Evolution of Computing and Cloud Computing FAQ
Historical Computing Trends
From 1960 to 1980, lower-cost minicomputers such as the DEC PDP 11 and VAX Series became popular among small businesses and on college campuses.
From 1970 to 1990, we saw widespread use of personal computers built with VLSI microprocessors. From 1980 to 2000, massive numbers of portable computers and pervasive devices appeared in both wired and wireless applications. Since 1990, the use of both High-Performance Computing (HPC) and High-Throughput Computing (HTC) systems

Hydraulic Systems: Principles, Components, and Applications
Hydraulic Systems: Advantages and Disadvantages
Hydraulic systems offer several advantages over pneumatic systems:
- Easy Speed Control: It is possible to regulate the flow of oil-water to control velocity.
- Transmission of Large Power: Hydraulic systems can transmit significant power.
- Position Control: Achieved thanks to the incompressibility of the fluid used.
- Reversibility of Drives: The fluid can move in either direction.
- System Protection: Possible through the use of safety valves.
- Start and Stop Under
Size Reduction: Methods, Applications, and Equipment
Size reduction, also known as comminution, is the process of reducing the particle size of materials to facilitate their handling, processing, or utilization. This process is fundamental in various industries, including mining, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, food, and chemical manufacturing. Size reduction enhances the surface area of a material, improves its flow properties, and prepares it for further processing, such as mixing, drying, or chemical reactions. Below is a detailed explanation of

Wireless Communication: Types and Characteristics
Light Waves (Laser)
Light waves, specifically lasers, enable communication between different areas with a direct line of sight. They transmit in a straight line and do not pass through objects. Lasers are one of the most commonly used forms of light wave communication.
Infrared Waves
Infrared waves are widely used for short-range communication, such as in remote controls for televisions and VCRs. A significant drawback is that they do not penetrate solid
