Thing #14

For this part of the assignment, I discovered the differences between flow charts and mind maps. I went to the websites for them and decided to use them both for something that I needed to think about. For both the flow chart and the mind map, I thought about the same question, but went about the question in two completely different ways. The question had to do with what I should get my boyfriend for Christmas. For the flow chart, the process dealt with how I should figure out what to get him for Christmas. For the mind map, the process dealt with different possibilities of things I could give him for Christmas. What I concluded from using flow charts and mind maps was this: Flow charts are used for describing processes. Mind maps are brainstorms in which the user thinks about a certain topic and divides that topic into several sub-categories.
