<span>An appositive (or an appositive phrase) gives more information about a noun. The appositive is usually placed next to the noun it modifies. Writers use appositive and appositive phrases in order to provide more information about something. Consider this sentence: Samson, my little puppy, tore the pillow apart. Here, the phrase "my little puppy" is an appositive phrase that tells us more about the noun "Samson." Thanks to the appositive phrase, the reader knows that it was a little puppy that tore the pillow apart, and not a person or other animal. Therefore, appositives are important in order to clearly convey information to the reader.</span>

Describe your computer at home/work? My computer is a custom PC that I built myself and it has 2 monitors side by side which increases my efficiency in everything I do.

What do you usually use a computer for? Mainly for work. I am a freelance web developer, so I rely on my PC for just about everything in my work life as well as my personal life. I also play games on my PC on occassions.

Do you like computers? I have always liked computers. I am continously amazed by what they have allowed us to do as well as how they have completely and drastically changed our world in these last 30 years alone. I also really enjoy building and customizing a computers to match my specific needs.

What was the first computer you ever had like? My first computer was an HP Vectra 286 in the year 2000, which still used Floppy Disks for everything and the Internet was very new, which took forever to connect to.

What do you think will be the future of computers? From someone in the field of computer science it seems pretty obvious that we are heading into a future that is all about Artificial Intelligence. The advancements made in that field continue to exceed expectations and provide solutions to problems that are drastically more efficient that we could have imagined.
