... officially adopted as an international standard by the International Organization of Standards (ISO).The main idea in OSI is that the process of communication between two end users in a network can be divided into layers, with each layer adding its own set of special, related functions. Each user is at a computer equipped with these seven layers of function. So, in a given message between users, there will be a flow of data through each layer at one end down through the layers in that computer and, at the other end, when the message arrives, ...
... into the classroom.
Computers have made a fundamental impact in most industries, providing a competitive advantage that has come to be essential to many businesses. Therefore, schools must also use technology to improve the educational process. School systems often consider purchasing a computer network, and justify its purchase by applying it to routine administrative tasks, such as attendance records and grading. While these tasks are very important, they only show a small part of what technology can do for a school. Technology must go furth ...

they had less. And in that knowledge, they believed that they, as a people, were
less.
In this essay, I will examine third world communities and the
relationship between technological development and environmental degradation. I
will look first at the way in which development occurred in the South, and the
reason it happened the way that it did. From there, I will show how these
methods of development proceeded to eventually cause widespread environmental
damage and it's effect on the local people. .

... microprocessor, the
computer has changed nearly every aspect of people's lives for the better.
The very earliest existence of the modern day computer's ancestor is the
abacus. These date back to almost 2000 years ago. It is simply a wooden rack
holding parallel wires on which beads are strung. When these beads are moved
along the wire according to "programming" rules that the user must memorize, all
ordinary arithmetic operations can be performed (Soma, 14). The next innovation
in computers took place in 1694 when Blaise Pascal invent ...
... what a web browser is then I will tell you, a web browser is simply a tool
used to view the various websites on the internet. All web browsers are
different, some only interpret html language, which is another programming
language used to design web page and then there are some browsers that can play
videos and sounds.
Have you ever wondered why when you want to go to a website you have to
type http://name of site.com? well I have been wondering for ages but still
can't figure out, but sometimes you type ftp:// before the name of the ...
... 1970, Ken Thompson and Dennis
Ritchie began to develop their own single-user, multi-tasking small operating
system and they chose the name UNIX. Their initial goal was simply to operate
their DEC PDP machines more effectively. In 1971, UNIX became multi-user and
multi-tasking, but it was still just being developed by a small group of
programmers who were trying to take advantage of the machines they had at hand.
(In other words, this operating system that they were developing did not run on
any machine made by Bell!)
In 1973, Dennis Ritchi ...

A Pentium computer is currently the fastest CPU in the Intel x86 line. Pentium refers to the Pentium CPU chip or the PC that uses it. The Pentium is the successor to the 486 and was originally going to be named the 586. runs approximately twice as fast as a 50MHz 486.

... of banks and companies with a very common P.C without moving out of their own living-room. Most hackers see a big challenge entering into the database of an organisation like the N.A.S.A for example. Often they do not know what kind of problems they will have to face. An example for this would be a little boy of twelve years of age, who managed to enter into the database of an important stock exchange computer. His parents will probably be fined, also if this boy did not do any real harm. As I already mentioned, hackers are in most cases ...

the pirates.
When pirates distribute the illegal software, one could say that they are
helping, than hurting the software companies. By distributing the software
world wide, it creates great advertisement for the software companies and their
products. Although the software company is losing profits from that particular
version, it could generate future sales with other versions. Also, when the
pirates distribute the software this could be a ...

We have been living through an age of computers for a short while now and there are already many people world wide that are computer literate.
According to Using Computers: A Gateway to Information World Wide Web Edition, over 250 million Personal Computers (PC's) were in use by 1995, and one out of every three homes had a PC (Shelly, Cashman,& Waggoner, ...

When it comes to graphics, the Playstation wins again. All of the Nintendo 64 games have polygonal graphics, where the Playstation can also support film graphics for games that star real life actions. If the gamer enjoys watching a story line in a real life situation, Playstation would be the better choice to go with.
