Fifty Years of Technology Gone?

Technology has come a long way in the past fifty years. And if I told you something about all the great technology that came about in the past fifty years I could go on forever!
But instead lets focus on some of the great technology we've enjoyed for approximately fifty years, and has also disappeared much too soon due to replacement of even newer technology.
Let's begin back around the late 1960's and into the 1970's with the development of the simple 8 track cassette which was the new technology for listening to music at the time. Now in order to listen to 8 Track Cassettes you just had to have an 8 Track Player to do so, and if you did you were all set to enjoy some music.
Personally I'm old enough today to have been around in that marvelous period of time to have seen the success and down fall of the great 8 Track Cassettes. I actually still have some of my old 8 Tracks from back then, but unfortunately I'm not able to listen to them since I do not have an 8 Track Player to do so. Now there was also a 4 Track Cassette at the time which was actually developed shortly before the 8 Track was but was short lived primarily because it only had two tracks meaning that when you wanted to listen to a different song you simply would push a button on the player to change the track on it. But with the 8 Track you actually had four tracks which gave you more of a selection of songs to choose from which was much more popular with people who bought them.
Now before long smaller Cassettes also for listening to music were on the market, they were more compact then the 8 Track Cassettes were. So now we had both 8 Track Cassettes and the compact smaller Cassettes to enjoy for our music entertainment, but it seemed before you could say "8 Track Cassettes" they we're gone! And now leaving us with only the smaller Cassettes to listen to and to enjoy.
So the only other format to play music at that time was the standard Photograph Record Player which of course had been around for many years prior. But as time went on once again Cassettes now were no longer available as well. So now you would no longer have to worry about tapes breaking or coming out of the cartridges with both 8 Tracks and Cassettes, but now they were both gone. While we still had the Photograph Record to enjoy music until the next big technology came along, but what would it be?
And that next big technology that allowed us to listen to music that sounded better than ever was the Compact Disc (CD), and this format was no longer a tape but a disc. I personally can still remember at the time when the local record stores took all of the photograph records off their selves in the store and replaced them all with Compact Disc's (CD), that was impressive for me because that was a major change from Records that I grew up with and had enjoyed playing for years but were no longer available, it had all changed now to CD's.
Now you had to of course change your players from the standard Record Player to the CD Player in order to enjoy your music, but probably the biggest benefit to changing this technology from records to CD's was they simply sounded much better by eliminating the "pops" that records typically would have. Now today we still have CD's, but with all the other means that people have to enjoy music off the internet the CD's are just not as popular as they had been in the past, and perhaps the day may not be far off before it will also become difficult to find them as well.
Now what about the technology that brought us the Video Cassette Recorder (VCR)? Well first with the Video Cassette Recorder basically there was two different types of tapes that were available to use on your VCR. First was the Beta Cassette, then their was the VHS Cassette. You can still purchase the VHS Cassette even though it may be difficult to do so. But as for the Beta you no longer can find them due to the simple fact that the Beta Cassette was simply much smaller than the VHS Cassette and as a result less storage space to record what you wanted.
The Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) was nice because you could record your favorite tv show and play them back and watch them anytime you choose to do so. At the time I personally recorded and purchased so many Cassette's that it had grown into a large Video Cassette Library that I in fact still have in addition to my VCR. But guess what! Beta and VHS were both tapes as were the 8 Tracks and the small Cassettes, and that is now old technology, and you may recall what happened to them, YES... they were replaced with the new technology just as the Video Cassette Recorder was.
Now what new technology was next? What great technology replaced the Video Cassette Recorder? The answer is the DVD Player! and is still a current technology enjoyed today and again has no tape, because it is simply a disc. Does this sound familiar? Of course, 8 Track Tape technology changing to CD's, and now with Video Tapes on the VCR changing the technology to DVD's.
So when it comes to enjoying music as well as enjoying watching movies all this technology may be only the beginning. And to fairly discuss all technology advances would require something short of writing a book. So since I'm focusing on just the technology in which I have discussed which was a large part of my life as I grew up, and knowing that so many young people were not around years ago to have experienced that technology as I did, but I sincerely hope that everyone will find it as exciting as I do, and will follow the continuous changes of technology as related to music and movie entertainment.
And now we can only wait for the next great technology change that gives us something we've never experienced before, in the mean time continue to follow the forever changes in technology.

Sometimes it may feel as though technology moves too fast, especially if we enjoy and love our technology that we are currently using. But when old technology is replaced with new technology it usually means that the old technology is no longer available, so what do you do then? look http://rahmanthamrin.blogspot.com

