A computer speaker is a built-in device that generates the sound from the computer. This kind of speaker is designed for PCs or personal computers. A lot of different computer speakers can connect via a jack, USB, RCA connectors, socket and plug. They are commonly designed as attractive, small and versatile.
There are also durable brands that are a bit expensive but are worth the price. Computer speakers can also be used when you are listening to music, playing 3D games or watching a number of movies.
Moreover, computer speakers are in demand in the market now. People using the internet, teenagers hooked with their on line games are the primary users of this electronic device. Even the movie addict who only knows how to download their favourite and the latest movie on the net is obsessed with the idea of a good sound woofer in order to imitate their home theatres.
External speakers or the multimedia speakers are commonly equipped with a low-power internal amplifier. The standard audio connection is a stereo jack pug about 3.5 mm and coloured green for computer sound cards. Some uses an RCA connector for input but there are also types who use USB speakers which are provided with 5 Volts at 200 milliamps which can allow about a half watt of output power. They usually have an equalization feature for treble controls and bass. Computer speakers usually range from low quality, high-quality and expensive speakers.
Computer speakers vary greatly in price and quality and the typical speakers that are included in the computer package is mediocre in performance and sound quality.
Listed below are some of the types of computer speakers
• Logitech Z_2300: This computer speaker is loud and nice. The sound comes out without distortion or losing clarity. This is even at a high volume level.

It has a USB cable and jack connection. Hidden Spy speakers are around one hundred ten watts to two hundred twenty watts.
Thus, when it comes to recently featured computer speakers, Altec- Lansing is well known and respected. This is due to the long years it has put in developing the best sound woofers for your computers.
In fact, Altec-Lansing released their new high-end computer speakers. It has a simple, elegant style and complete with fantastic sounds, making it perfect for people who only seek quality computer speakers for their computers and audio devices.
Their FX series possess a remarkable sound from the FX satellites' REAL two-way system. This means that each satellite has two drivers that are both active. The beauty of this new innovation is that the FX 4021 and FX 5051 can be mounted on the wall. Thus, the first 5.1 system of FX5051 can offer the advantage of having a USB plug -and -play connectivity, which adds to its ease of use.
Comparing the FX 4021 and the FX 5051 specifications, with regards to its unique features are as follows:
FX 4021 uses an isobaric subwoofer with dual 5.25 inches woofers. Aside from this, the rest of the specifications are already similar to the FX 5051. Hence, the FX5051 is similar on some specifications with the FX 4021 but it has a better isobaric subwoofer with dual 6.5 inches woofers, a USB 5.1 connectivity, digital hardwired controller for stand-by, master volume, bass, treble and centre controls.
It also needs a minimum system requirement of a personal computer with a 500 MHz processor, Operating system of Windows 98SE, 2000, ME or XP, a minimum Random Access Memory of 64 megabytes, music and game title that is encoded for 5.1. This is along with an available Universal Serial Bus or USB port.
Both models have a two- way satellite that can be mounted to the wall. Plus, each satellite possesses the following:
• a 40 mm midrange driver
• 18 mm tweeter
• wireless remote for controls
• built in cable management
• conveniently located auxiliary input for mp3
• portable Compact Disc players
• Head Phone jack
Another innovative invention is the FX6021 which has a so called InConcert technology. This can be for music, home theatre or gaming addicts.
Moreover, this technology can deliver a crisp, clean, full- volume sound that feels like its covering every bit of you. This can even express s sound that is in a straight forward manner, not up and down. This means that the sound is clearer and uncluttered by the reflections of the ceiling, wall or floor.
Aside from this, it also has two super slim satellites that feature 12 neodymium one-inch micro drivers. Each micro driver is supported by its very own distinct amplifier. A 6.5 inches subwoofer accomplishes the sound through its low- frequency and a full- throated bass.
Comparing this high end speaker, FX6021, with a high performance speaker like the VS 4221 that possesses an impressive bass capable of registering on your Richter scale, they are still not on equal footing. This is due to the fact that the VS4221 has a 3 inch driver for a warm, uniform sound, capable of surrounding an entire room. The stunning result would be robust, rich sounds that only very few woofers can match.
Thus, a wide selection of speakers is now available and they differ depending on the user's demands and needs. With this, it is imperative that you are constantly updated on the types of computer speakers available in the market. This way, you will be able to keep in touch with how the evolving technology can work to your advantage.

Optical Computing-recent Trend in it
Optical computing means performing computations, operations, storage and transmission of data using light instead of electricity. Instead of silicon chips optical computer uses organic polymers like phthalocyanine and polydiacetylene.Optical technology promises massive upgrades in the efficiency and speed of computers, as well as significant shrinkage in their size and cost. An optical desktop computer is capable of processing data up to 1, 00,000 times faster than current models.
Advantages
Optical computing is cheaper or more powerful than conventional computers.
Within one data path several data sets can be transmitted parallel at the same time using different wavelengths or polarizations. Data paths are able to cross each other without interference.
