One of the first things we learn at school is our ABC’s, but do we ever learn where the alphabet originates? It is known as the Latin alphabet, so why has it got a Greek name? Plus it was not invented by the Greeks. Where does it originate from? Egypt, Samaria and the Origins of Writing It seems that writing originated in Mesopotamia and also ancient Egypt, where both were developed independent of each other, and they are notably very different. Hieroglyphs. The ancient Egyptians created a very different

The purpose of this essay will be to examine which writing system is more desirable, semanto-phonetic writing or alphabetical writing. In order to get better understanding in this thesis statement, semanto-phonetic writing and alphabetical writing should be broadly defined. Alphabetic writing systems represent the phonological structure of the language while the symbols used in semanto-phonetic writing systems often represent both sound and meaning. Semanto-phonetic writing is more desirable than
faster and able to store more information, we’ve been able to develop longer lists of encoding rules. Today, most programs use one set of rules for human languages: Unicode. The global organization managing these rules is the Unicode Consortium [https://unicode.org/]. They continually add to a master chart of encoding rules called the Unicode Standard. This standard contains a unique identifying name for each character we type in our electronic devices. So far, the list has 136,690 characters spanning
2. $FILE_NAME Contains the file name in UNICODE, as well as additional MAC times, and the MFT entry of the parent directory. 3. $OBJECT_ID Identifiers regarding the files original Object ID, its birth Volume
When writing, the Cherokee people used a font and word type they titled the “Digohweli Cherokee Unicode” and was designed to be an easy-to-read, all-purpose font. When speaking vocally, they used a form of Iroquoian language, more specifically, they took inspiration from southern Iroquoian language. Even though the Cherokee language takes heavy inspiration
The History of Mobile Communications (Aundrea) The history of mobile communications has made a huge impact on how we live our lives on a day to day basis. Who would have thought that a small piece of equipment, had great influences in our society and the world. This all began in the 1940 's, when Bell Laboratories introduced the United States and Canada to the idea of cellular technology. One of the largest communication companies, Motorola was the first company to embark on this technology
Social media sites are also an alternative to texting since they serve the same functions. Twitter, for example, adopted the short character format, which helped the text message phenomenon (Erickson). Social media, chat, email, Skype, Oovoo and other forms of online communication have widen options for texting. Other way for texting is iMessage on an iPhone, which uses data. Social media makes it a lot easier for users to communicate. We can see if contacts are available or not to talk with rather
2.1.1. Readability Readability refers to the ability of a program to be understood by the target user. The fundamental elements in readability are the language syntax and how it is related to the problem domain of the programming language. For example, in general purpose languages as Java or C where target users are mainly developers or engineers, the syntax is close to logical and machine instructions. In contrast, in the design of Domain Specific Programming Languages (DSL) the reduction of the
Intrusion Detection Systems In 1980, James Anderson’s paper, Computer Security Threat Monitoring and Surveillance, bore the notion of intrusion detection. Through government funding and serious corporate interest allowed for intrusion detection systems(IDS) to develope into their current state. So what exactly is IDS? An IDS is used to detect malicious network traffic and computer usage through attack signatures. The IDS watches for attacks not only from incoming internet traffic but also for
INTRODUCTION In this report, we have to create a website about the field of study such as Political science, International studies, Anthropology and Sociology in the Faculty of Social Science. The main purpose of the website is to attract using mainly high school students to study Social Science as a field choice in the future. In this work, we have chosen the field of Anthropology and Sociology to our website. Our group name is “MEDUSA” and our group website is Lovely Anthropology and Sociology

intensive new software investments can be avoided by making use of existing databases and familiar programs. XML can be used with a large assortment of other languages and is not specific to any one operating system or vendor. It is text based and Unicode compliant and can be translated into the many commonly used written languages (Walsh, 2003). This allows for more businesses that run a variety of platforms and operate internationally to take advantage of this technology. Along with XML comes a family
The history of writing has been developing for over thousands of years, and this has not changed to this day. One of the earliest types of writings that was found was the Egyptian’s writing, commonly called hieroglyphics, as early as 3200 B.C. Since then, writing all over the world has evolved from the small images in Africa to many different styles that individuals witness today. From the basic letterings in America, Canada, Australia, and Europe to the advanced symbols in Asia, the Middle East
software "involves computer software designed to translate images of typewritten text (usually captured by a scanner) into machine-editable text, or to translate pictures of characters into a standard encoding scheme representing them in (ASCII or Unicode) (Wikipedia). Another form of data input may be the results of a telephone survey. Since this involves most likely recorded conversations or written surveys filled in by the telephone operator, it may require different methods of input. If the surveys
INTRODUCTION Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by James Gosling and colleagues at Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s. Unlike conventional languages which are generally designed to be compiled to native code, Java is compiled to a bytecode which is then run (generally using JIT compilation) by a Java virtual machine. The language itself borrows much syntax from C and C++ but has a much simpler object model and does away with low level tools like programmer-manipulable
Overview A system for a football club is to be designed that will ensure that the same information has being passed on to all parents of the relevant under-age players with regards to match details. The system is to replace a current text messaging service that has proven to be unsuccessful due to communication issues between team managers and the person in charge of the text system. The system is expected to pass the responsibility of communicating the information to the Football Management System
