Is a graphics pad an input or output?
It is an input because it is giving the computer information. Things like printers are an output because they are taking information out of the computer and giving the info or data to the user. Keyboards, mice, scanners are all input devices. Things like speakers, and headphones are output.
What is the purpose of WYSIWYG?
You asked the question in the typography category, about the computer phenomenon of 'what you see is what you get'.
Before WYSIWYG, printed results on a page never looked like the video screen text. This made printing a rather unsettling exercise, since you were forced to adjust the text by trial and error. All typesetting for printing in magazines, newspapers and so forth was done by workers using machines called Linotypes. These machines functioned like typewriters, but set metal plates with type, which were then photographed, turned into photographic negatives, and then printed on industrial, commercial printers.
With the announcement of PostScript and the first typesetting product based on it, PageMaker from Aldus Corporation in the mid 1980s, a page designer could control the type style, leading, margins and more just by dragging 'edges' of type on an image visible on a computer monitor.
Then, using a PostScript printer, the page designer could produce photographic negatives from imagesetters, a type of computer printer. These negatives were then sent to the industrial printers for paper print production.
WYSIWYG made desktop publishing possible, and over time eliminated the need for both Linotype machines and the enormous photographic setups required to produce printing negatives.
What computer application can take numbers and electronically calculate data?
Calculator lol pretty high tech stuff
How many software in computer?
This is such an open ended question that any number of answers may prevail. I suggest the following:
Operating Systems (OS)
Hardware Drivers
Application Software
Games
Media Players
Connectivity Software
Software can also be categorized according to the following:
Retail software: This type of software is sold off the shelves of retail stores. It includes expensive packaging designed to catch the eye of shoppers and, as such, is generally more expensive. An advantage of retail software is that it comes with printed manuals and installation instructions, missing in hard-copy form from virtually every other category of software. However, when hard-copy manuals and instructions are not required, a downloadable version off the Internet will be less expensive, if available.
OEM software: OEM stands for "Original Equipment Manufacturer" and refers to software sold in bulk to resellers, designed to be bundled with hardware. For example, Microsoft has contracts with various companies including Dell Computers, Toshiba, Gateway and others. Microsoft sells its operating systems as OEM software at a reduced price, minus retail packaging, manuals and installation instructions. Resellers install the operating system before systems are sold and the OEM CD is supplied to the buyer. The "manual" consists of the Help menu built into the software itself. OEM software is not legal to buy unbundled from its original hardware system.
Shareware: This software is downloadable from the Internet. Licenses differ, but commonly the user is allowed to try the program for free, for a period stipulated in the license, usually thirty days. At the end of the trial period, the software must be purchased or uninstalled. Some shareware incorporates an internal clock that disables the program after the trial period unless a serial number is supplied. Other shareware designs continue to work with "nag" screens, encouraging the user to purchase the program.
Crippleware: This software is similar to shareware except that key features will cease to work after the trial period has ended. For example, the "save" function, the print function, or some other vital feature necessary to use the program effectively may become unusable. This "cripples" the program. Other types of crippleware incorporate crippled functions throughout the trial period. A purchase is necessary to unlock the crippled features.
Demo software: Demo software is not intended to be a functioning program, though it may allow partial functioning. It is mainly designed to demonstrate what a purchased version is capable of doing, and often works more like an automated tutorial. If a person wants to use the program, they must buy a fully functioning version.
Adware: This is free software that is supported by advertisements built into the program itself. Some adware requires a live Internet feed and uses constant bandwidth to upload new advertisements. The user must view these ads in the interface of the program. Disabling the ads is against the license agreement. Ad ware is not particularly popular.
Spyware: Spyware software is normally free, but can be shareware. It clandestinely "phones home" and sends data back to the creator of the spyware, most often without the user's knowledge. For example, a multimedia player might profile what music and video files the software is called upon to play. This information can be stored with a unique identification tag associated with the specific program on a user's machine, mapping a one-to-one relationship. The concept of spyware is very unpopular, and many programs that use spyware protocols were forced to disclose this to users and offer a means to turn off reporting functions. Other spyware programs divulge the protocols in their licenses, and make acceptance of the spyware feature a condition of agreement for using the software.
Freeware: Freeware is also down loadable off the Internet and free of charge. Often freeware is only free for personal use, while commercial use requires a paid license. Freeware does not contain spyware or Ad ware If it is found to contain either of these, it is reclassified as such. Public domain software: This is free software, but unlike freeware, public domain software does not have a specific copyright owner or license restrictions. It is the only software that can be legally modified by the user for his or her own purposes. People are encouraged to read licenses carefully when installing software, as they vary widely.
there are many types of soft wares
How is television the best invention of the last 100 years?
Television is one of the few inventions that truly changed the world.
It was the key to delivering images to whole nations and indeed the whole world as they happened. It was the first technology that allowed many people to see and experience events that were hundreds or thousands of miles away.
Television is one of the great informers. It delivers information in a way that other media couldn't. Although the Internet is perhaps taking over as the major method of information transfer, television had that role for three quarters of a century.
Television provided low cost entertainment. Before television, theater was the main form of entertainment and it was expensive as well as hard to get to at times. Television brought entertainment right into the home and it made entertainment a passive activity.
Television has changed home life dramatically. In the early part of the 20th century, the home was centered around a kitchen or around a dining table, the two places where a family got together. The television made its way into the center of the family and now takes center stage in the living room.
The effects of television are felt throughout all of our daily lives and will continue to play a huge role in our education, entertainment and way of life.
What are two main types of ups?
Types of UPS
1. Standby UPS
Standby UPS is then used. When the power supply shuts down. Then it supplies the consumed power to the computer when the power is off. In which the computer's data is safe.
2. Line Interactive UPS
Designing a Line Interactive UPS is similar to a standby UPS. It is a combination of both UPS online and offline. This UPS is used for small businesses. And at the same time it controls the electrical effect of the UPS output.
3. Standby Online Hybrid
Standby on-line hybrid is a topology used in UPS under 10 kva. Which is switched on from battery to standby converter. The battery charger is much smaller than it is in Stand by UPS

