1. Fiber Optic Cable
When we hear the word fiber optic today we think about it, as being a newer, faster way of communication, and it is very true that it is one of the fastest ways to communicate and send data, however it is not exactly new. Optical communications systems date back as far as two centuries ago, to the “optical telegraph” that a French engineer by the n
2. Data Storage Devices
Even before the first computer was conceptualized, data had already been stored on hard copy medium and used with a machine. As early as 1801, the punched card was used as a control device for mechanical looms. One and one-half centuries later, IBM joined punched cards to computers, encoding binary information as patterns of small rectangular holes

4. Optical Storage Mediums
The most common way of storing data in a computer is magnetic. We have hard drives and floppy disks (soon making way to the CD-ROM), both of which can store some amount of data. In a disk drive, a read/write head (usually a coil of wire) passes over a spinning disk, generating an electrical current, which defines a bit as either a 1 or a 0. There a
5. Brave New World: The Use Of Distortion
Aldous Huxley, in his distopian novel,- Brave New World, written in 1932 presents a horrifying view of a possible future in which society has become a prisoner of the very technology it hoped would save us. In -Brave New World Huxley's distortion of technology, religion, and family values, is much more effective than his use of literary realism f