The superior velocity of light allows extreme processing speeds.
Optical computers are said to run much faster than electronic
computers
Disadvantages
The development of its price is still expensive
Optical components can be build small and compact but not really miniaturized
Optical computers may use a different architecture. So these programs cannot use the full optical computers
High-tech factory costs several millions up to billions of dollars to be built
Difference between Optical computing and conventional computing
Optical computing
Data paths are able to cross each other without interference
Based on two dimensions
High performance
Bottleneck could disappear
Less heat is released
Less noise
Change the shape and layout
The distance of communication does not matter
Long-range communication is possible. the data rate is very high and there is no crosstalk
conventional computing
Crossed data paths are not possible
Based on three dimensions
Performance lesser than optical computing
Bottleneck could appear
Produce heat to a greater or lesser extent
A lot of noise. developed fans to reduce noise
Built as a rectangular box (desktop) or as a laptop
Communication depends on the distance
Longer distances decrease of the practical transfer rate
Features
Wireless Optical Mouse
The ultimate speed is the speed of light.
Massaging your hand by infrared ray
Quick and stable temperature (at 45+/-1) for warming your hand
Safety material for avoiding damaging the component of mouse
High precision option
Plug and play, no-driver required
Scroll without scrollbars
Optical tracking engine
Comfortable shape
low-consumption devicesThe mouse is designed to be used by younger children and features a smaller form factor that allows for an easier grip. It also features a colorful design that will make your child more interested in using a computer.
The mouse itself is rated for up to 1 million clicks.The mouse features an 800 dpi optical tracking interface. Optical tracking is much more precise than a mechanical ball mouse, and is also less prone to mechanical failure.
Past research
Existing silicon technology would represent a potentially less expensive and more feasible way to mass-produce future-generation devices that would use both electrons and photons to process information, rather than just electrons as has been the case in the past.
Less than one year ago, created laser light from electrical current on silicon by placing a layer of the silicon.
Ongoing research
This research builds upon the development of the silicon laser. Computer technology now depends on silicon electronics for data transmission. Researchers have used this platform to demonstrate electrically-pumped lasers emitting 40 billion pulses of light per second. because light can move thousands of times faster through solid materials than electrons and can carry more information at once, while requiring less energy. This is the first ever achievement of such a rate in silicon.
Creating optical components in silicon will lead to optoelectronic devices that can increase the amount and speed of data transmission in computer chips while using existing silicon technology.
Optical chips based on silicon photonic crystals would include their reduced risk of overheating due to lower power needs.

Tools You Need For Electronics Projects
Assembling electronic circuits is a great way of learning electronics, and depending upon the project undertaken, a number of tools and components may be needed accordingly. However there are some basic tools and electronic components which are needed in almost all electronic projects and are a 'must have.'
The first thing to consider is the type of circuit board being used. The circuit board is what the circuit is assembled upon and connected. There are three main types of circuit boards - the breadboard, the stripboard, and the printed circuit board.
The breadboard is used for making temporary circuits and does not require soldering whereas the other two types are both permanent and require the parts to be soldered on to them.
When working on printed circuit boards or stripboards, the first tool that is required is a soldering iron. Along with the soldering iron, a solder stand, reel of solder, and solder removal wick would also be required.
In addition to the above, side cutters are required for trimming the component leads, and wire strippers for trimming the wires. A small pair of snipe nose pliers is needed for bending leads or holding small parts in place while soldering.
A flat blade screwdriver, heat sink, and electrical drill will also be very useful when working on electronic projects.
In addition to the tools, a number of electronic components are also required depending upon the project. A good collection to start with will contain capacitors, resistors, variable resistors, diodes, transistors, wires, switches, and a power source.
Having these basics will get you started experimenting with electronic circuits.

INTERNET SUCCESS IS A JOURNEY
This post was inspired by a conversation I heard few days ago.Two men were discussing how they had bought several Internet packages and none was working for them.Their conclusion was-internet wealth is a myth.It’s a big lie. All the people selling Internet Marketing information were big liars.
Internet Wealth Is Not a Myth
Regular Guys and Girls are making a huge income online.Just see this list of 10 millionaires under 30.
1. Mark Zuckerberg - Facebook - $700 Million – 23 years old
2. Andrew Gower - Runescape - $650 Million – 28 years old
3. Chad Hurley - youtube –$300 Million – 30 years old
4. Blake Ross and David Hyatt - Mozilla - $120 Million – 22 years old
5. Andrew Michael - Fast Hosts - $110 Million – 29 years old
6Angelo Sotira - Deviant ART - $75 Million – 26 years old
7. John Vechey - PopCap Games -$60 Million – 28 year old
8. Alexander Levin - Image Shack - $56 Million – 23years old
9. Jake Nickell - Threadless -$50 Million – 28 years old
10. Greg Tseng and Johann Schleier-Smith - Tagged - $45 Million – 28 years old
Do you now believe it’s possible to make real money online? Well,for me,Internet Business success is a journey and the journey starts from your mindset.
