Technology

The practical application of knowledge, especially in a particular area, is called technology. Advances in technology affect every area of our lives. This category is for questions about technology and includes everything from how to remove a scratch from a CD to applications of electronics to what polyester is made from and more.

Why kill Jaguars?

People in Africa kill those amazing animals even though that is illegal to do. Then they make some blankets, clothes, shoes and many more things like that. They do it to get money from people from America and Europe because they buy those products from those animals and they use them to make homes better looking. To make a blanket 3x4m they need 6 Jaguars skins. Now you all can think about if it is worth it killing those amazing animals to make your house nicer!

How do they program street names on gps devices?

On a GPS there is a database ( e.g. NAME => AGE, (Adam, 13 Brian,900)) of names of places against LONGITUDINAL AND LATITUDINAL.

(NAME OF PLACE => LONGITUDINAL AND LATITUDINAL)

They then access the database and return the street places on a GPS map using a program they have made in a programming language e.g. Java, c sharp.

Can you predict when 100 billion or even one trillion transistors may fit on a single chip?

The current number is around 3 billion. Assuming that Moore's Law continues to hold, there would be 100 billion by the end of the decade (2020) and a trillion by around 2027.

However, as the transistors become smaller there are several issues that are expected to affect the predictions of Moore's Law. Quantum effects are likely to begin playing a part. The chips will generate a lot of heat and drawing that away will become an issue.

Until 2005, transistor numbers were increasing brioadly in line with Moore's Law but the the 2010 update to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors expected growth to slow at the end of 2013, after which time transistor counts will double more slowly.

How has the process of maintaining financial records been effected by the technology?

Hmmm. Excellent Question. It Seams like technology should be improving the way that we maintain any record. truth be told now financial institutions have to maintain the "digital" copy and a hard copy. while you think your information is secure, anyone with a d- in computer science can Google how to "hack" a network and recover any information that they deem necessary ...or helpful to them. at least with only paper copy's you know that you could truly safeguard, or at the very least destroy (for sure) any evidence. If you delete anything stored via technology on PCs it can easily be re-accessed in a matter of seconds. The end result of technology is people think they are much more secure and can access their information faster and easier... news flash, If you can get to it easier so can a thief. This leads people to believe that they are safe and thus they become much more careless than before. Plus with the insecurity of technology and the still much needed maintenance of the hard copies it is costing the tech costs plus the cost of the old ways. technology ... good for quick easy access... to ALL, even the ones you don't want to have it.

Why did he invent the Victorians bikes Karl Dries?

The man was called Karl Drais, and he was a German inventor. He was not a "Victorian", because he lived and died before Victoria's reign. He invented the machine he called a 'running machine', and technically it was not a bike because it didn't have pedals.

But apart from that: he invented it for no particular reason, but had worked out that in theory man could move faster and with less effort sitting on this 'machine' and pedalling with his feet. At the time it was more a plaything for rich young men (its nickname was the 'dandy horse') than a practical way of going very fast. The machine would at least have needed smooth, paved roads to make any real speed, and those were still very rare at the time.

What is nano technology how is it used in medical side?

In short nanotechnology is manipulation of matter on atomic or molecular level. Nanotechnology has a large list of applications in medicine. It's use ranges from applications of nanomaterials to nanoelectronic biosensors.

How should you balance tradition and technology?

it will be difficult to balance, tradion is more backward and technology is more forward, tradition can help to limit some technology danger and misuse.

What is the difference between the flash and continuous lighting and why not using continuous lighting for photography?

Continuous light is just what the name implies, light that is on constantly. There are a few kinds of continuous light, tungsten, fluorescent, HMI and LED are the most common. It would take a pretty detailed conversation to explain lighting in detail but here's a short answer. What matters is the source of the light and how it is modified. A direct flash can be very hard but if it is bounced into an umbrella it becomes soft. A fluorescent light is soft by nature and can be diffused further. If you have the money to get the right lights, you can get great light from almost any light source. It all depends on what you want to accomplish. The clarity depends on the quality of the light you are using. If you state what you want to do then it is easier to give you advice on what kind of light to get.

What does PIC mean in technology?

Pic is a word shortend from the word picture.

Or in electronics it can stand for Peripheral Interface Controller.

How can you write text over image using HTML 5?

It would depend on the program you are using and weather or not it is allowable.

What has changed in the making of technology?

In my opinion, (not saying this may be a fact) technology was changed when Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity. Technology started out with the basic, everyday things, like the wheel. As people evolved, so did technology.

What are the three basic components of robot?

Almost anything that would be considered a robot has the following basic elements:

  • A moveable body -- Robots may have wheels, limbs connected by mechanical joints, or other types of moveable segments.
  • An actuator -- In order to be activated, robots may use an electric motor, a hydraulic system, a pneumatic system or a combination of all three.
  • A power source -- A robot needs a power source to drive its actuators. Electric robots use batteries or extension cord. Hydraulic robots need pumps to pressurize the hydraulic fluid, and pneumatic robots need air compressors.
  • An electrical circuit -- The electrical circuit powers the electric motor, solenoid or valves that control hydraulic or pneumatic systems.
  • A reprogrammable brain (computer) -- The computer controls all other components. In order to change the robot's behavior, you just have to reprogram the computer.
  • A sensory system -- Some robots have the ability to collect information about their environment and react to it.

How does information technology give competitive advantage to a business?

Information technology gives people the ability to manipulate, store, retrieve, exchange and acquire information much faster and more efficiently than, say, handwriting a letter and mailing it or jamming things into filing cabinets. The ability to process and work with information in a timely manner is important to nearly all businesses.

How do you get fresh water in an island?

you have to find a river and hope it comes straight from the mountains and is clean.

When was scratch made?

Hello there ,

Scratch is a free educational programming language that was developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It has the tools for creating interactive stories, games, art, simulations, and more. Scratch even has its own paint editor and sound editor built-in.

Users program in Scratch by dragging blocks from the block palette and attaching them to other blocks like a jigsaw puzzle. Structures of multiple blocks are called scripts. This method of programming (building code with blocks) is referred to as "drag-and-drop programming".

How did the capitalism investors in the the late 1800s help fuel the development of new technologies?

J.P. Morgan invested heavily in electricity through Edison R&D as did Westinghouse with Tesala.

What is the most common laser beam color?

There's not really any such thing.

One common and therefore cheap type of laser diode emits a red light, as does the fairly common (or at least it used to be common; the diodes are so much cheaper I imagine they mostly use them now) laboratory helium-neon laser. So if I had to pick a single color that was "common" I'd say red.

There are green and even blue laser diodes now, but they're more expensive than the red ones and therefore aren't as ubiquitous.
