Number of words: 2603 - Number of pages: 10.... all
ordinary arithmetic operations can be performed (Soma, 14). The next innovation
in computers took place in 1694 when Blaise Pascal invented the first “digital
calculating machine”. It could only add numbers and they had to be entered by
turning dials. It was designed to help Pascal's father who was a tax collector
(Soma, 32).
In the early 1800's, a mathematics professor named Charles Babbage
designed an automatic calculation machine. It was steam powered and could store
up to 1000 50-digit numbers. Built in to his machine were operations that
inc .....

What Is ISDN?
Number of words: 5167 - Number of pages: 19.... limited number of discrete voltage levels. [Hopkins]
The modem was certainly a big breakthrough in computer technology. It allowed
computers to communicate with each other by converting their digital
communications into an analog format to travel through the public phone network.
However, there is a limit to the amount of information that a common analog
telephone line can hold. Currently, it is about 28.8 kbit/s. [Hopkins] ISDN
allows multiple digital channels to be operated simultaneously through the same
regular phone jack in a home or office. The change come .....

Definition Of An IP Address
Number of words: 213 - Number of pages: 1.... as both a name , which is
referred to as the domain name , and a number ( 198.137.240.100 ) , which

InterNIC will assign you a Class C address, which consists of 255 unique IP
numbers for you to assign to your employees.
If you need more than 255 IP address, you can apply for a Class B
address, which will give you over 65,000 unique IP addresses. Class A
addresses are for very large companies. Both Class A and Class B addresses
are very hard, if not impossible, to get. Usually, companies will get
multiple Class C addresse .....

Computer Crimes
Number of words: 1512 - Number of pages: 6.... how to and tries to gain access to the system. Why do they do it, well
lets go to a book and see "Avid young computer hackers in their preteens and
teens are frequently involved in computer crimes that take the form of
trespassing, invasion of privacy, or vandalism. Quite often they are mearly out

Classification Analysis
Number of words: 565 - Number of pages: 3.... actually doing. Simply put, without a
monitor, the computer itself is basically useless. Another form of output,
which is rarely noticed by many computer users however, is the printer.
Many people have probably used a printer before, but it is just that they
never realize it is also a form of output.
As opposed to 'output', 'input' consists of components that take in
information from the users themselves so that the computer will know the
tasks it is supposed to perform and accomplish. The keyboard is classified
as a form of input because this is where .....

BlueTooth
Number of words: 745 - Number of pages: 3.... Japan, and the United States. What makes so special is its ability to create a wireless link between devices equipped with this new technology.
opens us up to a new level of data communications. By making it possible to communicate wirelessly to any device equipped with a chip. Mobile phones can communicate with lap top computers, digital daily planners can be linked to personal computers and have e-mail down loaded to them the moment it is sent a multitude of possibilities are born. works on a 24.5 GHz ISM "free band" which means that there is no restric .....

Parity/Non-parity Check
Number of words: 236 - Number of pages: 1.... To Prevent this from happening, a parity check system was developed.
Each character is represented by a byte consisting of a combination of
intelligence bits (seven bits in ASCII and eight bits in EBCDIC) and an
additional bit called a check or parity bit.
Even parity codes place a check bit with each byte that contains an
uneven number of 1 bits. (Remember that a bit is either 1 or o). Because
the check bit is transmitted only with characters composed of an uneven
number of 1 bits,all characters transmitted will have n even number of 1
bits. The check bit is transmitted to and from the computer along .....