Do You Have a Positive Mindset About Your Internet Business Plans?
Whether you will make money online or not will strongly be determined by your mindset. You see,the moment you develop a negative mindset,nothing can help you.If you know your dream is to make money online,from the word go,please tell yourself,’I CAN DO IT’.Don’t allow any negativity to set in.Tell yourself those who are doing it are not better than you.And truly they are not.They have just paid the price for success and you must also pay it for you to experience success.A positive mindset will help you overcome the challenges of Internet Business but a negative one will drain your energy.Avoid it like a plague.
Accept 100% Responsibility for Your Internet Business Success
Most of us are in the habit of blaming others for our inability to breakthrough online.You see,you are where you are because you have not acted upon your dreams.The moment you start accepting responsibility for your life and finances,you will stop blaming others and start working assiduously towards achieving your financial dreams.You see,the seminar facilitator(am not trying to hold up for people who hold wishy-washy seminars) is not to blame,neither is your mentor.You are.Whatever you want to become online,you can.Whatever you want to make online,you can.YOU CAN,I mean it because the Internet is the greatest leveler.It has leveled the playing ground for all and sundry.In the past,millionaires were bank MDs and Oil Moguls but the story has changed due to the technology called the Internet.Today,young chaps are millionaires(legitimately).You can also leverage on the Internet technology to make real cash.
Internet Cash Is Not for the Desperate
I say this because every day,I hear people say ‘just show me a business which can be bringing me money daily’. For most people,money comes after some months or even a year.Why? There is an aspect of learning attached to Internet Business.It is only after you have passed the learning curve that you can make real money.Most people are not interested in learning,it’s just the cash they want but it doesn’t work that way.You must first of all commit yourself to learning just like a Mechanic Apprentice before you can expect any results.
Internet Business Demands A Huge Dose of Smartness
Chances are that you have invested in some qualitative programs and you are on the learning curve but somehow,things don’t work in your favour.You’ve got to be smart at this point to know what next to do.Either to abandon that particular business or tweak your approach a little.After all,it was not the first woman you dated you married.You probably dated several women and ended up marrying one,so,be patient with your Internet business dreams,give way for adventure and then settle for the one that brings you the highest returns.
I must say at this point that Internet Business is in no way different from offline business.If you have an offline business and you have a challenge,you tweak your approach until you achieve your goal.Do the same for your Internet Business but don’t start your Internet Business only when you are in a deep financial crisis.Start it when you are buoyant financially,that way,your business will take care of your Internet expenses until it starts yielding. However,there are no certainties in Internet Business.That’s why I have a problem with people asking me how much they can earn if they do Internet Business.You can make a lot of money if you really work hard but if you don’t play according to the rules of the game.
Are You Ready to Pay the Price of Success?
Success demands your ability to pay the price. Are you willing to pay the price of success? It may demand sleepless nights,browsing many hours,sitting on your bum,etc.Are you ready to pay the price? If you are,then you have half of what you need to succeed online.
Take That First Step Today!
After all,”the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.” (quote by Lao Tzu). One step at a time, one problem at a time. It may seem obvious, but many of us do not proceed in this way. Until you take that first step,I am afraid nothing will happen for you.

How to Buy Low Cost Online Electronics
When we shop online for low cost electronics, we shop for anything from laptops to cell phones. How do you know that you are getting the best deal? What are the best places to shop online when shopping for low cost electronics? People want to save money on electronics, but don't know how to do it and where to shop for some great deals. Pay attention closely, as you are about to learn the essentials of shopping for low cost online electronics.
The first thing you need to know is the regular value of the product that you are purchasing. If it is newer type of high tech gadget, then it is likely to be a little bit pricier, especially more so than something that has been around for a longer amount of time. Do your research on your desired product that you wish to find and how much it usually goes for on the regular market. Look your product up on several different websites and call a couple of stores that might have it on their shelves. Be sure to compare prices at all of the places that you check. Try to do as much research as possible before making a decision.
Oftentimes, auction websites such as Amazon or eBay are really great sites for finding bargain deals on electronics because you are able to bid on the price and pay only what you want for it. If the price gets too high, you do not have to bid on it. There are several other places other than the internet that you can find discount deals on high quality electronics such as pawn shops and local thrift stores. You would be amazed at what you can find if you arrive early enough before the crowd of bargain hunters arrive. Yard sales and flea markets are also another great place to look for low cost electronics. Liquidation sales for stores going out of business are a great source for saving on home electronics.
Some things to avoid when bargain hunting for electronics is giving into regular store prices. Some sales associates will try to talk you into buying something that is way too high for you to afford, and who can blame them? They are just doing their jobs. It isn't hurting them that you are paying hundreds of dollars extra for something you can find much cheaper. Do not let sales people who are just "doing their jobs" take advantage of you. If you know someone who owns a computer store, then try asking them from what wholesale distributor do they purchase their electronics. By doing this, you could potentially save thousands within a year or more.
