 Do you know what shrink nano technology is. This form of technology has become widely used these days. There are two fields which are used presently, these are biotechnology and nanotechnology. This deals with materials which are one thousandth the diameter of the human hair. The combine there these minerals and materials and use them to improve performance and open new possibilities in activities like water purification, biomedicine , battery power, Environmental repair and agriculture. Biotechnology is also now being used to cure cancer. There are now wide range of companies who are getting into nano and biotechnology. These companies offer the technologies of tomorrow today. These companies have created energy efficient systems and products which deal with industries including solar power, air and water protection, food, human and animal diagnostics, optoelctronics and these are just a few of them. The world has always been depending of fossil fuels. These companies aim at usin

The Symptoms of Computer Addiction

Image
 Kids tend to spend all their spare time in front of the computer and maybe with their friends if they have access to a computer network. The adults who are obsessed with computers prefer to lie about the number of hours they spend in front of the monitor . The main expenses in an addicted person's life have to do with their vice. They want more expensive accessories, a broader band or a more performing monitor. The main problem a person who spends too many hours in front of the computer is faced with is the tunnel syndrome. They get all kinds of insomnia, severe sleep disturbances, as well as other health problems. Also, they have a lot of headaches, a lot of problems with their sight and they end up neglecting their appearance and their hygiene . Therefore, they have problems with their teeth, they don't wash their hair anymore, they don't wash their clothes anymore and so on. If their addiction persists for a very long time, they can even end up depressed, hysterical o

How to Change IP Address?

Image
 The Internet Protocol (IP) address is popularly known as the IP address. This private address is used by PCs for any computer network for the communication and identification processes. It is used for the identification of electronic devices connected on a network. Therefore every device is provided with a unique address. There could be several reasons as to why you might want to change IP. Fortunately, this is something that a user can generally accomplish without any hassle. The exact methods are likely to vary. This depends on how the system of the PC is set up. Here are some basic instructions for some more popular systems. 1. Before getting more specific with the operating systems , you could try any of the two approaches. First, detach the cable or DSL modem for a couple of minutes. Five minutes is generally enough to reset the IP address before you restart the modem again and switch on the power. If five minutes is not enough, try to leave the modem off and keep it unplugge

Technological Evolution

Image
 High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) has been available since 2003, but the connectivity has gained widespread use with the spread of Blu-Ray, HD TV and similar High definition into mainstream life. Micro HDMI cables are the newest development of the technology , using smaller USB style end connectors to plug into the ever decreasing size ports. It is only a quarter of the size of previous connectors, but allows the same high standard technological transmission of media data to provide high definition data in the receiving device, typically home theater systems . The micro HDMI Cable uses the latest HDMI technology that only arrived during the summer of 2009. It is able to transmit a far higher resolution of picture - typically 4096x2160 pixels, offering over double the clarity of previous versions . And compatible with digital theater definition and currently being developed to allow 3D technology to be transmitted - as in movie theaters . The micro HDMI Cables are relative

Doing An Email Address Search

Image
 Email has became one of the most popular forms of communication throughout the world. At the touch of a few keys you are able to send a friendly greeting, confirm business appointments , and do many other things that interact with your daily life. Sometimes it is important to get in touch with someone, but do not have the address. Thanks to today's high technology it is possible to go on the Internet and do an email address search . Doing an email address search is quite easy. There are a large number of websites where this is possible and simple to do. It is not only possible to get an email address, but it is also possible to do a reverse email search. This might be used when you receive an email from an unknown person and want to trace back to find out who they are. There are also a number of Internet sites where you can go to find someone's name, address, phone number, and other information. Some sites have e-mail directories which are simple when you have a person&

Computer Backup Power

Image
 Backup power supplies, do provide computer back up power and are rated according to the amount of reserve power they can hold. To be precise, all computer backup power systems receive a V/A rating that is an abbreviation for volts/amps. Almost all computer backup power systems do provide a level of power protection that prevent occasional power surges from causing damage to a computer. Many also do provide a software package which automatically shuts down an unattended computer should a power outage occur. In most cases, there is no known way of establishing what Volt/Ampere rating one should purchase for his desktop computer without having to employ very sophisticated equipment, like Kill a Watt meter, just to mention one brand that is very popular. If one uses a meter to determine the power usage of a computer it is imperative that he leaves a safety margin between the estimated power required by the machine and the Volt/Ampere rating of the UPS. A reliable rule of thumb is to buy

