HOME WORK for LESSON 3 , CHAPTER 3 ❣❣ ;P
✞Computers are useful instruments but have sensitive parts. Just like other equipment, they are prone to damages and malfunction. I learned that we should be very careful in using the computer. We should always remember the safety precautions in using it. But it doesn't mean that we should just take care about it only. They may also harm our health if we did not use it properly. Computers emit enough radiation to harm us. It may damage our health also, including eye strain, wrist injury, and pains in the head, shoulder, back, and neck due to prolonged use of computers. I learned the good work habits in using it, proper workstation design and the proper posture while using it. I learned that we should use the computer properly to avoid damage and malfunction of the computer and of course to avoid accidents that may harm us.

Summary of THE 3 IDIOTS (part of I~ AMETHYST)
The 3 idiots are singing all is well as well as the other students of the Engineering school, then when they used the camera-toy of one of the 3 idiots they saw that their one friend suicide, then they hurried to go to their friend's room then they went to the room and totally saw a note on the wall (I QUIT) which maybe the last sentence their friend said. Then, one of the idiots came to see the permanent stuff to tell that there is a lot of students from their Engineering school that commits suicide which his "very bad", let's say their engineering school is the best but when it comes to suiciders they have the largest record of suiciders, then the permanent staff talked with that idiot then, the staff and the idiot went to a classroom which has students and a professor studying then, the staff announced something like, about the "suicide thing" then, the staff said to the idiot there could be no any more professors or teachers that could be better to their school's teachers or professors, then the staff told the idiot to teach in front of the class, then the idiot asked the students including the staff ti search for the meaning of the word that he wrote in the whiteboard for only 30 secs. they should find the meaning of the word, then after the 30 secs. no one didn't got the anwer, so the idiot told that the word he wrote didn't exists, then they all got angry/ mad at him especially the staff, then after that i think they're asked to be suspended to study in that Engineering school so they went home and and talked with their parents and their parents really got angry because of what happened then, they realized that they didn't really eat, then they saw an event that has a lot of foods and has a lot of people who cam to the event, then they thought of a way they can possibly get in to the event so they observed that the event has costume then they wore the costume that they think would let them in , then in the event they got to eat A LOT OF FOOD then, one of the idiots observed that the fiancee of the daughter of the staff in their school was really mean with the sister or like the his fiancee because he don't like seeing the girl wearing only 200-dollar watch, which is too crazy for the man. then one of the idiots talked with the girl and thought of an idea proving that the boy knows all the price and always think of the price of every object, then something happened , then, the 3 idiots who came just to eat in the event knew that the girl that one of the idiots talked with was the staff they all hate in their school, so the staff really got angry and the staff kicked-out the 3 idiots in the event, and onto the next days, the 3 idiots went to a place then the girl who the 1 idiot talked with saw them then they talked again then, the idiot called the fiancee of the girl and said that the watch of the girl was missing so, the fiancee got really angry because the watched he gave was a limited edition watch and was very expensive then, after a minute the girl realized what real attitude her fiancee has so she broke up with him then that was the time the story ended up for I-Amethyst....

HISTORY OF THE COMPUTERS
Prehistoric man did not have the Internet, but it appears that he needed a way to count and make calculations. The limitations of the human body’s ten fingers and ten toes apparently caused early man to construct a tool to help with those calculations. Scientists now know that humankind invented an early form of computers. Their clue was a bone carved with prime numbers found in 8,500 BC.
The abacus was the next leap forward in computing between 1000 BC and 500 BD. This apparatus used a series of moveable beads or rocks. The positions changed to enter a number and again to perform mathematical operations. Leonardo DaVinci was credited with the invention of the world’s first mechanical calculator in 1500. In 1642, Blaise Pascal’s adding machine upstaged DaVinci’s marvel and moved computing forward again.
In 19th century England, Charles Babbage, a mathematician, proposed the construction of a machine that he called the Babbage Difference Engine. It would not only calculate numbers, it would also be capable of printing mathematical tables. The Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA (near San Diego) built a working replica from the original drawings. Visitors can see in the device in operation there. Unable to construct the actual device, he earned quite a few detractors among England’s literate citizens. However, Babbage made a place for himself in history as the father of computing. Not satisfied with the machines limitations, he drafted plans for the Babbage Analytical Engine. He intended for this computing device to use punch cards as the control mechanism for calculations. This feature would make it possible for his computer to use previously performed calculations in new ones.
Babbage’s idea caught the attention of Ada Byron Lovelace who had an undying passion for math. She also saw possibilities that the Analytical Machine could produce graphics and music. She helped Babbage move his project from idea to reality by documenting how the device would calculate Bernoulli numbers. She later received recognition for writing the world’s first computer program. The United States Department of Defense named a computer language in her honor in 1979.
The computers that followed built on each previous success and improved it. In 1943, the first programmable computer Turing COLOSSUS appeared. It was pressed into service to decipher World War II coded messages from Germany. ENIAC, the brain, was the first electronic computer, in 1946. In 1951, the U.S. Census Bureau became the first government agency to buy a computer, UNIVAC .
The Apple expanded the use of computers to consumers in 1977. The IBM PC for consumers followed closely in 1981, although IBM mainframes were in use by government and corporations.

