Maduranga asked:


I’m planing to build up my path to university and at a certain institute told me that the Electrical and Computer System is same as Electronics Engineering and its just a different name for the same digree.

What I want to do is Electronics Engineering. But the above mentioned university does not offers a degree name Electronics Engineering but they have that Electrical And Computer System Engineering.

Are they same (as the institute told me)? Is it ok to go with that degree?

Thanks A LOT in advance!

Find Desktop Computer Deals on Your Computer

Groshan Fabiola asked:


Nowadays almost all people who own a computer have Internet access and are familiar with online shopping. It is only natural that when they look for desktop computer deals they search the Internet from their PC. As it is the case with many other appliances, when we look for a laptop computer we are interested in the performance of the computer, in desktop computer deals. It often happens that the aspect of the product bears less importance. For this reason, online shopping for a desktop computer is a very wise choice.

Desktop computer deals can be easily found on the Internet. Every major computer business has web sites and online shops. Searching for the best computer requires only a few hours of using the Internet and the purchase of the computer only takes a few minutes. However, finding desktop computer deals can easily take less than a couple of hours if we search diligently.

You can find a very good and cheap laptop computer online. People usually know the configuration of the computer they are looking for and this makes searching for it even easier. However, they would still have to browse through numerous web pages until they find what they are looking for.

For this particular reason, special discount web sites have been created. Any computer owner will search for his or her next laptop computer online. Any soon to be computer owner will ask a friend who owns a PC to help find the best desktop computer deals, as they are already familiar with the computer and Internet world. Web sites that present discounts of several computer shops understand this aspect.

Rather than browsing the Internet for a couple of hours to find the best desktop computer deals or discount laptop computers, people can now visit web sites where discounts for numerous products are shown. These web sites are extremely user-friendly because all products are categorized.

If you are looking for a laptop computer deal or desktop computer deals, you simply have to look in the computer discount category. This is where you will find numerous computer discounts from various brands. A short presentation of the product is shown together with the discount offered by the shop. For further details you will find a link to the online shop offering the discount.

Moreover, every person who has visited the web site and was looking for a computer laptop or searching for desktop computer deals can make a comment about the products. So if you find the discount PC you were looking for you can also see other buyers’ comments on the product or the service provided to them. 

The Internet is one of the most important means of communication and information. Everything you need to know can be found on the Internet. If you are looking for a laptop computer, then you have to search the net. If you are looking for good desktop computer deals, then you definitely have to search the Internet. Web sites with discounts are the best options in this case.

What is a computer system backdoor?

Jessica D asked:


In laymen’s terms, what is a backdoor in computer systems? I’m not technologically savvy and most descriptions I’ve found have too much jargon for me to fully understand. What’s its purpose and what does it do? Do all computer systems come with backdoors or is that something created by the user? If you’re in somebody else’s backdoor, do they then have access into your backdoor/system? Does this compromise security? How can you tell if someone’s accessed your system? How much damage can be done if somebody else is able to enter your backdoor? Is there any way to prevent that?

Danger of Today: Child’s Computer Addiction

September 24th, 2008 by Henry | Comments Off | Filed in Computer

Lilia Parker asked:


t friend recently complainted about her son. That he is only interested in the computer, he refuses to read books or even play with other kids. But earlier she herself bought him a modern computer and game collection. Let him rather sit at home, it will keep him occupied and let me do my chores, so she thought.

That said, parents are blissfully unaware of the sort of information that their child is accessing through the computer. They do not suspect that the machine in their home has gone from being a toy, or a source of knowledge, to an object that essentially drives a gulf between the child and their parents, especially those parents who work. Step by step, kids tend to spend more and more hours playing on the computer.

Parents often become extremely distressed when their child is totally absorbed in playing on the computer. Certain pedagogues have accused computers of diminishing children’s knowledge of lexicology as it has been found that children cannot adequately recall certain words.

Medics made an important point that computer addiction has a negative influence on children’s health, behaviour and school progress. So, what should we do? Get rid of all home computers? Put a stop to technological progression? No, obviously we cannot do these things. It is impossible.

In one survey undertaken with children, we were able to uncover some of the facts. From the 30 children who were questioned, only one child claimed to be obsessed with the computer. That said, half of the children referred to computers in their answers, despite the fact that they did not consider themselves to be technically minded. Regardless of their age, children are gradually speaking of computers in their everyday conversations.

What do parents tell you to do? Unplug the computer; talk; go out. Mum cooks and dad goes on the computer.

Should parents punish their children and how?

If children do something wrong, then you can punish them for a short time. You could forbid playing on the computer or watching television for example. When you punish your child, it should be done fairly with absolutely no physical violence. A better way is to take away the child’s privileges, like their computer or pocket money for example.

What do you like doing? Playing on the computer and watching television. I love playing on the computer, but I like doing other things as well.

What rules should be imposed on children at home? Kids should be allowed to play computer games for 1-2 hours daily. I should have the right not to be disturbed when I am playing on the computer.

As we can see, the computer has become an essential part of children’s lives. How big a part this is, is very much dependent on us, the parents.Computers can help children with their studies. Computers can develop a child’s creative abilities and expose them to the vast and fascinating world.

However, this should be under one condition: that parents and their children use the computer together and that parents help their kids to find websites about animals, nature, technology and any subject that the child may be interested in.

Parents should engage their little ones with all creative activities that can be done with the aid of the computer. It could be colouring in, drawing, reading, finding useful information and even making new friends. With the help of their parents, children can create their own sites and take part in different competitions.

Parents must familiarise themselves with computer games and forbid any games that involve shooting and killing. They must also teach their children to be safe when working on the computer so that they do not ruin their eyesight or hurt their backs from a bad posture.

If parents show their children that the computer can be a source of help and wisdom, then it will be beneficial to them.

In contrast, computers can take over a child’s life and become a substitute for reality. They can teach them cruel things, feed them harmful information and expose them to a world of violence and terror.

All depends on what one uses it for as the computer can be a great aid in sources for knowledege. But, at the same time, if used incorrectly, it could even destroy their minds and lives. What it turns out to be is dependent on us, the parents, who can influence the ways in which our children use the computer.
