What English Means for Me?

“The limits of my language means the limits of my world.” 

 Ludwig Wittgenstein

Second language is known as the language that we learn after our mother tongue. It is the secondary option of the individual. From the age of three my second language became English.English for a long time was and it is still considered the universal language; just this alone convinces me of the continuing improvement of language. Most of the countries have today accepted the importance of English language. No country as a matter of fact shall be able to survive without the knowledge of English today. There are some reasons why English is so important and many people attempt to learn it like I do. I want to name some of them. The main reason for me now is Internet. All most all the information sharing on the internet is in English so you must know better english to understand what is it all about and also to communicate other people via Internet. An additional reason for studying English is for simple communication. You are much more accepted in the world if you portray yourself better. People will think of you in a better way and you will have a better chance of being accepted. You will most likely also have more opportunities in life. Everyone likes to travel. But how do we communicate with others people in foreign countries who do not speak our mother tongue? The answer is using English because everyone knows at least a little English. English helps to raise up tourism because its easy to communicate with the foreigners. Just think about how hard would it be to keep tourism in each country if tourist guides and the tourist didn't know at least a little English. English language makes the things go easier that's what I think. It's a great pleasure to read books! A massive quantity of books are written in English language so you must know the English language to gain some knowledge, to learn something new or to read more. Even books in the very difficult languages are translated to English language so that foreigners can read and enjoy and on the other hand foreign books which are not written in English are translated to English language so that anyone who knows English well can read those books too. The next fact I'm sharing with you is finding a job in this competitive society.Every boss is looking for qualified, talented, smart and confident employees. For example if you apply for a high class job and when you go for the interview, do you know what kind of employees are going to be hired up? Obviously as I mentioned above qualified, talented, smart and confident employees with fluent English. Why English is so important to find a job? Because we already know that people deal with others in English language especially in the business world, scientific world and other. So what my point here is that you can't get a pretty good job or a promotion without knowing proper English. Just the simple listening to music goes better when you know English, because most of the tracks goes with English lyrics and it is a pleasure to listen, to enjoy and to understand what the singer wants to say. Imagine if people didn't study English. How would people be speaking and learning today? In order to sound educated and literate people need to thoroughly study English. In conclusion, I must tell this, if you want to go ahead in your life and in your stream you should learn English so that it would be easier to reach your achievements. That is how English plays a major role in our life. Learning English never ends, there is the English dictionary that has so many words in it that most people have never even utilized or heard. Learning to properly use one new word each week is a great way to continually learn to utilize the English language. Pros & Cons of Using Technologies in Education As time has progress, technology has increasingly progress as well. With this progression, technology has been used for various of purposes such as leisure, communication, and education. However, in terms of education, technology is a bliss and a curse. It may enable the teacher to teach a large class; however, the decreasing value of human contact in the teacher and student relationship may present troubling concerns. There are several other reasons to support either side, and here they are: Pros Cons Engaging Young People The new wave of exciting online learning programs and educational games has brought teaching into children’s own territory like never before. Rather than associating school with boring essays and dusty blackboards, pupils are finding ways to learn whilst having fun, in the online world with which they are already familiar. Social Media The use of social media in education has been particularly successful in engaging and exciting young people about learning, allowing them to share and play with their peers and to use sites like Myspace and Facebook to set up and collaborate on projects in an exciting and immediate forum. Education for All The movement of education to the internet has opened up a whole new realm of opportunities for students of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the world. Suddenly anybody with an internet connection can attend a series of world-class lectures at Harvard University using video streaming, whilst online universities and degrees invite pupils from the most isolated backgrounds to study alongside their peers. Thanks to education technology, the opportunity for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to self-educate has increased exponentially. Worldwide Learning The opportunity for young people to engage with other schools and students across the world has opened up a hugely rich insight into the lives and customs of different cultures and religions, providing a diversity of experience hitherto unimaginable in the school classroom. E-twinning allows profitable and exciting links to be formed between schools from different countries, sharing information about completely different cultures, lifestyles and traditions. Sharing Resources For teachers and educators, the introduction of personal learning networks and sites like twitter and web 2.0 have enabled the beginning of an exciting worldwide network. Here education resources, tools and ideas can be shared and spread at the click of a button. Getting Left Behind There is a risk that the boom in online learning and education technology has shifted focus away from traditional teaching methods and classroom practice. While the advantages are enormous, there is also a risk that the injection of money and attention in one direction may leave a vacuum behind. Not all education takes place online, and it is important that we also continue to value and develop our offline teaching practice, to support those educators working in a more traditional environment. A New Generation It has been difficult for some older or less techno-savvy teachers to get on-board with the new media wave in education, with fears that their lack of experience with computers may leave them out in the cold and facing criticism for their ‘old-fashioned’ teaching methods. It is vital that governments and schools provide training and support to induct teachers into new e-learning programs and train them to use education technology effectively. Expensive Electronics Many well-funded schools and colleges have reported exciting strides in e-learning and fantastically successful conversions to digital courses and iPad-only lessons. However it is important to consider the dangers of excluding schools in more disadvantaged areas, where tight budgets and over-full classrooms make it impossible for pupils to benefit from access to the same kind of modern technology. In many inner city state schools in the UK, pupils still share old and faulty computers between a whole class, a far cry from the slick e-learning success stories of pupils using brand new laptops to bounce blue-ray questions and answers across the classroom. In addition it must not be assumed that all pupils are able to access a computer or the internet at home, putting some at a disadvantage outside the classroom too. Distractions and Dangers Whilst the internet provides a plethora of exciting and informative educational resources, it is also rife with less school-friendly distractions and even dangers. The temptation to slip off onto social networking or online gaming sites may make classroom control a challenge, and the ever-present threat of adults with ill-intent must always be considered. And alongside the meteoric rise of e-learning, internet bullying has sadly soared as well. Tight control of electronic parameters by teachers and parents is important,   but can be difficult to enforce, and internet safety must always be a top priority. Impersonal Teaching With a lack of face-to-face contact may come a severing of the bond between teacher and pupil and the human connection that is so important to   successful learning. The dangers of some pupils slipping off the radar or going unnoticed by a teacher in e-learning have been well documented and it is vital that face-to-face engagement and traditional teaching methods continue alongside new technologies. The new opportunities and resources presented by education technology are enormously exciting, but it would be a great shame if our excitement about them caused us to lose the valuable personal educational techniques built up by teachers in classrooms over the past decades. Do you think there are more pros than cons to e-learning?