The stated price on an electronic item is not always the price that you have to pay. If you notice that the price is just too high on a particular electronic, try stating to the sales associate or store owner that you would love to buy a particular product, but only if the price is dropped to a lower cost. You would be surprised at how much people will work to please you as a customer, knowing that you will return for future purchases in the future. Bottom line - Do not let sales persons take advantage of you or try to tell you if you don't buy the item now, it will be gone tomorrow. There is a better, cheaper way.
Last, but not least you are going to wind up saving yourself a fortune once you stumble into your gold mine of low cost electronics. Be patient and arm yourself with the knowledge with what you want, what you are willing to pay, and stick to the budget you set for yourself. Not only will you have the latest and cheapest high tech quality gadgets, but you will also be able to use the hundreds or even thousands of dollars left over for the other things in your life that you need. With the economy looking like it is right now, we need all of the saving, budgeting, and bargaining that we can stand. So whether you are looking for the latest technology to complete your home office, or are buying a brand new home computer for yourself, spouse, or family member, searching for a bargain is a must in today's society. Once a bargain has been found, the feeling truly is priceless.
The first thing you need to know is the regular value of the product that you are purchasing.

It isn't hurting them that you are paying hundreds of dollars extra for something you can find much cheaper. Do not let sales people who are just "doing their jobs" take advantage of you. If you know someone who owns a computer store, then try asking them from what wholesale distributor do they purchase their electronics. By doing this, you could potentially save thousands within a year or more.
The stated price on an electronic item is not always the price that you have to pay. If you notice that the price is just too high on a particular electronic, try stating to the sales associate or store owner that you would love to buy a particular product, but only if the price is dropped to a lower cost. You would be surprised at how much people will work to please you as a customer, knowing that you will return for future purchases in the future. Bottom line - Do not let sales persons take advantage of you or try to tell you if you don't buy the item now, it will be gone tomorrow. There is a better, cheaper way.
Last, but not least you are going to wind up saving yourself a fortune once you stumble into your gold mine of low cost electronics. Be patient and arm yourself with the knowledge with what you want, what you are willing to pay, and stick to the budget you set for yourself. Not only will you have the latest and cheapest high tech quality gadgets, but you will also be able to use the hundreds or even thousands of dollars left over for the other things in your life that you need. With the economy looking like it is right now, we need all of the saving, budgeting, and bargaining that we can stand. So whether you are looking for the latest technology to complete your home office, or are buying a brand new home computer for yourself, spouse, or family member, searching for a bargain is a must in today's society. Once a bargain has been found, the feeling truly is priceless.

Dive Computers: Types and Styles
A scuba diving computer can be a divers best friend. It will allow you to stay down longer than if you were diving off of tables. There are many types and/or styles of dive computers you can choose from. Which one is best is really personal preference and is suited to the way you dive. The following are some of the choices you will have when purchasing your dive computer.
Console Dive Computer
A console dive computer is attached to the rest of the equipment via a hose. The console dive computers typically come with a pressure gauge. The readouts are typically larger than on a wrist dive computer so they can also be easier on the eyes.
There are also options for a scuba dive computer to be mounted on your hose (this is the type we currently use) or clip onto your BC. Choose whichever is more comfortable for you and fits into your price range.
Wrist Dive Computer
The wrist dive computer is very popular. These types of computers look like large watches and are worn on the wrist. They will tell you all you need to know at a glance. Some wrist dive computers are also able to be mounted in a console.
Sometimes the faces may be a bit small for all the information the computer can display, so make sure you will be able to read it underwater.
Unless they are air integrated and wireless (see below) wrist dive computers usually do not come with a pressure gauge. One small disadvantage here is that these can be pretty easy to misplace/lose.
Air Integrated Dive Computer
Air integrated dive computers are becoming more commonplace. An air integrated computer measures the tank pressure and then calculates how much more time you have left at the current rate of air consumpetion. The air integrated dive computer will tell you how much time you can spend at any exertion level.
An air integrated computer replaces the need for a submersible pressure gauge (SPG). One downside of an air integrated computer is that if it fails, you lose information on how much air you have left in your tank. Dive over.
Nitrox Dive Computer
With nitrox diving becoming more and more common, so are computers that are nitrox compatible. Even if you aren't diving with nitrox now, if you are even thinking of diving with nitrox in the future, it is probably worth it to purchase a nitrox dive computer. This will save you the expense of buying a whole new computer in the future. However, if don't think you will ever dive with nitrox, then there is no reason to pay for this feature. A standard air computer is probably $100+ less than its nitrox counterpart.
Hoseless Dive Computer
The hoseless dive computer consists of the receiver (typically worn on the wrist or mounted on the BC) and a transmitor. The transmitor attaches to the high pressure port of the regulator first stage and then sends your air information, wirelessly, to the receiver. The receiver looks the same as normal dive computers.
This setup cuts down on the number of hoses you need. There are now even hoseless dive computers that can accept signal from multiple transmitors - so you can even keep an eye on your buddies air consumption. Of course, this capability is really for the more advanced technical divers who may use different tanks on one dive. And, of course, we are talking some pretty high price tags here.
