There have been roughly ten distinct revisions of the protocol. Since Revision 3.4 in June 1989 there has been an effort to stabilize the design. This has been accomplished. The most recent versions - Revision 3.4 and 3.5 - were about 14 months apart whereas

The Integrated Circuit: The Evolution of an Electronic Miracle The microprocessor evolved over the course of many years of research‚ and people all over the world enjoy the benefits of this electronic miracle. It is difficult to think of anything that has affected modern life more than this invention. Cellular phones‚ wristwatches‚ calculators‚ automobiles‚ stereos‚ televisions‚ and computers are just a few of the thousands of electronic devices that have a microchip at the heart of its operation

essential inventions to help computers. In 830 AD the first mathematics textbook was invented by a man named Mohammed Ibn Musa Abu Djefar. The subject of this textbook he wrote was "Al Gebr We ’l Mukabala" which in today ’s society is known as "Algebra" (History of Computers). So what does all of this have to do with computers? Well without numbers computers wouldn ’t exist or have any reason to exist. The whole point of a computer is to perform mathematical computations. Computers weren ’t the first to

Evolution of man Man obviously shares a common ancestry with the modern apes‚ such as the gorilla and chimpanzee. We know this from the many characteristics that are shared between apes and man. Apart from obvious anatomical and behavioral similarities‚ the two groups also have many blood proteins and other biochemical characteristics in common. A comparison of the skulls of a gorilla and a modern man illustrate the main trends that have taken place in human evolution from an ape-like ancestry

Patterns of Evolution Humans alter our environment to suit our needs rather than adapt to our environment based on environmental stressors. Due to this fact‚ we are unlikely to be affected by the pressures of natural selection. We will not likely be affected by further evolution. In convergent evolution‚ unrelated species living in the similar environments become more and more alike in appearance as they adapt to the same kind of environment. Dolphins and sharks are examples of convergent

last few years it has changed the American calculators to video games and computers (Givone 1). Many microprocessors have been manufactured for all sorts of products; some have succeeded and some have not. This paper will discuss the evolution and history of the most prominent 16 and 32 bit microprocessors in the microcomputer and how they are similar to and different from each other. Because microprocessors are a subject that most people cannot relate to and do not know much about‚ this
