During the last 10 years, the multi-touch technology has rapidly evolved and has been implemented within a multitude of devices, software programs and hardware. In the years to come, the this technology will be even more used and will soon become part of peoples’ day-to-day lives enabling them to easily interact with a computer screen or device using solely the fingers. Even if the future of multi-touch technology is the most important aspect scientists should focus on, it is better from time to time to take a trip down to memory lane and assess its evolution. When did multi-touch technology appear? The origin of multi-touch technology takes us back to 1982 when Nimish Mehta from the University of Toronto was the first one developing the finger pressure display using this technology. The year 1982 was an important year in multi-touch history because after the discovery of Nimish Mehta, other engineering companies like Bell Labs got involved in the development of this technology. I...

Open source software, or software with the source code readily available for users to modify as needed, has a controversial history that extends into the present day. With the computer and technological boom of the modern age, patenting and licensing of software has become an extremely profitable business, as software giant Microsoft can attest. However, software’s humble beginnings sprouted from the free model of open source. Richard Stallman, an employee at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), became involved with open source software in 1971, although he claims the open sourcing community had been around for many years before his participation. Several user groups of the early period include the SHARE group for IBM 701 and the DECUS group for Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). Operating systems in existence at the time, such as UNIX, provided academics and corporate researchers a template for their work. Open source software was extremely valuable during that time...

Cloud Computing Cloud Computing is the method of delivery of computing services over the internet. These computing services include storage, servers, databases, software, analytics and more. Cloud Computing is an information technology paradigm that enables us to access shared computing sources with minimal management effort. By the help of Cloud Computing, we can use computing resources online over the internet without investing money in building and maintaining computing infrastructure. In this way, Cloud Computing enables organizations to focus on their core business instead of making effort in building high-level computer infrastructure. Another great benefit of Cloud Computing is, it provides “pay-as-you-go” or “pay-per-use” model means you need to pay only for the resources you have used. It reduces your operating expenses. History The phrase Cloud Computing firstly appeared in 1996 (mentioned in a Compaq internal document). Later on, the term was populariz...

During times of war, disaster and plague, the earliest form of stretchers down the centuries were simply found items like farm gates, doors or flat bed carts. Anything that could suitably support an injured person and transport them to safety and care was viable. The mass wars of the 19th century, along with an increase in work related injuries resulting from the Industrial Revolution led to a need for better health care for the wounded. The Napoleonic Wars, the American Civil War and particularly the Battle of Solferino led to the creation of the Red Cross and the St John’s Ambulance Brigade. The latter organisation pushed forwards with the development of the standard stretcher and it was John Furley who is credited with the first recognisable stretcher. This used the most lightweight and durable materials available at the time, namely wood and canvas. A strong canvas support was attached to two poles that had foldable legs to create a temporary bed for victims when they were put...

E-learning is a very broad term. It is used to describe any type of learning environment that is computer enhanced. There are multiple technologies that can be employed in E-learning. It has become one of those types of words that are so general as to have lost some of its meaning. Distance learning is something that has evolved from Elearning. It is used to describe a learning environment that takes place away from the actual traditional classroom and campus. E-learning began at just about the same time that a computer was developed that was practical for personal use. In fact, the concept and practice of distance learning predates the computer area by almost 100 years. In England, in 1840, shorthand classes were being offered by correspondence courses through the mail. The improvements to the postal service made this method of distance learning popular in the early part of the last century. This led to a large number of “through the mail” type of educational programs. The ...

Business administration school is a university-level institution that educates learners on such topics as accounting, finance, marketing, organizational behavior, strategy planning, and quantitative methods. Most business administration schools have experienced well-qualified faculties, and efficient managements. In 1881, the first ‘collegiate business school’ was founded in Wharton. Business Schools before World War II were mostly “schools of commerce” and were conducted in relatively low esteem. After the Second World War and especially after 1960, Business Administration Schools began to grow rapidly. They are often known as university graduate schools. MBA degrees originally occurred in the United States of America, due to the fast industrialization growth that made it essential for companies to use scientific approaches to teach management. The first MBA degree was offered by Dartmouth College in 1900. Business schools have mushroomed and flourished in all s...

Canadians may not be known for the boats they manufacture but they actually have a good history with it. The Chemin du Roy, a road along the St. Lawrence River shore in Quebec, Canada, is a historically important road because it made transportation between Montreal and Quebec possible in just two days. Villagers saw the opportunity to manufacture canoes, rowboats and sailboats to serve as an alternative for passengers and goods. To bring the workers to this area, steamboats, canoes and barges were used. It was in 1935 when Moïse Cadorette started a company which fabricated canoes and small pleasure boats in St-Jean-des-Piles. They later introduced fiberglass in the manufacturing of their products to mould the hulls – a first in Canada in 1956. Later on, the Doral Boat was born in 1972. But it was in the historic town of Grand Mère, Quebec that the major business on boat manufacturing flourished when they moved there in 1989 after two local entrepreneurs bought Moï...

In 1927, Henry Ford changed the way we got from point A to point B. We replaced the horse and carriage with the Model A and then we quickly found a way to turn these metal contraptions into a new way to express our opinions. Henry Ford also did something else for us with the automobile. He put them out for thousands of people to purchase and as people began to have accidents, he added the bumper to provide some protection to the front and back of the car. Combine this bumper with America’s desire for free speech and people found a new way to advertise their products and ideas. The first bumper “stickers” were made of cardboard and metal. These were then connected by wire and string. In fact, they looked more like a license plate than a sticker. Nevertheless, these were the forerunners of bumper stickers, as we know them today. A change to the way bumper stickers were made would come later. In the 1930’s, Forest P. Gill worked for the Crawford Manufacturing Compan...
