5 Things You're Probably Doing Wrong Working With BloggersErica Ehm
The document provides tips for working with bloggers effectively. It advises understanding the blogger's background, content, and audience before working with them. Bloggers should be compensated for their work in creating content, as blogging is a profession. Campaigns require planning deliverables like reporting and rules for contests. Developing long term engagement and working relationships with bloggers will lead to better outcomes than one-off campaigns. Quality bloggers should be prioritized over quantity.
Universal design aims to create products and environments that can be used by all people without needing adaptation or specialized design. It promotes learning for all students, whether gifted or having a disability, by encouraging the use of multiple teaching methods in classrooms to accommodate different learning styles. The process of universal design involves identifying the context, involving consumers, adopting standards, applying those standards, planning for accommodations, providing training and support, and evaluating the results.

The production process of a newspaper involves an editorial process and manufacturing process. The editorial process involves editors determining stories and layout. Stories are written by reporters, checked by editors, and placed on dummies which outline the page layout. The manufacturing process involves typesetting stories, adding images, and approving pages before printing. Large printing presses print the pages on rolls of paper and fold the printed pages into bundles for distribution. Modern production technology aims to optimize costs and workflow.

Supercomputers are used for advanced scientific and engineering applications like weather modeling, nuclear research, and animations that regular computers cannot handle due to their immense processing power needs.
Transcript: Lamp stack of manufacturing - Make:HIWNick Pinkston
Nick Pinkston discusses his vision for the future of manufacturing where engineers and designers have more direct control over the production process. He outlines a "manufacturing stack" approach where physical machines are abstracted so they can be automated, networked together into a flexible assembly line, have designs compiled into machine commands, and allow rapid debugging. This gives engineers a more direct interface with production similar to how software is developed and deployed through layers of abstraction, automation and interfaces.
Printers and plotters are output devices that communicate computer-generated information to users. Printers produce representations of electronic documents on paper or film using various technologies like inkjet, laser, or solid ink. Plotters are used to print large vector graphics and maps and work by moving a pen or other drawing instrument across paper. Common types of plotters include drum, flatbed, pen, electrostatic, and inkjet plotters. The document discusses the characteristics and technologies of various printers and plotters.
This document is a seminar report submitted by K. Anjali on SnapJet technology. It includes an introduction, history of printing technologies, types of printers such as dot matrix, daisy wheel, line, drum, chain, and band printers. It also discusses non-impact printers like inkjet and laser printers. The report describes advantages and disadvantages of various printer types and their applications. It provides details on the seminar with figures and tables. The objective is to inform about the evolution of printing technologies and SnapJet's innovative approach.
The document discusses how manufacturing is undergoing a third industrial revolution due to new digital technologies. Some key points:
1) Additive manufacturing/3D printing allows for on-demand production of customized parts at lower costs than traditional manufacturing. This could bring some manufacturing back to wealthy countries.
2) Factories are becoming highly automated through technologies like robotics, computer-controlled machines, and digitization. This is increasing productivity while reducing the number of workers needed.
3) New materials like carbon fiber and processes like genetic engineering are changing what and how products are made. Everything in future factories will be digitally controlled through software.
4) These changes amount to a third industrial revolution that will transform manufacturing
1. Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques that quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part using 3D computer-aided design data through additive layer manufacturing. 2. The document discusses the history and development of rapid prototyping technologies from the 1980s onward. 3. It describes common rapid prototyping processes like stereolithography, selective laser sintering, and fused deposition modeling which build parts layer-by-layer from materials in different states of matter.

History of computer and classification of computersRoopsi Srivastava
The history of computers began thousands of years ago with the abacus, used in China as an early counting device. The first programmable computer was invented in Germany in the 1930s, while the first digital commercial computer was the ENIAC, created in the 1940s. In the 1980s, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs drove the personal computer revolution by making computers more accessible and user-friendly through Microsoft and Apple. They established the foundations for how people interact with computers today.
The document discusses different types of printers including inkjet printers, laser printers, dot matrix printers, and daisy wheel printers. It describes the basic operation of each type of printer, their advantages and disadvantages, and provides a brief history of printer development. Key points covered include how dot matrix printers form characters using pins, the laser scanning and toner transfer process used in laser printers, and that inkjet and laser printers now produce higher quality output than earlier printer technologies.
This document summarizes a presentation about embracing nihilism in software development to avoid creating unnecessary dead code. It discusses how one team created an overly large codebase with many unused features due to poor communication and lack of focus. They addressed this by printing out 500+ pages of dead code, gaining management buy-in for minimalism. Developers then focused on the simplest solutions, high test coverage, and reducing code and file counts over time.
Sean Moss-Pultz, an FIC product development manager, introduced the Neo1973 -- and OpenMoko -- as the "Mystery Guest" at the inaugural "Open Source in Mobile" conference in Amsterdam, 2006.

4 D Computing: Life comes at us polydimensionallyJoe Raimondo
The document discusses the need for multi-dimensional interfaces and computing devices that can better reflect how humans naturally operate across multiple dimensions like space, time, and context. It proposes a prospective design for a "4-D computer" that uses an array of sensors and a flexible display to allow input and output across multiple dimensions. The goal is to build devices that can better support collaborative, agent-driven work by representing more than just 2 dimensions of space.
The document discusses several topics related to computers and information technology:
1) It summarizes the goals of the Fifth Generation Computer Systems project in Japan to create a new "fifth generation" computer using parallel processing.
2) It explains what an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is and its important role in the central processing unit (CPU) of performing arithmetic and logical operations.
3) It distinguishes between application software and system software, with application software designed for specific tasks and system software involved in integrating computer capabilities.
1. The document discusses several manufacturing technology topics for 2014, including newshoring expanding national economies but dampening global trade, emerging economies leapfrogging centralized manufacturing through distributed digital manufacturing, and the blurring lines between hardware, software, and materials with advances in 3D printing and materials.
2. It also touches on 3D printing enabling more automated "last mile" assembly in factories, the impact of algorithmic design on product design careers, and potential early applications of quantum computing despite major challenges in developing usable quantum algorithms and hardware.
3. Specific examples and perspectives are provided for each topic from sources like CNN, Bloomberg, IT World, and Re/Code to further illustrate trends and issues in these developing areas
