increase in surface area that results when individual particle-size decreases. The first military stride teat came about inferential of this technology was the development of military uniform‚ using nanoscale materials to integrate electronics‚ computer devices and power supply. In addition to ballistic protection. For instance‚ today if you want to stop a .45 caliber bullet you need about 10 to 20 pounds per square foot. Where we are headed with nanoscience and technology is the ability to stop a bullet

Supercomputer Supercomputer is a broad term for one of the fastest computers currently available. Supercomputers are very expensive and are employed for specialized applications that require immense amounts of mathematical calculations (number crunching). For example‚ weather forecasting requires a supercomputer. Other uses of supercomputers scientific simulations‚ (animated) graphics‚ fluid dynamic calculations‚ nuclear energy research‚ electronic design‚ and analysis of geological data (e.g.

The Computer Age Believe it or not‚ but the age of computers is upon us. I believe Computers are not only here to stay‚ but in my opinion computers are the wave of the future. Only a device like the computer can change the way we work‚ live‚ and think. I see computers taking us places where no man has gone before. Twenty years ago people were just not up to date with computers back then. I mean if you ask someone about a computer‚ they probably would say something like‚ what in the world are

HISTORY OF COMPUTER THE PRE-MECHANICAL AGE: 3000 B.C. – 1450 A.D. 1. Writing and Alphabets – Communication First development of signs corresponding to spoken sounds‚ instead of pictures‚ to express words. Around 2000 B.C.‚ Phoenicians created symbols that expressed single syllables and consonants (the first true alphabet) The Greeks later adopted the Phoenician alphabet and added vowels; the Romans gave the letters Latin names to create the alphabet we use today. 2.
