Media Of Communication Part 1

 Media Of Communication

Communication Channel:-Medium of communication can broadly categorized into two types:-
 1.Guided Media: - Guided media are those, which provide a physical connection from one device to another device. Like:-(a)Ethernet Cable: - Ethernet is a data link technology used in local Area network. Such cable can transmit data speed of 100-1000 mbps.
.Ethernet Cable was invented by an electrical Engineer of U.S. named Robert Metcalf.
.Ethernet Cable connected to Ethernet port with the help of “RJ45” socket.

Ethernet Cable can be categorized into:-
 1.Straight through Ethernet Cable:- It is used to connect different devices.
Like:- Computer to hub
       Computer to switch
       Computer to router
It has same order of color form left to right.
2.Ethernet Crossover Cable:- It is used to connect same device.
Like:- computer to computer
        Router to router 
        Hub to hub
In the cable inside the main covering 1st with 3rd and 2nd with 6th wire crossed from left
   (b)Co-axial Cable:- It acts as an efficient electrical transmission media. It consist of a single line of conductor surrounded by insulator layer and a conductive shield over it.

  •   It can transmit upto 100 mbps.
  •   It is used by the Cable T.V. operator.


 (c)Fiber optics:- Fiber optic cable is made fine stands of silicon glass fiber and is coated with a refractive surface. Data are transferred through electromagnetic waves.

  •  It can support over 30,000 telephone lines at a time. Transmission rate upto 10Gbps.

Computer Generations

 Computer Generations   Computers have evolved over time through different generations, each marked by significant technological advancements and changes in design and architecture. These generations are often categorized based on the underlying hardware and the key developments that distinguish one Generation from another. Let's explore the main computer generations: First Generation Computers    The First Generation of computers refers to the initial period of electronic computing, characterized by the use of vacuum tubes as the primary electronic component. This Generation spans the 1940s and 1950s and is marked by groundbreaking developments in computer technology.  Examples of First-Generation Computers:  o ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer): Completed in 1945, ENIAC was one of the first electronic general-purpose computers. It was designed to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army during World War ...

Programming in "C"

 Introduction   C is a general-purpose programming language that was developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories. It has since become one of the most widely used programming languages and has influenced the development of many other languages, including C++, Java, and C#. C is known for its efficiency, flexibility, and low-level programming capabilities. It is commonly used for system programming, embedded systems, and developing operating systems. C is also a popular choice for developing applications that require high performance, such as game engines and scientific simulations.   Here are some key features and concepts of C programming:   Syntax: C has a relatively simple syntax compared to some other programming languages. It uses a combination of keywords, variables, data types, operators, and control structures to write programs.  Variables and Data Types: You declare variables to store data in C. Various d...

History of Language "C"

  History of C      The history of C programming dates back to the early 1970s when Dennis Ritchie created it at Bell Laboratories. Here's a brief timeline of the major milestones in the history of C:  1969: The development of C began as a successor to the B programming language, which Ken Thompson created. Dennis Ritchie wanted to improve upon B's capabilities and efficiency.  1972: The C programming language was developed primarily to support the development of the Unix operating system. Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie rewrote Unix in C, which helped in porting the operating system to different computer architectures easily. 1978: The first edition of "The C Programming Language," also known as the "K&R C," was published. Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie wrote it, becoming the authoritative reference for C programming. 1983: The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) formed a committee to establish a standard for the C language. The ...