Impressive Technology

Photopolymer Plates
The process is a simple theory, photopolymer properties alter under exposure to UV light. A similar technology exists in the coating on aluminium lithographic printing plates, both are exposed to UV light through a film (positive or negative) and in the case of 'positive' litho plates the exposed area is washed away but in the case of photopolymer the unexposed material is washed away while the exposed portion is hardened, therefore film negatives are used. Photopolymer is available in a variety of forms and thicknesses with different features, the principle feature for letterpress is the 'shore hardness' which can range from low 20's to around 85 for certain steel backed plates, the harder plates (60 upwards) being suitable for deeper impression work. There are certain issues to keep in mind - every part of the processing cycle is important and any variable makes a difference. Each plate type according to it's own specification will require different exposure times, washout times and temperatures, oven temperatures for drying and post exposure and drying times. It sounds complicated but it is surprisingly straight forward.
The Process
A film negative is made of the desired image or design to be printed or 'letterpressed'. A portion of photopolymer plate is cut corresponding to the image size then placed in the exposure tray. The film negative is overlayed ensuring the film (emulsion side down) is in good contact with no air bubbles or pockets between the film and plate which will cause UV leakage and a blurred image. The vacuum blanket is rolled over the film and plate, drawer closed and the exposure time begins starting the vacuum and UV lights. After exposure the plate is placed in the washout unit for several minutes (depending on plate type) in water around 20ºc. Soft brushes rotate to wash away waste material and the plate is immediately dehydrated to remove excess water and placed in the drying unit for the appropriate time at a temperature between 60ºc and 80ºc. After initial drying is complete plates are post exposed to UV light without the vacuum (as no film is used at this point) and placed once more in to the dryer, the second drying time is important to ensure the plates are properly 'detacked'. The plate is now finished and can be mounted on double sided adhesive ready to place on a precision ground metal base on the press, the whole process taking around 30 - 40 minutes. For letterpress the preferred plates are 'foil' (meaning plastic) backed rather than steel backed which are difficult to cut and work with, particularly for multi-colour work. Of the foil backed plates available the KF range by Toyobo is one of the most popular and widely used and particularly the KF95 (0.95mm plate) and the KF152 (1.52mm plate). It has to be remembered that the deeper plates like the KF152 need extra exposure time so the UV can penetrate to the floor of the plate and properly cure or harden the polymer. Failure to do this can result in weak plates that don't last the print run with fine details gradually disappearing from the inked impression. The plate must then be packed behind to compensate but this is problematic and not desirable. Even in well made plates there are limits to the degree of fine detail achievable in a photopolymer plate, lines below 0.3 pt may well not hold through the production process.
Developments
Important developments in technology have made the polymer plate system more feasible in recent years at both entry level and for large lithographic businesses both enjoying advancements towards a more 'computer to plate' (CTP) process. In lithography this is a slightly different process using a variation of the photopolymer plate system known as Flexography which focuses more on accurate halftones required by modern presses. For both Flexography and Photopolymer for Letterpress, CTP has been forwarded by the development of new polyester based films. Developments in laser films do not seem to be successful for this kind of high end work but inkjet films achieve consistent industry standard results with DMAX >4 though it is necessary to use a software RIP to achieve this. The success of the polyester films lies in the greater accuracy of modern inkjet printers (the minimum requirement would be an appliance like the Epson 4900 which is still a relatively modest investment) and in the science of the film product. We've tested a variety but endorse the Folex product Reprojet P HD available on 30 meter rolls or cut sheets. The film works not by holding sufficient ink to be a dense black and thus reach the DMAX target but rather by the filament within the structure of the film working with the ink to deflect light and cut it out from the polymer. We have found in testing that exposure times greater than required can result in UV leakage (particularly if the ink is too light) but then plate makers should be working to the guide times specified by plate manufacturers so this is not an issue. The film will hold a remarkable amount of ink which combined with the film's properties give excellent results. Trying to print film without a RIP like Waasatch, Filmgate or EFI just using the Epson onboard drivers will result in floating (ink literally floating on the surface) and wastage. These RIP's are and added expense to small print shops but there is a cheaper option in Accurip which we've tested running at droplet size 13 out of 15 and the results are excellent. We've also used EFI and are about to test Waasatch. Any of these RIP's perform the important task of taking control of the way ink is laid down as well as the amount whereas onboard printer drivers will put the ink down, in simple terms, too much too quickly.
Rising Demand
With the resurging interest in letterpress and particularly the artform side of this printing process, photpolymer plates have been in increasing demand in the UK and in particular plates that allow a deeper impression in to thick paper for the luxury stationery market. Although polymer plates have been available for a while the KF152 for deep impression work has not been distributed in the UK in recent times. There is now a distributor and Lyme Bay Press are providing KF152 plates as the sole distributor and a plate making service as well as technical support for those with printing problems, encouraging new growth in the letterpress community.
Conclusion
It may seem a little odd that Europe seems to be at the front of this technology, one normally thinks of Japan or the USA for innovation but for once legislation may have been a help rather than a hindrance. Europe has increased it's expectations of industry meeting environmental requirements in a way which is forcing improvements in the workplace. Traditional film making uses chemicals which are hazardous in use and difficult to dispose of, perhaps this has increased the demand for earlier film products to improve. Many litho printers (us included) will have used laser plates at one time or another for simple short run one colour jobs, it's quick and easy, printed straight from the desktop. The problems are damping issues which make these plates difficult to run but now it's possible to develop positive metal plates using inkjet film. Each year the report from DRUPA is the progress the printing industry is making in CTP. There are now printers which inkjet metal plates directly, though the investment is significant the time saving element is very desirable. There is much talk about the 'digital presses' which can inkjet 11,000 sheets per hour with ultra sharp dots. The inevitable question is the cost per impression which still means the digital route has not eclipsed the traditional press but it will come. To get back on target, our conclusion has been after vigorous research and testing, recent developments have made it possible to produce Litho standard Flexographic or Letterpress Photopolymer plates of a very high standard through CTP processes at a very affordable rate both in terms of initial investment and production, sufficient to make this a viable commercial interest.

Photo Editing Sites That Can Come In Handy

It's not like I am totally a computer freak or anything, but every time I am on my computer, I try doing or learning things I really enjoy or like. One of such things is photo editing. Now let me mention one thing very clearly, I am definitely not a 'geniously brilliant' person when it comes to computer stuff ( and I don't think I even want to be one:p) but I do all these stuff just for fun and do as long as I feel interest for these. To put in simpler words, my hobby for something remains as hobby until it becomes stress.
One thing to mention is that when I am talking of things like editing or gif or stuff like that, most of the time I do not include Photoshop on the list. Don't get me wrong, it's just I know PS does wonders ( once you know how to make it do so) and it's probably the best so far for editing and things like that for beginners as well as experts. But as a learner, I had hard times doing the same things I wanted because of not having a PS as I mentioned in my previous post. This is the very reason that even after I've started using PS I try finding out newer software and things till this date that can pretty much live up to the expectations of a learner or someone not having access to one.Okay, so I would like to share some of the photo editors here that are some of my favorites till now.
1. PicMonkey
Picmonkey is so far on my favorite photo editor's list. Those who have used Picnik already know the features it offered. Well Picmonkey does offer almost the same. However it doesn't have seasonal features unlike Picnik. That means you cannot have special editing options for Halloween, or St. Patrick's Day etc. Apart from that, for me it is just excellent.
2. Ipiccy
After Picmonkey, this is my second favorite site. This is just a wonderful site for editing and stuff. Very much like Picnik or Picmonkey, this site offers more features in addition. Even the view is very much Picnik-ish so I think you'll love it once you get used to it.
3. Lunapic
This is an awesome site for not only editing but other stuff as well. You yourself can have a look at the home page to see what features it offers. This is my favorite site too, specially because you have a image blending option available. If you follow the instruction appropriately, you can successfully create wonderful blended images. If you don't have PS or don't yet know how to use it to blend photos, then I suggest you to give this site a try.
4. Pixlr
If you have finished editing photos as a beginner and want to do a little bit more then just adding effects or frames or stuff, then this is really a very good place for that. As you will notice, there are three options in the home page and you can choose to edit using any of the options you prefer. The 'Advanced' one looks like a paint window but you can do a lot more than just painting and cropping things there. 'Efficient' one also provides you with a lot of options to select in order to edit, modify or blend pictures. One good thing here is that you can customize most of the effects and settings according to your wish. The last option, 'Playful' one is quite similar to Picmonkey, only with some extra effects and frames to use.
5. Free Online Photo Editor
It's a pretty good site for editing as well. The feature I specially like here is the Glitter Text option. There are other sites for this too but somehow I find this more interesting and easy to use, once you are habituated to it.
There are millions of other sites that lets you do editing and things like that. But just do a little surfing before you sign up or install any unknown software.

