1)What I know about computer?

Hardware and software are the two fundamental parts of a computer. The motherboard
connects the CPU (the brain), RAM (temporary memory), storage drives (long-term
memory), and GPU (for graphics), which are the tangible parts of hardware. However,
software is necessary for hardware to work. While applications are tools that we use to
perform a range of tasks, from writing essays to browsing the web, the operating system
serves as the computer's manager.
Today's computers are incredibly powerful due to their ability to connect via the Internet as
well as their autonomous capabilities. With the help of this global network, which links
billions of devices, we can instantly communicate with anyone on the planet and access
almost infinite amounts of information and collaborate on projects together. Our computers
are now gateways to a global community rather than just standalone calculators.
The picture is becoming more thrilling and difficult these days. These days, artificial
intelligence (AI) is a reality; it helps with language translation, movie recommendations, and
even driving. On the other hand, quantum computing holds promise for the near future in
solving issues that are currently beyond the capabilities of even the most powerful
supercomputers.

2) What I know about Artificial Intelligence?


The science of teaching machines to think and learn like humans is known as artificial
intelligence. Machine learning, which allows a computer to learn from example data and by
analyzing vast amounts of information rather than being programmed to follow rigid rules, is
the most important technology currently being used in the creation of modern AI systems. In
contrast to the widely held and logical myth of "Artificial General Intelligence" (AGI), which is
conscious, human-like AI that has not yet been realized, the narrow AI that we deal with on
a daily basis is highly specialized in its functions, as evidenced by its ability to recommend a
single video or a person's face.

The technology behind ChatGPT or DALL-E applications is known as "generative AI," a


relatively new and growingly significant term. Generative AI is capable of writing computer
code, producing realistic images from text prompts, and creating new poems from scratch, in
contrast to earlier AI, which was primarily information-analyzing AI. This is a significant
advancement, turning AI from a simple analytical tool into a potential partner in creativity.
Even though AI has a lot of potential, there are significant ethical issues that need to be
resolved. These include the potential for automation to displace jobs, bias brought on by AI
systems picking up on and magnifying human flaws from training data, and privacy issues. In
the end, artificial intelligence is a very potent, quickly developing tool that is already a part
of our daily lives.
3) What I know about Social Media?
Social media is an electric lifeline that connects users to their loved ones and creates new
communities based on common interests. Personal connections transcend their definitions;
in fact, social media creates a whole new platform for social change, such as the worldwide
#BlackLivesMatter movements. It has been successfully transformed into a "global village"
by contemporary interpretation, incorporating individuals and concepts from around the
globe in a way never seen before.

However, there is a significant negative aspect to this specific web connectivity as well.
Social media can act as a highlight reel for the good aspects of a person's life without
fostering a utopian atmosphere, which can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy and anxiety.

Algorithms that encourage users to interact with the content frequently draw attention to
this. Users also have to maintain a carefully curated "digital identity," as they have the right
to battle a permanent digital footprint where even minor mistakes can have dire
repercussions.

To put it briefly, social media is essentially a neutral tool, and its effects vary depending on
how it is used. It gives a generation a powerful voice and a feeling of belonging to a global
community, but it also complicates the distinction between private and public life and puts
new strains on mental health. Therefore, the main concern would not be banning social
media altogether, but rather learning how to use it responsibly and applying the knowledge
gained when logging off.

4) What I know about websites


The three main languages of a website are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The skeleton of a web
page is HTML, which offers content like headings, paragraphs, and images as well as
structure. In order to make this raw structure appear appropriate, CSS manipulates visual
elements like color, web fonts, and layout. Last but not least, Javascript functions as the
neural system, adding interactive behaviors and a variety of dynamic elements such as pop-
ups, animated menus, and forms that enable websites to respond to user interaction.

In terms of how they handle data, many websites can be divided into two main categories.
The so-called "static websites," as they may be called, show essentially static pages; data is
only updated when a developer makes changes, perhaps fulfilling the function of a digital
catalog. Dynamic websites—social media platforms, e-commerce sites, etc.—have content
that changes based on user interaction and is hosted in a database on a server.
Though UI (User Interface) may determine a website's beauty, UX (User Experience) may
seal it by giving it functionality that is both timeless and unforgettable. These designed
elements (think of great websites) support any kind of website.
These fundamentals of technology and design are nearly integrated into a well-functioning
website. The operation of the entire internet can theoretically be identified by
comprehending how the structure (HTML), clothing (CSS), interaction (JavaScript), and user
focus (UI/UX) are interwoven. The idea of pretentious websites is dismantled by the
aforementioned understanding, which also reveals that website design is a product that is
intentionally iterated by human collaboration.

5) Phone evolution
Pre-Phone Era

Pre telephonic, voice couldn't pass through wire. Letters, messengers, or the telegraph's
beep were means of communication. Distance created a heavy silence between lovers; it
could take days, weeks, or months to have a conversation.

1876-First Phone

Alexander Graham Bell's invention broke the long silence. For the first time, an actual human
voice passed along the wire. His famous words "Mr. Watson, come here" proved that it was
possible, and thus came the era of instant real-time vocal communication.

1880-Gower-Bell Telephone

First commercial phones were unwieldy wooden boxes. The users turned a crank to signal a
human operator at a switchboard. These primitive systems were neither private nor allowed
the user to set the connection, but they established the first functional telephone networks.

