General Computer Questions [pic] General Computer Question 1: What is a computer? Answer: A common‚ somewhat simplified‚ definition is that the computer is an electronic device that can be used to process information. Today‚ computers are not only used for calculations‚ but also for creating and manipulating text and pictures. They are used to design bridges and spacecraft‚ to record a company’s sales and to keep track of customers‚ to create a school newspaper‚ or to estimate the cost

If We Had Known About Green Chemistry In 1951‚ How Would Things Be Different Today? Green Chemistry is the making of chemical products that reduces or eliminates the use and production of hazardous substances in the designing‚ making‚ and use of chemical products. It involves the designing and re-designing of chemical creation and chemical products to prevent pollution which will therefore solve environmental problems. Green Chemistry is environmentally safe and has very little side effects on

Engineering dilemma. ‘Engineering ethics’ refer to the ethical issues involved in the engineering profession. Ethics are concerned with moral decisions in professional behaviour. Whilst morality generally refers to any aspect of human action‚ ethics is concerned with making the ‘right’ decisions in a professional context. Engineering ethics and consideration of the impact of engineering on the environment are issues of relevance and importance to any engineer or engineering student. Ethics is concerned

Computer was invented by Charles Babbage in 1822. The computer is the most wonderful gift of science to the modern man. The computer can do all the works of man. Thus‚ after the invention of computer‚ the gap between man and machine has been bridged up.The dictionary meaning of the word "Computer" is an electronic calculating machine. Though a machine‚ it contains and provides innumerable informations. It may seem strange‚ but it is true that the memory and intelligence of a computer can be greater