This is an article on photo editing. Find more articles on editing and things like this on Muna's Blog http://thoughtsuntoldnafsa.blogspot.com/

How to Enjoy Free TV Channels Through an SW-21 Switch

A lot of people have already discovered free TV viewing through installing satellite systems in their homes. However, as it is in man's nature to want something more than what they already have, it is expected for some of those already enjoying satellite TV to do something to enhance their TV viewing. If you are one of these and you wish to add on another satellite antenna to your system, then you will also need a sw-21 switch.
Get Yourself an SW-21 Switch
This device is very important if you have more than one satellite dish because it is what helps in making your reception clearer. It is what combines the feeds from both your satellite antennas before sending it to your free to air or FTA receiver. With this combiner equipment, you will be able to get the best quality reception from multiple locations of satellites.
Set It Up Into Your Satellite System
The combiner is placed between the LNB ports of your satellite dishes and your FTA receiver with the use of coaxial cables. So, all you need to be able to set up and have the sw-21 switch working are three lengths of coaxial cables plus your satellite dishes and your receiver. The first two coaxial cables will be attached between your satellite antenna's LNB ports and the "to dish" jacks of the switch. The other one will run from the "receiver" jack of your switch right into the "satellite in" jack of you FTA receiver.
Research If Unsure About the Set Up
If you are still not confident about how all these work together, you can also ask the person you bought your switch from. If you also purchased it online, your seller will most probably have a 24-hour customer service number that you can call so all your concerns can be given answer. You could also do some research online to see if what you are doing is right. There are many reliable sources on the Internet when it comes to setting up satellite systems, including adding on a combiner.
Sit Back and Enjoy Some Free TV
Once you have everything in place, you can start enjoying free TV viewing with the best reception you can get from different satellite locations. This means not only getting almost 300 free to air channels, but also getting them with a clearer and high-definition quality with the help of your sw-21 switch. This will perfectly complement your home theatre system and will complete your total TV viewing pleasure.

Although working as a writer, Tara Marie L Mosqueda is a certified couch potato and TV junkie during her free time. To enjoy free TV, she has set up a satellite system in her home using the services and products of http://www.oceansatellite.net. If you are looking for equipment such as a sw-21 switch to complete your satellite system, you could try to visit the site.

Gingerly, iPad Into The Crowd

 By Larry M. Elkin

I was a skeptic when Apple introduced the iPad in the spring of 2010. It was immediately clear that this would be a hot-selling item, but tablet computers were not new and had never been more than a niche product.
So I wondered what, exactly, most people would do with the new gadget. I thought there was a pretty good chance those sleek new machines would end up gathering dust like so many old boom boxes, unable to match the power of fully equipped computers or the convenience of ever-more-capable smart phones.
I am not going to say, "I hate to say I told you so... " First of all, I have enough chutzpah to write an opinion column, and you can rest assured that despite their denials, opinion columnists love to say "I told you so." It's called attribution bias. When we're right, it proves how smart we are. When we're wrong, it proves that the world has gone crazy. (Remember this principle the next time you hear someone predict what the stock market will do in the next six months.)
The second and major reason I am not going to say "I told you so" is that the world has gone crazy over the iPad. Some 55 million devices were sold through the end of 2011, according to Time. It seems entirely possible that Apple will sell that many again in 2012 - bringing the total well over 100 million devices by the end of this year.
They can't all be gathering dust in our closets. We don't have enough closet space.
My wife owns one of those iPads. She got it not long after I wrote my column questioning what to do with it. My wife happens to be the executive in charge of marketing at my firm. The main reason for buying the device, or so we told ourselves, was that it would let her familiarize herself with the hardware platform and the various applications for it, so we would understand how to use tablets in our business.
As it turned out, the iPad was very good for playing various Scrabble-type games. My wife is a word-game barracuda. She's got around five games going simultaneously pretty much all the time, and she has a fleet of machines - two laptops, a smartphone and her iPad - to help her keep up.
Lately I have started borrowing her iPad. I was working at our home in New York recently when a storm knocked out our cable company's internet service. The iPad's 3G internet service on AT&T's network allowed me to log back on to my office computer and resume my work. The connection was slower, and it was not easy to work without my accustomed keyboard, but I was able to stay productive during a three-hour outage that otherwise would have forced me offline.
More often, I use the iPad as a substitute for my latest defunct Kindle e-reader. I have a Kindle subscription to The Wall Street Journal, which is convenient because I travel frequently and would get little use from a daily newspaper delivery. I like to read The Journal while I spend my customary daily hour on the elliptical machine in an endless battle against the bodily effects of travel and age.
I like technology, but I usually refrain from change just for the sake of change. If something works for me, I tend to stay with it. So when the iPad came out, I saw no reason to stop using my Kindle, which worked.
Except that the Kindle stopped working. And so did another, and another. I'm not a heavy or heavy-handed user, but my devices kept breaking. First, the selector button on the large-screen Kindle DX literally broke in half. This is the button that acts like a joystick, allowing the user to move the cursor and select items off the menu. For a long time I tried just squeezing the fractured halves together, as I was in no hurry to inject glue into my out-of-warranty machine, but eventually I gave up and moved to another device.
That one developed a crack near the USB port into which the charger is plugged. I became an expert at jiggling the charger cord and balancing the apparatus ever-so-carefully, but that got tiresome and eventually stopped working, too.
The next Kindle, which another family member had had for some time but never used, just died. It simply refused to wake up one day, like a body that had reached the end of its biological time clock. There are steps one should take in that situation. I took them without results. Finally I administered the last rites and contemplated getting yet another Kindle.
I can still get the "Kindle keyboard," as the older-fashioned machines are now known, or I could get the newer Kindle Fire - which is a tablet modeled very much along the lines of the iPad, but with less software flexibility. It's just a question of whose ecosystem I prefer to join, Apple's or Amazon's. As a heavy Apple user in the rest of my computing life, I am not in a big hurry to make my life more complicated while still ending up with the same class of device.
So I am experimenting with the Kindle app on my wife's iPad. I can get my Journal, and it's easier to read on the tablet's bigger, brighter, higher-contrast color screen. I find it is not a problem to turn pages with my finger, even when I am exercising. I do not have Amazon's free
The transition is not without cost. I particularly liked the Kindle's ability to save a Journal article in a "clippings" file with just a simple command. I used the clippings file to store stories that might be the nucleus of a future commentary column. The iPad app for the Kindle does not support clippings. It allows user-selected highlights to be stored, but I haven't got the hang yet of highlighting and storing things while I pump away on the elliptical.
But the bottom line is that, even as I type this column on my laptop's QWERTY keyboard (like the one on the Royal 440 manual typewriter on which I learned touch-typing more than 40 years ago), I have to recognize that keyboards are going away. They are vanishing from smartphones, as Blackberry maker RIM is discovering to its corporate sorrow. They are vanished from tablets, and the day is probably coming when most computers will incorporate touch screens and voice recognition, with vestigial keyboards that will eventually wither away.
Maybe I was right all along, and 100 million iPad buyers are wrong. It doesn't matter. Since we can't fit all those iPads in our closets, we're just going to have to use them. I might as well get used to it.