Computers Education

Image
 The digital revolution as well as the rapid growth of information technology has made mankind become dependent on computers in almost every part of our daily life. Today, life without computers is practically impossible and hard to image for a lot of people. With the emergence of internet, knowledge sharing has taken a new turn and vast resources are available on the net that facilitates learning and practice . Computers not only play an important role in many professions, but also in the field of education. Computer education is an integral part of school and college curriculum's in the current scenario. Due to the easy access to resources, students can widen their knowledge in various subjects and also gather interesting information through self-learning . The horizons of learning have expanded rapidly. Students now browse through the content online and are exposed to the latest updated information rather than pouring over prescribed textbooks like before. Online learning

Technology

Image
 The mind of technology is breeding grounds for new inventions, while the benefits with technology serve to make life so much more interesting than, say a hundred years ago. I have to admit sometimes I wonder if it's more enjoyable . What would we do in today's society without the benefits that technology provides? A year or so ago I stopped at a yard sale. Among the various things for sale, there were a few science fiction books a man was selling, claiming he was selling them for his son. As I was paying for the books a statement made by the man at first angered me. Then a feeling of pity replaced my rising anger. Obviously, this man had little tact and was no salesman. Mostly I believe I felt sorriest for his son. He said he wondered what kind of mind would read such trash. One thing for sure, if we all had such closed minds like this man's, we would still be in the horse and buggy days. Like the man said, none are as blind as he that refuses to see. The state of im

Structure of A Computer

Image
 In the previous article we looked into Computers in a conventional perspective as they were used initially and what their intended use is. We today continue forward our learning with a look into the Structure of A Computer - its basic building blocks and prime components. The Computer comprises of 3 basic components as we have already seen - Input Device, Processing Unit and Output Device. Let us look into these in more detail: Input Device: Transmits the raw data and instructions that are prepared and readable by humans into the computer as a series of electronic pulses. Processing Unit (more commonly known as the Central Processing Unit or the C.P.U.): The raw data is processed according to the program. Output Device: Re-transfers the processed data from machine -coded form into human-intelligible form as the result. The 3 major units in the CPU: The input passes through 3 major units in the CPU- Primary Memory: the input is first stored in the Primary Memory Control Unit (C.U.)

What Is A Computer?

Image
 A question that today sounds absurd, as everyone seems to know the answer to this redundant question. The fact actually is, everyone has their own interpretation of What A Computer is as they see it. The field of computers has seen such unprecedented growth that has quite changed the definition and use of computers as it were, specially with the silly forms it has taken today ranging from laptops to netbooks and now to tablet PCs - all of which have contributed their share in obliterating its importance and existence - the biggest factor of all being The Internet . Today, a computer would more vastly be viewed as a " youngster's dream toy", a gadget that they are addicted to, that they use to surf the internet, a device that they can listen to songs on, view videos , store pictures, and more popularly - be connected using social networking. A computer has been reduced to a a device that no longer needs any prior experience or learning to operate it, quite in contras

How Google Traffic Works

Image
 With the advent of tools and apps like Google Maps, many of us who were once directionally challenged, can now arrive at the designated location with minimal or no detours along the way. After all, now we can just enter in the start address and the ending address then Viola! We are presented with step by step directions and even pictures to make the trip as painless as possible. Not only are there pictures and street by street directions, but now you can use the Google Maps Traffic feature and get live traffic data. But have you ever wondered how Google Maps works? After all, someone had to put together this great time saving tool ! Google Maps offers traffic reports/directions for 50 major American cities. For each city, driving conditions are indicated by color-coded lines. Red indicates that there are significant slowdowns; green means no congestion and yellow shows minor holdups. This information is ascertained by Google through the road sensors that detect the speed of the ve

How to Run Windows on a Mac

Image
 I really don't think you need a PC to be a successful Internet marketer but I am not anti-Windows! I think that competition is a good thing. I would not necessarily want the world to have a choice of only one operating system , even if it happened to be the one I prefer. Of course, in a perfect world, the market share of the main competitors would be closer to 50-50, but of course we don't live in a perfect world . (Actually, in a perfect world, market share should be divided by about 33% among the top three competitors, Windows, Mac, and Linux , with the remaining 1% share available just to give someone else a bit of a chance to break through with a new OS!) Admittedly, in some specialized fields, it is easier to find software for the PC than for the Mac; it's just that Internet marketing is not one of them. I saved this chapter for last because I really know of no Windows-only program that is essential for the Internet marketer. However, if you are a switcher who is

