Electronics: An Evolution and Revolution
by: Chris Robertson
I often find myself thinking about the ways in which my everyday life has changed over the past twenty years. Usually, I take a step back and wonder how my mother - who passed away seventeen years ago - would view today's world. Aside from the geopolitical changes that have taken place in the past twenty years, and the ways in which the landscape of our city has changed with explosive growth and development, there are the wondrous developments in electronics that have changed the ways we do business and the ways we spend our leisure time.
Twenty years ago, I started using my first PC at work. I recall having to put in a floppy disk every time I wanted to do any word processing. It would be another six years before a friend told me about what he thought would be the next big thing - something called the World Wide Web. Today, of course, it's crippling when my DSL goes on the blink; my work grinds to a halt and I marvel at just how dependent I am on the Internet.
I look around my house and see all kinds of electronics that I couldn't have dreamed of twenty years ago. Sure, I had an Atari way back when, but I never would have imagined that Pong would evolve into a myriad of video games that my family could play on the PlayStation, Xbox, and GameCube. Yes, I had a VCR, but I never would have conceived that the VCR would make room for the DVD player, and that my TV screen would grow to such large proportions. Nor could I have imagined that my TV would host such a myriad of systems: PlayStation, Xbox, DVD player, and DVR recorder.
And then, of course, there's the digital revolution in cameras. Not only can I take photos and share them via the Internet, but I can also run slide shows on that same TV. I can take my digital camcorder, burn home movies onto discs and send them to relatives half a world away.
What's even more amazing to me is that virtually all of the electronics consumer goods that I own have been given to me as gifts. I've been fortunate enough to enjoy the bounty of an electronics revolution that I couldn't have imagined twenty years ago. Which, of course, leads me to wonder what the next twenty years might bring in the wondrous world of electronics.

Batteries - Charging ahead
Batteries - Charging ahead
by: Eric Comforth
In these days of walk-and-talk and walk-and-work, battery chargers are as much a necessity to business as a microwave oven is to the kitchen. Cell phones, laptops, notebooks, and camcorders, just to mention a few.
But how do they work? Here are some types of battery chargers explained:
? Solar battery chargers: These little gems use the sun?s energy to recharge batteries. From car, boat and motorbikes to cell phones, DVD players and computers, there is a solar battery charger to suit.
? Automotive battery chargers: Most automotive battery chargers simply attach to the vehicle?s battery terminals and plug in to mains power. However, there are now new products on the market that work to prevent the battery from going flat in the first place.

Don't Use Markers to Label CDs and DVDs
Don't Use Markers to Label CDs and DVDs
by: Adam Platzer
Many people use markers to write on the surface of their CDs and DVDs when labeling their media.
What most people do not know is that using markers, such as Sharpies, ballpoint pens, or any other sharp object can be very damaging to the media.
Most markers contain chemicals that create oxidation, which can deteriorate the CD or DVD.
The oxidation can ruin the aluminum, which covers the surface of the media and ultimately can destroy the data on the disc.
Additionally, these types of markers can damage the physical structure of the disc.
There are a couple of ways to avoid these problems.
Special pens are now sold which are made specifically for writing on media.
One brand is called Staedtler Lumocolor CD/DVD Markers (pictured to the right).
Another tip to keep in mind is that off the shelf markers can be used on media that has...