Connect a Second Monitor to Your Computer

 By Graeme W Aerts

Before we discuss the how we begin with a brief discussion of the why.
Firstly, multiple monitors are quite useful aids when it comes to multitasking. They can increase productivity by allowing for more information to be available in front of the operator at the one time. Further, they can reduce the time spent searching through windows, tabs, files and folders and can free up brain power that would otherwise be spent remembering the location of things.
Clearly, the existence (and level) of benefit, is dependent on the tasks a person performs on his or her computer. For a person using their computer to pay their bills online and play the odd game of Solitaire, there really is no need to consume the extra kilowatts of an additional screen. If for example, you are a graphic designer, a stock market analyst or simply someone who requires a lot of programs or files to be open at the one time, then the arguments for setting up additional monitors are, in the author's opinion, persuasive.
This is a notion that more and more businesses are accepting by providing workstations with two or more monitors for their staff. This fact has no doubt been aided by the increase in the affordability of computer displays over the past few years.
With regards to the how, in most cases, connecting a second monitor is quite simple. Modern PCs will generally offer two suitable ports, oftentimes a VGA and a DVI. Connecting one monitor to one port and the other monitor to the other port is typically enough for an operating system (such as Windows 7 or Apple's Snow Leopard) to recognize both. However, sometimes a level of tweaking through the operating system is required. For Windows 7, this can be achieved through Change Screen Resolution, which can be found under the Control Panel. For Snow Leopard, System Preferences - Displays. It is within this folder that you can setup one monitor as the primary, adjust the resolution as well as refresh rate.
If your PC does not support two monitors, you may need to upgrade your video card, add an additional video card or consider the use of a splitter or adaptor. When dealing with splitters and adaptors, you should remain mindful of the fact that certain configurations can result in mere duplication of the images on both monitors, as opposed to doubling your independently workable viewing space.

Membeli Rumah Dari Situs Lelang Properti

Ada banyak situs lelang properti online yang menawarkan cara untuk rumah dan bangunan untuk dijual. Sebuah rumah atau bangunan umumnya tidak ditempatkan pada sebuah situs web seperti ini kecuali telah menyita. Bank akan menyita rumah ketika pemilik gagal untuk melakukan pembayaran diatur. Sekarang, ini adalah pasar yang besar karena ekonomi. Perekonomian di Indonesia belum dalam kondisi yang baik selama 5 tahun atau lebih. Hal ini secara drastis mempengaruhi pasar perumahan. Banyak orang telah kehilangan pekerjaan mereka, dan hal ini juga telah menyebabkan mereka kehilangan rumah mereka. Nilai rumah di seluruh daerah juga menurun pesat, dan ini juga telah efek ekonomi. Karena hal-hal dan alasan lainnya, properti situs lelang dipenuhi dengan rumah dijual.
Jika Anda melihat pada sebuah situs web seperti ini, Anda akan dapat mencari rumah di seluruh indonesia. Anda dapat mencari rumah dalam keadaan tertentu atau kota, dan Anda akan terkejut melihat betapa banyak rumah ada dijual di situs tersebut. Salah satu manfaat utama dari membeli rumah dari sebuah situs lelang adalah harga. Harga rumah ini sering di bawah nilai pasar saat ini, dan itu adalah karena bank hanya ingin menyingkirkan rumah. Sebuah rumah kosong tidak baik bagi siapa saja, dan itu benar-benar membutuhkan pekerjaan. Jika bank forecloses di rumah, ia harus mengurus rumah itu. Sebuah rumah kosong adalah undangan untuk masalah, dan orang-orang tahu kapan rumah yang kosong. Bank harus mencoba untuk menjual rumah secepat mungkin untuk menghindari kehilangan uang lagi.
Ini adalah salah satu alasan utama mengapa bank mengiklankan rumah di situs lelang properti. Di situs ini, rumah yang akan dijual melalui cara-cara lelang. Orang dapat mengajukan tawaran pada rumah, dan mereka bisa belajar banyak detail dari rumah yang terdaftar di situs tersebut. Rumah-rumah sering mulai keluar pada tawaran yang sangat rendah. Sebagai contoh, Anda mungkin dapat menemukan sebuah rumah yang senilai Rp 200.000.000 yang terdaftar pada Rp. 200.000.000 untuk tawaran pembukaan. Tentu saja, Anda akan kemungkinan besar tidak akan mampu membeli rumah untuk harga, tapi Anda tidak pernah tahu. Jika tidak ada tawaran lain di rumah, Anda bisa berakhir memenangkan tender pada harga.
Ada beberapa hal yang harus Anda ketahui sebelum penawaran sekalipun. Beberapa situs mengharuskan Anda menempatkan kartu kredit di file yang digunakan untuk melakukan pembayaran bawah Anda. Mereka juga mungkin memiliki persyaratan lain untuk memastikan bahwa Anda seorang pembeli yang memenuhi syarat. Orang-orang menggunakan situs tersebut untuk membeli rumah untuk hidup, tetapi mereka juga menggunakannya untuk membeli properti sewa. Investor sering mengunjungi situs-situs dan tawaran pada properti untuk tujuan investasi. Jika Anda dapat membeli rumah untuk harga yang sangat rendah, Anda mungkin dapat menjualnya dan membuat keuntungan yang baik.

