Supreme Court

 

  • What did you learn about the Supreme Court that you didn't already know?

    • That they get about 7000 cases a year and about 100 per week

  • What is the most important take-away point about the Supreme Court?

    • They get to choose the cases they want to work by a majority of judges wanting to take on that case

  • What was the most surprising thing you learned?

    • They release their final statements on the case to the public after a case has been decided

  • How did the video change the way you thought of the Supreme Court?

    • It showed me that the Supreme Court is more of a "For the People" body of government, they don't hide too much from the public compared to Congress and the President

Companies that were able to make computers feasible for people to buy for home usage was a small company MITS which made the first computer for people to buy called the Altair.      Early Production of PC Once the Altair was released to the public, some hobbyists took this as an opportunity to form a company and make computers cheaper to make and sell. Apple was the leading company that was formed and then there were two other mass produced computers that were sold at the time. IBM who was once the most dominate computer company for a long time didn't come around until 1981. Some time after the computer business picked up, Apple released "Lisa" which was a graphical user interface (GUI), which would display icons and text files would look how they would be printed out on paper.   Late Production of PC Computers had already been continu...
