Resume "Green Computing"

Hello there..!



Well this is my Resume about our project call "Green Computing"









As we know in almost every home in our city has a Computer, laptop or any kind of electronic device, we change this electronics devices almost every 3 years, but have you asked before... where did my last my computer end up? or what its take from earth to create a new laptop?, can be this recycle once that it's not useful anymore? As we know technology is every day growing up really fast!
but as It grows ..It pollutes our envirment :/ but there are some
organizations already working on it! so our idea was to develop a new "Low Power Consuption" Laptop

This is the "Mind Map"
















These are the features about our new laptop

Our goal it is to create a low power consumption pc that could offer a many benefits to the enviroment one of them is that It will has its own photo voltaic cell so you can take energy directly from the sun and not from others energy sources that in general they polute the enviroment

beside this it will use


- Solid State Hard Drive

Unlike hard disk drives, solid-state drives store data in flash memory or DRAM. With no moving parts, power consumption may be
reduced somewhat for low capacity flash based devices

- Passive Cooling -

Absolutly no moving parts

- Advanced Power Management

Allows an operating system to directly control the power saving aspects of its underlying hardware. This allows a system to
automatically turn off components such as monitors and hard drives after set periods of inactivity. In addition, a system may
hibernate, where most components (including the CPU and the system RAM) are turned off.

This how It looks like

The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.



Simple Present: But when the show breaks for the night.
Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum




Present Continuous: With the whole nation watching.
What is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show?




Sufix: biggest, winning, cheating,loved, learned.



Prefix: increasingly, impossible.

¿Engineering?

I created this post using an On Line Dictionary!

Engineering, profession devoted to designing, constructing, and operating the structures, machines, and other devices of industry and everyday life.

Types of Engineering

The primary types of engineering are chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, and mechanical.

Chemical engineering deals with the design, construction, and operation of plants and machinery for making such products as acids, dyes, drugs, plastics, and synthetic rubber by adapting the chemical reactions discovered by the laboratory chemist to large-scale production. The chemical engineer must be familiar with both chemistry and mechanical engineering.

Civil engineering includes the planning, designing, construction, and maintenance of structures and altering geography to suit human needs. Some of the numerous subdivisions are transportation (e.g., railroad facilities and highways); hydraulics (e.g., river control, irrigation, swamp draining, water supply, and sewage disposal); and structures (e.g., buildings, bridges, and tunnels).

Electrical engineering encompasses all aspects of electricity from power engineering, the development of the devices for the generation and transmission of electrical power, to electronics. Electronics is a branch of electrical engineering that deals with devices that use electricity for control of processes. Subspecialties of electronics include computer engineering, microwave engineering, communications, and digital signal processing. It is the engineering specialty that has grown the most in recent decades.

Industrial engineering, or management engineering, is concerned with efficient production. The industrial engineer designs methods, not machinery. Jobs include plant layout, analysis and planning of workers' jobs, economical handling of raw materials, their flow through the production process, and the efficient control of the inventory of finished products.

Mechanical engineering is concerned with the design, construction, and operation of power plants, engines, and machines. It deals mostly with things that move. One common way of dividing mechanical engineering is into heat utilization and machine design. The generation, distribution, and use of heat is applied in boilers, heat engines, air conditioning, and refrigeration. Machine design is concerned with hardware, including that making use of heat processes.

About Me :)

Hello there!, my name is Alexis David Medina Velasquez but my friends call me "Quark". I'm from Ojeda City. I live in Maracaibo, in "El Naranjal", I'm nine teen years old and I'm studying Electronics Engineering at URBE.

I love music, gaming, spending time with my family, and learning new things about electronics in fact I really love Electronics.

I hate vallenato, annoying people and waiting!

My dream is to become an Electronics Engineer and travel around the world specially go to Japan, Italy and China.

My opinion about English is that, it is really important because it is a universal language and it's very useful for my career. The most difficult part for me is speaking, I need to practice...and I hope to learn so much in this class.
