Who is a Computing Professional?

Absolutely anyone who chooses to call themselves that and attempts to gain financially from it.

There are "Computing Professionals" for example hired by many computer companies (such as Dell) who's job it is to answer a phone, then ask you a series of multiple choice (yes/no) questions as they are displayed on the screen and then try and solve your problems based on what the computer tells them. This is a fantastic "Computing professional" alternative to working as a burger flipper for minimum wage. The people doing it simply need to be able to listen, read and click yes or no. They don't even need to know how to use a computer themselves. If the database can't solve the problem, they pass the problem to the next level of tech support which are people who may have actually tried to understand computers. It's pure genius by companies like Dell to do this since it cuts down the cost of skilled labor possibly by a factor of 100.

As a bonus, a computer expert is someone who knows enough about computers to fix some problems, but not enough about computers to understand how complex they really are. I have written operating systems from scratch, I have soldered together small motherboards under a microscope that I designed and designed the logic in the chips myself. I am truly NOT a computer expert. I am however quite skilled with them.

NEVER trust a computer expert! They'll probably charge you a fortune and make things worse then when you started.

What are examples of technology as processes?

Examples of technology as processes include power generation, gas production, quantum computing, and cloud computing.


What are advantages of analog tachometer?

Analog computing mechanisms can reach a solution much faster than digital computing mechanisms can for the same problem; but to get more digits of accuracy, analog computing mechanisms require expensive high-precision, low-drift, temperature-stable components, while digital computing mechanisms can be expanded inexpensively to as many digits as desired.


Compare the difference between pervasive computing and other computings?

First, let's look at what they mean. Ubiquitous means everywhere. Pervasive means "diffused throughout every part of." In computing terms, those seem like somewhat similar concepts. Ubiquitous computing would be everywhere, and pervasive computing would be in all parts of your life. That might mean the difference between seeing kiosks on every street corner and finding that you could -- or need to -- use your Palm handheld to do absolutely every information-based task. And, in fact, that's where the difference between these two types of computing lies. Pervasive computing involves devices like handhelds -- small, easy-to-use devices -- through which we'll be able to get information on anything and everything. That's the sort of thing that Web-enabled cell phones promise. Ubiquitous computing, though, eschews our having to use computers at all. Instead, it's computing in the background, with technology embedded in the things we already use. That might be a car navigation system that, by accessing satellite pictures, alerts us to a traffic jam ahead, or an oven that shuts off when our food is cooked. Where IBM is a leader in the pervasive computing universe -- it has a whole division, aptly called the Pervasive Computing division, devoted to it -- Xerox started the ubiquitous thing back in 1988. Ubiquitous computing "helped kick off the recent boom in mobile computing research," notes its inventor, Mark Weiser, who came out with the concept at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center, "although it is not the same thing as mobile computing, nor a superset nor a subset." That means that people who use ubiquitous computing to mean computing anytime, anyplace -- to describe hordes on a street corner checking their stock prices until the "walk" light comes on or efforts to dole out laptops to all students on a college campus -- aren't using the rightterm. We don't really need to use either one. I'd be happy to call pervasive computing mobile computing, and to call ubiquitous computing embedded or invisible or transparent computing -- or even just built-in functions. Besides, until either ubiquitous or pervasive computing is anywhere and everywhere, those alternatives seem more accurate.

What is the difference between hard computing and soft computing?

Soft computing differs from conventional (hard) computing in that, unlike hard computing, it is tolerant of imprecision, uncertainty, partial truth, and approximation. In effect, the role model for soft computing is the human mind.
