It has had several stages in the development that has lead into the technology that powers many smart phones and tablets today. Android Inc. was founded in the United States in 2003 by Andy Rubin and Rich Minor of Palo Alto who then teamed up with Chris White and Nick Spears who work together to develop the software and associated technology to produce the most efficient Android operating system possible(itd_24 2012). While there have been many different versions of this technology, is important to realize that each version of operating system has helped to develop the most efficient operating system that is best for the consumer of that point in time. The android operating system has gone through a number of different names and versions before settling on the name android that is commonly known now. The previously known names of the android operating system consists of cupcake, donut, eclair, froyo, gingerbread, honeycomb, ice cream sandwich, and the...

...ITT Technological Institute – Miami 5/29/2014 IDI cannot continue operating with a neglected IT infrastructure. A plan needs to be prepared to identify every issue with the IT infrastructure. Such plan should describe actions to eliminate or mitigate the risks, and provide a framework within which the improvement, development and delivery of information technology could be increasingly responsive, stable, and secure in the coming years. Some of the upgrades included on that plan are the following: •Network infrastructure should be upgraded to Gigabit Ethernet, considerably increasing network speed •Port speed needs to be increased from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps •IDI Internet bandwidth should double immediately and significantly increased annually from that point forward •Deteriorating network infrastructure components have to be identified, replaced, and upgraded, and network reliability improved through the implementation of greater redundancy •Digital modems should replace the analog modems, improving reliability and connection speed •Wireless network standards need to be developed and implemented, and wireless access needs to be provided to several other locations •A new central directory needs to be created and developed as the authoritative source for identity information and authentication •A state-of-the-art backup system will be implemented for centralized backup of enterprise systems Upgrading IDI’s software is more than just an economic business decision.

In the early 1980s, Steve Wozniak left the company and Steve Jobs hired John Sculley as the President of the company. After facing many failures, Apple launched its Macintosh computers for house hold users. In mid 1980s, Steve Jobs had to leave the company because of his controversial relations with the president. At that time John Sculley rejected the offer of Microsoft‘s CEO, Bill Gates to license the Macintosh operating system to Microsoft. After this refusal, Gates developed DOS operating system and in late 1980s, the competition between DOS and Macintosh decreased Apple's sale, workforce and resignation of John Sculley. So, Apple's current CEO planned to purchase Next Step operating system of Jobs in order to improve the Macintosh operating system. In late 90s Jobs again became the CEO of the company and be started surprising relations with Microsoft by developing a Macintosh version of office software. Apple also took cost saving measures like streamlining the product line, production of printers. Steve Jobs brought Apples' focus on two concepts of consumer series with the prefix “I” for internet like iMac, iBook laptop and professional with prefix “power” such as PowerMac desktop and PowerBook laptop series.

...Section A Ans 1A The term audiovisual (AV, or A/V) may refer to works with both a sound and a visual component, the production or use of such works, or the equipment used to create and present such works. Slide-tape presentations,[1] films, and television programs are examples of audiovisual presentations. Once audiovisual media came into existence, it became a part of people's everyday lives within a few decades.[2] Business presentations are also usually audiovisual. In a typical presentation, the presenter provides the audio by speaking, and supplements it with a series of images projected onto a screen, either from a slide projector, or from a computer connected to a projector using apresentation program (software). In the developed world, there has been a huge uptake of computer-based audiovisual equipment in the education sector, with many schools and higher educational establishments installing projection equipment and often using interactive whiteboard technology. Ans1B A teleconference is a meeting or conference held via a telephone or network connection between participants in remote cities or work sites. Many types of teleconferences exist, with the simplest form involving the use of a speaker phone at each location to conduct an audio conference. More sophisticated teleconference meetings involve the exchange of audio, video, and data. The term teleconference can also refer to a live event that is transmitted via satellite to various locations simultaneously...