TYPES OF COMPUTER :D
The Types Of Computers: Analog and Hybrid (classification based on operational principle)
- Analog Computers: The analog computer is almost an extinct type of computer these days. It is different from a digital computer in respect that it can perform numerous mathematical operations simultaneously. It is also unique in terms of operation as it utilizes continuous variables for the purpose of mathematical computation. It utilizes mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical energy or operation.
- Hybrid computers: These types of computers are, as the name suggests, a combination of both Analog and Digital computers. The Digital computers which work on the principle of binary digit system of “0” and “1” can give very precise results. But the problem is that they are too slow and incapable of large scale mathematical operation. In the hybrid types of computers the Digital counterparts convert the analog signals to perform Robotics and Process control.
Apart from this, computers are also categorized on the basis of physical structures and the purpose of their use. Based on Capacity, speed and reliability they can be divided into three categories of computers:
1. The Mainframe Computer – These are computers used by large organizations like meteorological surveys and statistical institutes for performing bulk mathematical computations. They are core computers which are used for desktop functions of over one hundred people simultaneously.
2. The Microcomputer – These are the most frequently used computers better known by the name of “Personal computers”. This is the type of computer meant for public use. Other than Desktop Computer the choice ranges as follows:

- Personal Digital Computer
- Tablet PC
- Towers
- Work Stations
- Laptops
- Hand Held Computer
3. The Mini computer – Mini computers like the mainframe computers are used by business organization. The difference being that it can support the simultaneous working of up to 100 users and is usually maintained in business organizations for the maintenance of accounts and finances.
Yet another category of computer is the Super Computers. It is somewhat similar to mainframe computers and is used in economic forecasts and engineering designs. Today life without computers is inconceivable. Usage of different types of computers has made life both smooth and fast paced.

2. Explain how having the Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies can help you become a successful entrepreneur.
~answer~
Having PECs can help the entrepreneurs to be successful.For example, the main objective of a business owner is 'to do work that I enjoy', then it makes little sense to persuade them with varying advice, grants or
(government) programs to develop the competencies that are necessary for growing
their business. He or she will probably not be really motivated to grow their business.
have or you don't.

A laptop (notebook)[1][2] is a personal computer for mobile use.[3][4][5] A laptop integrates most of the typical components of a desktop computer, including a display, a keyboard, a pointing device (a touchpad, also known as a trackpad, and/or a pointing stick) and speakers into a single unit. A laptop is powered by mains electricity via an AC adapter, and can be used away from an outlet using a rechargeable battery. A laptop battery in new condition typically stores enough energy to run the laptop for three to five hours, depending on the computer usage, configuration and power management settings. When the laptop is plugged into the mains, the battery charges, whether or not the computer is running. Yet as it ages the battery's energy storage will progressively dissipate to lasting only a few minutes.
Portable computers, originally monochrome CRT-based and developing into the modern laptop, were originally considered to be a small niche market, mostly for specialized field applications such as the military, accountants and sales representatives. As portable computers became smaller, lighter, and cheaper and as screens became larger and of better quality, laptops became very widely used for all sorts of purposes.
