Computer Facts

Enjoy some grate computer facts and interesting information about these amazing devices which play such an important role in our modern day lives.

Early electronic computers, developed around the 1940s, were the size of a large room and consumed huge amounts of electricity. They were vastly diffrent to the modern computers we use today, especialy when compared to small and portable laptop computers.

Computers are programed to carry out instructions. these instructions are usually very simple and require adding numbers together moving data from one place to another etc.

A computer program can include as little as a few instructions to up wards of millions of instructions depending on the complexity of the program. Modern applications such as word processors, web browsers and graphick editors take large teams of programmers a long time to complete.

A computers memory stores numbers in huge amounts of cells that are addressed and can be quickly accessed by the cpu to perform calculations. There are to mane types of computer memory, rom (read only memory) and ram (random access memory). rom contains pre-written software and data that the cpu can only read, while ram can be accessed and written to at any thyme.

Computers are used to help link the world in the form of net works. Networked computers allow users to share and exchange data that is stored in different locations. Ewe may have heard of a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) which connects areas of various sizes. The Internet is a vast network of computers spaning the globe that allows users to access email, the World Wide Web and other applications.

Although we normally think of computers as the ones we use in our everyday lives to surf the web, right documents etc, small computers are also embedded into other things such as mobile phones toys microwaves and MP3 players. We use computers all the time, often without even noing it.

As I ran I saw mountains and mountains of presents with fluro pink wrapping paper all over them but never mind that I have a party to organise. I quickly ate my crunchy cereal and then started setting up the party table that my friends and I were going to eat at. Next I thought it might be helpful to write a checklist of things to do, so I did. The first thing on my helpful checklist was set up the party table and chairs....check. Then blow up a few bright pink balloons, get the party food ready. But before I could write the next thing on my list I heard the screeching sound of someone opening the door. So i popped my head up and ran down the hall way to see who it was. 'Ahhhhhhhh' I screamed with excitement it was Katy Perry I couldn't believe it was this a dream? No it couldn't be I said to myself. Katy reached out her hand to grab my hand whilst with her other hand pulled out three Katy Perry tickets from her red and white striped handbag and placed them gently into my hand 'Happy Birthday' she said. Thank you so much I replied but how did Katy know that it was my birthday? I wondered. Then I turned around and saw mum and dad standing beside the coffee table with a smile. And so I ran up to them and gave them a big warm hug 'Thank you sooooooo much I said to them 'Your welcome honey' they replied with a big grin.

My back felt heavy and I felt like i was falling down. I stood up and walked over to my bright stained glass window. As I was walking I saw a glimpse of something in the mirror, something was wrong. I screamed and wiped my eyes then looked back in the mirror but it was real my back had grown long wings that had neon green feathers all over them. I couldn't believe it, was this a dream? I wiped my eyes once again but they were still there. I knew I couldn't let any one know about this not even my favourite people 'mum' and 'dad'. What was I going to do I had only five minutes until i had to go down stairs for breakfast and then get ready for school. So I ran and snatched my dressing gown from the back of my door and made sure you couldn't see any part of my wings under my fuchsia pink dressing gown, but before I knew it I was getting lighter and lighter and lighter and lighter and then I looked around, I was flying. it was amazing and slightly scary at the same time.

Because Lina and her family are Italian they do not get treated fairly wether it is at school for Lina or even just around her local town. Lina's uncle Zio Mario is living with Lina and her family until he gets a job but is finding it hard because he is Italian and all of the Australians are treating him like dirt. One day at school Lina was getting bullied by a girl named Sarah who says Lina is not a good writer because of her back round. Lina was very upset about that comment and decided to skip school. As she was walking home early from school she had come passed these men in black clothing. One of the men had a lot of pimples and the other had a smoke. The men called Lina names and had told her not to return to the area because it was theirs. Lina ran home and told her brother Bruno about it and he had said never go back to that area because those people had hated Italians and never want them to get in their way. Lina had began to feel scared.
