For example my laptop has the potential to run out of battery as I type but is currently in a state of actualised use of battery power. This movement from potentiality to actuality lead Aristotle to the conclusion that there are stages in causation. He called these the four causes: Material, Formal, Efficient and Final causes. He understood that each of the four causes was necessary to explain the change from potentiality to actuality. His first cause, the material, explained what the object or thing being described was made from.
Search the Internet for information on “port expander.” 2. List the types of ports available on the expander hardware. Include screen shots of actual port expanders in an appendix to your completed assignment. 3. Determine whether port expanders are made for specific types of computers, or if they generic devices that will work with any computer.

Nothing ever stays the same and world is continually changing. A further reason why Aristotle’s four causes are convincing is due to the fact the Aristotle’s theory is derived from his studies of the natural world. The four causes can be observed in action and this means that we can observe the Prime mover in action. Other people might think Aristotle’s four causes are not convincing because the “four causes in action” can be explained be science. Gravity and Earths rotation explains why we have day, night, winter and summer.
Explain Aristotle's ideas about cause and purpose in relation to God. Aristotle was an ancient Greek Philosopher who studied at Plato's University, The Academy. Aristotle was fascinated about the physical world and universe. Althought Aristotle completely admired his teachers works and ideas, Aristotle approached philosophy completely differently to Plato and he completely disregarded Plato's teachings of The World of the Forms and concluded his own theory. Aristotle wanted to explain the purpose of things existing as they do, and rejected the idea of Plato's 'perfect form' of objects.

Fluid intelligence doesn’t look much like the capacity to memorize and recite facts, the skills that people have traditionally associated with brainpower. But building it up may improve the capacity to think deeply that Carr and others fear we’re losing for good. And we shouldn’t let the stresses associated with a transition to a new era blind us to that era’s astonishing potential. We swim in an ocean of data, accessible from nearly anywhere, generated by billions of devices. We’re only beginning to explore what we can do with this knowledge-at-a-touch.
It is more commonly referred to as the computer processor. (Buzzle, n.d) The hard drive is where all the program files are stored for retrieval or further operation. The power supply unit is responsible for providing the system with power function. It is an electrical box fitted inside at the back of the cabinet, which connects to and powers the motherboard, disk drives, and other similar components. (Buzzle, n.d) There are many different types of application software.
One thing to understand about the scientific method is that it can’t be used to answer every question or solve every problem a person may be having, but it can be used as a way to solve many problems such as how to get a car started or how to stop the roof from leaking when it rains. The objective of this paper is to define what the scientific method is and to explain what steps are used to problem solving. As defined by the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language the scientific method is “The principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to demonstrate the truth or falseness of the hypothesis, and a conclusion that validates or modifies the hypothesis.” The number of steps of the scientific method isn't standard. Some texts and instructors break up the scientific method into more or fewer steps. Some people start listing steps with the hypothesis, but since a hypothesis is based on observations (even if they aren't formal), the hypothesis usually is considered to be the second step.
They can choose to engage in deep thinking activities. Too much of anything is not good for any one, and this also applies to internet usage. Scholars say that the price of technology is alienation and that this indicates that the more distracted an individual becomes, the less able they are to experience human emotions such as empathy and compassion. It is still too early to tell what the results of the future effects of the internet, but as Carr states, “An intellectual technology exerts its influence by shifting the emphasis of our thought. As the brain adapts to the new medium, the most profound changes will take place over several generations’