So just think about how you dive and what capabilities you need. The right dive computer for one person can be completely wrong for another person. Choose one that you are comfortable with and one that is right for you wallet.

History of the Media, Radio, and Television
When were the forms of media created? When did advertising first show up? Who owns the media?
Creation of the various forms of media
*
Newspapers & Magazines ~ 1880
*
Movies ~ 1910
*
Television ~ 1945
*
Cable Television ~ 1980's
*
Satellite Television, Internet, Digital Communication ~ End of the 20th century
In 1920, radio was first developed, primarily for use by the military, strictly for sendingHistory of the Media - Old Radios messages from one location to another. David Sternoff, the then-president of RCA, first had the idea to sell radio sets to consumers, or what were then called radio receivers. However, consumers needed a reason to buy radios, so RCA was the first to set up radio stations all over the country. Between 1920 and 1922, 400 radio stations were set up, starting with KBKA in Pittsburgh. Stations were also set up by universities, newspapers, police departments, hotels, and labor unions.
*
By 1923, there were 600 radio stations across the United States, and $83 million worth of sets had been sold.
The biggest difference in radio before and after 1923 was that the first advertising was not heard on the radio until 1923. RCA at the time was made up of four companies:
*
AT&T
*
General Electric
*
United Fruit
*
Westinghouse
United Fruit was one of the first global corporations, and one of the first to advertise on the radio. The AT&T division of RCA first thought about selling time on the air to companies, which marked the start of "toll broadcasting." WEAF was the first station to operate this way, causing widespread outrage, and accusation of "polluting the airwaves."
Because of this controversy, the practice of selling advertising time was called "trade name publicity." Sponsors linked their name with a program on the air, rather than advertising a specific product in a 30 second "commercial" as we know it today.
Why did AT&T decide to experiment with charging companies for air time?
AT&T was not making any money from broadcasting at the time since they only made transmitters, not receivers. They only made money when new radio stations bought the equipment required to broadcast. They did not make money from consumers buying radios.
AT&T also started the practice of paying performers for their time on the air, rather than only volunteers, which was standard practice for radio content up until that point.
The first radio network
In 1926, RCA set up the first radio network, NBC. They decided it was more effective and efficient to produce shows in New York City, and then link the main radio station with stations all across the country, connected by AT&T (another RCA company) phone lines. (Now television networks are linked by satellite to their affiliates).
This was the beginning of the network affiliates system. The ideal network makes sure everyone in the country is capable of listening to their signal. NBC at the time had two philosophies:
*
Radio content was a "public service," whose function was to sell radios.
*
Radio content was designed to generate income from advertising.
History of the Media In 1927, the second network was formed. It was CBS, started by William Paley. Paley was the first to think that networks could make money strictly from advertising, not even getting involved in the sales of radios. Like AT&T, CBS did not make radios. From the start, they made their money from selling advertising.
The rising of radio networks caused the Radio Act of 1927 to be passed, which established the FRC, or what is now known as the FCC, to allocate broadcast licenses. The need for such an organization was brought on by the fact that airwaves are limited resources, and broadcasting itself is a scarce public resource. By the 1930's, the structure of radio have been set by the commercial format, although advertising never dominated radio like it would television later on.
In the 1920's and '30's, radio programs were divided into two groups. Sponsored shows, which had advertisers, and unsponsored shows, which did not. The radio station paid for the unsponsored shows. The sponsored shows, on the other hand, were created entirely by the company sponsoring the show; advertisers were totally in charge of the radio station's content. The content became advertising. Radio set the precedent for television, in that the same companies that controlled radio early on went on to control television.
Soon thereafter, television inherited the structure of radio. In the '40's, during the rise of television, RCA also held a monopoly on all television sets sold. By 1945-1955, advertising had taken over all of television. Television was organized around the premise of selling things. The entire television industry was creating a political atmosphere of suspicion and fear. Senator Joseph McCarthy, the founder of McCarthyism, which was based on the fear of Communism, and the HUAC (House Un-American Activities Committee, began to question people involved in television about their beliefs and associations.
What affected television in its early stages?
*
Politics (McCarthyism / HUAC).
*
Blacklists: From almost the inception of television, many writers, directors, and actors were considered to be pro-Communist and/or un-American.
Certain topics were totally off-limits at the time for television, particularly issues of race relations in the 1960's. Overall, networks were not happy with the political situation for television in the 1960's, both in terms of the blacklists, and of the fact that when every show had one sponsor, that sponsor controlled the entire program. Networks preferred to control the program, by way of moving to multiple sponsors/advertisers, where networks would retain control of the show, and advertisers would buy time in between the programming.
In the 1950's, networks decided to eliminate the practice of sponsors controlling the shows with a move to spot selling, or advertisements between programs, as we know it today. What caused the move to spot selling?
1.
