Week 3: Hardware

Websites are available where you can make your own app. Where computers come in is maintaining user information and with designing and maintaining a Website that goes along with the "Eat This" app itself. Depending on the success of the app and the number of users, computing changes would be needed.

Running an app may require computers of high quality which are essential to keep everything running smoothly. A large amount of RAM, 8G or up, would be necessary for creating a Website and running CAD to work on graphics for ads, branding, logos, and the likes. Large numbers of users are anticipated and their information will have to be stored, taking up memory.

A USB hub is key to making things run smoother when designing. With a USB hub, a camera, scanner, and external hard drive could be plugged in at the same time. I would be able to edit and scan photos simultaneously while running Photoshop without seeing a difference in the speed of the CPU. The Website would feature pictures of the "Eat This" app with tutorials on how to easily work it. Online users could easily see what the "Eat This" App is all about.
