Computing Commons


Computing Commons

This an angular picture of the cacti beside the Computing Commons.


The Computing Commons is a place for students to go and use the technology that the Arizona State University provides. The computers are there for people to do homework and/or just use them for entertainment purposes. But what a lot of people do not know is that what is on the outside is what matters a lot more. For people that live in the desert, it is a common theme for there to be an abundance of cacti scattered all around, and in front and on the side of the Computing Commons building there are over twenty barrel cacti and some old man cactus.

This is a vase of my favorite flowers, specifically the yellow ones.
 They are called daffodils or narcissus.
 The other flower is a daisy and I don’t really like it, but it is still pretty.

This specific spot may not provide that much shade but it does provide a place for people to meet up and go inside the building to study. It is also a great therapeutic attraction and soothing feeling because it is has a charming aspect to it. Usually when people walk by here, they are filled with a great sensation that would calm the mind and soul. One interesting fact about the cacti in front of the Computing Commons is that it is in the shape of a mother board. Now to people that know little to nothing about computers no one would be able to know what it was and why the cacti were placed in this manner. But for the people that do know the ins and outs of a computer would be able to spot that these cacti are in the shape of a mother board.

This may not provide shade, but it allows for people to feel comfortable and puts a smile to every face that walks on by and this is why it can be considered a therapeutic attraction. Many people meet up here because people have to work or study and these little cacti start their studies with a peaceful attitude.
