Computers in these days are very important to us, and they help us in many things in the life and show us how to improve our study. In college the most important thing which we take with us is the computer , so we use it to study in all programs. Studying without the computer will be hard. Also the computer develops outside of college. In this report I will describe the computer technology. Now I will start with the history. The computer was made in 1937 and it was very big. I was in a building with a weight of one hundred tons. After that they made it smaller until it could fit in a room. Also they used it to save the information. Today it is used for everything and every student must have a computer to feel comfortable with his study. Computer technology today is very good, as you see many new computer programs to make us understand more. So the Microsoft company helps us to have a nice and easy way to study. You may know the meaning of computer if the world works with computers, so in everything the computer system has come in, as you see in phones, cars and many things. This kind of technology has led us to improvements, in safety and efficiency. That means it improves our study and makes us better in our level. New computers have a crystal screen so your eyes are not tired and you can work on it more hours. This kind of technology will help us in future because it will have more new things like programs and new computers will be smaller than now and will use more technology. Don’t forget that the computer is one part of our life, and we can’t have an easy life without it.

The computer industry is not the largest industry—yet—but it will be number one by the turn of the century. The computer industry is already the most important industry.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer) Computer technological prowess is now considered a most important resource (if not the most important) by many companies and by many countries. Most industrial countries, including the U.S., Japan, Brazil, and several European nations, are funding specific programs and using incentives to catch up or get ahead in computer technology. The improvement in computer technology has been amazing in the last 35 years. In this area, the performance of the fastest computers has increased nearly a million times. At the same time, the price of computers has decreased by a factor of 1000. And, there is no end in sight. The performance and price of computers will continue to improve at very high speed. The improvement in this field has no end in sight. Modern technology has offered new devices like printers, scanners and mice that are highly equipped with lasers to input and output data more easily than before. Improvements in microprocessors and memory chips rapidly happened over the last few years especially in mass storage and printers. Computer technology has led to a great revolution and speed in all fields and aspects of life. For example, at the business level the computer technology has led to a great revolution and speed in all areas. E-commerce has brought a big difference in the business system. Now we don't need to send any currency. The buying and selling has been made through the adjustments in the bank accounts, through credit cards and debit cards. In education, colleges will go through many of the same changes as homes. Computers will allow teachers to do so much more for their classes.(http://www.cbtplanet.com) Instead of simply lecturing on a topic, a teacher can download material off the internet, and then show that to students. Students will then be able to ask questions to renowned scholars and persons through online communication programs. Teachers will have access to incredible amounts of information to provide to their students. Teachers will begin to fill different roles as technology enters the classroom. A few days go I was watching the news, when they showed us modern eye glasses that can translate texts into many different languages in a few seconds(www.aljazeera.net) . This new technical eye glass is just a step towards the communication system, I expect within a few years people will be able to comminute without interpreters. This means that the translation is going to happen at the same moment . According to my expectation and the improvement which happened to computers, I think that a new mini computer is going to be fixed inside our ears which receives sound vibrations and translates them to the targeted languages. Also the technology will be more modern and will come easier with different ways to study so it helps us to improve our subject and any kind of study.

LSEC N100 Research Skill 3
Comparing the Bugatti Veyron and Porsche

There are many favorite cars in the world. The most luxurious and wonderful car is the Porsche. However, there are powerful vehicles. The best is the Bugatti Veyron. Now I will compare these two cars and I will show the similarities and the differences.

There are differences and similarities and now I will start with the similarities. The first similarity is that the both are sport cars. The second similarity is that both are coupes. For example: they have only two doors. The final similarity is that the both the cars have engines at the back. There are many cars with engines at the front of the car and the others in the back. But in these cars the engine is at the back.

Now I will begin with the differences. The main difference is that the Porsche 911 turbo is expensive. However, the Bugatti Veyron is more expensiveFor example: the Porsche 911 turbo costs $137,360 but (Renolds, p.158), the Bugatti Veyron cost $ 1.6 million.( Schwartzapfel, p82) .Another difference is that the Porsche 911 turbo top speed is 192 mph (Renolds, p.158), but, the Bugatti Veyron top speed is 253 mph. That means the Bugatti Veyron (Schwartzapfel, p82) is faster than the Porsche911 turbo(Renolds, p.158),. The final difference is the weight of these two cars and it shows that the Bugatti Veyron is heavier than the Porsche 911 turbo. For example: the weight of the Bugatti Veyron is 5000 lb (Schwartzapfel, p82) However, the Porsche 911 turbo is 3650 lb. (Renolds, p.158).

In conclusion, despite the differences or the similarities between the two cars, they are considered two of the most desirable, luxurious, and classy cars in the whole world. I think the Bugatti Veyron is better than the Porsche 911 turbo because the Bugatti Veyron is more elegant and good.
