History Of The Internet
... The theory for the Internet first started being published in 1961 with
Leonard Kleinrock’s document on packet-switching theory, “Information Flow in
Large Communication Net.” This document presented the theory behind the first
problem of the Internet, and how to solve it1. The problem was this: when a
large document is sent then pieces of it become lost in transfer and the entire
document has to be resent, but then different pieces are missing from the new
copy of the document. This is a major problem and the obvious solution is to
“chop” the information up into smaller pieces and then transmi ...

Modems
... tones to each other to negotiate the fastest mutually supported
modulation method that will work over whatever quality line has been established
for that call. There are two main differences in the types of modems for PC,
internal and external modems.
Evolution of Modems
In the last 10 years, modem users have gone from data transfer rates of
300bps to 1,200 bps to 2,400 bps to 9,600 bps to 14.4Kbps to 28.8Kbps to, and to
33.6Kbps. Now new modem standards are emerging, reaching speeds of up to
56Kbps. Unlike the 33.6Kbps modems being sold today, 56Kbps is a significant
improvement over 28.8Kbps modems. Viewing ...

Internet Censorship And The Communications Decency Act
... are way to vague, many avocates
of Internet censorship laws are ignorant of what the Internet really is or
how it works, laws like these wouldn't work, and there are many
alternatives to government enforced laws to protect children that would be
much less invasive.
The bills for laws aimed at regulating the Internet for the sake of
child safety are, in my opinion, extremely vague and broadsided. They
give absolutely no definition of what should be considered "obscene" or
"harmful to minors." Definitions annexed on to them are extremely
broadsided and could not only ban pornography but also things like

The Computer
... in the electronic circuitry of most appliances control the indoor temperature, operate home security systems, tell the time, and turn videocassette recorders on and off. Computers in automobiles regulate the flow of fuel, thereby increasing gas mileage. Computers also entertain, creating digitized sound on stereo systems or computer-animated features from a digitally encoded laser disc. Computer programs, or applications, exist to aid every level of education, from programs that teach simple addition or sentence construction to advanced calculus. Educators use computers to track grades and prepare notes; with comput ...

Internet Applications In Business
... last year. That doesn’t come close to an Internet only retailer like Amazon.com, but it is a phenomenal success for Depot’s first year in the Internet market. Increased sales revenue is not the only benefit that this marketing plan has reaped. A new level of efficiency has also been reached.
The leading benefit that has created such efficiency is the number of customer orders that Depot does not have to:
1. Take up more of a salesperson’s time on the phone.
2. Take up an order-entry clerk.
3. Waste time trying to understand precisely what the customer needs. (The customer can browse though our entire catalog ...

The Evolution Of The Saw
... the saw, that could fulfill this need. This saw was designed with a thin piece of copper stuck into a small piece of wood. The copper strip had teeth lined up along one end that allowed the tool to cut a kerf in a small piece of wood. They later replaced the copper with bronze, and the bronze with iron.
This new saw was effective, but was not very specialized. It would react differently under different conditions. Eventually more complex designs were discovered. These new designs allowed for the precision cutting of hardwood, softwood, with the grain, against the grain, and even raked out the unwanted sawdu ...

History Of The Intel Corporation
... cicuits
electronics company. Gordon suggested that semiconductor memory looked
promising enough to risk starting a new company. Intel was born.
Intel made quite an impact on the industry soon after it was founded.
The sales revenues jumped enormously through Intel's International exspansion to
many countries including Europe and the Phillipines in the early 70's. From
1969 to 1970 Intel's revenues went up by almost four-million dollars! Today,
Intel is one of the biggest companies pulling in billions and billions of
dollars each year.
Intel has had many factors over the years that has allowed it to

Modems
... files from other computers. The first patented computer modem was made by Hayes in the early eighties and from there they rapidly developed the first modem speed was 300 baud and from there a 600 baud than 1200 and so on. The fastest modem made today is a 56k which is very fast. Not as fast as ISDN (The Wave offered through Rogers cable) or even as advanced as Satellite modem. Most people now have 14.4 or 28.8 baud (Baud is "Slang" for Baud Rate Per Second) the reason for the increase in 14.4 and 28.8’s is that they are cheap and fairly recent and haven’t gone out of date yet.

The Future Of The Internet
... military, businesses, colleges and
universities, and common people with no specific purpose to even use it (Dunkin
180). Phillip Elmer-Dewitt stated it perfectly, “It is a place for everyone.”
The rapid growth of the internet has many positive aspects to it. The
new technology that is developing with this rapid growth will help keep
computers up to date with what is being developed on the internet. With these
technological advances, systems will be faster, more powerful, and capable of
doing more complicated tasks. As more people with different interests,
thoughts, and ideas get involved with the internet ...
