Why are teachers afraid of computer?

Most teachers have little or no knowledge about how a computer works. They pray, that when they turn it on, what they want it to do, it will do. For the most part, their students are more comfortable with the computer than they, because the students bear no responsibility if the computer fails to operate. The teacher has everything to lose...

Of course, there are ways to mitigate or manage this issue, but it requires foresight and planning (think backup plan).

As a former teacher and audio visual professional, I have seen spectacular failures from those who adequately "fail to plan."

What is a modular device?

A modular device is a system composed of interchangeable components or modules that can be easily added, removed, or replaced to customize functionality or upgrade performance. This design allows for greater flexibility, repairability, and scalability, as users can adapt the device to their specific needs without replacing the entire unit. Examples include modular smartphones, laptops, and even home appliances that can be reconfigured for different tasks. The modular approach promotes sustainability by reducing electronic waste and extending the lifespan of the device.

Are there any limits to how intelligent machines can be?

Yes, there are limits to how intelligent machines can be, primarily governed by factors such as computational power, data availability, and the inherent design of algorithms. Machines rely on human-defined parameters and learning from existing data, which can restrict their ability to generalize or innovate beyond those boundaries. Additionally, ethical considerations and safety regulations may impose constraints on the development and deployment of highly intelligent systems. Ultimately, while machines can simulate aspects of human intelligence, they lack the consciousness and emotional understanding that characterize human cognition.

What are ASCll characters on my computer?

ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A computer only understands numbers, so letters of the alphabet are assigned numbers.

About tablet PC s?

Tablet PC is a best Presentation Device.

I won a Tablet PC and very much benefitted by it.

Tit Bits:

* Sketching and handwriting are a much more familiar form of input than a keyboard and mouse, especially for people who are new to computers

* Gestures (moving the stylus in special patterns over the screen) are powerful ways to increase efficiency. Many applications, or the operating system itself, can be programmed to respond in different ways to certain gestures created by the pen.

* Taking handwritten notes and drawing diagrams at a class or conference increases productivity and retention of information. The notes can also be searched automatically if handwriting recognition is implemented.

* Those who are physically unable to type can utilize the additional features of a tablet PC to be able to interact with the electronic world. +

* Tablets are often necessary for professional digital artist work. For many, mouse movement is too jerky to be used as a precision tool.

* Slate tablets and hybrids without keyboards are very slim and light compared to typical laptops and can easily be tucked under the arm like a book.

* Most tablet PCs do not interrupt line of sight since they lie flat on the table or in one's arms. This allows for better interaction in business meetings and conferences and also makes it easy for digital artists who wish to draw on a horizontal medium.

Disadvantage:

* Higher cost

* Smaller Screen size (for Better Battery Backup)

* Input speed ( slower than other input medias)

* Screen damage risk ( Some people may rough use the Touch Screen)

* Low Battery Backup than Laptops

* Hinge failure

OS:

* Microsoft Windows Vista

* Microsoft Windows XP -Tablet Edition

* Linux

Impact of computer and the internet on society disadvantages?

Overall I would say minimal impact in any negative way; but ... Yes, there are always interpersonal issues that can arise when you throw people from diverse cultures into a huge melting pot called the Internet. People have Personal Beliefs or Ideas -- typically some of those beliefs or ideas can seem quite alien on the surface...

(I am specifically not addressing any negative impacts that computers as a whole may have played in society simply because that is a case where the 'thing' is just a tool; so tools cannot be held as 'causing harm' in-of-themselves. Its like a knife; the knife cannot cut or stab anyone on it's own; neither can a machine do things without human intervention.)

What would happen if traffic lights weren't controlled by computers?

Many are not, and the result is no chaos on the boulevards. they are controlled by relays and intervalometers. Push-button crossings are a good example One pushes a button at a normally clear ( for highway traffic) pedestrian crossing, this starts a timer using ( in the earlier types) a synchonous motor- let us say it is timed for 2 l/2 minutes. at the end of the cycle- the traffic signals change- green for pedestrians, red for traffic so to speak, there is a comparatively brief crossing window- then they go back to traffic priority until somebody else presses the button. the buttons start a timer. for this reason it is useless to repeatedly hit the button like a telegraph key , once started it has to go through a full cycle. hitting the button will only wear the contacts ( electrical not optical) and so it goes this type of traffic signal has been around for , well in the case of route 440 at least 40 years, as Two Guys was opened in l964, and there was a need for a Pedestrian Crossing.
