This day we learn about tables and figures, especially is why we using that. We explain to all people using presentation after that.

My result from this learning is important to using tables and figures when we want to write scientific paper, so we must know this basic idea. 

• Don't using to many text (crowded) with details, is better using table,

• If you have similar information in many area its easily if creating into one table,

• If a table just have few rows & columns is better in to using text,

• If you have difficult explanation with text or table is better to using a figure.

For home task she also giving to comparing tables and figures in reading paper with last paper with title: Research in computer science an empirical study.

After that she giving us reading material about ICT in education and goverment. All of us making summary after that. This is my summary about ICT goverment in Japan from 1996 - 2000.

Every aspect when using ICT in Japan Central Goverment is decreasing from 1996 until 2000. Central Goverment is consist of: Local branch office, ministries and agencies, total central goverment, and facilities and instituties. There are also considering variation data beside that. For local branch office gets less from 3.5 in 1996 and gets 1.5 in 2000.  Ministries and agencies gets 1.5 in 1996 and in 2000 gets less than 1. Total central goverment get 1.5 in 1996 and gets less than 1 in 2000. Then facilitates and institutes less than in 1996 and get 0.5 in 2000. So that is all decreasing in japan central goverment in 1996 - 2000.
