Computer is machine can help all of peopledo everything.

With the use of computers, people are suddenly able to perform a staggering amount of computations at dazzling speeds. Information can be crunched, organized, and displayed in the blink of an eye. As technology continues to advance, the computer will no doubt become even more pervasive One of the function of computer is diagnose for pregnant. One of them is TUVS. With the advent of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS), the diagnosis of pregnancy can be made even earlier than is possible with transabdominal ultrasonography (TAUS). US has long been used in uncomplicated pregnancies for dating and as a screening examination for fetal anomalies. US is not typically used to diagnose pregnancy unless the patient presents with vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain early in gestation or is a high-risk obstetric patient. TVUS is the most accurate means of confirming intrauterine pregnancy and gestational age during the early first trimester. Calculation of mathematic is easier by using computer. One of the application name is Ecalc OSC. Ecalc OSC is an online web tool which can perform normal calculations and advanced mathematical calculations as well as it can perform conversions in many units. There are two versions available you can use it online or you can download it on your computer and use it offline any time.

Computers in business and professions 1970 to 1980

Computers had entered business, industry and trade in the 1960s, but it was at the beginning of the 1970s that this process gathered momentum. One reason for this was the great leap forward in microelectronics, which led to an enormous increase in performance coupled with far smaller, cheaper computer systems. The increase in the use of computers was accompanied by major technical, organizational and social change at the workplace, which caused existing business processes to be largely adapted to electronic data processing, resulting in rapid growth in requirements for new work qualifications in offices and in manufacturing. Companies first began to work with computer systems at the beginning of the 1960s. These systems were installed at computer centres. The operating costs of such a computer centre were so high that the systems had to run day and night to be profitable. It was only large companies that generated such large volumes of data. Accordingly, it was large banks and insurance companies that first set up computer centres. A small number of highly respected computer specialists worked there - programmers who wrote the software and operators who ran the systems. Data that had been recorded was processed there and returned to office staff as computer printouts. With the development of data communications equipment, it was no longer necessary to install peripheral devices in computer centre

locations. Terminals at office workers' desks made it possible to enter into a dialogue with the computer, i.e. to directly access the data. In 1965, IBM launched the System/360 mainframe on the market, and finally established itself as the world's leading computer supplier. From this point on, IBM set the standards.

In 1965, IBM launched the System/360 mainframe on the market, and finally established itself as the world's leading computer supplier. From this point on, IBM set the standards. In the mid-1960s, a special approach to data processing was introduced. It was predominant in Germany, where the whole range of office computers was referred to as Mittlere Datentechnik, in English later dubbed mid-range systems. Various companies - many of them from the office machine industry, such as Kienzle and Philips, or newcomers like Nixdorf - launched special small office computers for commercial administration, tailored to meet end users' needs. This approach was an extraordinary success because it bundled application software and customer training with the hardware. This all-in service led to the rapid spread of office computers through small and medium-sized companies, which could not afford their own data processing department and therefore wanted complete solutions for their business organization. At the beginning of the 1970s, numerous newly founded software houses in the USA and Europe discovered this market opening and satisfied the exploding demand for application programs by developing manufacturerindependent standard software.

Minicomputers came onto the market in the USA at about the same time as office computers in Europe. The first was Digital Equipment Corporation's pdp-8, which was launched in 1965. These systems were the answer to the mainframes that had dominated the market in the USA until then, and were a great commercial success. In particular, scientists who wrote their own programs were keen on minicomputers, which made them independent of computer centres. Minicomputers and microcomputers quickly found their way from universities to the business world. As flexible, fast process-control computers, they were used in factories from the 1970s to plan, control and automate manufacturing processes. The increase in computer-controlled manufacturing technologies was motivated by the necessity to cut costs and to ensure more efficient, flexible and cheaper production. Computer-controlled robots initially became widespread in the automotive manufacturing sector in the early 1980s. About 60% of all computers were in use there, and replaced 20 to 26% of factory workers. From there, computers penetrated the whole world of industry.

Entertainment PCs
PCs are getting better than ever at tuning in TV, burning movies, playing music, and showing off photos. We test nine versatile new Windows Media Center machines

Windows Media Center Edition is lots of fun to use--it's difficult to resist an interface that ties together so many pleasant diversions. Pausing and recording live TV la TiVo is a snap, as is arranging your digital photos in a slide show while a CD plays in the background. With the 2005 version you can watch one channel while recording another (or record two at once)--a big improvement. You also get a simple disc-creation program that enables you to burn songs, pictures, or TV shows onto a DVD right from within Media Center. The operating system's inviting main menu, which lists all your entertainment options--Play DVD, My Videos, My Pictures, My TV, My Music, and Radio--has not changed much from the previous version's. Neither has the pleasingly fluid way that Media Center moves between entertainment areas and responds to the remote. We did experience a few disappointments with the OS, however. Inexplicable tinkering with submenus has made some of the applications

harder to use. For example, you now have to leave Radio and drill down two menus under Settings to delete a preset station, a simple chore that you should be able to perform on the Radio screen. In My TV, you can no longer see the Record and Guide menu choices conveniently alongside a live window. Media Center Edition needs additional fine-tuning, including a forward button for times when you hit the back arrow once too often. In addition, Media Center's refusal to notify you when TV listings have finished downloading from the Internet is annoying, and applications occasionally trip over one another. For instance, CDs stop playing when you attempt to configure a network connection. Should you make the leap to a Media Center PC, firing your DVD player, stereo receiver, and TiVo and putting all your entertainment eggs in one basket? These are PCs, after all. Will you be upset when a hard drive malfunction or system crash results in the loss of a month's worth of recorded Law & Order episodes? Will you be able to concentrate on The Shawshank Redemption while conscious that an unsaved spreadsheet lies waiting on the screen underneath? You can't upgrade your TV as you can a PC, but you don't have to protect it against viruses, either. If you're a trailblazer or if you own an old stereo and TV and have yet to buy a TiVo box, one of these PCs could be an adventure worth embarking on. Just don't forget that you'll want a broadband connection and, ideally, a home network to realize its media-sharing potential.