Voice Activated Technology

Image
 Over the last couple of years many software manufacturers have been working on voice activated technology. We all remember 2001 a Space Odyssey with HAL the computer. I was fascinated by the ability to talk to a computer and have that artificial mind talk back to us. The next time I encountered computers was while watching Star Trek. We could talk to a machine and with only our voice command it to take us to the Bridge or make an entire meal appear out of thin air. It all seemed like a great idea at the time but no one believed that you would ever really be able to experience this wonder, at least not in our lifetimes . However, today we are a lot closer to those fantasies. I'm dictating this article with voice activated software. In theory, I will be saving hours in the future preparing upcoming articles with this new technology . For now I am on a learning curve along with my trusty laptop. I tried the earlier versions of voice activated software a few years ago and found i

Mac for Web Marketing?

Image
 Macintosh is the forgotten stepchild of the Internet marketing industry . You've undoubtedly faced frustration when reading a sales page for a promising piece of software for Internet marketers, only to discover that it runs only on the Windows operating system. Or you've read an e-book in which all the screenshots showed were of Windows based software, or watched a video in which everything was done on a PC. Maybe you've read an e-book which recommended "essential" software that was for Windows computers only. Worse, you may have paid good money for a marketing course, only to discover after buying it that the entire system was invalid unless you shelled out for additional software that was for PC only! I once paid good money for a highly recommended course whose sales letter claimed that it explained the entire process of how to make money online. When I received the course, I discovered it was pushing an "upsell" of expensive and complex softwar

Products Of Today's Technology

Image
 Since it really came onto the market in the early 2000s, with its' MP3 players, Apple Inc. has become a company that has really saturated every market it enters. Just in the last ten years, the company has come a long way in terms of the products and services it offers its' customers. From the cell phone industry to reinventing the computer industry, this corporation has become a huge American sensation. In terms of services, the company offers iPod screen repair and iPhone screen repair, to name a few by appointment. If that does not work, they have contracted other companies who specialize in these products to help do the fixing the machine . The company started in the computer business as a competitor to regular personal computers (PCs) that were made mainly using Microsoft software. Originally, Apple did not really come close to a PC, since most businesses already started with PCs the cost to switch was too high and the best operating system was originally with Wind

Trends Of Google

Image
 Have you heard of how Google tracks the number of hits on a particular term being searched by various users? There is a lot behind the scene and Google has been making a killing out of this technology . Lately they have come into the market with something called Google Trends. This is an add-on web facility powered by Google Inc. about the Google search engine . It ideally reflects the frequency of a specific search item, which is entered versus the total search-volumes across varied locations globally . There is a graph representing the trends in which, the horizontal axis reflects the time parameter while the vertical axis shows the frequency of usage of the words or phrases by location and language. It is in fact also possible to refine the definition by location and time periods. Google Trends also lets the user to match the volumes of all the searches among all other terms being searched. It has the ability to reflect the news related search items, which are overlaid over the

Nanotechnology

Image
 It can be deduced that nanotechnology is practically an assembling process which takes place at a molecular level. The new technology is meant to transform the everyday products and the way they are manufactured by manipulating the atoms , so that the materials can be shrunk and improved in time. Although the current products based on nanotechnology are modest, some scientists estimate that nanotechnology will play an extremely important role in the future . Thanks to the improvements made with microscopes , scientists can now place the single atoms where they want for the first time. The potential applications are numerous: microscopic computers, nano-particles which are meant to treat cancer, non-polluting engines and many more. This technology suggests that innovative molecular devices are built using the well-known chemical properties of the atoms and molecules . The secret lies in manipulating the individual atoms and in placing them where they are needed so that they produce t

Software Application Developers

Image
 For software development professionals and hosted software designers - either working individually or as part of larger teams - making sure every stage of a development lifecycle is done correctly and in accordance with time and budget projections is important. More often than not, development failures can be attributed lack of focus on progress in each individual stage and failure to pay attention to issue tracking protocol . A recent article from Computerworld UK, however, cites three key performance indicators (KPIs) that developers or teams should look out for during their processing in order to measure progress - productivity, quality, duration. On the surface, measuring productivity is easy to conduct, as units can simply log how many lines or sections of code are being produced each hour, day or week. Determining the quality of a project can be done by taking the percentage of defects that have been removed during the software and game development process and seeing how ma
