These various types of electronic flip flops were first introduced by a computer design course at UCLA by Montgomery Phister. Another important person in the history of electronic flip flops was known as Dr. Eldred Nelson, which came upon in the introduction of the most commonly known JK Flip Flop. The foundation of the name…

In a society like today we take for granted many things; things such as computers and other technology. Does Alan Turing ring a bell? However, it may not to some; he was a pleasing brilliant mathematician that was persecuted because of his homosexuality rather than being seen for his brilliance. Turing’s invention of defeating the enigma of the Nazi code made an ostentatious impact on human history. The Imitation Game a boundless film based on a real story that can be a great addition to the…

When video games and computers are mentioned, what often comes to mind are consoles that microchips are inserted into and controls that are used to change what is happening on a screen. However, in the future, this technology that is used for entertainment could become a simulation that people have their consciousness downloaded into so that they can experience what is happening inside the video game themselves. Virtnet, a place in The Game of Lives by James Dashner, is a virtual world created…

in the 1980’s experienced a huge cultural jump. In those ten years many new technological discoveries came to be and since then they’ve only been advancing with the help of some technological geniuses. Technology is better in 2016 because phones, computers and medical technology is more advanced now. Phones…

field. Hardware engineering nowadays is growing because of the use of computers in everything. We use computers in, cars, boats, planes, medical equipment, and much more. If we use these things that field is going to grow bigger and bigger, and it is creating more jobs for people that need them. Some things that a hardware engineer do are, design important blueprints, analyze data from the test that they perform, and upgrade computer software and hardware in their workplace. It is very…

this technology, workers in service-based firms are no longer tied to a physical location, as they can work from their homes. Services that fall in this category include accounting, legal advice, education, insurance, investments, data analysis, computer programming, and consulting. Any service provider with the appropriate telecommunications systems can be located anywhere and still performs her job. Working at home has two main advantages (1) decreased costs through smaller offices, and (2)…

The history of the modern computer is relatively new. What we think of today of computers was not even brought into the world until the 1940’s. If it was not for the competitiveness of World War II, we could be thirty years behind where we are today. The need for faster, more efficient ways of computation and communication developed into a contest for who would have the biggest advantage in war by ways of technology. This race between the great world powers of the United States, Britain, and…

best. Though Jobs founded Apple purely with the idea to produce computers, the company later branched out to make many other successful products such as the iPad, iPhone, iPod, and Mac as well. Steve Jobs creatively led Apple’s success with a drive and focus on harnessing technology to build innovative products that won customers by enriching experiences. The history of computers is very fascinating to begin with. The first computer was created in 1938 by German engineer Konrad Zuse. The model…

Companies have to develop a delicate balance between policies that are too intrusive and properly monitor employees in order to prevent criminal or socially intolerable activities, which are detrimental to…

1 Ten years ago if someone had told me that one day I would be interested in becoming a computer software engineer, I would have frowned and said “that’s stupid”. After reaching a higher level of maturity, although only slightly, the prospect of becoming a computer software engineer is much more appealing. Software engineers enjoy high salaries, generally consistent work schedules, and comfortable working environments. Jobs in software engineering can be found all over the country, and there are…
