Smartphones, an equivalent to a desktop

Smartphones!

What?

Smartphones!

What are smartphones? Are these smartphones really smart? Can they help do my assignments.
I guess they are and they can.

Smartphones are "selling like hot cakes" that people love and adore carrying them around. It's like..................................smartphone = handphone + desktop.

You can use smartphone to send emails and chat on an IM (instant messaging) - "so called yahoo messenger mobile or window live messenger mobile".

Smartphones can also be used to input text-based or numerical-based data on any office application, like Microsoft Word or Excel. You can use these savvy devices to send text messages, receive/make calls and even access the Internet.


Folks, you do not need a laptop/desktop do your assignment or sign in on facebook or any messenger. SMARTPHONES are an ALTERNATIVE :> ;> :>

But, some people (like my father) like things on a computer to appear big, so he/people like him still prefer desktop/laptop. Examples of typical smartphones are the HTC smartphones, Apple's iPhone, RIM Blackberry, CSL's Blueberry, Motorola Cliq 2, Samsung Nexus S and lastly Android smartphones.

History of Computers

Computer is a very interesting word. Computer has helped us throughout our lives. It has helped us print our saved documents, helped us browse other people's networks (Internet), helped us chat with friends from different networks, helped us reconnect with old friends and relatives via social networking (facebook), helped us send and receive emails and many more.

But, who here can remember the history of handphones, smartphones, laptops, desktops, macbooks and other items of computers? How did everything start? Who created them? Why are we so dependent on computers and why can't we live without computers like the olden era?

The computer did not come from one single, genius person. It came from collaboration of many people. Computer first started in 1936 when the first freely programmable computer was invented. The computer was called the "Z1 Computer", invented by Konrad Zuse.

Then, the ABC computer was came about and was invented by John Atanasoft and Clifford Berry in 1942. This computer was not easy as letters "A, B and C might seem to be. After that, a transistor was invented in 1947-1948 by John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley. You must have thought I inserted a wrong info but this transistor then affected the development of computers after that.



ABC Computer



Then, in 1951, the UNIVAC computer was invented. UNIVAC was invented by John Presper Eckert and John Mauchly and helped to pick presidential winners at that time and was the 1st commercial computer available.

After that, in 1953, the IBM 701 EDPM computer was invented. The computer was invented by IBM (International Business Machines) and marked the first time IBM invented a computer.

Furthermore, in 1962, the first computer game was invented- Spacewar Computer Game. The computer was invented by Steve Russell & MIT. Then, in 1964, the mouse computer was invented by Douglas Engelbart and it was called "mouse" because a tail came out from one end.

ARPAnet (advanced research projects agency network) then came about in 1969 and was the first of the internet. After that, in 1971, the Intel 4004 Computer Microprocessor was invented and was the first microprocessor invented. WordStar Software was invented in 1979 by Seymour Rubenstein and Rob Barnaby. WordStar was the first word processor invented. Time went on until the Apple Lisa Computer came about in 1983 and was the first computer with GUI (graphical user interface). In 1984, Apple improved Lisa to Apple Macintosh, which was an affordable home computer with GUI. In 1985, Microsoft Windows came about and had since been competing with Apple in producing good and competitive computers. 





Sony Ericsson's C510

My most common IT item is my C510 handphone, by Sony Ericsson. 

I use my h/p (handphone) to send text messages to friends and loved ones and receive messages from them again.

I also use my h/p to watch videos on a YouTube application; I used to watch "Mr Bean" and "The Nanny". I also write important info that I may forget under an application called "notes".

I also use the app "alarm" to remind me to wake up early in the morning for lectures (especially IT), going to temple and attending important functions.

In addition, I also used an app called "opera mini" to "google" stuff on the internet in case I cannot use the internet at home/university or experience internet problem ( a major problem for me) :<

I can also snap photos whenever I want to and wherever I am. I can also record videos (which I seldom do). In addition, I can also record my lectures for my friends who could not attend the lecture for the day.

If I experience difficult English words, I do not carry a dictionary around. I have an app called "English Mini" which I use to refer to meaning of difficult words. 

However, I am quite sad because I keep dropping it down to the mighty floor and since I am a foolish, clumsy lad, the phone had got scratches around its "skin". Since then, I used a cover to protect it, but since the cover was stained with a blue ink from my "bocor" pen, the handphone looked aghastly ugly.

Enough about my "phony" story ;>

The model of my cell is Sony Ericksson C510. The h/p is a very slim, thin phone with a slide to cover the camera lens - megapixel "3.2"

My cell has an organized and comfortable keypad which I use to type messages or whatever very quickly. The pad for "call" is nearly round and looks very cute :>.

My h/p has a "screen protector" to protect from dust and dirt. The cell also has a small speaker at the rear of the phone so that I can listen to songs and view videos at ease.
