What is the purpose of having a clock screensaver?
Screen savers used to help a computer screen not get too hot back in the early days of personal computers. Now, screen savers are used more for fun than function. A clock screen saver is a gadget which shows the time when the computer is inactive. One would always be able to know what time it is when the computer is sitting idle.
What effect did sprite have on the world?
If you're asking about computer animation, read on. In the early days of computer games, it became necessary to move a block of screen bits as if they were a single character. Remember Donkey Kong?This proved a valuable concept, and was embodied in an early All-in-one computer office programme called Framework. And if you look for Framework in a Windows system, you'll find it.It is the bit by which you can move a pane of data (~window) across the screen as a whole.I imagine similar references apply in Mac systems as well.So the end answer is - a huge effect on computing.
Is it possible to make your computer touchscreen with an ir camera?
The touch screen feature requires either a screen or a plate(digitizer) you put in front of the screen. Then the touch inputs can be received by the computer via USB(Serial in the old days).Some of the systems can use a camera or IR led's(early HP touch smart PCs) to see your finger location as well.

What was the First word processing software?
If I can remember correctly is was called "Displaywrite", I used it in the early 80's. It had a black screen (CRT) and green letters.
Why is an error in a computer program called a bug?
The term "bug" was coined by Grace Hopper, an early computer pioneer, in 1946. While she was working with a computer one day, she found a dead moth stuck inside it.

What is shadow mask method?
The shadow mask is one of two major technologies used to manufacture cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions and computer displays that produce color images. All early color televisions and the majority of CRT computer monitors used shadow mask technology. A shadow mask is a metal plate punched with tiny holes that separate the colored phosphors in the layer behind the front glass of the screen. Three electron guns at the back of the screen sweep across the mask, with the beams only reaching the screen when they pass over the holes. As the guns are physically separated at the back of the tube, their beams approach the mask from three slightly different angles, so after passing through the holes they hit slightly different locations on the screen. The screen is patterned with dots of colored phosphor positioned so they can only be hit by the beam from only one of the guns passing through only one of the holes. For instance, a particular spot on the screen can only be hit by the beam from the "blue gun" passing through a particular hole in the mask. This arrangement allows the colored guns to address individual dots on the screen, even though their beams are much too large and too poorly aimed to do so without the mask in place. The red, green, and blue phosphors for each pixel are generally arranged in a triangular shape (sometimes called a "triad"). For television use, modern displays (starting in the late 1960s) use rectangular slots instead of circular holes, improving brightness

Who invented the first computer screen?
Until the early 1980's most monitors were terminals. They were boxy video display terminals (VDT's) combined with an attached keyboard.In 1981, IBM introduced the first PC, also known as a "three-piece computer" because the monitor, keyboard and CPU were separate, rather than earlier computer terminals, which combined the monitor and keyboard.
