Parallel computing

To overcome the limitations of manual switching; automatic exchanges, having Electro-mechanical components, were developed. Strowger exchange, the first automatic exchange having direct control feature, appeared in 1892 in La Porte (Indiana). Though it improved upon the performance of a manual exchange it still had a number of disadvantages, viz., a large number of mechanical parts, limited availability, inflexibility, bulky in size etc. As a result of further research and development, Crossbar…

All of my life I have enjoyed using computers, it was until recently that I had wanted to be able to fix them, to build them. It is a major dream of mine now that I am older and more readily prepared for such complex thinking and analyzing skills that are required when being a computer repair technician. Computers, how they work, how to fix them, is all in a day's work for a computer repair technician. They jump to the rescue to fix and pull a computer back from the brink of death, whether it…

The movie industry in India is definitely undergoing changes to cater to modern mindsets of younger generation who are more liberalized. In the past, movies tend to be portrayed more stereotypes such as gender, storytelling and culture. However, with revolutions in the information and communications technology, Indian movies are becoming more diasporic, taking into account the audiences outside India. Hence, this idea intrigued us into the issue of stereotypes and if any changes in the…

I used to believe that geometry wasn’t possible without algebra, that geometry was essentially a representation of algebra. I didn’t have an experience of geometry that focused on the creativity and ingenuity that I’ve come to now know. Chapter 6 of Journey Through Genius reiterates how impressive the discipline of geometry truly is. Cardano’s solution to the general solution was astonishing, to me, because of the literal use of geometry to find the appropriate algebraic identities and the…

One of the first challenges scientists faced in building the modern society was the unavailability of a convenient, reliable, and cheap method of communication - a dream window through which one could see and talk to the whole world. When the first computer was invented, no one could have known that this amazing device would be the basic need of life for humans in the near future. In the modern era, a person without access to a computer or the Internet is as good as an alien- with whom we can’t…

CHAPTER ONE SUMMARY: THE IMPORTANCE OF MIS Q1: Why is Introduction to MIS the most importance course in the business school? Moore’s Law is a principle about the history of computing hardware which states ‘the number of transistors per square inch on an integrated chip doubles every 18 months’. As more and more transistors fit in on an integrated chip, the better the performance of said chip improves, at a lower cost. This law is named after Gordon Moore, cofounder of Intel corporation. It is…

We have come to an end of an era as the old ICT Curriculum is replaced by a more up-to-date Computing Curriculum Programme of Study (PoS) that will enhance the learning of the pupils and prepare them for the “digital world” we live in. According to Education Secretary Michael Gove, the current ICT curriculum has not been able to equip and prepare the children to the “new world” and that there is a need to “develop skills for the 21st century” to eradicate the skills deficiency in the job market…

was certainly influenced by family members who always encouraged me to pursue my career in engineering.

In this Ever-changing universe of Computer Technology, where each new day sees a spate of new…

My chosen major is Computer Science with a business concentration. I have always had an affinity for computers. It seems like on some level they speak to me and I wanted to learn how to speak back in their language. I also am a pretty big gamer and learning how to write and design games is something I have wanted to learn since I was about thirteen years old. Another reason I want to major in computer science is the ongoing proliferation of Internet connected devices and devices with single chip…
