Final draft

The development of the modern day computer was the result of advances in technologies and man's need to quantify information. The word computer referred once to a person who used to do calculations and computations in his head. During the 20th century, that particular word was referred to a developed machine, which carried out all sorts of computations. It began from a "castle clock" invented by Al Jazari (http://www.muslimheritage.com/topics/default.cfm?ArticleID=899) to a "textile loom" invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard (http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/jacquard.htm). Throughout time the idea was taken to a high sort of level. Wilhelm Schickard's 1623 device was the first of a number of mechanical calculators constructed by European engineers, but none fit the modern definition of a computer, because they could not be programmed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/computer). Also the American scientist Vannevar Bush built a mechanically operated device, called a differential analyzer, in 1930; it was the first general-purpose analog computer http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/sci/A0857507.html. Until it reached to this improved device you see in most households and work places. Computers arose in the 1970s. They are the widest spread technology in the world. Computers have become indispensable in today’s world. Millions of people use computers all over the world.Computers have been a great help, especially in work places. For example, before employees used to handle a lot of paper work some papers get lost and some ruined, and even some get stolen. Computers have changed that, now all an employee has to do is type in data into a certain system where it can be saved. This way it cannot be tampered with and it would be very easy to find. It saves the employees and the computers so much time. Moreover, internet accomplished a lot of jobs where you browse through more information than you can do in libraries in which computers can store enormous amount of information. Although the internet has enabled a lot of people to study other people's culture and traditions in several ways; one major way is the chatting software which enables one to chat with an other person in a fast way; emails also help you to communicate with a person sitting thousands of miles away from your home and are used nowadays in paying bills and sending forums.
Computers have developed and changed a lot of things in business. For example, computer software is used in shops and supermarkets for calculating bills, loans and bills can be paid, trades also can be done online. It has been so very important that even companies pay a lot of money to make their workers take a course in ICDL, which is the study of how to use a computer, as do most of the universities. Even old people I know take that test, because they are curious. They want to know how it works and what it does, which I find very exhilarating! The computer has organized simple procedures. Computers have taken the human society into a higher league. It is used in each and every aspect of human life. Nowadays it is difficult to imagine a home without a computer or internet. Computers are cheap, easy, fast, and accurate. They have improved our lifestyle and until this day they are working on extending their features for a better future.

Porsche 911 Turbo VS Bugatti

LSEC N100Research skills 3 – Report and MLA referencing (10%)

These days several rich high classed people enjoy having sports cars such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, and Bugatti. There are a lot of differences between each car mentioned. Some differences are in quality, performance, shape and design and also the price itself. Similarities and differences between Bugatti and Porsche will be discussed in this essay.

Some couple similarities between the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 Turbo. The first similarity is that both of them are sport cars. Secondly, both of them are rich people firsts desire and choice for their high quality. Lastly, both cars have 2 seats and a back engine which was built by a European country.

On the other hand there are some differences. Firstly, the Bugatti can reach from 0 - 60 in 2.5 seconds while the Porsche 911 turbo can reach it in 3.6 seconds (http://Autoblog.com/category/porsche). Secondly, the Bugatti is way more expensive than the Porsche which costs around 1.6 million dollars while the Porsche costs 143,800 dollars (http://www.porsche.com/international/models/911/911-turbo/). The third difference is that the torque of the Bugatti is 952 pound feet (http://Bugatti-configurator.com) and the Porsche torque is 457 pound feet.

We Conclude that the Bugatti is more powerful than the Porsche 911 as well as in the design it is superior, but in my own opinion I see that the Bugatti is the dream car for all sports car fans but the problem is that its manufacture is limited and it's highly expensive while in the other hand the Porsche has excellent features and performance and its price could be affordable and could be bought easily which make it more widely spread than the Bugatti.

Reading Summary Assessment

Summary

China has the highest rate of women committing suicide where 1.5 million women attempt suicide and 150,000 succeed. In rural areas the suicide rate is 300% more than cities. Traditional attitudes in marriage is a huge problem which still prevails, where it is arranged in which the groom's parents buy the bride like a business deal. The wife will have emotional problems dealing with the family of the groom. If the wife finds respect from the family of the husband she'll be all right. Most women see that there is no way out of an unhappy marriage. Attempting suicide by women is a way of asking for better treatment from their husbands. In China traditional attirudes are hard to change. Social security is weak in rural areas where sons are preferred to daughters. Daughters must move to their husbands family home when married. Mixing this with strict birth control policies results in many female foetuses being aborted. Women will face a terrible future in 20 years where prostitution and sexual voilence will be increased. Providing women with Xu Rong's organisation of attempting to prevent suicide will support groups where they can discuss their feeling. Schools in rural areas teach young women the skills to build lives for themselves. Young women working far from their homes gain a lot of confidence.


Main Idea

The article is drawing the attention to suicide attempts by Chinease women. There are suicidal women in rural areas beacause of bad marriage arrangments.


Comment

In my opinion I think the goverment should provide jobs for the young women in order to prevent committing suicide. I want to know more about men committing suicide.