What are temporary internet files used for?
When you use a web browser to access a page on the Internet, it is usually made up of several files - each image will be at least one file, there may well be "flash" elements also separate files. The browser will keep local copies of these files and the next time you go to that webpage, instead of downloading all the image and flash files again, it uses the local copies. These local copies are temporary Internet files. You can safely delete them, and the next time you go to a website, the entire page will be downloaded again.l
If we are sending a file in one go and if some error occurred in between the file transfer then the complete file has to be resend which wastes the bandwidth so to prevent this, the file to send is divided in to smaller unit which we call packet, and then send packets 1 by one so that if a packet is lost then we need to send only that particular packet not the complete file.
What are the advantages of system?
The advantage of system software is it is made for the os. so it will run smother than some others.

Where does the i in front of products like iPod come from?
well Apple Inc. said that the "I" in Imac stood for internet and berfore there was "I" there was some other word in front of stuff like that but the "I" really caught on and then well viola oh and bye the way here are a list of things that start with "I" from Apple "Imac" "Ipod" "Iphone "Ilife" "Iwork" "Idontknowtherest" Originally, when the iMac was introduced, the i stood for internet and signified the ease in which one could connect to the internet. Now, it is just kind of "their thing" and really doesn't hold any significance other than indicating that it is likely an apple product.
What is the difference between maintenance and support?
The difference between maintenance and support is that one focuses on prevention, and one focuses on fixing problems. Maintenance is proactive, maintenance helps keep something running as it should. Support is helping to fix or figure out an issue that has already occurred.

What are the features of tabs in word processing?
Tabs allow you to accurately position text on a page, and keep it aligned with similar text on other lines. If you have a document with lots of formal headings, like a report of a CV, there will often be main headings and sub-headings that you want to keep directly underneath each other. Some people do this by pushing things over with the spacebar, but that is not a good way. Things won't always be perfectly in line that way, and if the font size is changed, the positions of the text will also change. This does not happen with tabs. Tabs can align text so that there left sides are aligned, or their right sides are aligned, or they are all centred under a specific point, not just centrally on the page. Tabs can also be used to align numbers so that the decimal point is in the same place in a list of numbers. Tabs are very useful, but need practice and care to get used of how they actually work.

In GSM which frequency uplink or downlink is greater?
The main reason of selecting a lower frequency for up-link channel in GSM is because of free space path loss. The more is the frequency the more is the loss.
As mobile phones, being a battery driven device, have limitation in terms of power we should always look for lower path loss. Whereas BTS antennas can transmit the signal (in down-link channel) with a comparatively high power, which will compensate the path loss.
And that is why it is chosen to have lower frequency for up-link and higher frequency for down-link in GSM standards. The same theory applies in almost all type of radio communication.
NOTE: Frequency and power are independent of each other. For example you can control the transmission power of BTS antenna, which still transmits in the same frequency.
