Music from streaming music services cannot be transferred to MP3 players directly. For example, Apple Music only supports the iPod touch and a few other MP3 players.

Can a mechanical engineer become software engineer?

Takes time. Che doesn't study software enginnering principles. However, he can easily learn technologies with his problem solving skills. I doubt a chemical engineer can create software technologies with his knowledge.

Who invented the Internet how was it first used?

it was invented by the military as a means of communication. dunno the guy's name. how he came up with it was most likely that he needed to connect computers over a long distance. Yes, the government along with universities developed the internet as a way for scientists to share ideas. Originally it was just email and FTP sites as well as the Usanet where scientists could question and answer each other. Eventually, I think it was someone at the university of Illinois supercomputing center that came up with HTML documents or what we know of now as the web. The idea there was that you could have a document that could be seen from other computers by using a browser and you could display information in HTML format. That part of the internet is what became comercialized and is what most people think of as the internet. Tim Berners-Lee invented the internet. Here is his website: w3.org

What are some companies in the US that provide a satellite internet connection?

None, unfortunately. You can however get cellular internet through AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-mobile or whoever through a broadband hotspot. I use one at my house and get up to 1.5 Mbps download speeds. Not too shabby for living out in the woods of Arkansas. You just have to check those providers websites for your coverage area. Basically if your cell phone works at your house, you can have broadband internet there.

How can internet technologies be involved in improving anyone of the business functions?

Internet technologies can help improve the functional areas of a business by saving the business money, since they are more efficient than hiring new workers. Internet technologies essentially replace personnel for a fraction of the cost.

Is wireless internet the fastest?

While WiFi may seem like really fast internet, it's actually a fact that pluging your Ethernet cable into your PC is faster than WiFi, if you don't believe me. Put your Internet modem about 10 feet away from your PC, see how fast your PC is, then move back by your PC and plug in a Ethernet cable and see how it is.

Is it wise to make friends online?

Yes, it's safe to talk with people online, just as it's safe to talk with people you meet while you're out shopping, and so on, provided you understand that you have only these people's word for who and what they are. Anyone can be anything they like, online. And, unlike a stranger you meet when you're buying a coffee, the person you meet online is free to be less than truthful about such things as their age, sex, location, and so on. Photos can be posted, but you've no way of knowing if the photo matches the person at the keyboard.

As in other contact situations, people frequently tweak facts around for more or less harmless motives, but there are the few who don't. Mostly people who are a problem online are after money, one way or another, but there are a small number who might have more sinister motives.

A lot of fuss is made about young people being vulnerable in online contact with total strangers who might be less than honest, but in fact all age groups are at risk.

So take care not to give any information that can identify you in any way. It goes without saying you'd never give personal ID numbers, street address, phone numbers, and things like that, but there's a lot of information you can inadvertently give about yourself, or about friends or family, which can lead to identification. Think before you type.

The very few suspect people using the net for the wrong reasons are good at researching their targets, and every small piece of information makes you easier to find and identify.

Enjoy contact and communication online, but take the same care you'd take if talking to a total stranger you'd met in public somewhere, or who came to your door selling something.

Can you read other peoples texts?

Unfortunately, yes. Chances are if you are worried about someone you know reading them just judge their computer skills. If they know how to turn the computer on and this is the extent of their expertise you probably have nothing to worry about. If you are worried about just any shmo reading your stuff use a digitaly secured email service. (even still these can be read but the hacker must want to read about what color your underware is pretty badly if he (or she) is taking the time to crack that... of course the gov't already knows you like pink so the secret is out... sury mate. Cheers :)

What is difference between ARPAnet and internet?

That depends on what you mean by traditional computer networking. If you mean the Internet, then there is no difference. ARPANET was the first operational packet-switching network and remains the core principal behind the Internet. Without ARPANET, the Internet as we know it simply wouldn't exist.

Prior to packet-switching, communications between computers used circuit switching. This can be likened to you making an end-to-end telephone call. Unless both ends have multiple lines available, this means no one can call you, no one else can call the receiver and neither of you can call anyone else until you (the initiator) break the connection. While this may well work for small scale networks, imagine if that were how the Internet worked. Now imagine how many dedicated lines a DNS would require in order to deal with a billion DNS queries every second.

Packet-switching is more like posting a letter (a datagram, in fact). The routers between the two end points act as the postal service, passing the datagram from one to another, stamping their marks upon the datagram as they go. Just as the postal service can lose the odd letter here and there, packets can also expire and die if they take too long to reach their destination; each router decrements the TTL (time-to-live) value until it reaches zero, at which point the datagram dies. And just as you can send multiple letters to multiple addresses at the same time, so you can send multiple datagrams to multiple servers at the same time (albeit sequentially at a rapid rate).

In essence, packet-switching allows both ends to remain permanently connected over a single line, but there is no dedicated end-to-end connection. There's just an endless flood of datagrams moving from one end to the other via any number of routers, and not necessarily the same routers. The routers work together, intelligently, to ensure every computer on the Internet can reach every other computer on the Internet, one way or another (firewalls permitting of course).

How do you know if a website is trustworthy and reliable?

If you see that many people went on it, it is pretty reliable. Take a look at the date, it could be information back in 1990s!

If what they say, it doesnt make sense, it's probably not true.

If the URL ends with '.net' or '.org', it's probably ok. Just use your own judgement, and try not to use websites with a ~ symbol in the URL.

Also, at the bottom of the website, you can look for the copyright! If it says, copyright, 2009, or 2010 it is pretty up to date.

Do you need a phone line for dsl?

The first step in deploying wireless broadband is to get broadband service to your location. Broadband service is delivered by an ISP--Internet service provider--and can come to your home or place of business in different ways. The phone line is just one of many options today: * via a telephone line (DSL) * via the TV cable * via satellite * via a T-1 or T-3 dedicated circuit * via cellular wireless. Every one of these services will (or can*) terminate in a device that will provide one or more network ports, usually RJ-45 type. The high-speed network is available at that port, into which you can plug a computer, a router, a switch, other networked equipment, or a wireless router. The wireless router will have several network ports into which you can direct-connect networked devices (PCs, printers, VOIP devices, etc.). Plus the wireless router is your wireless access point, capable of communicating Ethernet traffic wirelessly to over a hundred different devices. Each device of course needs a wireless adapter to uphold its end of the communication and must be within range of the wireless router. So we see that it's quite possible to subscribe to a broadband service and supply wireless broadband access at your location without a telephone access point. _______________ * The cellular wireless access-point device usually plugs directly into a computer.
