so computers would have more functionality
No. Q-Basic is no longer supported by it's creator and therefore should not be used. Qbasic was designed to work with the old MS-DOS or similar operating systems. Programs written in Qbasic can't take advantage of the resources available in modern operating systems. I would recommend using something like Visual Basic, VB.Net, C++, Java or one of several programming languages available today.
Dennis Ritchie was the creator of the C programming language. He created it while at AT&T Bell Labs and officially debuted in 1972. Many Object Oriented programming languages today are based off of this language including C# (go figure). He was also key in developing the Unix operating system.
Almost any computer language can do GUI manipulations if provided by a GUI library. Some can be add-ons because the language itself does not have a direct method of doing GUI drawing, etc.Languages such as C and C++ for example do not have a native GUI interface because they are not tied directly to a machine architecture or to an operating systems platform. However, that is not to say that they cannot do GUI manipulations; it just isn't built into the language, but there are 3rd party add-ons that do the manipulations for you.Other languages, such as C# and Java, have built-in gUI libraries that work the same way regardless of the Operating System they are on. In that way they support GUI operators natively, without the use of an add-on GUI library.
The "machine language" and "assembly language" for each CPU architecture are the lowest-level programming languages. The "Forth language" and the "C programming language" are perhaps the most popular non-CPU-specific low-level programming languages. They were once considered high-level programming languages, and certainly they are at a higher level than assembly language, but now they are considered low-level programming languages when compared to the much higher-level languages available today (Python, Java, C++, etc). Low-level programming languages provide little or no abstraction from the CPU's instruction set architecture; typically they interact with the hardware directly.
Internet programming is something totally different from other programming paradigms. I have a little programming experience with C and C++. And I have a good experience with HTML,CSS,PHP and SQL. All web pages consist of HTML tags. In fact the HTML tags represent the page. HTML programming is much easier than C/C++. And no matter what programming languages or frameworks (PHP,ADO,ASP .NET(C#,VB),SQL) we use they are embedded in HTML code while programming web applications. But this is not the case with computer programming. In fact web programming is much much easier than computer programming. it is enjoyable as well!!! But if you program webpages with Flash and ActionScript the webpages get totally different. At first you need to create a SWF file via Flash and ActionScript and then embed it in your web page via HTML.
"Berkeleydb" refers to a software library with an embedded database. This library is written in the C language, with support for most programming languages. It is the most widely used toolkit available today.

It depends what course you've signed up for. However, if you're looking for a career in IT, you should at least have an appreciation of ALL programming languages in use today, including assembly, C, C++, C# and Java. You don't need a working knowledge of them, just what they are capable of, where they are used and why they are used. It would be advantageous to have a working knowledge of at least one programming language, even if it is just BASIC, the simplest of all languages.

Just because we already have programming languages does not mean we cannot evolve new languages. Those earlier languages wouldn't even exist had they not been evolved from earlier languages. Prior to the development of the C programming language there was the B programming language, which was itself a variant of Combined Programming Language (CPL) known as Basic CPL (or BCPL). The B programming language could not address memory at the byte level, thus modifying the B language to meet this demand resulted in the C language. While many of the early languages have fallen into disuse, the general-purpose nature of C made it extremely popular across a wide range of programming fields. Virtually every program you use today relies on C code at some point. So although we have new languages to write programs, including C++ which effectively replaces C completely, there is still a great deal of C code out there, and it all needs to be maintained. Some of it will eventually be replaced with new code, but there's no point in replacing code unless you can replace it with something that works more efficiently.
As of 2011, the Ethnologue catalogue lists 6,809 languages.
According to www.ethnologue.com there are currently 6,909 known languages . Hope this helps!
