Why do parents buy teens cell phones?

If used responsibly it is a wonderful source of information. Imagine when you were a child and a thousand questions came into your head a day. How does this work? Where does electricity come from? etc. By the time you got home you had forgotten all about it. But imagine you could find out the answers on the spot or when you were sitting on the bus or waiting for a lift. It is a wonderful educational opportunity. It just needs to be carefully monitored and ground rules need to be set as with any other form of ICT.

Basically because the parents just give in to their children when they keep on nagging them about getting them a smart phone.

What is Microwave Technology?

Terrestrial microwave technologies share with satellite microwave technologies many of the scientific and technical improvements used to accomplish microwave transmissions. They are different in that satellite microwave technolgies seek to neutralize the effects of the atmosphere in the microwave transmissions. On the other hand, terrestrial micowave technologies seek the aid of atmospheric effects on microwaves to extend the range limitations imposed by the Earth's curvature. Examples of these terrestrial technologies include those used to exploit troposcattering and meteor-burst in microwave communications--not used at all in satellites. Professor Martinez

Where was the first cell phone created?

In 1947 Bell labs made the first cell phone, but in 1973 Dr. Martin Cooper took it further and made the cell phone like the ones we have today. He worked for Motorola. It was in 1983 that the first cell phones were offered for sale to the public.

How do you use an electronic whiteboard?

An interactive "smart" white-board with "electronic ink" and touch-sensitive screen can be hooked up to a computer and a projector. The board magnifies images clearly and colorfully. The board has annotation capabilities

How do you clean a garbage disposal?

The easiest method to use is to pour 1/2 c. baking soda down the drain and follow it with 1c. of white vinegar. Let it set for several minutes while you boil some water. Pour the boiling water down the drain and flush the drain throuroughly. This is the method I use most often and it works well to clean it, get rid of smells and get it running more smoothly again. If you have a double sink you should clean both drains. Another method is to put a tablespoon of bleach in a gallon of water, pour it down the drain, let it sit for several minutes and flush the drain with cold water. I don't think this works nearly as well. You can also use ice cubes and citrus rinds to help clean the blades and the citrus rinds will give you a nice, fresh scent.

How well does copper conduct heat?

The thermal conductivity of copper is 401 W·m−1·K−1 (watts per meter Kelvin). Which makes it one of the most conductive elements.

Power source for portable CD player?

either double aa baterries or the plug in charger (if recieved). Hi I have posted a link to a website that sells portable power packs for electronic devices, I have a PowerGorilla that I use to power my laptop for a further 5 hours so I can work in the garden :) The PowerGorilla will also power a DVD player because I use it on the plane when I fly to the UK, the DVD player we have doesn't last long enough, hope this helps

800 rms how much pmpo?

800watts RMS is 5,000,000,000watts PMPO. However, if you upgrade to the high viscosity audio cable, you can get as much as 8,000,000,000watts PMPO.

Now, for the series answer.

PMPO has no grounds in science, and you will never find it in any legitimate engineering text. It is a made up value to exaggerate the capability of the audio system for marketing purpose only. So, you are free to make up whatever conversion you want to calculate the PMPO.

Any legitimate audio manufacture will not advertise using PMPO, even the use of Peak Power is iffy. Stay away from any audio equipment advertising PMPO.

For the power value to have any meaning, the manufacture needs to indicate both the power (in watts) and the distortion (in %).

How much money is a model B kodascope projector worth?

Depending on the condition of the mechanics of the machine, as well as the cosmetic appearance of the machine, a range of $50.00 to $300.00 would be the going price. I have seen this item at a thrift shop for $27.00 intact. Although this is a rare find, over the years I have seen them at yard sales and pawn shops as well. Replacement bulbs and tubes are sometimes problematic. If you happen to locate a machine that is up and running when you buy it, you run the risk of blowing a bulb or tube each time the machine is switched on. The hardest thing a tube has to do is turn on. The initial power surge is usually what kills the tube. When I was in the military, we had lots of tube powered electronic devices, which we never switched off. This extended the life of the tubes for years as opposed to weeks when switching off/on. Of course you can't leave your projector on for this amount of time, I include this information about tube technology as most folks today do not have experience with tube devices. A few Fender Guitar Amps still use tubes, as the sound is preferable to transistor amps. Tubes were last manufactured in China, after the USA companies discontinued production. A quick internet search for bulbs and tubes might be in order before investing in a projector that you intend to operate on a long term basis. These machines are great fun and as a kid inspired me to going in to the motion picture business.

To me the Kodacope Projector is priceless!

Disadvantage of speaker?

Answer:

1. Stage fear

4. Brooding over the same topic for a long time

5. Tone less speech

6. No sense of humour

7. Not looking into the eyes of the audience

There are many of such kind. I like seven as I am a fan of Harry Potter and so I gave only seven observable Disadvantages....

Three ways which resistance of a wire can be increased?

You can increase the resistance in the wire, by doing any of the following:

  • Increase the length of the wire.
  • Reduce the wire's cross-section.
  • Change to a material that has a greater resistivity (specific resistance).

When was iron invented?

Well you mean "when was iron found "not "when was iron invented" People dugged it up 5000 thousand years ago from now.Iron - or the discovery of how to make iron was - unlike other metals - was done by the Hittites who came from c. Turkey / northern Mesopotamia. As far as scientists / archaeologists can determine the discovery of iron happened only once in human history unlike copper or bronze. This may seem unlikely but given the fact that metal working as a whole was unknown (generally accepted to be the case) at all in the American continents, then only one origin for iron working itself is not unreasonable. Given that humans lived in the Americas for 15,000 years but did not work metal suggests that the discovery / ability to work metal (of what every sort) was something that happened rarely in human history and was not something that was 'bound' to happen. The surprise perhaps is that metal working was ever discovered ....

Are robots machines?

A computer is not a robot. Many robots will have different types of computers in them to help them operate properly, i.e. in car manufacturing.

What is the estimated life of a lithium ion battery?

The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles, whichever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully recharged again. Use a two to three year life expectancy for batteries that do not run through complete charge cycles.

Rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries have a limited life and will gradually lose their capacity to hold a charge. This loss of capacity (aging) is irreversible. As the battery loses capacity, the length of time it will power the product (run time) decreases.

What does a television set run on?

Electric current, but the voltage required depends on the electrical standards of the country you are in.

Why was doors invented?

So when you're on the toilet people can't see you.

Is the lightsaber real?


No they are not real they are just animated with effects.

How does a negative ion differ from a positive ion?

Negative ions have an excess of electrons while positive ions have a deficiency of electrons.

Who invented the hair dryer?

it was invented by Alexandre Godefy in 1890 in France.

How do you work out amps in an electrical circuit?

Current symbol I =voltage/resesistance I=V/R for direct current (dc) and for a resistive load in alternating current (ac)

Function of a variable resistor?

Variable resistor is an resistor that can change its resistance manually, by rotating a handle or a screw.
