Response: Chapter 10: Logic and Switches

Similar to the chapter entitled Gates (Not Bill) on Code, this chapter deals about how logic gates work. The only difference is that on this one you get a little history of the origins of logical thinking, and how this process became practical for electrical usage. It goes from Socrates's point of view in logic to Boole's discoveries on gates.

One thing I didn't like about this reading is how the writer uses cats as elements on his gate examples so often. Don't get me wrong, I like cats (or at least have learned how not to hate them), but it got to a point in which it became kind of annoying.

One thing I DID like and applaud is how easy he makes logic gates understandable. His illustrations are pretty simple and easy to follow. Perhaps it is that these schematics are much easier to understand than the ones from the other book, or simply it is better explained.

Or maybe I'm just whack.
