MOBIEL

The mobile phone (also called a wireless phone or cellular phone) is a short-range, portable electronic device used for mobile voice or data communication over a network of specialized base stations known as cell sites. In addition to the standard voice function of a telephone, current mobile phones may support many additional services, and accessories, such as SMS for text messaging, email, packet switching for access to the Internet, gaming, Bluetooth, infrared, camera with video recorder and MMS for sending and receiving photos and video. Most current mobile phones connect to a cellular network of base stations (cell sites), which is in turn interconnected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) (the exception is satellite phones).

COMPUTER

The computer is a programmable machine. The two principal characteristics of a computer are:It responds to a specific set of instructions in a well-defined manner. It can execute a prerecorded list of instructions (a program). Modern computers are electronic and digital. The actual machinery -- wires, transistors, and circuits -- is called hardware; the instructions and data are called software. All general-purpose computers require the following hardware components:· Memory: Enables a computer to store, at least temporarily, data and programs.· Mass storage device: Allows a computer to permanently retain large amounts of data. Common mass storage devices include disk drives and tape drives.· input device: Usually a keyboard and mouse, the input device is the conduit through which data and instructions enter a computer.· output device: A display screen, printer, or other device that lets you see what the computer has accomplished.· Central processing unit (CPU): The heart of the computer, this is the component that actually executes instructions.In addition to these components, many others make it possible for the basic components to work together efficiently. For example, every computer requires a bus that transmits data from one part of the computer to another.Computers can be generally classified by size and power as follows, though there is considerable overlap:· Personal computer: A small, single-user computer based on a microprocessor. In addition to the microprocessor, a personal computer has a keyboard for entering data, a monitor for displaying information, and a storage device for saving data.· Workstation: A powerful, single-user computer. A workstation is like a personal computer, but it has a more powerful microprocessor and a higher-quality monitor.· Minicomputer: A multi-user computer capable of supporting from 10 to hundreds of users simultaneously.· Mainframe: A powerful multi-user computer capable of supporting many hundreds or thousands of users simultaneously.· Supercomputer: An extremely fast computer that can perform hundreds of millions of instructions per second.
