"Computers"

Generally, any device that can perform numerical calculations, even an adding machine, may be called a computer but nowadays this term is used especially for digital computers. Computers that once weighed 30 tons now may weigh as little as 1.8 kilograms. Microchips and microprocessors have considerably reduced the cost of the electronic components required in a computer. Computers come in many sizes and shapes such as special-purpose, laptop, desktop, minicomputers, supercomputers. Special-purpose computers can perform specific tasks and their operations are limited to the programmes built into their microchips. There computers are the basis for electronic calculators and can be found in thousands of electronic products, including digital watches and automobiles. Basically, these computers do the ordinary arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. General-purpose computers are much more powerful because they can accept new sets of instructions. The smallest fully functional computers are called laptop computers. Most of the general-purpose computers known as personal or desktop computers can perform almost 5 million operations per second. Today's personal computers are know to be used for different purposes: for testing new theories or models that cannot be examined with experiments, as valuable educational tools due to various encyclopedias, dictionaries, educational programmes, in book-keeping, accounting and management. Proper application of computing equipment in different industries is likely to result in proper management, effective distribution of materials and resources, more efficient production and trade. Minicomputers are high-speed computers that have greater data manipulating capabilities than personal computers do and that can be used simultaneously by many users. These machines are primarily used by larger businesses or by large research and university centers. The speed and power of supercomputers, the highest class of computers, are almost beyond comprehension, and their capabilities are continually being improved. The most complex of these machines can perform nearly 32 billion calculations per second and store 1 billion characters in memory at one time, and can do in one hour what a desktop computer would take 40 years to do. They are used commonly by government agencies and large research centers. Linking together networks of several small computer centers and programming them to use a common language has enabled engineers to create the supercomputer. The aim of this technology is to elaborate a machine that could perform a trillion calculations per second.

Installing drivers on your laptop

Driver – a program that allows the Windows operating system to access a specific computer device (video card, network card, printer, etc.). Example: You installed or reinstalled Windows, start working on your computer, and the screen resolution does not suit you, you go to the screen settings and can not set the normal screen resolution, because the video card driver is not installed. Or you suddenly find that your computer or laptop has no sound. Why? Everything is correct — the driver is not installed on the audio equipment. Trying to get online, but you don't have access? The driver is not installed on the network card. To avoid such problems and correctly install the drivers in the system, we will talk about this in this article. I will tell you step-by-step how to install drivers on your laptop or computer in several ways. Without the correct driver the device will not be able to operate normally. This is why it is so important that you have all the necessary drivers installed in your system! I will immediately warn you that before installing the driver, you need to make a system restore point. Why is this necessary? Because if something goes wrong or the driver gets " crooked” or you install the wrong driver, the system can be rolled back. Always try to follow the following rule when installing drivers: First install the drivers for the motherboard chipset, then the driver for the video adapter, and then the other drivers.

Installing the driver from disk

When you purchase a computer or laptop, it should always be bundled with installation disks with drivers and software. When installing or reinstalling the operating system, you can install drivers for devices from these disks. There is nothing complicated in this, just insert the disk into the drive, click on the installation file, the driver installation program starts, then follow the instructions in the installation program. The problem is that the disk may have outdated driver versions or the disks may be lost. In this case, use the following methods to install drivers.

Hardware

Mechanical, magnetic, electronic and electrical devices composing a computer system are referred to as hardware. Hardware is divided into four categories: input devices; processing devices; storage devices; output devices. The purpose of the input devices is to collect data and to convert it into a form suitable for computer processing. The most common input devices are a keyboard and a mouse. Other input devices may be: a scanner, a microphone, a joystick, a photo or video camera. The purpose of the processing devices is to retrieve, interpret and direct the execution of the commands provided to the computer. With a well-designed CPU you can perform highly sophisticated tasks in a very short time. Memory is the system component of the computer where information is stored. There are two types of computer memory: RAM and ROM. The purpose of the storage devices is to store commands and data in a relatively permanent form and to retrieve them when needed for processing. The most common storage devices are: hard disk, floppy disk, different kinds of compact disks and so-called “flash drives”. The purpose of the output devices is to show the user the information produced by a computer system. Information may be output in a hardcopy or a softcopy form. The examples of output devices may be a printer, a monitor, an audio system etc.Modem represents communication hardware used for data transfer from one computer to another via telephone lines. Satellites and TelecommunicationsA worldwide system of satellites has been created and it is possible to transmit signals around the globe by bouncing them from one satellite to an earth station and then to another satellite and soon. Originally designed to carry voice messages, they are able to carry hundreds of thousands of separate simultaneous calls. These systems are being adopted to provide for business communications, including the transmission of voice and facsimile messages, data and video data. One cannot doubt that the economic and social impact of these concepts will be very significant. Already, advanced systems of communication are affecting both the layman and the technician. The new global satellite-communication systems offer three kinds of service. The first one is voice messages. Satellite telephones are able to make calls from anywhere on the? Earth to anywhere else. That makes them especially useful to use in remote, third-world villages (some of which already use stationary satellite telephones), for explorers. Today's mobile phones depend on earth-bound transmitters, whose technical standards vary from country to country. Satellite telephones can solve this problem, but it is not a cheap service. The second service is messaging. Satellite messages have the same global coverage as satellite telephones, but carry text alone, which is extremely useful for those with laptop computers. As we see, the Internet works in space too. The only problem for ordinary users is one-way transmissions. This problem is solved by using combine transmissions, when you make a call using land communications and receive ordered information through your satellite plate. The third service is tracking. Voice and messaging systems also tell their users where they are to within a few hundred meters. Combined with the messaging service, the location service could help rescue teams, to find lost adventurers, the police to find stolen cars, exporters to follow the progress of cargoes and so on. Satellite systems provide better positioning information to anyone who has a receiver for their signals. To my thinking, satellite method of communication is the future for all kind of telecommunications.