The Art of Website Design

By Kelly Montagna 
Are you thinking of building your own website? There are many people who make the mistake of trying to build a website without any sort of plan or direction. Even worse, some people actually publish websites that started that way. If you look around long enough you will see plenty of these sites, though many of them seem to be left-overs from the 1990's. That said, you will need to decide what sort of website you are creating before you break out the web design software.
If you are going to design a business website, then you need to decide where you are going to place your products on the page. You will need to decide what configuration to place them in, and how the customers are going to get to the products. In addition to that however, you will need to decide what tools you are going to use for your web design.
There are a few different web design tools out there ranging from notepad to Dreamweaver. The one you choose will depend on your level of skill, as well as the end result you are trying to achieve. For example, Dreamweaver allows for more flexibility in creating flash components within your website. In addition to that, it works alongside Flash, meaning you can create your own applications and controls.
When you become a more advanced user, you can feel free to use notepad. Notepad files can be used to create code for your website (HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc) and that code can be saved as a .htm file. Once saved, it can be opened in a web browser and viewed. This is a bit of a roundabout process however, and if you have a good web development suite, you will be able to create your document and view it in real time. This method will save you a lot of time and effort, and many choose it for web design.
Knowing how to create a website, and knowing how to create a usable website are two very different things. You need to pay close attention to the layout and ensure it makes sense. For instance, it is important to have a decent navigation plan which means having a navigation bar, or at least a way to move around the site.
As you are designing the web page in question, and creating the navigation functions, you will want to test each link thoroughly, making sure they work on each and every page. If you have any broken links, customers will lose faith in your product, and rather easily. If you are ready to build a website, then now would be a great time to start searching for the appropriate software, and of course, start making plans.
If you plan to use any special elements, flash for example, you will want to make sure you find a host that supports the use of these elements. If you choose the wrong web host, you may end up with a completely blank website once it is published. Over time, you will likely need to make changes to your website, so make sure you keep up with the latest changes to web development technology, and of course, learn how to implement them properly. It's time for you to get to work on your brand new webpage!

Invest Your Money Wisely and Buy BMV Property Leads

 By Dane Giandelone

Many people are choosing to make financial investments because they know that gaining interest on their savings in a bank account is not going to offer them a good enough interest rate. There are many more ways to make the most of your savings which don't leave it sat in a savings account. More and more people are choosing to invest their money in property, property investment is fantastic because houses are currently relatively low in price to what they have been which means that you can get a good bargain.
 
The property market will begin to pick up again which means that you can then sell your property for a profit at the right time. Property is such a great investment as you can make money from it almost straight away which means it's not only an investment but it can be a business too. The best way to make money from a property you have invested in is to rent it out, if you are renting out a property you may be able to afford to save up for a deposit for a mortgage so that you can purchase another property to rent and so forth. Due to the property market being very slow more people are choosing to rent as it's the only way they can afford to move out after university rather than moving back in with their parents. No one can afford to buy a home of their own and so friends are choosing to live together so that they can have their own space like they are used to.
 
One of the best ways to purchase a property for investment is by choosing a below market value (BMV) property lead. These properties are usually ones that have been repossessed and most of the properties are in excellent condition which means they can be rented out almost straight away for very little additional cost.
 
Finding a BMV property lead is very easy to do because there are websites which specialise in selling BMV property leads, these can be found by a quick search on the internet and are very easy to use meaning that you could find an available property in your area within minutes. Even buying a BMV lead isn't difficult as it's just like buying anything else online, and going through the checkout process, most companies will use an external operator such as PayPal or Google Checkout and so if you have an account you can pay with that rather than needing to enter your card details.
Property is a great investment because it gives you many different options, if you choose to invest your money in the stock markets there's a much higher risk of losing your money and all of your savings could be down the drain in moments. If you are looking to invest your money it is important that you make the right choice and don't rush into an investment.
 
You should always take the time to look at the properties available so that you can choose the one which is right for you. Never purchase the first property that it is in your area, or the only property you find that is in your area. You should take the time to consider the property and how well it will work for you in terms of investment along with its rental potential. Houses are always appearing on BMV lead websites and if you look back regularly you may find a much better property and wonder why you even considered that very first property which you found.

BMV Property Investments is a well established company who specialise in helping you buy BMV property leads, they can help you find the perfect property to invest your money in so that you can see an excellent return when the time comes.

Off Campus Housing Facilities for College Students

 By Andrew Stratton

Off campus housing is becoming more and more popular for college kids students these days. There are many benefits for this arrangement that will surely please both the student and the parents. Many of the developers that have expanded on this idea have allotted mid-size cottages as houses for the students. These can usually house about three to four students at any given time. The idea is very appealing to the kids because there is a level of independence that can be achieved in it. Many of the houses are available for rent while some are for lease. Policies of the developers usually stand and are limited to students of nearby colleges only. Developers do not usually allow working people or non-students to rent any of the living space in the secured community.
Benefits
The benefits of taking on off campus housing include, but are not limited to, a huge amount of privacy, comfortable lifestyle, plenty of green space, basic furnishing, safe neighborhood and amenities. Privacy comes in the form of having a limited number of students in one cottage or house. Although visitors are allowed there are limits to the time and number of visitors that can stay over or even stay up to a certain hour.
The rooms of each of the cottages or houses are also very spacious and can easily house the belongings of the individual. Many, if not all of these kinds of living arrangements, have individual bathrooms for each of the bedrooms that are in the house. There are limits as to the number of appliances that can be brought in per room but many of the developers of these communities furnish the living room and kitchen with basic appliances. The comfort of living in a wide and spacious off campus housing facility is unparalleled because it can greatly reduce the pressure and stress that college students usually have. Knowing that they have a comfortable haven to stay in after school hours can be a great stress reliever in itself. Green space is also something that many college facilities that provide houses for their students are proud of. There is a premium for facilities that can provide trees and plants in the general vicinity of the houses. These usually encourage better living and a calmer atmosphere for the students.
Basic furnishing is a given for most of these houses or cottages and some are even furnished better than ordinary houses outside of the community. Arrangements with regards to the furnishings in the house can be made through the developer before the tenant puts up house in the dwelling. Many parents and college kids prefer to have the house furnished before they come so they do not have to go shopping for the basic furnishings that they need for their off campus housing unit. These communities are usually very secure and safe because the developer and the company that maintains it have measures to make sure that their tenants are safe. The tenants also have access to whatever amenities are available to them in the community.

