My Questions Related To Computers, Software And Internet

I have been reading the books "Learning Computers For Smarter Life - Book 1 to Book 5", authored by Manuj Bajaj and Anil Ahlawat. I have these questions in my mind for which I would like to get answers. The questions are

1. When was Windows Vista released first?
2. Sometimes the keyboards, mouse has a Microsoft logo. Does that mean that they are manufactured by Microsoft? I thought Microsoft only manufactures software applications, not hardware or other products. 
3. Do some websites that has videos in it cause Virus in my computer?
4.  How do some computer security software like Kaspersky protect the computer from virus?
5. What kind of websites attack our computer and cause virus?

Do comment your answers. Thank you.

How Mathematics Triggered An Idea to Make Edu Products

I started to learn 'I Did It Mathematics - Book 5'. There was a play activity to make flash cards on large numbers, their number names and their expanded forms. The game was for a group of children and when the teacher would tell a number, the students who has the flash card for the number, number names and its expanded form, join together to form a group. And the game continues.

Since I am homeschooling and I didn't have friends around, Amma and myself came up with an idea to make flash cards and play a memory game which we will do later.

In the meanwhile, we integrated technology with our Mathematics lesson.

The Properties Of A Computer File

Have you ever seen a lot of icons on a desktop of your computer? Those icons are called as files. Files are stored everywhere in your computer. They are in the desktop, they are in the documents folder, picture folders etc. They are scattered all around in your computer. 

What I have learnt today is each file has its own properties. When I right clicked a file and looked into the properties of the file, what I saw is each file has its own name which we know already and it also has a file type. For example, a MS Word file where we type a lot of content is stored as a DOC file. A picture file is stored as a JPG file.

Divided But United

What unites people from different professions? 

They could be from one country, the fact that they are from one country but are in different professions can unite them in a foreign land. People can be interdependent because they basically need each other to come up with a new change or a new something. Example, a construction worker is interdependent with a building engineer since the former constructs a building depending on the latter's designs. A bus driver and a conductor are interdependent because it needs two people to run a bus service. One rides the bus while the other sells the tickets, one focuses on the road and traffic while the other focuses on seating arrangements and managing people inside the bus.

What Unites people who speak different languages?

Change And Emperor Ashoka

History is always a study of change. Not everything changes. Some remains same and others change. Things that remains same for many years are something like that we always need food, we always need shelter, fern plant still exists, sun still exists, the Earth didn't break as yet in to several pieces, the Moon did not break and split. 

There are other things that change like the clothes we wear, the vehicles we travel, extinct dinosaurs, the ice age that is not existing anymore, the world that has split into several countries, the oceans that keep growing and changing etc.

I would like to share my opinion about the change Kalinga war brought.  King Ashoka was the son of Bindusara and grand son of Chandragupta Maurya.

The following picture shows the Mauryan Empire of 260 BC.

The Jowett Car - A Time Line

Change is a continuous process. It was necessary to bring changes so that human beings can start living comfortably. One of the major changes brought by human beings is the invention of automobiles. This change helped the people in the world to travel anywhere on the land, water and air. Since then people started to explore the different places in the world and we became more aware of the world that we live in.

Characteristics of a Historian - A Mind Map

Created using MS Word 2016

Historian is one who studies, write about and answers our questions about History. Unlike story teller, he or she deals with facts, writes truthfully, writes about real people and real events. I like Historians because they research a lot to gather evidences to bring out real facts about History.

Today, I also learnt how to insert a cycle in MS Word. I learnt how to change font colors, increase the size of the font, use text effects and typography. The pictures below represent the Maha Yuga Cycle and the Year Cycle. 

From Brahma to King Yadu

I continue to learn more on how to use MS Word. Today, I learnt about how to insert Hierarchy List into MS Word. And, I also learnt about the ancestral lineage from Brahma to King Yadu. King Yadu comes from the Lunar Dynasty, his ancestral father is Soma. From King Yadu, the Yadu dynasty was called as Yadu kula, the clan of Yadu. Lord Sri Krishna is a Yaduvanshi, meaning born in the Yadu dynasty. The following two pictures shows the hierarchy right from Brahma to King Yadu.

My Questions Related To MS Word And Computers

I started to use computer more and more nowadays. What I learnt yesterday is that it is not just enough to be a computer user. In order to be a Computer Expert, we have to also understand how the Computer works, we have to think what happens inside and we have to ask a  lot of questions. My mom says, being a Computer User is nothing wrong, but to be a 'Maker', we have to think beyond.

I was asked to write all the curious questions that I have about MS Word and computers in general. So, here is a list of questions that I have. If you have answers for me, please comment. I will be glad you helped. 

My Questions are

Change is a process and it is related to History

What is History? History is, simply put, what happened in the past and the changes that happened in it that formed the world today. So, change is very important and change is related to History. 

In order to understand how change is related to History, I prepared a questionnaire to interview my parents to know the changes that happened in their living and life styles that has formed the world today.

My questions to my mother were 

Change: Is it good or bad

Change is the new thing that come our way. Change is neither good nor bad. Change creates new history. Change is a necessary thing. No one can stop the change. Instead of getting scared, one can study the path of change and make sure the direction of the change is towards the good and the betterment. I brainstormed with my mother who is also my facilitator, to find out if it is good to change or not.
