**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.

Dere editor,

I am righting in reference to your article:

'Surgon urges worldwide mobile ban' The westerner, 3/1/06

I applaud the good sense of surgeon mr tan for finaly exposing the truth about mobile phones. It has

allways been my belief that anything that is emitting radio waves should not be placed near our body

at all let alone near our branes every day I am dumbfounded to see hordes of people young and old,

with these minute machines atached to their heads Have you not noticed that your ears are red and

warm after lengthy conversations Could it be that the electromagnetic radiation entering your body threw

your ears The statistiks are proving that the incidents of brain cancers in the young and old is rising.

This alone should prevent people from reeching for their mobile phones (especially when a landline

phone is close by and conciderably cheaper).

Not only are mobile phones menases to our health they are financial pitfalls The trend of

young people being given mobile phones as presences from their parents is preposterous Please

explain what a nine year old has to say to his or her friend that is so important it is worth their parent spending a doller per minute on it

I urge all mobile phone usars to consider the repercussions of their next 'quick' mobile call.

In our Church calendar, we are currently in the season of Lent. We have been thinking (and writing) about the Lenten Promises. There are three Lenten Promises:

1. Fasting - where we do without something in response to Jesus' 40 days spent in the desert;

2. Almsgiving - giving up something of importance to us, for example resources (money or time), and giving these to others in need without expecting a thing in return;

3. Praying - spending quiet time with Jesus to talk with Him about things we are thankful for, things we need help with or just to praise Him.

Talk to your parents about the Lenten Promises you are doing this Lent. Reflect on how you are going with your promises and what you may need to do to keep them.

He looked up, but even now he could not see the top of the tree. It seemed to go on forever. He looked down he couldn't see the ground either He was in a world of leaves and branches. With no earth or sky in sight the beast was below somewhere he couldn't even hear it anymore.

Billy found a place where two branches came together and he sat down to rest. Then something peculiar happened. There was a branch close to where Billy was sitting and he suddenly noticed that a patch of bark on this branch was beginning to move. It was a patch the size of a stamp, and the sides of it seemed to be splitting down the middle and opening outwards, like a pair of shutters on a window.

Billy sat staring at this thing and all at once, a feeling came over him. It felt as though the tree he was sitting in and the leaves all around him belonged to another world.
