Most I/O devices interface to the CPU in a fashion quite similar to memory. Indeed, many devices appear to the CPU as though they were memory devices. To output data to the outside world the CPU simply stores data into a "memory" location and the data magically appears on some connectors external to the computer. Similarly, to input data from some external device, the CPU simply transfers data from a "memory" location into the CPU; this "memory" location holds the value found on the pins of some

For the last fifty years computers have grown faster, smaller, and more powerful, transforming and benefiting our society in ways too much to count. But like any exponential explosion of resources, this growth known as Moore's law must soon come to an end. Research has already begun on what comes after our current computing revolution. This research has discovered the possibility for an entirely new type of computer, one that operates according to the laws of quantum physics, a quantum computer.

plotting the death of the one fetching the basket; coincidentally the man in town acquires poison and dilutes it into two drinks. In Beowulf, he stays in the mead hall and waits for Grendel to invade. “Now Grendel and I are called together (lines 254-255)”, In this quote, he means that Grendel will invade and find Beowulf and will end up in a battle. There is most likely a lesson to be learned in a frame story. Just as in “The pardoners Tale”, the pardoner himself explains in the beginning that greed

The scientific literature on the dangers of driving while sending a text message from a mobile phone, or driving while texting, is limited but growing. A simulation study at the Monash University Accident Research Center provided strong evidence that retrieving and, in particular, sending text messages has a detrimental effect on a number of safety-critical driving measures.[6] Specifically, negative effects were seen in detecting and responding correctly to road signs, detecting hazards, time spent
