Chapter I Introduction What is Computer? Let us begin with the word ‘compute’. It means ‘to calculate’. We all are familiar with calculations in our day to day life. We apply mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. and many other formulae for calculations. Simpler calculations take less time. But complex calculations take much longer time. Another factor is accuracy in calculations. So man explored with the idea to develop a machine which can perform this type

keep every penny of interest. Progressive Insurance is the notable exception to the industry rule: It tries to pay as quickly as it can – by getting claims adjusters out of the office and onto the street where they can interact with clients. The logic behind such a radical notion? Happier customers and more productive claims reps will more than make up for the lost interest revenue. At Progressive, that radical notion is enabled (in part) by IRV, which stands for “immediate response vehicle,”

Emotional Intelligence Abstract Intelligence has been studied for a very long time and the more research is conducted newer concepts of intelligence continue to evolve and show that it is more than just being smart. Howard Gardner in 1983 came up with the concept of multiple intelligences and today personal career success requires not only academic intelligence but also a higher level of emotional intelligence. This paper compares both academic intelligence to emotional intelligence

The Future of Cloud Computing Wesley Rhoades INF 103 Computer Literacy Anjit Bose, MBA December 2, 2013 Imagine a world where everything is ran by a network of computers centralized in one specific location. Businesses no longer required hardware and software to store their data on. Students didn’t have to sit in a classroom behind a desk listening to a teacher lecture them for an hour at a time. Imagine the money you would save just for the commuting alone. Warehouses that make and ship goods