Product Reviewing in Blogs

By Prince Mondal Everyone knows right now that the best way to have your voice heard is on the internet. If you have a complaint or a good comment about a company you can voice it out on the internet. This has led to the increase of blogs.
There are very many blogs, some useful and some not so useful but how can an average blogger turn their blog into something unique? Well it is not hard simply get yourself some products and review them. This does not mean that you have to go down to the store, buy a product, use it then review. Actually you can get companies to send you their products free of charge all for the sake of reviewing them and putting the reviews on your blog.
So how does one get products to review on their blog for free? First of all ensure that you have a blog or blogs that are worth visiting. No one wants to read something that will not interest them. It is also good to have some SEO knowledge since you will be able to use essential keywords that will attract people to your blogs and increase the traffic. Who will notice all these changes? The product manufacturers of course.
Now ensure that you only write about something that was solicited for. Do ensure that you review products that you are very familiar with because other potential product manufacturers are always crawling online and you do not want to disappoint them. You do not also want to disappoint your avid readers so write about products that are common to them.
Ensure that it is easy to reach you so do place your contacts in your blogs because you never know who might be seeking your product review services. You can also go to the social networks and look for marketers who want reviews for their products. This is also the right place for you to announce your product review services. Do not underestimate the power of social sites.
One can also register themselves with blogging companies that pay bloggers for the product reviews that they give. With such companies one should expect more simply because they will not only be receiving some cash but some free products as well. Now when you are writing a review you should know that you will be the voice of very many people and as it is said that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones, bloggers who receive free products should not be quiet about that fact. Let your readers know that you are usually given free products to write reviews about. Your transparency counts a lot. It is also said that truth hurts and as a blogger who writes product reviews let honesty be your best policy. Do not write product reviews to please the manufacturer but write the truth about the product even if it is not a good review. It is possible to get free products to review but just remember to put a lot of honest work to it.

