OPERATING A DEVICE

Technology has led to the invention of different devices. These devices are
meant to ease the complexity of our work. We have been blessed with
several types of devices that are useful to us in different ways. The use of
the devices becomes easier for us when we are familiar with their working
procedures.
What is a Device?

The device can be referred to as assimilated (analog or digital) equipment

intended for everyday use, typically in private homes. They can be used
for entertainment, communications and recreation..

When are talking about the devices than the most necessary thing is to
discuss about its operating procedure. Nowadays we are familiar with
certain devices that we use in our daily life. We need to know regarding the
operating procedure of the device when it is bought new as every device is
operated in a unique way. We are not friendly and known with the device
until and unless we come to know how the particular device is working.

Different Ways of Operating Devices

The operating procedure enables us with the working of devices. It is

different for all devices. Some of the operating methods are enlisted below:

 Manually - There are many devices that do not need any power and
can easily be operated by our hands, for example, levers,
automobiles, cutting machines etc.
 Remotes - Some of the appliances or devices are controlled and run
by remote. In electronics, a remote control (also known as
a remote or clicker[1]) is an electronic device used to operate another
device from a distance, usually wirelessly. In consumer electronics, a
remote control can be used to operate devices such as a television
set, DVD player or other home appliance. A remote control can allow
operation of devices that are out of convenient reach for direct
operation of controls. They function best when used from a short
distance. This is primarily a convenience feature for the user. In some
cases, remote controls allow a person to operate a device that they
otherwise would not be able to reach, as when a garage door
opener is triggered from outside.
  Voice Recognition is an interdisciplinary subfield of computer
science and computational linguistics that
develops methodologies and technologies that enable the recognition
and translation of spoken language into text by computers with the
main benefit of searchability. It is also known as automatic speech
recognition (ASR), computer speech recognition or speech to
text (STT). It incorporates knowledge and research in the computer
science, linguistics and computer engineering fields. The reverse
process is speech synthesis. There are various applications of voice
recognition today in cars to initiate phone calls, select radio stations
or play music from a compatible smartphone, MP3 player or music-
loaded flash drive. For language learning, speech recognition can be
useful for learning a second language. It can teach proper
pronunciation, in addition to helping a person develop fluency with
their speaking skills.
 Touch Screen: A  touch screen is the assembly of both an input
('touch panel') and output ('display') device. The touch panel is
normally layered on the top of an electronic visual display of
an information processing system. A user can give input or control
the information processing system through simple or multi-
touch gestures by touching the screen with a special stylus or one or
more fingers.
 Smart Applications - Computers, mobiles, laptops, etc. have
become very common in our lives today and can be easily operated
by the smart application provided by the android and ios system
software.

About Some Common Devices

There are different kinds of devices that we bring into our use in our daily
lives. We can take the help of devices in making our work easier in
cooking, washing, studying, office works, etc. Therefore the devices are
also categorized on this basis. Some devices are very easy to be operated
while some are provided with a complex working procedure. Here are the
examples of the working process of some devices that we are using in our
daily lives.
  Entertainment Devices

The devices like television, radio, video games, etc. are classified as
entertainment devices. They can only work with power and are controlled
by remote systems. The remote contains different buttons and we can
easily switch on, change channels, perform different functions and switch
off the device by a remote provided with the device.

 Computing Devices

The devices like computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, etc. comes

under the category of computing devices. are the advanced forms of
computers. The operating procedure of the computers is controlled by the
operating systems in the computer.These devices help us in enhancing the
task efficiency, communication, studying procedures, etc. They have
become the necessity in our lives.

 Household Appliances

The appliances like washing machine, mixer grinder, hair drier, iron,
refrigerators, toaster, etc. are the devices that make our work easier. These
devices need not to be operated manually but work on power. We need to
know how we can bring them into our use. They work by utilizing the power
as we press the button for different tasks provided in the appliance.

Are Devices a Blessing to Human Beings?

Earlier when the technology was not developed people use to do all the
work manually. This would take lot of time and effort.. This was really a
blessing for mankind as these devices could make the work easier and less
time taking. Today we are well provided with different types of devices
involving newer techniques and that is replaced eventually by the upcoming
technologies.

Conclusion

The knowledge of the method of operating the devices is a way of making

people user-friendly. This helps in avoiding any kind of accident or side
effect. We can be familiar to a device only when we know how it works. By
knowing the operating procedure of the devices we can bring them into our
best usage.
