The computer has allowed many people to communicate with each other through various ways possible such as online chatting, email messaging, various social networking sites, and even though several online games. The internet has been open even to commerce by allowing users to perform some business transactions such as online purchasing or online banking. Different ways of learning can now be achieved with the internet through online tutorials and classes. However, what most people do online is to get into social networking, gaining friends and meeting other people online. Most people already had their own profile accounts with the different social networking websites, not only because it is widely known by a lot of people, but somehow it allows them to display their selves to the world and allows meeting a lot of other people and expanding their new found circle of friends online. These are the most common things one does in the world of internet.

Social networking sites provide users their online version of their personal memoir or biography. It was like a piece of scrapbook continuously being filled up with some new happenings and updates about the owner. Aside from these social networking sites, some people wanted something more advanced in their online profiles by making a more customized look on the web page of their respective profiles, wanting to be unique and different from others. Since these social networking sites only provide limited actions and functions in terms of customizing and designing of one’s web profile, some progressed into creating a profile which is more personalized than those found in the social networking sites, their very own website.

Creating one’s website may need for one to have a technical knowledge in the designing and developing of the desired website. The creation of a website can be achieved using a markup language for creating web pages, which are the HTML (HyperText Mark up Language) and may also include scripting languages like JavaScript for the additional functionalities and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) for formatting and positioning the layout of text and images and the appearance of the webpage. Once the development of the website is finished, the next step to be done is to publish it for other people to access it through the World Wide Web.

Web hosting allows the created website to be viewed and visited by other users who are connected into the internet. It can also allow the site to be operating twenty four hours a day for seven days a week. Web hosts are the companies which made the website accessible online. One should also consider the benefits one can get in choosing the desired web hosting packages. In selecting the web hosting package for the publishing of the website, it is important to consider the contents of the website to be published. If the web site contains various kinds special effects like animations, videos, and large sizes of images one should consider the web hosting site, which can allocate bigger spaces for these features. There are some companies, which offer web hosting services for free. However, the space available for the website is only limited and since the web hosting service is for free, one can also see several advertisements being flashed in the websites being posted through this free web hosting companies. There are companies, which offer better services than those of free web hosting sites, but it requires payment in order for the website to be continuously running online. These kinds of web hosting sites are subscribed by people who use their websites for business purposes. Some examples of these websites are those which are used for online business like reservations, booking, online purchasing, or even official websites of different companies, institutions and organizations. Web hosting can help one’s business by gathering many potential clients since the website can be viewed by many people from the different parts of the globe.

The World Wide Web has grown popularity, and it can provide a lot of opportunities to many people who are trying to venture different kinds of business online or even for those who just wanted to be known. It allows one to be known not only in a particular place but even to many other places the internet can reach.

The computer, otherwise known as a processor, is a simple description yet a device with complex functions, intricate codes, and immense capabilities. It is an electronic device designed to accept data, perform prescribed mathematical and logical operations at high speed, and display the results of these operations. Yet little that we know that it was originally a job title, generally occupied by women, referring to recurring computations of mathematical equations. Due to its repetitive process, early inventors and mathematicians devised a way to lessen the effort in exerting such procedure. Early computers were primarily used for aiding mathematical calculations such as the Abacus, which uses the concept of positional notation. It uses a system of writing numbers in which the position of a digit affects its value. Actually, it doesn’t do the computing, but it assists people to keep track of the numbers as they calculate. However, as the need to do multifarious calculations arouse, John Napier discovered the technology of an algorithm, a step-by-step recursive computational procedure for solving a problem in a finite number of steps. Indeed, necessity is the mother of all inventions, as a prodigy child at 19, Blaise Pascal invented the gear-driven adding calculator, Pascaline. Evidently, these early calculators were the triggering point of the emergence of processing machines such as the Differential Analyzer by Charles Babbage, to handle simple calculus problems; electromechanical machines such as the Enigma used to encrypt and decrypt secret codes; gadgets to decode these messages such as the Colossus Mark I; and eventually the materialization of electronic digital computers such as the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) intended to solve systems of linear equations. To note, as the first digital electronic computer, it pioneered the components of modern computing consisting of binary arithmetic, electronic switching elements, regenerative capacitor memory and the concept of organizing memory and computation separation. It was then that the Z3 computer by Konrad Zuse was invented that established the first freely programmable, working computer in the world based on a binary floating-point number and switching system, which is very similar to a modern computer comprising of separate units – a punch tape reader, a control unit, a floating-point arithmetic unit, and an input/output device. While these gadgets, machines, and devices were designed to comply with fixed commands that are not capable of editing programmed instructions, these are distinguishable to modern day computers that possess versatility and accuracy.

Even though Babbage’s Analytical Engine was still being conceptualized, Ada Lovelace prognosticated the computers’ capability of processing algorithms beyond mere mathematical computations and wrote the program codes. She was regarded as the world’s first programmer. These programs are translated to a machine language for a computer to understand, and upgraded to assembly language, and eventually high level languages. If software programming has advanced and upgraded, computer hardware has kept up with the pace too, as the quest for faster runtime and more storage data increases. Throughout history, computer hardware and software has defined the era it was built in. In early times, the computers were generally outsized occupying the whole room, while presently, computer sizes vary depending on its use. It encompasses mainframes, workstations, towers, desktops, laptops, hand held personal computers, personal digital assistants, and to top it all, supercomputers that are used for complex and unthinkable calculations involving quantum mechanical physics, weather forecasting, physical simulations, climate research, and molecular modeling.

Computers nowadays are customizable wherein users can opt for their desired specs accommodating their intended use, either for internet video streaming, or gaming experience. Popular processors are Intel i7 920 2.66GHz Quad Core, and 1 x AMD Athlon XP 2100+ / 1.73 GHz (266 MHz). For extreme hardcore gaming, video card performance is vital. Large leaps by ATI’s Radeon 5800 have quite easily taken the top spot for single-GPU performance. Not to be outdone is Nvidia’s dual GPU card, the GTX 295 – essentially 2 GTX GPUs running in SLI on a single card.

Computers are constantly evolving and upgrading rapidly. The supercomputers today may only be a normal computer tomorrow. However, it wouldn’t hurt if we indulge ourselves with these to enjoy the height of it. After all, enjoy present pleasures as not to injure the future ones.
