... power and a tenth the size, with less parts and using less power. An airport or an army base used to have huge structures that could send out signals to find out if any aircraft were approaching. This technology is now offered to people who have a computer with microsoft's quick basic, or a Macintosh, and space (equivalent to that of a coffee-pot) to spare. Ultrasonic radar is now a small component for your computer, giving computer operators a chance to see low flying objects, household furniture, and even themselves on their PC screen. Just to impress a neighbour or friend is reason enough to build your own u ...

... and most powerful CPU in the market. This processor could do a plethora of small tasks and still not be working to hard. Around 2-3 years ago, the Pentium came out, paving the way for new and faster computers. Intel was the most proficient in this area and came out with a range of processors from 66 MHz-166 Mhz. These processors are also now starting to become obsolete. Todays computers come equipped with 400-600 Mhz processors that can multi-task at an alarming rate. Intel has just started the release phase of it’s new Pentium III-800MHz processor. Glenn Henry is quoted to say “Megahertz is all people care ...

... twenty-one percent of all employees are monitored at work, and the larger the company, the higher the percentage (Privacy 445). Unaware of this electronic monitoring, most employees often are not working at their peak performance due to this type of scrutiny. The majority of Americans believe that electronic monitoring should not be allowed. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis states that of all of the freedoms that Americans enjoy, privacy "is the right most valued by civilized men (Privacy 441)." A poll taken by Yankelovich Clancy Shulman for Time, states that ninety-five percent of Americans believe tha ...

... and interact with computers and extremely complex data" The visualization part refers to the computer generating visual, auditory or other sensual outputs to the user of a world within the computer. This world may be a CAD model, a scientific simulation, or a view into a database. The user can interact with the world and directly manipulate objects within the world. Some worlds are animated by other processes, perhaps physical simulations, or simple animation scripts. Interaction with the virtual world, at least with near real time control of the viewpoint, in my opinion, is a critical test for a 'virtual reality' ...

... the 1980's, the National Science Foundation built five Superconductor Computer Centers to give several universities academic access to high powered computers formerly available to only the United State's military (Krol). The National Science Foundation then built its own network chaining more universities together. Later, the network connections were being used for purposes unrelated to the National Science Foundation's idea such as the universities sending electronic mail (today, it is understood as Email). The United States government then helped pushed the evolution of the Internet, calling the project: Infor ...

... "sensor" where light is turned into electrical impulses (called the retina), and a nerve to transmit what we "see" to the brain (called the optic nerve). Generally, the main difficulties with sight are from either a misshapen cornea, which fails to focus light properly unto the receiving plate, the retina. Early treatments included the wearing of lenses, which corrected sight abnormalities, or even physical surgery with the scalpel which could release the tension on the cornea and allow it to form into it's proper shape. Now, with the help of modern science and computers, it's possible to use lasers in surgi ...

... pressing CTRL-ALT-ESC). The AMI BIOS is mostly entered by pressing the DEL key after resetting (CTRL-ALT-DEL) or powering up the computer. You can bypass the extended CMOS settings by holding the key down during boot-up. This is really helpful, especially if you bend the CMOS settings right out of shape and the computer won't boot properly anymore. This is also a handy tip for people who play with the older AMI BIOSes with the XCMOS setup. It allows changes directly to the chip registers with very little technical explanation. A Typical BIOS POST Sequence Most BIOS POST sequences occur along four stages: 1. Disp ...

... in 1924 and assumed that company's name. Thomas Watson arrived that same year and began to build the floundering company into an industrial giant. soon became the country's largest manufacturer of time clocks and developed and marketed the first electric typewriter. In 1951 the company entered the computer field. The development of 's technology was largely funded by contracts with the U.S. government's Atomic Energy Commission; close parallels existed between products made for government use and those introduced by into the public marketplace. In the late 1950s distinguished itself with two innovations: the conc ...

... it is very old. It is about 2000 years old .1 The first computer was the abacus. This invention was constructed of wood, two wires, and beads. It was a wooden rack with the two wires strung across it horizontally and the beads were strung across the wires. This was used for normal arithmetic uses. These type of computers are considered analog computers. Another analog computer was the circular slide rule. This was invented in 1621 by William Oughtred who was an English mathematician. This slid ruler was a mechanical device made of two rules, one sliding inside the other, and marked with many number scales. Thi ...