Discovery of fraud in the quiz shows on television. Quiz shows were extremely popular at the time, and were liked by the networks, the sponsors, and the viewers alike. It turned out, however, that quiz shows were largely fixed. Charles Van Doren on "21" became a huge star due to his repeated wins, until it came out that the whole thing had been fixed. In the case of "The $64,000 Question," the owner of Revlon was personally hand-selecting the winners and losers on the show.
2.
It was becoming financially difficult for just one advertiser to support an entire show.
Around this same time came the inception of ratings to measure a show's popularity. Ratings, quite simply, measure the number of people watching a show. To understand why ratings are so important, it's crucial to understand how the television industry works, through three questions, and their respective answers:
1.
Who owns television? [The networks]
2.
What is sold on television? [Viewer's time, not television shows]
3.
Who are the customers of television? [Advertisers, not viewers]
This might be a counterintuitive concept for some. The networks, which own television, areHistory of the Media - Old Television the buyers of shows, not the sellers. On the other hand, they sell our eyeballs, so to speak, to advertisers. Networks want the maximum possible profit from buying and selling time, both viewers' time, and advertisers' time.
The primary measure of television ratings, which determine the price of that time being bought and sold, is AC Nielsen, an independent company which provides information as to who watches what on television. Currently, about 4,000 households are used to represent the national viewing of television. In the 1980's, only 1,200 households were used. Some households have an electronic device installed on their television which tracks what they watch, while others keep a diary of viewing habits.
There are two measures for determining a show's audience. One is the rating, and the other is the share.
*
Rating: Percentage of total homes with televisions tuned into a particular show.
*
Share: Percentage of those watching television at a particular time who are tuned into a particular show.
The share is always greater than the rating. Ratings are more important for advertisers, and share is more important to the networks.
Example:
*
Total households with televisions: 150 million
*
Total households watching television at 8pm on Monday nights: 90 million
*
Total households watching American Idol at 8pm on Monday nights: 45 million
*
Therefore: Rating: 30, Share: 50
It's important to note how many factors can skew the results. Shows cost producers much more than the networks typically pay them for those shows. The way for producers to make money is by getting the networks to renew the show, in order to have a shot at making money from syndication on other channels, also knows as reruns. That is the case when individual stations (say for example, the Miami affiliate of ABC wants to carry Seinfeld), buy the rights to a show from the producers of that show. Shows that last only one season, for the most part, lose millions of dollars. One of the most important factors in whether shows will be renewed or not is their rating.
This brings us to how ratings can be skewed. For example, if a show has a 20 share, and it needs a 25 share to be renewed for another season, what might the producers do? In principle, they need to convince another 5% of the people watching television when their show is on to watch their show; this is no simple task, as that involves convincing millions of people. However, since the ratings are based on those 4,000 Nielsen households, that means that they could convince just 200 Nielsen households to watch their show, which would increase the share from 20 to 25. This is why Nielsen households must be kept totally secret from the networks. When the Nielsen households have leaked to the networks, one way which they got people to watch their show was by offering viewers a small sum of money for filling out a survey about a commercial which they were told would play only during a particular show. Since they had to watch that channel while their show was on, this would boost the share.
Once ratings are determined, advertising prices are set by two factors:
* The size of the audience.
* The demographics (income, age, gender, occupation, etc) of the audience.
In short, the job of television programs is to collect our time as a product, which they then sell to advertisers. Programs have to support the advertising, delivering viewers in the best possible state of mind for buying when the time for the commercials comes, which brings us to the Golden Age of Television.
The 1950's are considered the "Golden Age of Television." During this time, something called the "Anthology Series," where different actors each week took part in a show gained History of the Media - I Love Lucypopularity across the board...that is, with everyone except for advertisers. The anthology series format was not right for advertisers, as it covered topics which involved psychological confrontations which did not leave the viewers in the proper state of mind for buying the products shown to them between program segments. The subject matter of the anthology series was of the type that undermined the ads, almost making them seem fraudulent.
This brought up the question of what to network executives actually want shows to do? The answer is not to watch a program that makes them feel good, makes them laugh, or excites them, but rather to watch the television for a set amount of time. With so many new shows being proposed, standards began to be intentionally, or unintentionally, laid out for what shows could and couldn't do. Risks could only be taken at the beginning and/or end of shows. Laugh tracks were conceived to tell the audience when to laugh. Programs began being tested with audiences prior to being put on television and/or radio. Show writers now had to write shows that would test well.
Naturally, this caused many of the same elements and themes to appear in all shows. This was the beginning of recombinant television culture, where the same elements are endlessly repeated, recombined, and mixed.
This same culture is what perpetuated the idea that people watch television, not specific shows. While people certainly choose to watch certain shows instead of others, people less commonly choose to watch television instead of other things. People watch television. Regardless of what was on, television viewing rates were extremely stable.

