Computer technologies are the advanced features and improvements which are done on the computer components (the devices that build the computer). We know what the computer is build from, the box (the computer cover, where all the parts that build the computer goes into), the motherboard, where all of the components connect to, and binds all of those hardware devices to work together. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) which gets more efficient, quicker, and it even multiply itself on the same chip so you get better performance and multitasking.
We have another computer technology that has advanced and enabled us to run more complicated applications that need much resources, that technology is RAM (Random Access Memory), it has become quicker, and it’s capacity has grown enormously during the last 20 years. The larger capacity enables us to run more complicated application, professional graphic design programs which load complicated graphic designs into the memory, instead of using assistance by hard-disk storage. The RAM is much quicker for compilations and it enables to load larger capacities into the fast RAM to boost performance of complicated application.
The hard-disks now contain larger amount of files. The capacities of hard-disks have increased much and gave us instead of 8MB or 20MB of hard-disks, 1TB (1000GB) hard-disks, which now can contain high definition movies, place to install our computer games, work on large and complicated graphic applications, edit, design and create movies. Tasks that we could only do on very expensive huge computers, now we can do it on our home computers.
The computer cooling systems (since computers tend to get heated) have improved, from simple fans that blew the hot air out of the box through venting holes, to sophisticated water cooling systems.
We got used to being able to use our equipment’s without wires, as we call it “wireless“. The technology of wireless enabled us to connect our laptops to wireless networks, without wires. We have equipment’s that work on wireless, as you use your keyboard and mouse while you sit away from the computer, sitting comfortably wherever you want to, and still be able to do your work.
We also have the bluetooth technology, which for security purposes was limited to 10m radius and still enable us to use different equipment, like our cell phones, synchronizing to our blue-tooth laptop, without plugging anything in, or using any wires. The communication with close friends, co-workers and close proximity devices has been made easy 🙂
