 Computers and laptops are very expensive. So in buying one, the customer must choose the best one for him/her. Computers are very helpful with school or work. That is why even if it is very expensive, people still buy them. It is one of those gadgets that have become part of our lives, just like those mobile phones. A lot of people own computers because it is very useful. You can do a lot of things with it, for both work and leisure . Since we use it for a lot of things, the customers must make sure that the computer that they buy has a good computer performance. Since they spent a lot of money , they should be able to use for a long time and they will be satisfied with it. There are different brands and models that are being sold in the market but what are the factors that people look at when they are buying computers? Of course, most people check for the brand. They would rather buy those popular brands because they know that a lot of people get this kind of brand. A lot of buy

What Are Junk Files on the Computer?

Image
 After the computer is used for a period, you must have the feeling that it can't run as fast as the beginning, which is because in its hard disk, many junk files have been accumulated. All the work you do with a computer, such as install and remove software or surf the internet, will leave junk files on the computer. And much hard disk space has been occupied by them so that the computer runs slower and slower. Then what are junk files on the computer? 1. The Temporary File Which Is Produced When You Install a Software Application. When a software application is installed, it will unzip its installation file to a temporary directory first, usually the temp directory under the folder of Windows. If the software is designed with some bugs or the operating system is not so perfect, temporary files will become junk files on the computer permanently. They often exist in the form of *.tem. 2. The Temporary File Which Is Produced by the Running Software. The same with the installing p

Hardware - The Concept of Hardware and Electronics

Image
 Hardware refers to computer chips, circuit boards, computer systems, and related equipment such as keyed equipment such as keyboards, modems, and printers. The work of computer hardware engineers is very similar to that of electronics engineers, but unlike them, computer hardware engineers work with computers and computer-related equipment exclusively. Hardware jobs include production and service engineers, R&D and maintenance engineers. Most trained engineers are employed by the computer equipment manufacturers. For this job, a very specialized training is required and that can only be acquired in postgraduate course of computer engineering and technology. A diploma in a specialized branch of engineering with special emphasis on training for specific jobs and work experience may be adequate as qualifications only for some jobs. Technology related to computers is changing very rapidly; hence there are exciting challenges for the computer professionals in hardware. They can lear

About Computer Generations

Image
 Computer is an electronic device used to accept the data in the form of digitalized (binary 0 and 1) to perform some task based on the sequence of instructions program. Five generations of computers, First generations of computers (1940-56) operated in vacuum tubes. Computers use the vacuum tubes for circuitry and magnetic drums for memory. The drum rotates at a speed of 3000 rpm. This computer is very expensive to operate and it wants more electric power and it produces a lot of heat. First generations of computer understood machine level language, lowest level programming language to perform the operation. Input of the system is punched cards and paper tape and the output was displayed only on printers. Disadvantage, It requires more space Very expensive to operate It needs more power Second generation computer (1956-63) transistors replace the vacuum tubes. Transistors are devices that consist of semiconductor material that amplify the signal. Transistors eliminate the disadvantage

Networking Trends

Image
 The earliest micro Local Area Networks were easy to install. Telephone wires were strung between the micros or coaxial cable was installed behind a wall. Each micro needed a Local Area Network adapter card on its main bus, which translated requests into network packets and vice versa. These early networks were used primarily to share devices such as laser printers and plotters. The network software was installed on a micro that was hooked to the shared devices. This machine becomes known as the server. The next logical step was to allow users to share data. Early implementations transferred data as complete files. When a user requested information from a file, the whole file was sent over the network to their machine. The file was locked and was not available to any other user. Software advances modified the procedure so that files were accessed for query only, thereby not locking other users out. However, complete files were still sent over the network, Software advances have now tak

Slow Down, Driver

 We've all had this happen. You get a shiny new accessory for your computer; a printer, a scanner, a webcam, or whatever else. You hurry home, tear open the packaging leaving a trail of cardboard between the door and your computer. You fire everything up, plug the new toy into your PC and... nothing. No sign of life other than the power light. Your new <insert device name here> isn't working. You're having a driver issue. Most people only vaguely understand what a driver is, or what it does. Basically, a driver (or device driver) is a file or set of files that provide an instruction manual to the computer. Drivers tell your computer what's connected to it, and how to talk to that particular device. Nowadays, Windows has a lot of drivers built into it, so it can recognize more and more devices with each new version. But there will always be devices that are too new or too sophisticated for built-in drivers. Manufacturers provide discs with the drivers on them, but

How to Safely Setup Your Small Office Network Infrastructure

Image
 How to Do Good LAN Infrastructure Cabling Among important things to consider when doing your LAN cabling are the purposes of the cabling, the location at which you are doing the cabling and the users or devices that need to connect to this network. Of importance is to note that there are mainly two types of network switches that one can always use on the LAN infrastructure. They are the standard none (POE) Power over Ethernet switches and the POE switches. POE switches are those that not only transmit data packets but also power the device at the receiving end. The location where the LAN infrastructure is being laid is important because it will determine the type of CAT6 cable that you have to use. There are mainly two types of CAT6 cables you can choose from. They are (STP) shielded twisted pair and the (UTP) un-shielded twisted pair. STP is technically recommended for outdoor situations since they come with an extra shielding in the sheath. This extra sheath ensures your cables do

What is Optical Modulation?

Image
 Simply put, optical modulation is the process of impressing information on a light carrier; it involves varying one or more of the features that define the optical wave, such as its power level, frequency, or phase. Our current fiber optic communication systems almost exclusively use semiconductor laser as the light source, and by far the easiest way to modulate the light is to modulate its power level. The amount of light power the emerges from the device depends on the electric current that is injected into it. The greater the current, the more light power . But, the relationship between the input electric current and the output light power is not directly proportional: doubling the current does not produce double light power. Optical fiber supports the following modulation schemes, known as optical modulation. 1. Continuous: in optics, we usually call this intensity modulation, similar to analog modulation, with the only difference being in the nature of the optical carrier si

Technology - Who Needs It?

Image
 Technology, that's what got us all into this mess isn't it? The internal combustion engine , jet propulsion, mechanized farming, power stations, pesticides, industrial pollution; the list goes on, and on. And now we're due to pay the price with both global warming and oil depletion looming as a result of squandering the earth's resources to feed our addiction to technology. Surely, since technology is so clearly to blame, we should strive to roll back the tide and oppose further so-called technological progress? Do I hear any takers for this proposition? A return to a golden age, lit by candles at night and warmed by the crackle of logs in countless hearths ; a renaissance of home grown crops, chickens in the yard and beating your clothes on a rock down by the river just like you see in the movies? Oh I'm sure there are some diehard romantics who buy into the self sufficiency fantasy, but the really inconvenient truth is that if we all set about burning logs to bo

Hardware Audit - PC Audit Made Simple

Image
 As an IT Manager, you should always be prepared for an IT audit request. By being prepared for any kind of hardware auditing request, you are in a stronger negotiation position with manufacturers - when the threat of an IT audit is no longer menacing. Moreover, IT departments are frequently required to reconcile their physical inventory with an electronic inventory to meet various regulatory and financial requirements. This can be cumbersome, unless you have implemented an IT Asset Management tool that allows you to manage and audit your entire computer inventory easily. Beyond the complexities of hardware audits, software asset management introduces even greater challenges -- for example, auditing a hardware device for the software it contains, and the complexity of software recognition - mapping the many files found to licensed applications and units in the accounting system. To perform an IT audit you need to create a detailed computer inventory of all computer assets in your netwo
