... it a fade. The demand continues to rise and is now so great that technological improvements are continually needed to handle the burden that's been created from all of the people using the net. Their are many things that can lighten the load that's been slowing down the internet. First, it needs to have a lot better organization because with over seventy-five million web pages, and rising steadily fast, being able to pin-point the information you are trying to find is very difficult. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. When you use a search engine to find information on a certain topic the search can come back with thousands upon thousands of pages or sites. Sometimes with o ...
... has cornered the market in education, and remains number one in this U.S. market. Apple Macintosh computers account for 60% of the 5.9 million machines in U.S. schools for the 1995-96 school year. Only 29% of schools use the Microsoft/Intel platform, and DOS only accounts for a measly 11%. Also it was reported that 18.4% of 4 year college students own the Macintosh. 55% of college students own a computer, and Apple's in the lead for that market too! The reason Apple says for this continued success is the Mac's ease of use. There is no doubt that the Macintosh is the easiest computer around. The scrolling menu bar is the first example. If a Macintosh menu is too long to fit on the screen ...
... Wozniak, released itıs Apple II. Now the nerds were satisfied, but that wasnıt enough. In order to catapult the PC in to a big-time product, Apple needed to make it marketable to the average Joe. This was made possible by Visical, the home spread sheet. The Apple II was now a true-blue product. In order to compete with Appleıs success, IBM needed something to set its product apart from the others. So they developed a process called ³open architecture.² Open architecture meant buying all the components separately, piecing them together, and then slapping the IBM name on it. It was quite effective. Now all IBM needed was software. Enter Bill Gates. Gates, along with buddy Pau ...
... another flow of data up through the layers in the receiving computer. The actual programming and hardware that makes these seven layers of function is usually a combination of the computer OS, applications, TCP/IP and the software and hardware that enable you to put a signal on one of the lines attached to your computer. OSI divides communication into seven layers. The layers are in two groups. The upper four layers are used whenever a message passes from or to a user. The lower three layers are used when any message passes through the host computer. Messages intended for this computer pass to the upper layers. Messages destined for some other host are not passed up to the upper layers but ...
... its exact location, else one is compelled to dive into a muddy flood of shit. This leads me to the point of clarifying the term "information": This word usually has two meanings, a fact that contributes to misunderstandings. It can mean a piece of wanted, useful and understandable data or it can also mean any piece of data. When a stupid chick posts some info that her doggie just pissed on the carpet and she includes on the web page a picture of her with the dog, I wouldn't even call it "data". I call it a scandal. And I waste my time downloading this crap because it happened that this rotten dog is named Io, the same name as one of Jupiter's moons, pictures of which I wanted to look at ...
... users however, is the printer. Many people have probably used a printer before, but it is just that they never realize it is also a form of output. As opposed to 'output', 'input' consists of components that take in information from the users themselves so that the computer will know the tasks it is supposed to perform and accomplish. The keyboard is classified as a form of input because this is where the users enter commands and text. There are many other forms of input as well. Nonetheless, many people just don't realize them, or are too lazy to classify them. For instance, the mouse belongs to input, since it provides a floating pointer on the screen so that the users ca ...
... "digital calculating machine". It could only add numbers and they had to be entered by turning dials. It was designed to help Pascal's father who was a tax collector (Soma, 32). In the early 1800Os, a mathematics professor named Charles Babbage designed an automatic calculation machine. It was steam powered and could store up to 1000 50-digit numbers. Built in to his machine were operations that included everything a modern general-purpose computer would need. It was programmed by--and stored data on--cards with holes punched in them, appropriately called "punch cards". His inventions were failures for the most part because of the lack of precision machining techniques used at the t ...
... in a veil of secrecy for almost two decades, but this entirely new family of aircraft has recently been announced to the public but the United States Department of Defence. These aircraft are virtually undetectable to radar, these new aircraft are the first examples of '' law observable, or stealth technology. Because radar in the primary means by wich aircraft are detected and tracked, it has become very important to the military service to make aircraft as invisible to radar as possible. By building aircraft in certain ways or out or out of certain materials like exotic plastics, it is possible to control the direction or deduce the amount of radar energy they reflect. This prevents ene ...
... virus" can prevent doomsday from becoming a reality for many information technology managers and their corporations. What, specifically, _is_ this "millennia virus" to begin with? There has been much talk about it, and most people know it has something to do with the date formats and how they are processed by the computer. How it is affecting that processing is what the key to implementing a solution is. There are several forms the "bug" will metamorphose into. For example: Field / Date Processing Time based calculations Hardware failure Will all be affected by the problem. "OLD will seem YOUNG, a FEW moments will seem like an ENTIRE century, FUTURE event ...
... handle at these high speeds. The latest computer is an on-board navigational computer that will direct the driver into using the fastest and most efficient way to get to the destination. It will plan your route around any construction, traffic jams, and even inclement weather. If and when these cars break down, a mechanic will simply ask the car's on-board computer what is wrong, rather than having to go through a series of complicated troubleshooting tests. As I have clearly stated, computers have greatly improved something that most of us use every day. Another advantage of the computer that until recently I was unfamiliar with is the role of the computer in the workplace. I h ...
