Confused…why I'm writing these stuff…..if so…..that's the name of the assignment forced by our FINANCE MANAGEMENT Teacher ( Mr. K Prasad, Prof. of Finolex Academy, Ratnagiri). so…i thought, it will be benificial to share it with other Campus Readers

So..here we go…

New developments in technology continually change the way people communicate.

Top Innovations

1. Internet : Today, with a couple of clicks, we can go anywhere in the world without leaving our computer. So it should come as little surprise that the Internet (as we know it) headlined the top innovations of the past quarter century, according to a panel of technology leaders assembled by the Lemelson-MIT Program, which promotes inventiveness in teens.

      British software consultant Tim Berners-Lee, created HTML (hypertext markup language) and its rules of usage (HTTP, hypertext transfer protocol) and in 1991 unveiled the World Wide Web, making no money from any of them.

   2. Cell Phones: Today, we don't need to stick with our Old box for talking with our love ones. The Cell Phone Technology has replaced that old Graham's Phone. Now we are free, to talk anywhere from any corner of the world with the help of Cell Phones.

   3. Personal Computers: PCs have changed the way people go about their lives and are so commonplace that they are almost taken for granted. PCs continuing to help us, integrate technology into the everyday fabric of our lives—keeping us connected to the people, activities, and information that are meaningful to us.

 4. QuickCam ( Webcam )
     Webcams can also be considered as an Innovation, as it changes the way of communication on Internet. We can have Video Conferencing from all around the world simultaneously. The idea behind it—to stream pictures and video to the Internet with cheap hardware—is a decent one. We think.

5. CD/DVD / Blu- Ray : These new digital storage media has successfully replaced the old Tape Storage media like Cassetes, floppy etc..

6. GPS : Some will use the commercialized GPS (Global Positioning System, No.  to plan their route instead of Map books.

7. Digital Camera:  Digital cameras differ from their analog predecessors primarily in that they do not use film, but capture and save photographs on digital memory cards or internal storage instead. At the turn of the 21st century their low operating costs relegated chemical cameras to niche markets. With later technology advances, cameras may include wireless communication capabilities (for example Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) to transfer, print or share photos, or may be part of a mobile phone.

8. Bluetooth: Bluetooth – Millions of consumers use Bluetooth wireless technology to talk on their mobile phones hands-free while driving. The technology replaces cables used to connect one electronic device to another; other common uses include connecting printers to computers and speakers to stereos. For instance, Bluetooth can now be used for high-speed Internet access by pairing a PC with a 3G (third-generation) mobile phone.

9. Wi-Fi – Wi-Fi technology is widely used for wireless, high-speed connection to the Internet, enabling anyone with a wireless-enabled computer or laptop to get online from any accessible hot spot.
Today, Wi-Fi technology is used to make numerous wireless devices – from computers to phones to digital cameras – interoperable.

10. Flash Memory: On your disk drive you might store pictures and other information, and the flash memory is a tiny device that can store all that information. It seems, in coming days…. Flash memory shall replace CDs/DVDs.

11. Portable Computers / Laptops :
Many people turn off their PCs and their HDTV or plasma screen TVs and  laptop computers as they leave their homes.

12. Refrigerators: Eliminating the need for the ice box and the milkman. Ice House were buildings used to store ice throughout the year, prior to the invention of the refrigerator.

13. Steamships: The first steamships were deployed on inland waters where sailing ships were less effective, instead of on the higher profit margin seagoing routes. Hence steamships originally only competed in traditional shipping lines' "worst" markets.

14. Computers Printer: Offset printing has a high overhead cost, but very low unit cost compared to computer printers, and superior quality. But as printers, especially laser printers, have improved in speed and quality, they have become increasingly useful for creating documents in limited issues.

15. Light-emitting diodes: A LED is significantly smaller and less power-consuming than a light bulb. The first optical LEDs were weak, and only useful as indicator lights. Later models could be used for indoor lighting, and future ones will probably be strong enough to serve as street lights. Classical light bulbs for lower light indoor use remain, possible mainly because of sentimental and aesthetic value.

16. LCD: The first liquid crystal displays (LCD) were monochromatic and had low resolution. They were used in watches and other handheld devices, but during the early 2000s these (and other planar technologies) largely replaced the dominant cathode ray tube (CRT) technology for computer displays and television sets, although CRT technologies have improved with advances like true-flat panels and digital controls only recently.

17. Electric stove: Gas stoves for household use appeared in the 1880s. Electric stoves, independent of a gas source, came decades later. Though electric stoves became standard in many homes as a substitute the more expensive and bulky gas stoves, many professionals still prefer a steady, powerful gas flame.

18. Calculator: With the advent of semiconductors and the introduction of calculators, slide rules quickly became obsolete.

19. Fiber Optics: A single optical cable can carry the same amount of data as thousands of copper wires. This massively reduced the cost of data transmission which spurred widespread availability of high-speed Internet and lowered the cost of long-distance voice communication.

20. Word processor; Flexible word processors with high-quality printers have superseded typewriters in all but the simplest applications, or where electrical power is not available, and manual equipment is the only practical alternative to pens and pencils.

These all Technical Innovations that happens in last decade…ya i know some of the name are not mention….you can refers Google for them
