  1. You're off to a good start with this analysis of inputs and outputs. Can you create a powerpoint slide that captures these inputs and outputs and post that?

    See if you can collaborate with your classmates to refine your list of inputs and outputs. A cell phone is a great choice because there's a lot that goes into and comes out of it's functionality.
