CONVERGENCE
 the combination of Computers with
various devices TVs with internet
access, cell phones with digital cameras

6. Portability
 A portable device is any device that can easily be
carried. It is a small form factor of a computing
device that is designed to be held and used in the
hands. Portable devices are becoming an
increasingly important part of personal computing
as the capabilities of devices like laptops, tablets
and smartphones continue to improve.

7. Personalization
 Personalization is the process by which a user customizes
a desktop, or Web-based interface, to suit personal
preferences.
 The rise of personalization has intensified privacy issues
and user concerns. In most cases, personalization involves
a non-disclosure guarantee between a service provider and
user.

9. HD
 television (HDTV) provides a resolution that is
substantially higher than that of standard-
definition television. HDTV may be transmitted in various
formats: 1080p: 1920×1080p: 2,073,600 pixels (~2.07
megapixels) per frame.

10. Intenet
The Internet is a global network
connecting millions of computers. More
than 190 countries are linked into
exchanges of data, news and opinions.

11. Settleite
 an object, whether natural (such as the moon) or
artificial (such as a weather observation satellite),
that revolves around a central body.

12. A camera that stores images digitally
rather than recording them on film

Digital Camera

13. Types to consider
 Types to consider
 Point-and-shoot digital camera
Automatically adjusts settings such as exposure and
focus
Easy to use, but manual controls can allow you to
tweak the settings to get better photos (under $500)
 Single-lens reflex (SLR) digital camera
Uses a reflecting mirror to reflect the incoming light
so the viewfinder shows what the lens is framing
$450 on up.
Page 13

14. Digital Camera
 Resolution: Megapixels and Sensors
 Megapixels = millions of picture elements; the more megapixels, the
higher the resolution
 7 – 12 megapixels common for point-and-shoot cameras;5 – 12 for
SLR
 The larger the sensor chip, the sharper the images
 Lenses
 Digital zoom
 Means the image is cropped in the camera
 Lowers the resolution and so can produce a grainy photo
 Optical zoom
 Enlarges the subject without you needing to move closer
 Lens extends to focus on distant objects; clearer image
Page 14

15. Digital Camera
 Storage
Use flash memory cards inside camera; cards
are reusable
 Viewing images
Optical viewfinders let you see the image to be
photographed before you snap the picture
LCD screens let you review the photos you have
taken take
Page 15

16. Digital Camera
 Start-up time
Digital cameras require time to start up
Look for one that has a short start-up time
Also, the shutter can lag, delaying the time
between when you press the button and the
shutter clicks; look for a camera that allows
“burst” or “continuous “ m
Page 16

17. Digital Camera
 Battery life
 The camera requires a battery to function
 Some rechargeable batteries are available with many
models
 Some recharge in the camera, while others require a
separate charging stand
 Video clips
 Most digital cameras can shoot movies, too
 1-gigabyte memory cards can shoot as many as 44
minutes of video at 30 frames per second
Page 17

18. Digital Camera
 Principle methods for transferring images
 Use a direct connection between your camera and your
computer (with a USB cable and software).
 Insert the memory card into your computer or card
reader
 Put your camera into a cradle attached to the PC
 Use an online photo developer
 Use a photo printer with a built-in card slot
 Use a portable hard drive, CD burner, or MP3 player
 Use a photo-printing kiosk
 Use a photo lab
 Bring along your own card reader and CDs and use
others’ computers

19. Digital Camera
 The Societal Effects of Digital Cameras
People are taking their cameras everywhere
People take far more pictures than they used to
Photography is becoming more casual
People are touching up their photos, making
them look better

20. personal Digital Assistant and
tablet Pcs
 PDA (personal digital assistant) is a term for any
small mobile hand-held device that provides
computing and information storage and retrieval
capabilities for personal or business use, often for
keeping schedule calendars and address book
information handy.
Page 20

21. Features
 Have touch-sensitive screens so you can enter data with a
stylus by tapping or writing on screen
 Store data in RAM that stays on even when the unit is off
by using the PDA’s battery
 Can be augmented by flash memory
 Commonly use lithium ion batteries
 Transfer files to your PC in one of three ways
 Pull out the PDA’s flash card and insert it into the
PC’s card reader using a USB port
 Put your PDA into a special cradle plugged into a
USB port
 Transfer data wirelessly
Page 21

22.  Many cellphones are usurping features from PDAs
 To compete, PDAs must develop new features
 Examples of possible PDA evolution
 Display television and photos
 Handheld weather meters
 GPS locators
Page 22

23. Tablet PCs
A special notebook computer with a digitizer
tablet and a stylus so the user can handwrite
input from the screen
Recently only about 3% of laptops being sold
Used in niche markets such as schools
Page 23

24. The New Television
 New equipment available for TV
 Interactive TV
 Lets you interact with the show you’re watching
 Internet TV
 Television distributed via the internet
 Internet-Ready TV
 Allows viewers to watch TV shows as well as go online to get
news, stream movies, view photos, etc.
 Mobile TV
 “Tiny TV,” displayed on cell phone screens

25. Three Kind Of TV
High-definition television
(HDTV)
Digital television
(DTV)
Standard-
definition
television
(SDTV)

26. Three kinds of TV
 Digital television (DTV)
 FCC has mandated that all TV stations be capable of digital
broadcasting
 People with analog TVs use a converter box to deal with digital
broadcast signals
Page 26

27. Three kinds of TV
 High-definition television (HDTV)
Works with digital broadcasting signals
Has broader screen and higher resolution than analog
TV
Uses a lot of bandwidth
Page 27

28. Three kinds of TV
 Standard-definition television (SDTV)
Uses lower resolution than HDTV and so can
transmit more information within the HDTV bandwidth
Allows multicasting

30. the ultimate convergance machine
 In the days of the first computers, the only
information digitized was business records. Then
came text and word processing, followed by audio
and finally video. Having all forms of information in
the digital domain made convergence inevitable. In
the past, data used to travel over voice networks.
Today, voice commonly travels over data network

31. E Book
an electronic version of a printed book which
can be read on a computer or a specifically
designed handheld device.
Page 31

32. E-Book Reader
A device specifically
designed to allow people to
read electronic books
Page 32

33. E book Readers

34. How an E-Book Works
 Different e-books use different e-software formats
 Vizplex technology (E Ink) reduces eyestrain and battery consumption
 E-books are downloaded by wireless access (3G or Wi-Fi)
 Some benefits
 One e-book reader can store hundreds or thousands of books
 Easy to download books by wireless access; books are less expensive
 Type size and face can be adjusted
 Usually can be read in low light
 Automatically opens to the page where you left off
 Text can be searched and cross-referenced
 Dictionary automatically available
Page 34

35. Drawbacks of E-Book Readers
 High price--$300-$400
 Photos, charts, diagrams, foreign characters, and tables
not as good as in print version—or are left out of the e-
book
 Battery needs to be recharged
 Reader doesn’t own the downloaded books
 Are not designed for college textbook use

computer, typically having a touchscreen interface, Internet
access, and an operating system capable of running
downloaded apps.

amusements are readily
available
NEGATIVE
 People are less polite,
courteous, and respectful
using cell phones
 Cell phones are
answered in theaters and
restaurants
 Cell phone users engage
in loud conversations in
public places
 Cell phone use while
driving is dangerous
