applications of
computers. The present entities are actually derived from the past and the present and
past entities will continue to yield entities of the future. Computers are the fundamentals
of human existentiality; without computers we as a society may not continue to survive.
The long haul of producing computers that are complex will lead to their
conservation and improvement. Computers will always be in our mist no matter what the
circumstances may be. The manufacturing of the future generations of computers rest
on the hand of the beholders. Individual in the society will have to be responsible for the
connotations attached to the development of computers as tools for human
perseverance and human embodiment. Computers serve as the tools of the era, and
the future of computers remains enlighten and positive.

Physical and Memory Attributes
Computers consist of peripherals as physical attributes. The physical attributes of
computers are referred as hardware. Hardware may be termed as tangible physical
components of the computer. The physical attributes depend on the main core of the
computer to function as whole. Without the physical components or attributes, there will
be no computers; and without the memory attributes, the physical component will not
function properly. The components rely on the command issue by the memory of the
computers. The difference between the physical attributes of computers and memory is
that physical attributes are tangible whereas memory attributes are intangible. Both the
memory attributes and physical attributes depend on each other. They both work
together to accomplish a function. The memory attributes are referred to as central
processor and arithmetic logical unit. The processor (CPU) is the central processing unit
that perform all the processing of information and part of the CPU is the Arithmetic
Logical Unit which perform all calculation: everything that involve calculations. The CPU
can be referred to the core of the system. The physical attributes are components such
as wire, printers, disc drives, USB, tape drives, telephones, diskettes, discs or any part
of the computer that one can touch.

SUMMARY
The early building of personal computers is the episode of discovery curve.
There was an opportunity for growth within the industry. It seems they were no
problems that could really under mind the development of personal computers.
Starting a business should be considered by the experience management team
as the development of computer evolves. The expertise of management would carry the
developments and innovations of computers through profitable years. The problems of
direct and indirect competitions are worth taking into considerations when developing
computers because of the differentiations of computer units and services from
competitors.
The price of computers should be below the average price of other products.
Since home lobbyists or households are primary target in the computer industry, it may
make sense to focus on having a reduced or low price. The offering of additional
business or services such as programming, consulting, training, education and
maintenance must be at competitive advantage if profitability are main goals of success.
When consumers realize that such perks or services are available, then it will
encourage them to remain loyal customers. Users’ friendliness, quality of service and
affordability would contribute to success.
The sales of computers may fluctuate from season to season. For example, if
about 200 products of the units were sold to educational market during a summer
season and about 250 units are sold during a winter season (Christmas Holidays). The
increase in the sales may be due to the fact that those who engage or participate in
36. P a g e | - 35 -
activities were interested in purchasing units for themselves after their involvements in
computer activities in the summer.
Since computers are everywhere, there is a market for computers because the
learning aspects of DO IT yourself are being made aware of. Therefore the market
opportunity does exist. In order to penetrate the market, more will have to be spent on
advertisement of computers and their peripherals in educational magazines and
periodicals. The distribution of computers from direct sales channel to consumers will be
a good idea. But it can be the reverse, that is, from retail to consumers.