MERAKIT KOMPUTER

MERAKIT SENDIRI KOMPUTER

Komponen perakit komputer tersedia di pasaran dengan beragam pilihan kualitas dan harga. Dengan merakit sendiri komputer, kita dapat menentukan jenis komponen, kemampuan serta fasilitas dari komputer sesuai kebutuhan. Tahapan dalam perakitan komputer terdiri dari: A. Persiapan B. Perakitan C. Pengujian D. Penanganan Masalah Persiapan Persiapan yang baik akan memudahkan dalam perakitan komputer serta menghindari permasalahan yang mungkin timbul. Hal yang terkait dalam persiapan meliputi: Penentuan Konfigurasi Komputer Persiapan Kompunen dan perlengkapan Pengamanan Penentuan Konfigurasi Komputer Konfigurasi komputer berkait dengan penentuan jenis komponen dan fitur dari komputer serta bagaimana seluruh komponen dapat bekerja sebagai sebuah sistem komputer sesuai keinginan kita. Penentuan komponen dimulai dari jenis prosessor, motherboard, lalu komponen lainnya. Faktor kesesuaian atau kompatibilitas dari komponen terhadap motherboard harus diperhatikan, karena setiap jenis motherboard mendukung jenis prosessor, modul memori, port dan I/O bus yang berbeda-beda. Persiapan Komponen dan Perlengkapan Komponen komputer beserta perlengkapan untuk perakitan dipersiapkan untuk perakitan dipersiapkan lebih dulu untuk memudahkan perakitan. Perlengkapan yang disiapkan terdiri dari: Komponen komputer Kelengkapan komponen seperti kabel, sekerup, jumper, baut dan sebagainya Buku manual dan referensi dari komponen Alat bantu berupa obeng pipih dan philips Software sistem operasi, device driver dan program aplikasi. Buku manual diperlukan sebagai rujukan untuk mengatahui diagram posisi dari elemen koneksi (konektor, port dan slot) dan elemen konfigurasi (jumper dan switch) beserta cara setting jumper dan switch yang sesuai untuk komputer yang dirakit. Diskette atau CD Software diperlukan untuk menginstall Sistem Operasi, device driver dari piranti, dan program aplikasi pada komputer yang selesai dirakit. Pengamanan Tindakan pengamanan diperlukan untuk menghindari masalah seperti kerusakan komponen oleh muatan listrik statis, jatuh, panas berlebihan atau tumpahan cairan. Pencegahan kerusakan karena listrik statis dengan cara: Menggunakan gelang anti statis atau menyentuh permukaan logam pada casing sebelum memegang komponen untuk membuang muatan statis. Tidak menyentuh langsung komponen elektronik, konektor atau jalur rangkaian tetapi memegang pada badan logam atau plastik yang terdapat pada komponen. Perakitan Tahapan proses pada perakitan komputer terdiri dari: Penyiapan motherboard Memasang Prosessor Memasang heatsink Memasang Modul Memori memasang Motherboard pada Casing Memasang Power Supply Memasang Kabel Motherboard dan Casing Memasang Drive Memasang card Adapter Penyelesaian Akhir 1. Penyiapan motherboard Periksa buku manual motherboard untuk mengetahui posisi jumper untuk pengaturan CPU speed, speed multiplier dan tegangan masukan ke motherboard. Atur seting jumper sesuai petunjuk, kesalahan mengatur jumper tegangan dapat merusak prosessor. 2. Memasang Prosessor Prosessor lebih mudah dipasang sebelum motherboard menempati casing. Cara memasang prosessor jenis socket dan slot berbeda. Jenis socket Tentukan posisi pin 1 pada prosessor dan socket prosessor di motherboard, umumnya terletak di pojok yang ditandai dengan titik, segitiga atau lekukan. Tegakkan posisi tuas pengunci socket untuk membuka. Masukkan prosessor ke socket dengan lebih dulu menyelaraskan posisi kaki-kaki prosessor dengan lubang socket. rapatkan hingga tidak terdapat celah antara prosessor dengan socket. Turunkan kembali tuas pengunci. Jenis Slot Pasang penyangga (bracket) pada dua ujung slot di motherboard sehingga posisi lubang pasak bertemu dengan lubang di motherboard Masukkan pasak kemudian pengunci pasak pada lubang pasak Selipkan card prosessor di antara kedua penahan dan tekan hingga tepat masuk ke lubang slot. 3. Memasang Heatsink Fungsi heatsink adalah membuang panas yang dihasilkan oleh prosessor lewat konduksi panas dari prosessor ke heatsink. Untuk mengoptimalkan pemindahan panas maka heatsink harus dipasang rapat pada bagian atas prosessor dengan beberapa clip sebagai penahan sedangkan permukaan kontak pada heatsink dilapisi gen penghantar panas. Bila heatsink dilengkapi dengan fan maka konektor power pada fan dihubungkan ke konektor fan pada motherboard. 4. Memasang Modul Memori Modul memori umumnya dipasang berurutan dari nomor socket terkecil. Urutan pemasangan dapat dilihat dari diagram motherboard. Setiap jenis modul memori yakni SIMM, DIMM dan RIMM dapat dibedakan dengan posisi lekukan pada sisi dan bawah pada modul. Cara memasang untuk tiap jenis modul memori sebagai berikut. Jenis SIMM Sesuaikan posisi lekukan pada modul dengan tonjolan pada slot. Masukkan modul dengan membuat sudut miring 45 derajat terhadap slot Dorong hingga modul tegak pada slot, tuas pengunci pada slot akan otomatis mengunci modul. Jenis DIMM dan RIMM Cara memasang modul DIMM dan RIMM sama dan hanya ada satu cara sehingga tidak akan terbalik karena ada dua lekukan sebagai panduan. Perbedaanya DIMM dan RIMM pada posisi lekukan Rebahkan kait pengunci pada ujung slot sesuaikan posisi lekukan pada konektor modul dengan tonjolan pada slot. lalu masukkan modul ke slot. Kait pengunci secara otomatis mengunci modul pada slot bila modul sudah tepat terpasang. 5. Memasang Motherboard pada Casing Motherboard dipasang ke casing dengan sekerup dan dudukan (standoff). Cara pemasangannya sebagai berikut: Tentukan posisi lubang untuk setiap dudukan plastik dan logam. Lubang untuk dudukan logam (metal spacer) ditandai dengan cincin pada tepi lubang. Pasang dudukan logam atau plastik pada tray casing sesuai dengan posisi setiap lubang dudukan yang sesuai pada motherboard. Tempatkan motherboard pada tray casing sehinga kepala dudukan keluar dari lubang pada motherboard. Pasang sekerup pengunci pada setiap dudukan logam. Pasang bingkai port I/O (I/O sheild) pada motherboard jika ada. Pasang tray casing yang sudah terpasang motherboard pada casing dan kunci dengan sekerup. 6. Memasang Power Supply Beberapa jenis casing sudah dilengkapi power supply. Bila power supply belum disertakan maka cara pemasangannya sebagai berikut: Masukkan power supply pada rak di bagian belakang casing. Pasang ke empat buah sekerup pengunci. HUbungkan konektor power dari power supply ke motherboard. Konektor power jenis ATX hanya memiliki satu cara pemasangan sehingga tidak akan terbalik. Untuk jenis non ATX dengan dua konektor yang terpisah maka kabel-kabel ground warna hitam harus ditempatkan bersisian dan dipasang pada bagian tengah dari konektor power motherboard. Hubungkan kabel daya untuk fan, jika memakai fan untuk pendingin CPU. 7. Memasang Kabel Motherboard dan Casing Setelah motherboard terpasang di casing langkah selanjutnya adalah memasang kabel I/O pada motherboard dan panel dengan casing. Pasang kabel data untuk floppy drive pada konektor pengontrol floppy di motherboard Pasang kabel IDE untuk pada konektor IDE primary dan secondary pada motherboard. Untuk motherboard non ATX. Pasang kabel port serial dan pararel pada konektor di motherboard. Perhatikan posisi pin 1 untuk memasang. Pada bagian belakang casing terdapat lubang untuk memasang port tambahan jenis non slot. Buka sekerup pengunci pelat tertutup lubang port lalumasukkan port konektor yang ingin dipasang dan pasang sekerup kembali. Bila port mouse belum tersedia di belakang casing maka card konektor mouse harus dipasang lalu dihubungkan dengan konektor mouse pada motherboard. Hubungan kabel konektor dari switch di panel depan casing, LED, speaker internal dan port yang terpasang di depan casing bila ada ke motherboard. Periksa diagram motherboard untuk mencari lokasi konektor yang tepat. 8. Memasang Drive Prosedur memasang drive hardisk, floppy, CD ROM, CD-RW atau DVD adalah sama sebagai berikut: Copot pelet penutup bay drive (ruang untuk drive pada casing) Masukkan drive dari depan bay dengan terlebih dahulu mengatur seting jumper (sebagai master atau slave) pada drive. Sesuaikan posisi lubang sekerup di drive dan casing lalu pasang sekerup penahan drive. Hubungkan konektor kabel IDE ke drive dan konektor di motherboard (konektor primary dipakai lebih dulu) Ulangi langkah 1 samapai 4 untuk setiap pemasangan drive. Bila kabel IDE terhubung ke du drive pastikan perbedaan seting jumper keduanya yakni drive pertama diset sebagai master dan lainnya sebagai slave. Konektor IDE secondary pada motherboard dapat dipakai untuk menghubungkan dua drive tambahan. Floppy drive dihubungkan ke konektor khusus floppy di motherboard Sambungkan kabel power dari catu daya ke masing-masing drive. 9. Memasang Card Adapter Card adapter yang umum dipasang adalah video card, sound, network, modem dan SCSI adapter. Video card umumnya harus dipasang dan diinstall sebelum card adapter lainnya. Cara memasang adapter: Pegang card adapter pada tepi, hindari menyentuh komponen atau rangkaian elektronik. Tekan card hingga konektor tepat masuk pada slot ekspansi di motherboard Pasang sekerup penahan card ke casing Hubungkan kembali kabel internal pada card, bila ada. 10. Penyelessaian Akhir Pasang penutup casing dengan menggeser sambungkan kabel dari catu daya ke soket dinding. Pasang konektor monitor ke port video card. Pasang konektor kabel telepon ke port modem bila ada. Hubungkan konektor kabel keyboard dan konektor mouse ke port mouse atau poert serial (tergantung jenis mouse). Hubungkan piranti eksternal lainnya seperti speaker, joystick, dan microphone bila ada ke port yang sesuai. Periksa manual dari card adapter untuk memastikan lokasi port. Pengujian Komputer yang baru selesai dirakit dapat diuji dengan menjalankan program setup BIOS. Cara melakukan pengujian dengan program BIOS sebagai berikut: Hidupkan monitor lalu unit sistem. Perhatikan tampilan monitor dan suara dari speaker. Program FOST dari BIOS secara otomatis akan mendeteksi hardware yang terpasang dikomputer. Bila terdapat kesalahan maka tampilan monitor kosong dan speaker mengeluarkan bunyi beep secara teratur sebagai kode indikasi kesalahan. Periksa referensi kode BIOS untuk mengetahui indikasi kesalahan yang dimaksud oleh kode beep. Jika tidak terjadi kesalahan maka monitor menampilkan proses eksekusi dari program POST. ekan tombol interupsi BIOS sesuai petunjuk di layar untuk masuk ke program setup BIOS. Periksa semua hasil deteksi hardware oleh program setup BIOS. Beberapa seting mungkin harus dirubah nilainya terutama kapasitas hardisk dan boot sequence. Simpan perubahan seting dan keluar dari setup BIOS. Setelah keluar dari setup BIOS, komputer akan meload Sistem OPerasi dengan urutan pencarian sesuai seting boot sequence pada BIOS. Masukkan diskette atau CD Bootable yang berisi sistem operasi pada drive pencarian. Penanganan Masalah Permasalahan yang umum terjadi dalam perakitan komputer dan penanganannya antara lain: Komputer atau monitor tidak menyala, kemungkinan disebabkan oleh switch atau kabel daya belum terhubung. Card adapter yang tidak terdeteksi disebabkan oleh pemasangan card belum pas ke slot/ LED dari hardisk, floppy atau CD menyala terus disebabkan kesalahan pemasangan kabel konektor atau ada pin yang belum pas terhubung.