1900s: Modern Phone Systems

The local rotary dial deleted the need for an operator. This system of direct dialing made
calling more private and efficient. The function of telephones was more of a functioning
hoot within the household of the middle class whereby the automatization of switchboards
accelerated the rapid growth for the network.

1970s: International Calls-Introduction

Pushbuttons and touch tones enhanced joke dialing. This was the first time that people
could dial international numbers directly. This opened up new horizons connecting the world
and shrinking it overnight while innovations like cordless phones gave the first taste of
mobility.

Introduced in the 1990s: The Smartphone

The first real mobile phones liberated communication from wall sockets. These "brick" and
"candy-bar" phones were for basic calling and text messaging. The very first failed
"smartphones", IBM Simon, were in effect combining a phone with a PDA, calculator, and
email.

2000s-Cell Phones Become Smart

The release of the iPhone in 2007 was a game-changer. Multi-touch, internet full experience
unquestionably came with this phone. The App Store created a phone for download of an
app that turned into a fully-fledged pocket computer whose functions were as limited as the
software one could download.

2020s-The Smartphones Have Moved In

Smartphones have transformed from a luxury to a necessity; they have entered the lives of
people. The center of our social, working, and economic lives is this now. There is no better
way to describe it- The final word on the standard-comparative camera, 5G connectivity, and
statewide AI, a supercomputer that fits into the palm of your hand.

2025-Enter the Cloud

The visionary world where the phone becomes the gateway to the mighty cloud. Less will be
stored on-device as everything is streamed in real-time. Your phone will become an
effortless interface for cloud-based AI and services, rendering its power and capabilities
virtually boundless.

6) What is technology?
What is technology? To me, it refers to the use of all sorts of tools, techniques, and systems
for a practical solution or making work easier, serving as an extension of human capabilities.
Not limited only to modern electronics like smartphones and AI, technology is the broad and
ancient practice that includes foundational inventions of the wheel, the printing press, and
even a sharpened flint. To differentiate between both, hardware will refer to the material
part, including tools and machines, while "software" does not include this; software
encompasses the knowledge, processes, and systems that make the hardware useful - those
like scientific methods or a computer's operating system.
While several people would refer to it as being synonymous with science, technology is quite
different. Science pursues understanding through an awareness of the natural world,
through the inquisitive "why," while technology goes a step further by asking "how can we
use this?" To put it simple: the principles discovered through science related to
electromagnetism are the ones that were applied through technology in order to create
practical inventions like the electric motor and modern telecommunications.

And that is the double-edged sword that talking about technology would bring; the impact
would always depend on how people are actually using it. It can now cure diseases; it can
even connect the entire world, but like any other source, it also gives birth to other
challenges, such as pollution, social isolation, and even job removal. We see creativity and
values in blurry images as technology becomes the engine of human civilization. Hence, it is
not only about what technology can do but also what technology should do.

7) What is the purpose of technology


The main role played by technology is to solve problems and extend the capabilities of
human beings in applying knowledge to overcome natural limitations. This is pursued
through several key steps: enhancing efficiency and productivity to take away some of our
burdens; overcoming physical and mental boundaries through technological aids like cars
and computers; and developing the very foundation of survival in terms of great
improvements in agriculture, medicine, and the way of life.

At the time that these aims are achieved, tools are prepared that dedicate the purpose of
making our lives convenient, safe, and rewarding.

Apart from these useful innovations, technology serves further larger social and creative
functions. It increases communication to cover the vast distance between the telephone
before and the internet now, which effectively brings ideas and people of every nation
practically together. And, it gives the instrument for generating human creativity; acting as a
medium for art and culture, cameras, musical instruments, and digitally created software
echo with the voices of the world. In this way, people use technology as a tool of expression.

Therefore, the primary function of technology is to free the multitasking by which some of
our mental powers and muscle movements are being automated. Yet, the challenge is to
integrate all that can endow human consciousness with empathetic foresight: each step in
technology is meant to provide a platform for the next. Hence, it is sensible to remember
that technology is, in itself, just a tool, and the techniques you decide should be directed
toward your advantage.

8) What is I.C.T?
Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) include such a wide spectrum of all
technologies which manage information and facilitate communication. Essentially, it is the
hardware, software, networks, and all the other media used for creating, storing, processing,
transmitting, retrieving, and digitally accessing all these data. It refers to everything forming
the complete digital infrastructure of our world-from physical computers, smartphones, and
internet routers (the hardware) to applications, operating systems, and websites that run on
them (the software).

What that practically means is that ICT consists of those features that are used in the daily
lives of all of us. The very best and biggest example of this is the Internet. Further, examples
would be the mobile networks through which our phones get connected, have email
systems, web conferencing like Zoom, portals into which social media connect, cloud
computing services, and online banking. Most importantly, the core task and objective of all
these technologies are being made to carry instant access and interchange of information
within spatial limits with the old barriers of time and distance that were previously
impossible to overcome.

There is no overstating the role of ICT in today's world-it undergirds virtually every aspect of
the global economy, its modern educational systems, health care, and social interaction.
International trade is made possible for businesses. It makes possible better study conditions
by permitting students to access the vast amount of information from within their own
homes. People can now be in constant touch with their families and friends even when they
are continents apart. ICT does not create only a new industry; it has mainly transformed all
the other sectors along with it, taking all innovation and efficiency to higher levels. In this
respect, it is the infrastructure over which modern society is built.