Creation of the various forms of media
*
Newspapers & Magazines ~ 1880
*
Movies ~ 1910
*
Television ~ 1945
*
Cable Television ~ 1980's
*
Satellite Television, Internet, Digital Communication ~ End of the 20th century
In 1920, radio was first developed, primarily for use by the military, strictly for sendingHistory of the Media - Old Radios messages from one location to another. David Sternoff, the then-president of RCA, first had the idea to sell radio sets to consumers, or what were then called radio receivers. However, consumers needed a reason to buy radios, so RCA was the first to set up radio stations all over the country. Between 1920 and 1922, 400 radio stations were set up, starting with KBKA in Pittsburgh. Stations were also set up by universities, newspapers, police departments, hotels, and labor unions.
*
By 1923, there were 600 radio stations across the United States, and $83 million worth of sets had been sold.
The biggest difference in radio before and after 1923 was that the first advertising was not heard on the radio until 1923. RCA at the time was made up of four companies:
*
AT&T
*
General Electric
*
United Fruit
*
Westinghouse
United Fruit was one of the first global corporations, and one of the first to advertise on the radio. The AT&T division of RCA first thought about selling time on the air to companies, which marked the start of "toll broadcasting." WEAF was the first station to operate this way, causing widespread outrage, and accusation of "polluting the airwaves."
Because of this controversy, the practice of selling advertising time was called "trade name publicity." Sponsors linked their name with a program on the air, rather than advertising a specific product in a 30 second "commercial" as we know it today.
Why did AT&T decide to experiment with charging companies for air time?
AT&T was not making any money from broadcasting at the time since they only made transmitters, not receivers. They only made money when new radio stations bought the equipment required to broadcast. They did not make money from consumers buying radios.
AT&T also started the practice of paying performers for their time on the air, rather than only volunteers, which was standard practice for radio content up until that point.
The first radio network
In 1926, RCA set up the first radio network, NBC. They decided it was more effective and efficient to produce shows in New York City, and then link the main radio station with stations all across the country, connected by AT&T (another RCA company) phone lines. (Now television networks are linked by satellite to their affiliates).
This was the beginning of the network affiliates system. The ideal network makes sure everyone in the country is capable of listening to their signal. NBC at the time had two philosophies:
*
Radio content was a "public service," whose function was to sell radios.
*
Radio content was designed to generate income from advertising.
History of the Media In 1927, the second network was formed. It was CBS, started by William Paley. Paley was the first to think that networks could make money strictly from advertising, not even getting involved in the sales of radios. Like AT&T, CBS did not make radios. From the start, they made their money from selling advertising.
The rising of radio networks caused the Radio Act of 1927 to be passed, which established the FRC, or what is now known as the FCC, to allocate broadcast licenses. The need for such an organization was brought on by the fact that airwaves are limited resources, and broadcasting itself is a scarce public resource. By the 1930's, the structure of radio have been set by the commercial format, although advertising never dominated radio like it would television later on.
In the 1920's and '30's, radio programs were divided into two groups. Sponsored shows, which had advertisers, and unsponsored shows, which did not. The radio station paid for the unsponsored shows. The sponsored shows, on the other hand, were created entirely by the company sponsoring the show; advertisers were totally in charge of the radio station's content. The content became advertising. Radio set the precedent for television, in that the same companies that controlled radio early on went on to control television.
Soon thereafter, television inherited the structure of radio. In the '40's, during the rise of television, RCA also held a monopoly on all television sets sold. By 1945-1955, advertising had taken over all of television. Television was organized around the premise of selling things. The entire television industry was creating a political atmosphere of suspicion and fear. Senator Joseph McCarthy, the founder of McCarthyism, which was based on the fear of Communism, and the HUAC (House Un-American Activities Committee, began to question people involved in television about their beliefs and associations.
What affected television in its early stages?
*
Politics (McCarthyism / HUAC).
*
Blacklists: From almost the inception of television, many writers, directors, and actors were considered to be pro-Communist and/or un-American.
Certain topics were totally off-limits at the time for television, particularly issues of race relations in the 1960's. Overall, networks were not happy with the political situation for television in the 1960's, both in terms of the blacklists, and of the fact that when every show had one sponsor, that sponsor controlled the entire program. Networks preferred to control the program, by way of moving to multiple sponsors/advertisers, where networks would retain control of the show, and advertisers would buy time in between the programming.
In the 1950's, networks decided to eliminate the practice of sponsors controlling the shows with a move to spot selling, or advertisements between programs, as we know it today. What caused the move to spot selling?
1.
Discovery of fraud in the quiz shows on television. Quiz shows were extremely popular at the time, and were liked by the networks, the sponsors, and the viewers alike. It turned out, however, that quiz shows were largely fixed. Charles Van Doren on "21" became a huge star due to his repeated wins, until it came out that the whole thing had been fixed. In the case of "The $64,000 Question," the owner of Revlon was personally hand-selecting the winners and losers on the show.
2.
It was becoming financially difficult for just one advertiser to support an entire show.
Around this same time came the inception of ratings to measure a show's popularity. Ratings, quite simply, measure the number of people watching a show. To understand why ratings are so important, it's crucial to understand how the television industry works, through three questions, and their respective answers:
1.
