Document Summary

Small is powerful (technology tends to become smaller and more powerful Though this makes user interface more of an enigma: how do we interact with/use increasingly smaller devices?) The network is the thing (it"s not just the machine It"s its ability to network. e-cycling= recycling of electronic hardware. Implications: we"re going green, bigger and bigger concern. Brain: processes, analyzes, goes through procedures, stores information in storage. Fast processing of data once it"s in main memory (once in ram) Hold multiple programs, process large amounts of data. Main memory takes info that has come from memory and then processed by the cpu. Store many large programs, store many large files, swap files in and out of memory (storage/harddrive) Operating systems manage operating processes (organizes what happens and allocates computer resources) Horizontal market application vs vertical market application www. notesolution. com. Horizontal=applies to all industries, vertical= services needs of specific industries. Thin=just a browser, thick= browser and programs i. e. ms outlook.