Internet untuk pendidikan dan Penelitian

Internet berawal dari institusi pendidikan dan penelitian di Amerika Serikat. Penggunaan Internet untuk kepentingan bisnis baru dilakukan semenjak tahun 1995, belum genap enam (6) tahun yang lalu. Di luar negeri, Internet ini sering diasosiasikan dengan perguruan tinggi, sementara di Indonesia, Internet lebih diasosiasikan dengan bisnis (ISP, e-commerce) dan entertainment.

Manfaat Internet Bagi Pendidikan

Agak janggal bagi penulis untuk menuliskan manfaat Internet bagi pendidikan. Namun, untuk memperjelas maka akan penulis ulas secara singkat manfaat Internet bagi pendidikan.

Akses ke sumber informasi. Sebelum adanya Internet, masalah utama yang dihadapi oleh pendidikan (di seluruh dunia) adalah akses kepada sumber informasi. Perpustakaan yang konvensional merupakan sumber informasi yang sayangnya tidak murah.

Buku-buku dan journal harus dibeli dengan harga mahal. Pengelolaan yang baik juga tidak mudah. Sehingga akibatnya banyak tempat di berbagai lokasi di dunia (termasuk di dunia Barat) yang tidak memiliki perpustakaan yang lengkap. Adanya Internet memungkinkan mengakses kepada sumber informasi yang mulai tersedia banyak. Dengan kata lain, masalah akses semestinya bukan menjadi masalah lagi.

Di Indonesia, masalah kelangkaan sumber informasi konvensional (perpustakaan) lebih berat dibanding dengan tempat lain. Adanya Internet merupakan salah satu solusi pamungkas untuk mengatasi masalah ini.

Akses ke pakar. Internet menghilangkan batas ruang dan waktu sehingga memungkinan seorang siswa berkomunikasi dengan pakar di tempat lain. Seorang siswa di Makassar dapat berkonsultasi dengan dosen di Bandung atau bahkan di Palo Alto, Amerika Serikat.
Media kerjasama. Kolaborasi atau kerjasama antara pihak-pihak yang terlibat dalam bidang pendidikan dapat terjadi dengan lebih mudah, efisien, dan lebih murah.

Permasalahan Internet Untuk Pendidikan

Penjabaran di atas tentunya membawa kita pada pertanyaan mengapa kita belum banyak menggunakan Internet untuk keperluan pendidikan di Indonesia. Ada beberapa alasan, dimana sebagian akan diungkapkan pada bagian-bagian di bawah ini.
Kurangnya penguasaan bahasa Inggris. Suka atau tidak suka, sebagian besar informasi di Internet tersedia dalam bahasa Inggris. Penguasaan bahasa Inggris menjadi salah satu keunggulan (advantage).

Kurangnya sumber informasi dalam bahasa Indonesia. Kita sadari bahwa tidak semua orang Indonesia akan belajar bahasa Inggris. Untuk itu sumber informasi dalam bahasa Indonesia harus tersedia. Saat ini belum banyak sumber informasi pendidikan yang tersedia dalam bahasa Indonesia. Konsep berbagi (sharring), misalnya dengan membuat materi-materi pendidikan di Internet, belum merasuk. Inisiatif langka seperti ini sudah ada namun masih kurang banyak.

Akses Internet masih mahal

Meskipun sudah tersedia, akses ke Internet masih mahal. Namun hal ini diharapkan akan menjadi lebih murah di masa yang akan datang. Diharapkan akselerasi penurunan harga menjadi fokus utama dari Pemerintah. Mekanisme lain adalah adanya subsidi dari pemerintah untuk institusi pendidikan.

Akses Internet masih susah diperoleh. Beberapa daerah di Indonesia masih belum memiliki jalur telepon yang dapat digunakan untuk mengakses Internet.

Guru belum siap. Guru di Indonesia masih belum siap untuk menggunakan Internet sebagai bagian dari pengajarannya. Padahal guru merupakan salah satu pengguna yang dapat memanfaatkan Internet sebaik-baiknya. Salah satu contohnya adalah mencari soal-soal latihan untuk kelasnya. Jika setiap guru di Indonesia membuat dua (2) soal dan menyimpannya di Internet, maka akan ada ribuan bahkan bisa jutaan soal yang dapat digunakan untuk latihan di kelas.

Penutup
Internet merupakan salah satu produk teknologi yang dapat membantu kita meningkatkan taraf hidup melalui pendidikan. Meskipun masih banyak tantangan, kita masih dapat memanfaatkan Internet sebesar mungkin.

Perkembangan internet dan telekomunikasi

Teknologi Informasi dan Telekomunikasi (Information and Communication Technology/ICT) merupakan tulang punggung aplikasi Web 2.0. Perkembangan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi yang fenomenal dan menjadi awal munculnya aplikasi web adalah Internet. Internet yang berawal dari riset untuk pertahanan dan keamanan serta pendidikan berkembang menjadi perangkat pendukung bisnis yang sangat berpengaruh. Dalam kaitan dengan aplikasi Web 2.0 ini, terdapat beberapa peristiwa penting dalam sejarah internet.
Berawal pada tahun 1957, melalui Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), Amerika Serikat bertekad mengembangkan jaringan komunikasi terintegrasi yang saling menghubungkan komunitas sains dan keperluan militer. Hal ini dilatarbelakangi oleh terjadinya perang dingin antara Amerika Serikat dengan Uni Soviet (tahun 1957 Soviet meluncurkan sputnik).
Perkembangan besar Internet pertama adalah penemuan terpenting ARPA yaitu packet switching pada tahun 1960. Packet switching adalah pengiriman pesan yang dapat dipecah dalam paket-paket kecil yang masing-masing paketnya dapat melalui berbagai alternatif jalur jika salahsatu jalur rusak untuk mencapai tujuan yang telah ditentukan. Packet switching juga memungkinkan jaringan dapat digunakan secara bersamaan untuk melakukan banyak koneksi, berbeda dengan jalur telepon yang memerlukan jalur khusus untuk melakukan koneksi. Maka ketika ARPANET menjadi jaringan komputer nasional di Amerika Serikat pada 1969, packet switching digunakan secara menyeluruh sebagai metode komunikasinya menggantikan circuit switching yang digunakan pada sambungan telepon publik.
Perkembangan besar Internet kedua yang dicatat pada sejarah internet adalah pengembangan lapisan protokol jaringan yang terkenal karena paling banyak digunakan sekarang yaitu TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol).