Who owns television? [The networks]
2.
What is sold on television? [Viewer's time, not television shows]
3.
Who are the customers of television? [Advertisers, not viewers]
This might be a counterintuitive concept for some. The networks, which own television, areHistory of the Media - Old Television the buyers of shows, not the sellers. On the other hand, they sell our eyeballs, so to speak, to advertisers. Networks want the maximum possible profit from buying and selling time, both viewers' time, and advertisers' time.
The primary measure of television ratings, which determine the price of that time being bought and sold, is AC Nielsen, an independent company which provides information as to who watches what on television. Currently, about 4,000 households are used to represent the national viewing of television. In the 1980's, only 1,200 households were used. Some households have an electronic device installed on their television which tracks what they watch, while others keep a diary of viewing habits.
There are two measures for determining a show's audience. One is the rating, and the other is the share.
*
Rating: Percentage of total homes with televisions tuned into a particular show.
*
Share: Percentage of those watching television at a particular time who are tuned into a particular show.
The share is always greater than the rating. Ratings are more important for advertisers, and share is more important to the networks.
Example:
*
Total households with televisions: 150 million
*
Total households watching television at 8pm on Monday nights: 90 million
*
Total households watching American Idol at 8pm on Monday nights: 45 million
*
Therefore: Rating: 30, Share: 50
It's important to note how many factors can skew the results. Shows cost producers much more than the networks typically pay them for those shows. The way for producers to make money is by getting the networks to renew the show, in order to have a shot at making money from syndication on other channels, also knows as reruns. That is the case when individual stations (say for example, the Miami affiliate of ABC wants to carry Seinfeld), buy the rights to a show from the producers of that show. Shows that last only one season, for the most part, lose millions of dollars. One of the most important factors in whether shows will be renewed or not is their rating.
This brings us to how ratings can be skewed. For example, if a show has a 20 share, and it needs a 25 share to be renewed for another season, what might the producers do? In principle, they need to convince another 5% of the people watching television when their show is on to watch their show; this is no simple task, as that involves convincing millions of people. However, since the ratings are based on those 4,000 Nielsen households, that means that they could convince just 200 Nielsen households to watch their show, which would increase the share from 20 to 25. This is why Nielsen households must be kept totally secret from the networks. When the Nielsen households have leaked to the networks, one way which they got people to watch their show was by offering viewers a small sum of money for filling out a survey about a commercial which they were told would play only during a particular show. Since they had to watch that channel while their show was on, this would boost the share.
Once ratings are determined, advertising prices are set by two factors:
* The size of the audience.
* The demographics (income, age, gender, occupation, etc) of the audience.
In short, the job of television programs is to collect our time as a product, which they then sell to advertisers. Programs have to support the advertising, delivering viewers in the best possible state of mind for buying when the time for the commercials comes, which brings us to the Golden Age of Television.
The 1950's are considered the "Golden Age of Television." During this time, something called the "Anthology Series," where different actors each week took part in a show gained History of the Media - I Love Lucypopularity across the board...that is, with everyone except for advertisers. The anthology series format was not right for advertisers, as it covered topics which involved psychological confrontations which did not leave the viewers in the proper state of mind for buying the products shown to them between program segments. The subject matter of the anthology series was of the type that undermined the ads, almost making them seem fraudulent.

Keeping Electronics Clean
Dust on precious and expensive electronic gadgets is every owner's nightmare. Due to their electrostatic nature, your electronic gadgets tend to attract dust very easily and if not cleaned regularly, their performance could be affected. Dirty electronics can lead to operational errors and shortened life spans.
It is always advisable to read through the user manual before you start cleaning your electronic devices. In case of any doubts, always take the recommendations of an electrician or the manufacturer.

While cleaning any type of electronic gadget, always unplug the connection before you start cleaning it to avoid any surprises! Check for any cuts as ignoring these could cause electric shocks or short circuits. Always pay extra attention to parts like the screen or any circuits inside or outside your electronic gadgets. Never pour or spray fluids onto or into electronic devices. Always place the liquid on a soft cloth before applying.

Soft cloth (preferably electrostatic) or micro fiber cloth (in case of CD or DVD cleaning), Isopropyl alcohol, screwdriver, compressed air or mini-vacuum cleaner or drier, ammonia free glass cleaner, cotton swabs are some of the materials you need to have on hand, when you get around to cleaning your electronic gadgets and devices. However, in case of computer fans, be extra careful as the compressed air could damage or increase the speed of the fan. Preferably, use a vacuum cleaner to clean the fan in a computer, CD/DVD players or recorders, so that the dust does not blow into sensitive mechanisms. Use mild cleanser to clean any stains on your gadgets, but ensure you blow-dry it before you connect it back.
Taking simple precautionary measures when cleaning your electronic devices, not only helps to maintain the device's life, but also gives you a great feeling of satisfaction in owning clean, working equipment. So the next time your DVD player or your computer fan start acting funny, you know what you have to do!