3D Printer

ZPrinter 450

The new machine is the first color 3D printer to break the $40,000 price point, the most highly automated, and the most compatible with contemporary office environments.

Z Corp. is the only company that makes a full-color 3D printer, an output device that transforms electronic 3D data into handheld physical models. 

The ZPrinter 450, however, introduces first-ever capabilities for a color 3D printer, including:

• Automated operation: The ZPrinter 450 simplifies the 3D printing process with automated operation at every step. New features include automatic setup, powder loading, and self-monitoring of materials and print status. For the first time, a 3D printer automatically removes and recycles loose powder.
• Time saving: Automated operation and new quick-change material cartridges reduce touch time by 40 percent. The ZPrinter 450 also produces color in a new way with a single tri-color print head instead of multiple print heads, reducing cost and enabling 66 percent faster changes.
• Office friendly: It is quiet, uses safe build materials, employs “negative pressure” and a closed loop system to contain airborne particles, and produces zero liquid waste. New “no-touch” powder and binder cartridges enable clean loading of build materials. An integrated fine-powder removal chamber reduces the footprint of the system. And unlike 3D printers that attach support structures to models that later require removal with dangerous razors or chemical baths, the ZPrinter 450 supports models with loose powder that is removed automatically. These capabilities make the ZPrinter 450 as safe and unobtrusive as a standard copier.

Speed, cost-effectiveness and precision: Like its predecessors, the ZPrinter 450 produces models and prototypes five to 10 times faster than competing printers at half the cost. Models cost about $3 per cubic inch – one-half to one-sixth the cost of competitors. It prints in high-quality 300 x 450 dpi.

The technology is used in jewelry, footwear, industrial design, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), automotive, aerospace, dental and medical industries, education, geographic information systems, civil engineering, and many other fields.

ZPrinter 450 is the perfect device for your office!!!

See in the video below how it works

The Development of Storage Devices

From the beginning of mankind, man tried to find a way to store information for the following generations. When people nowadays hear the word storage or computer storage they normally think aboutCD Rom, USB key or DVD. Things like the floppy disk or the punch card are nearly forgotten. In fact, the history of information storage goes back to pre-historic times where mankind used red and yellow ochre, hematite, manganese oxide and charcoal to paint information about their life on rock walls, caves and ceilings.

In Ancient Egypt Papyrus, which is an early form of paper, was used to store information. It remained in use until about 800 AD, when it was replaced by cheaper paper. Before then, however, the use of parchment and vellum had replaced papyrus in many areas as they are much more durable.

The Chinese ordinarily wrote documents on bamboo. Also silk, bones, shells and ivory were used, later bronze, iron, gold, silver, tin, jade, stone and clay. In India palm leaves served for storing information.

In the late 4th millennium BC Sumerians created the cuneiform script that was drawn on clay tablets. Finally, sometime between 150 BC and 105 AD paper was invented.

In medieval England the so called tally stick was a wide spread mnemonic device of the Exchequer for the collection of taxes by local sheriffs. Its origins go back to the Stone Age.

Also the Incas (ca. 1400-1632 AD) had a kind of “memory aid” which was the Quipu and consisted of knots.

In 1440 AD the invention of printing by Gutenberg was really a milestone in the history of information storage.

After the 17th century inventions that usually need some kind of aid to read the information from a particular storage were made. Examples of that are the punch card, punched tape, Phonograph, magnetic tape, magnetic drum, Telegraphon and the selectron tube.

In 1956 IBM invented the hard disk with a size of 5 MB, what was really fantastic for this time. In the years between 1950 and 1980 some storage devices where build that nowadays hardly anyone would remember, for example the bubble memory or the twistor memory. On the other hand there were some technologies introduced that were very important for the development of the computer industry and some of these technologies are still in use today. One of these technologies was the first memory disk, called the floppy disk, invented by Alan Shugart at IBM in 1971. It was considered as a revolutionary device for transporting data from one computer to another. Floppy disks were not able to store as much data as hard disks, but they were much cheaper and more flexible. This invention was also the end for punch cards.

Between 1980 and 2000 there were two new techniques of digital data storing introduced.

At the beginning of the 1980s the first optical devices, the CD and the CD-ROM were released. In the middle of the 1990s these and several other optical devices started to get more and more important and nowadays they are widely used. Exactly at that time the first electronic devices were developed. These devices, e.g. Compact Flash Cards, Memory Sticks etc., are very small but they can store a lot of data and so they find their use in digital cameras, PDAs etc. But nevertheless the development of the magnetic devices did not stop, several new technologies like the Advanced Intelligent Tape were introduced and the main hard disc in a pc is still based on magnetic technology.

In the 21st century the development of the technologies will lead us from the now widely used optical devices to the laser device up to holographic memories. In 2003 the first blue-laser based disc, the Blue-ray disc, was released and the first PC drives are to be expected in 2006. Several other “versions” of the DVD, e.g. HD-DVD have been released or are planned to, all modified to store more and more data and to gain faster access. The real next generation of data storage will be holographic memories, but this is yet to come.
