Guiding Question Week 8

We have been able to solve so many day-to-day problems using computers. Many of these problems fundamentally are about transformation: Taking some input, and turning it into some new, more useful output.

Take a look at the following three links: https://www.unitconverters.net, https://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-jpg, and https://convertio.co/ocr.

Take some time and test each of these tools.

• For each of the tools linked, what kind of input do they expect to receive? what kind of output do they produce?
• Make a guess as to how each one of them could be working.
• Based on that guess, do you think it's possible to go the other way around? In other words, use the output to produce the input, somehow?
