PC (Personal Computer)
A PC can be defined as a small, relatively inexpensive computer designed for an individual
user. PCs are based on the microprocessor technology that enables manufacturers to put an
entire CPU on one chip. Businesses use personal
computers for word processing, accounting,
desktop publishing, and for running spreadsheet
and database management applications. At home,
the most popular use for personal computers is
playing games and surfing the Internet.
Workstation:
Workstation is a computer used for engineering applications (CAD/CAM), desktop publishing,
software development, and other such types of applications which require a moderate amount
of computing power and relatively high quality graphics capabilities.
Minicomputer
It is a midsize multi-processing system capable of supporting up to 250 users simultaneously.
Mainframe
Mainframe is very large in size and is an expensive computer capable of supporting hundreds
or even thousands of users simultaneously. Mainframe executes many programs concurrently
and supports many simultaneous execution of programs.
Supercomputer
Supercomputers are one of the fastest computers currently available. Supercomputers are
very expensive and are employed for specialized applications that require immense amount
of mathematical calculations (number crunching).
Microcomputers, commonly known as PCs, they are very small and cheap. The first microcomputer was designed by IBM, it was designed in 1981 and was named IBM-PC. Later, many computer hardware companies copied it and termed their microcomputers as PC-compatible, which means to any PC that is based on the original IBM PC design.
Another type of popular PC is designed by Apple. PCs made by IBM and other PC-compatible computers have a different designing as compared to Apple computers.
Moreover, PCs and PC-compatible computers commonly use the Windows operating system, while Apple computer use the Macintosh operating system (MacOS). However, IBM and IBM-compatible PCs are more popular than Apple PC. These microcomputers can be classified into the following categories
Desktop PC is one of the most popular models of PCs. The desktop PC can be placed on a desk or table. It is widely used in homes and offices. It has physical hardware that makes computer to run and connects to input devices such as keyboard and mouse users interact with. Desktop PCs are mostly used in enterprise, as well as in consumer use cases such as gaming. In the enterprise they are important because they are the main means for many users to do their work. Desktop PC contains Motherboard, Processor, storage devises etc inside it.
Laptops are small microcomputers that can easily fit inside a bag. They are very handy and can easily be carried from one place to another. Hence, laptops are very useful, especially for going on long journeys. Laptops works on a special battery and do not always have to be plugged in like desktop computers. The memory and storage capacity of a laptop is almost equal to that of a desktop computer. As with desktop computers, laptops also have HDDs, floppy disk drives, zip disk drives, etc. For input, laptops have a built-in keyboard and a trackball/touchpad, which is used as a pointing device (as a mouse is used for a desktop PC). But laptops have the same features and processing power and speed as the most powerful PCs. However, there is a problem that laptops are generally more expensive than desktop computers. (TERA GHAR JAYEGA ISSME) These computers are very popular among business travellers
Netbook PC also known as Handheld Computers, In the mid 1990s a wide range of small personal computing devices these are commonly known as handheld computers, Palmtop computers, or Mini-Notebook computers. These computers are called Netbook computers because they can fit in one hand like book, while users can use the other hand to operate them. these computers are very small in size, and hence easy to use
Tablet PC is same as notebook computer and can be operated with one hand, but it can be used by input from a Stylus pen or by directly your fingers instead of the keyboard, mouse. It is a portable computer and user can use it anywhere. Tablet Computer are the new generation of PCs:

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embedded Computers
Embedded computers can be compared to "computers on a
chip".
All in one so to speak. You will find them in all kind of
apparels that surround us.
Washing machines, ticket machines at the subway, camera's,
cars, motors, sewing machines, clocks.
Everywhere needing something to regulate, control of check
something.
Historically, embedded computing is associated with self
contained preprogrammed computing.
Meaning there are mostly no connections outside the
environment where that particular type of computing takes
(physically) place and influences the working of that
embedded computing device.

Cloud Computers
Cloud computing is the delivery of on-demand computing
services -- from applications to storage and processing power
-- typically over the internet and on a pay-as-you-go basis.
• Rather than owning their own computing infrastructure or data
centers, companies can rent access to anything from
applications to storage from a cloud service provider.
• One benefit of using cloud computing services is that firms can
avoid the upfront cost and complexity of owning and
maintaining their own IT infrastructure, and instead simply pay
for what they use, when they use it.
