Word processing involves using computers to prepare documents. Early mechanical word processors included the typewriter. The first use of the term "word processing" was by IBM in the late 1960s to describe their Magnetic Selectric typewriter and other electronic devices. Popular early PC word processors included WordPerfect 5.1 and early versions of Microsoft Word for DOS. Word 2007 and 2010 introduced new interfaces like the ribbon and backstage view and default file extensions changed from .doc to .docx. Alternatives to purchased software include free open-source options and cloud-based offerings from Google Docs and Microsoft SkyDrive.

CHAPTER 4Pre-Test
Introduction
The office of the 1970s was a noisy place. The clickety-clack sounds made by the fingers of frenetic typists emanated from bulky electric typewriters and calculators with paper tape. Telephones rang loudly and constantly. Metal filing cabinets were
continuously opening and closing. The photocopy machine was in constant operation.
A vast army of secretaries, skilled in the use of cumbersome office equipment, served as
the communications heart of most organizations. Once upon a time, many thousands of
students went to school to learn how to use these machines because they planned for this
to be their primary vocation. Skilled typists could earn up to a few dollars per hour in
the 1960s or 1970s. They would work for someone they called their “boss,” who would
handwrite notes or dictate thoughts into a tape recorder. The typist would simply type the
words, hand over the paper, and go on to the next typing job.
Today’s office is different. Although typing skills have continued to be a vital skill in data
entry, the profession of the skilled secretarial typist is essentially extinct. What killed it?
The computer and the word processor.

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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.
6. The concept of a typewriter dates back at least to 1714, when Englishman Henry Mill filed a vaguely-worded patent for "an artificial machine or method for the impressing or transcribing of letters singly or progressively one after another.“
7.
8. The name "QWERTY" for our typewriter keyboard comes from the first six letters in the top alphabet row (the one just below the numbers). It is also called the "Universal" keyboard for rather obvious reasons. It was the work of inventor C. L. Sholes, who put together the prototypes of the first commercial typewriter in a Milwaukee machine shop back in the 1860's.
9. The keyboard arrangement was considered important enough to be included on Sholes' patent granted in 1878 (see drawing), some years after the machine was into production.

12. The term word processing was invented by IBM in the late 1960s. By 1971 it was recognized by the New York Times as a "buzz word". A 1971 Times article referred to "the brave new world of Word Processing or W/P. That's International Business Machines talk... I.B.M. introduced W/P about five years ago for its Magnetic Selectric typewriter and other electronic razzle-dazzle.“
15. The machine still looked like a computer, that’s for sure. But who cared? It was silent. It magically knew when to start a new line – no mental arithmetic and wrenching of a lever to tell the paper to move up. It didn’t matter how many mistakes you made – you simply typed over them. Tippex became redundant. If Mr Harris wanted to make multiple changes to a 60-page document, it was a simple operation, no need to retype the whole thing. There were keys that instantly found the word you were looking for; went to a particular page number, replaced multiple instances of words.

25. In most of the Microsoft Office 2010 programs the Office Button (which was only introduced in Office 2007), has been replaced with a File menu. This is not the same as the File menu in Office 2003. This new File Menu leads in to the Microsoft Office Backstage™ view which not only shows the popular functions of Open, Save, Save As, Print etc… but also the recently view files section has been enhanced to include a recent locations too.

29. "Cloud Computing" is a somewhat nebulous word to describe users "renting" or borrowing online software instead of actually purchasing and installing it on their own computers.
30. All of the processing work and file saving will be done "in the cloud" of the Internet, and the users will plug into that cloud every day to do their computer work.
