TECHNOLOGY.... TODAY ,TOMMORROW.....

  I think the word EDGE Technology is familiar to you. Atleast to those guys who use GPRS or Internet in their mobile phones. Therefore a question to them; Do you know what this really is ???? Have you ever thought how does this work????
  EDGE is the acronym for Enhanced Data Rate for GSM Evolution/Environment which is generally an extended version of GSM. This technology is also nick named as 2.75G as this is the transmission path between 2G and 3G. EDGE is also termed as IMT-SC or Single Carrier. EDGE technology is invented and introduced by Cingular, which is now known as AT&T..EDGE   is considered as pre-3G technology and is apart of ITU's 3G definition.
  EDGE technology is a backward compatible technology, in the sense that older versions of mobiles can be equipped with EDGE technology. EDGE technology not only helps you to connect to Internet but also it enhances all multimedia services.Edge is all-like GSM because both have the same symbol rate as it does not require any additional hardware or software parts. But still there is a minor differences between these two technologies in the sense that EDGE is three times faster data transmission rate than ordinary GPRS. This is because EDGE uses 8PSK (8Phase Shift Keying) in addition to Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK). EDGE produces a 3-bit word for every change in carrier phase. This is the reason why EDGE supports three times faster data rate. The EDGE supports a bandwidth of 236.8 Kbps for 4 time slots (theoretical bandwidth is 473.6 Kbps for 8 time slots) in packet switching mode.

 The new generation likes to spend their time in the Internet. Most of the youngsters kill their time in front of this widening technology. If this surfing is just fro a fun, then a slow connection may well frustrate us. While some others are working on the internet, it may cost them money as well time may be their valuable customers too.... Therefore here I'm presenting some tips for you to really escape from the slow connection problem.

Wanna boost the speed???

1. All the computers logged on to the internet in your office or house have the potential to slow down yoor transmission speed. Therefore always make sure that those computers which are not active should be disconnected from the Internet.

2. The speed of your Internet connection also depends greatly on the types of browsers you use. Mozilla Firefox and Google chrome are some of the best browsers available in the market now. Also you can test-drive some browsers and can select from them which really suits your system.

3. If you are using Wi-Fi connection don't share it with your neighborhood as this may considerably slow down your  connection. Care should be taken to have a stronger password to prevent access to your hub.

4. If you are not that much worried about the graphics which are displayed on the webpage, don't forget to turn-on your text-only display.

5. Care should be taken to clear your cache once in a while. Caching is not good always. This is good for frequently viewed webpages by you, but it may slow down other pages.

6. Malware and spyware may also cause problems. Apart from their safety  concerns, they can also slow you down. Check your disks regularly and clean them.

7. Try rebooting the router. Turn the power to your home network off and then boot it to check whether it will boost your  Internet connection.

8. All the background running problems should be shut down. Each and every program that you run while surfing will reduce the connection speed to the Internet.

9. Maintenance is also important. Never neglect the frequent maintenance of your system. Always keep your disk clean and keep running defragmentation processes regularly.

10. Try changing your CDMA phones or wireless camera. These phones which uses 2.4 GHz may interrupt the internet connection. Wireless security cameras also works near to that frequency and may slow down the connection. So check that by removing them.

   After sunset, just turn on your porch light and soon you will be treated to a hundreds of, thousands of bugs. And more interestingly frogs and other predators takes advantage of their easy catchings.... But always remember not all insects get attracted to those impulses. Unfortunately this is a cruel trick played by our innovation moving faster than their evolution.
   A well accepted theory about this is that some insects use these light source as a navigational aid. Consider the example below:
An insect flying towards north, for its navigation may keep sun or moon as a reference source as far as the source of light remain constant  and at a distance. However the insect get confused with the source of radiation from an incandescent bulb in the porch as the flies the light to be at either of its sides for navigation.
   Actually the phenomenon which explains why some insects are attracted towards light and why some show repulsion is  "Photoaxis". This photoaxis can be of two types; positive and negative. Some insects like cockroaches or earthworm show repulsion and hence have negative photoaxis while others like moth,flies have positive photoaxis. Some scientists also argue that these flies are not attracted towards the light but the darker regions surrounding the light source, that is why insects are attracted towards artificial light even if the natural light becomes available.
