Sam Lurk wrote up a CSI science project report on a laptop at home and saved the report with this name: Lurkinvestigation, and turned off the computer.
Sam's teacher emailed that the assignment was late, but no points would be subtracted if the file was emailed immediately. Sam turned on the computer, and noticed that there were four files named Lurkinvestigation on the desktop.
Lurk thought about his class, CSI science investigation, where he took a photo of the crime scene that he inserted into his report, the notes taken as he interviewed a witness, the list of possible suspects he made, and the final written report in his word processing program on his computer. That was a lot of work. Which file name would be his report? Sam clicked on the Lurkinvestigation.mp3 file and the computer prompt asked what program Sam wanted to use to open the file. Sam didn't know, so he selected Microsoft Word from the list. Error! It wouldn't open the file! Help! What should Sam Lurk have known and done? He should of used a file name that looked familiar to him. Which file should he have send? Lurkinvestigation.doc Why would Microsoft Word not open the mp3 file? Because it probably was a file it has never seen before or trusts. Explore File Names below if you need help deciding. |
