THE FIRST PERSONAL COMPUTER

Can we imagine our selves  without technology? No, in this generation  it is impossible,everything around us bounded with the technological instruction,
Yes, and computer is the main leading device....

On of the most important technological innovations of the twentieth century was the computer. It gradually progressed from an enormous, unwieldy machine to a small personal computer that could be used in offices and at home. A key event in this development was the introduction by the international Business Machine (IBM) company of a new personal computer in 1981.  The computer, named the 5150 was not the first of its breed by any means, but IBM's solid reputation for quality and reliability made it a strong seller and gave the use of  personal computers a powerful boost. they were no longer a trendy fad, but something people increasingly they ought to have.
      IBM had a history in this general field. It created the world first floppy disc in 1967 and in 1975 unveiled its 5100 portable computer, which was probably the first self-contained portable computer system. Around 1980 , the company marketed its Data-master all-in-one desktop word processor. Like the 5100, it was expensive (around $15,000) and sales were low. The 5150 was a different story altogether. It was reasonably affordable at around $3,000 and it offered more memory than its rivals, whose makers promptly began copying it, producing what were initially known as ''IBM clones'' and later simply as PCs. In August 1982, after a year of manufacturing, the two hundred thousandth model was shipped out.
        The first 5150 contained the Intel 8088 CPU, a single floppy disc drive, and 64 KB of RAM and was the brainchild of engineer Don Estridge. The decision to supply the computer with Microsoft's DOS operating system was the foundation for that company's domination of the software market. 

FIRST IRON BRIDGE

Hi, friends today we are going to learn about a interesting topic related with our daily life....
Bridge :
  A structure that is built over a river, railway cross ,mountain tips, junction to allow people and vehicles to cross from one side to the other without losing the time and the communication of daily life to be easier ...

 Today's post related about The World's First Iron Bridge;

When and Where The World's First Iron Bridge Opens?
 >The completed iron bridge first opened one New Year's Day 1781, The bridge spanning the River Severn Gorge near Coalbrookdale, England, was the idea of young architect Thomas Pritchard. He commissioned  Abraham Darbylll, just twenty-nine at the time and a Quaker iron-master--- whose grandfather Abraham Darby l had triggered the industrial Revolution by inventing the smelting of coke powder to make iron -- to build the pioneering design for a single-span, 120-foot (37 m), 378-ton bridge, using massive parts, the largest of which was 70 feet (21 m) long.
       The bridge used iron to mimic traditional woodcarving techniques-- such as mortise and tenon, dovetails, and wedges--to feet join together. Although Pitchard died in 1777, work on the bridge continued, financed by another local iron-master, John Wilkinson. It was completed in 1779, although the approach roads took another two years. No records were kept on the construction, and exact detail remained a mystery until 2002, when a watercolor by Elias Martin was discovered in Sweden showing how it was made. The bridge become so celebrated that a new town, Iron bridge, grew up around it.
        Darby overspent and was in debt for the rest of his life, but the bridge, although over-heavy and subject to cracks around its foundations, survived and is now recognized as a milestone's in the worlds industrialization. in 1987, Iron bridge was declared a World Heritage Site, attracting a tourist industry that celebrates the industrial Revolution.

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

Hi friends, Me K.R.Ansari(Historical History/).

Today We are going to learn about the History of  Nobel Peace Prize, as we all heard about it but many of us including me don't  know why and where from it come,So my friends through this we are going to know about the foundation of Nobel,  yah it will be very interesting so get started....

What is Nobel peace prize?

The Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel, The inventor of dynamite, wrote in his will that awards should be given every year to people, who 'in the previous year have done the greatest good for mankind'. This prizes are named after Alfred Nobel and awarded for path-breaking achievements in the field's of medicine,physics, chemistry,and literature---and for excellent services given to great humanitarians like Albert Schweitzer, Martin Luthr King, and Mother Teresa and also to organisations such as the Red Cross and UNICEF of the United nations. In 2006, Mohammed Yunus, a banker from Bangladesh, received the Nobel peace prize. He lent very small amounts of money to poor people----often just 50 Euro----who needed only the small amount to break the cycle of poverty for good. Today, his theory of 'micro-lending' is helping to eradicate poverty in the world. Since 1901, The Nobel prizes are awarded in Oslo every year on December 10, the death anniversary of Alfred Nobel.

