The founders of Atari, Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney released the first video arcade game, “Computer Space” in 1970. Within next ten years companies such as Atari, Magnavox, and Coleco released home video game console systems. In 1980, the first 3-dimensional game ever, was released. It was called “Battle Zone.” “Battle Zone” ended up being used by the US government for military training. Four years later, the Nintendo Entertainment System was released, marking the start of the modern gaming era.
INTEGRATED CIRCUIT TECHNOLOGY (1961-PRESENT) An integrated circuit which is also known as (microchip, chip, IC) placed transistors, capacitors, resistors, and wiring circuitry, which was separated previously, onto the semiconductor material of a single chip (Germanium or Silicon). The cost of making electronics was greatly reduced due to the integrated circuit, which impacted the designs of all future computers and other electronics. AMD and Intel, two major microprocessor companies, dominate computers of today. The latest available offerings from Intel as an example contains transistors into the billions and compare this to the 1971 Intel 4004 chip, it contained 2,300 transistors. The Pentium chip which is the most common 1993 chip from Intel contained 3,100,000 transistors.
Lab 1/Homework 1 – Written Exercise from OS Concepts – IT109 Microsoft Desktop Operating System ------------------------------------------------- Instructor: Mike Conroy Student Name: ____________________________________ Date: _____________ Lab 1.1: Operating System Functions and Memory Management What is the purpose? The purpose of this lab is to help you identify the major purposes and functions of a typical operating system and explain how an operating system functions as a platform for constructing and running application programs and how it manages the various types of memory in a computer. What are the steps? • Task 1: Understand operating system functions. Procedure 1.
Lab 1 This lab exercise covers: * an introduction to C programming * arithmetic statements * Standard input output * Mathematical functions Exercise 1.1 Write a program that prints the string “Computing Systems & Programming” to the screen, reads an integer from the keyboard, and print the integer to the screen. Exercise 1.2 Write the following program. Compile, link and run it. #include<stdio.h> int main () { int year; float height; year = 21; height = 1.77; printf("Ali is %d years old and %f meter height\n", year, height); return 0; } Exercise 1.3 Write a program that demonstrates the use of the +,-,* and / operators for integers. Type the following program.

Extreme programming (XP) Definition Extreme programming (XP) is a software development methodology which is intended to improve software quality and responsiveness to changing customer requirements. History Extreme Programming was created by Kent Beck during his work on the Chrysler Comprehensive Compensation System (C3) payroll project. Beck became the C3 project leader in March 1996 and began to refine the development methodology used in the project and wrote a book on the methodology (in October 1999, Extreme Programming Explained was published. Chrysler cancelled the C3 project in February 2000, after seven years, when the company was acquired by Daimler-Benz. Many of extreme programming practices have been around for some time; the methodology
I myself even saw it as a slab of stone with writing on it, but when I looked deeper into it, I grew a great interest in it. It’s probably a common viewpoint in something like the Rosetta Stone. First thing that comes to mind is the program called “Rosetta Stone” when someone talks about a piece of art that is called “The Rosetta Stone”. Rosetta Stone is a computer program used to learn how to speak a new language. It makes sense on why this computer program received a name like this.
He says he made some investigations, he started by searching what was the meaning of the term “technology” and he found out that the first time the word was used in a State of the Union address was in 1952, which is surprising because it has existed for a really long time but we weren't aware of it. Kelly found that the first use of the word, in 1829, was actually to describe a curriculum that brought together arts, crafts, and industry. We normally have the idea that technology is all the new stuff even when we know that it's just not new and it actually goes an extended way back. Kelly exposes that a way to think about the mean of technology is to imagine a world without it. If it did not exist, we would have a very short life because we would be defenseless, we would be unable to grow enough food or find it, besides the fact that there would be a high lack of knowledge.
McGregor’s Theory X and Y Sumitra Kendall CJ503 Organizational Behavior Professor Sherri Homer October 5, 2013 Douglas McGregor was a psychologist first and decided in his career to teach at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) where he was a professor of management. His experience there led him to create the “McGregor theory X and Y” its goal was to represent his assumptions and views on human behavior and nature and that they are relevant to management. Originally, theory x and y was introduced in the novel he wrote entitled “The human side of enterprise” (1960). As a result, it became a massive influence on the management profession and still does to this date. McGregor’s ideas suggest that there should be two approaches towards the management of people and that there are two different fundamental properties, which highlight a person’s behavior in a working environment and organizational life.
