8. Juan Roldos Maria Isabel Neuman Intro To Computer
1 The first computer - In 1822, Charles Babbage purposed and
began developing the Difference Engine, considered to be the
first automatic computing engine. I personally feel this was the
biggest turning point in the history of computers. You see, had
this not occurred, who really knows where we’d be right now,
as far as the advancements in computers go. It is for this very
reason that i chose this as my first turning point, as it’s the
most important of them all. The history of computers goes a
long way, so i’ll be listing those that stand out the most, to me
at least. (Computer Hope, 2017)
The internet - it connects us to the the web, and many things at
that. Without it, our computers would be close to useless. We’d
be unable to access facebook, emails, youtube, etc. I think the
internet is really important to the history of computers. Sure,
there is more to it, like the fact that you’d need a computer to
use the internet in the first place, so all in all, they help each
other out, and are useless without the other. (Computer
History Museum, 2017)

25. Uses capital letters and lowercase letters correctly. Capital letters give the impression that you were
screaming. Needless to say, writing whole lines and paragraphs in capital letters is bad education.
Use symbols to emphasize. *This is what I mean**. Use underscores to underline (_Guerra and paz_ is my
favorite book).
Do not go using smileys. Do not think that a smiley will make the recipient happy to see it or that he will
ignore an impertinent remark.
Be brief without being too concise.

26. Do not ask for automatic confirmation of the
messages you send. It is bad education because it
means putting the receiver of your message in the
choice to choose between thinking that you did not
receive it and sending you personal information that
does not have to share with you.
Do not send bulk mails and above all do not forward
them.
If you need to send an email to a list of people place
your address in the hidden copy field (CCO) and put
your own address in the "to". Many people may want
you to have their email but not all of your contacts
Never send chain messages. Virus alarms and
message chains are by definition false and their only
purpose is to saturate the servers and with them the
network. In the old days your privileges in the
network would have been canceled.
Say hello before the message and say goodbye with your
name exactly as you would with a physical letter. Add a
line or two at the end of your message with contact
information.
Be careful when you write the email address. There are
directions that come to a group but the address seems to
go only to one person. Look who you're sending it to.
Look at the CC's when you answer. If the first person who
sent the spam message to your mailing list ... do not do
the same thing.
Remember that the people you communicate with,
including the webmasters of the pages you visit, do not
charge to respond or have an obligation to do so. They
are people who if they attend you will be doing you a
favor. See who you contact for help. Normally you will
have the answer at your fingertips without having to ask.