SECRET BEHIND THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

1809 Thomas Paine, guiding light of the American Revolution and on of the most influential thinkers of the age, died in New York City today. Through his writings, Paine inspired and revived the nation's morale during the dark days of America's fight for independence from Britain. His famous pamphlet Common sense, Published in 1776 and including the words, "The cause of America is in great measure the cause of all mankind" sold more than 1,00,000 copies in three months. The American Crisis, published later in the same year, is credited with contributing to America success at the Battle of the Trenton. While in France, Paine wrote the Writes of Man, a defense of the French revolution that earned him the brand "traitor" in his native Britain. Although a supporter of the revolutionary cause, he was oppose to the execution of Louis XVI: this aroused radical suspicions and landed him in the Luxembourg Prison, where the work on the statement of his religious beliefs, The age of Reason, published after his release. 

LET'S MAKE OUR PLANETS AS HUMAN LIVING PLANET

Hi friends, Me K.R.Ansari(Historical History).

A good morning to all of you & also drawing attention to World Environment Day 5 June;

World environment day occurs on 5 June every year, and is the United Nation's important vehicle for empowering overall mindfulness and activity for the for the protection of our environment. World Environment Day seeks to bring to all a heightened awareness and understanding of the Environment and the problem that besiege it.

 A clean environment is essential for human health and well-being. However, the interactions between the environment and human health are highly complex and difficult to assess. This makes the use of the precautionary principle particularly useful. the best known health impacts are related to ambient air pollution, poor water quality and insufficient sanitation.
        Environment related issues that affect our health have been one of the most important triggers that have led to creating an increasing awareness of the need for better environmental management. Changes in our environmental induced by human activities in nearly every sphere of life have had an influence on the pattern of our health. The assumption that human progress is through economic growth is not necessarily true. We expect urbanization and industrialization to bring in prosperity, but on the down side, it leads to diseases related to overcrowding and a inadequate equality of drinking water, resulting  in an increase in waterborne diseases such as infective  diarrhea and air borne bacterial diseases such as tuberculosis.High-density city traffic leads to an increase in respiratory diseases like asthma and many more.
       
          Let's make our planets as human living planet.

PRINTING FROM MOVABLE TYPE (first printing book)

Hi friends, Me K.R.Ansari(Historical History).

 K.R.Ansari(Historical History).

Now my dear friends before getting let I want to share with you something new which I recently collect from revised history; that is about "First Printing Book"
         
    In 1450 Johann Gutenberg, a craftsman and metalworker from Mainz in Germany, took out a loan from financier. He had been experimenting with ways of printing from movable type, using his knowledge of metalworking to produce a method of casting metal type in quantity by means of a hand mold. He needed funds to develop further tools and equipment,including a wooden screw press, oil based printing links, and paper that could take an impression. With the printing press he created from all these elements he was able to start work on his masterpiece, the Gutenberg Great Bible, the printing of which was completed not later than 1455.
      Gutenberg Bible(also known as the forty-two line Bible, because each page had forty-two lines of text) is commonly held to be the first printed book in Europe and marked the beginning of the mass production of books. It probably took a year to produce the first printing of 180 copies of 1,282 pages each. Gutenberg soon had many imitators, and printing press were set up in city after city to produce Bibles, encyclopedias, theological works, histories, and romances to feed an ever-growing appetite for the printed word.
       The invention of movable type has been likened to the birth of the internet. It was the technological breakthrough that powered the dissemination of ideas during the Renaissance and the humanist explosion of learning of the early sixteenth century. In 1999, Time magazine named the Gutenberg printing press the most important invention of the millennium.
