New Computer Technologies

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that, in the parlance of computer systems design, the latest trend is not necessarily larger VDTs (Video Display Terminals) but bigger screen devices; therefore, although the 15-inch screen with a resolution of 800 by 600 is recommended, some applications are acceptable with a 640 by 480 resolution. The author points out that not only are computer screens undergoing some very remarkable changes both in appearances and prices but also the days of the VDTs may indeed be numbered. The paper relates Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is important in the wireless industries because it brings an open standard for wireless protocols of every description regardless of the independent vendor or whatever air-link is involved.

From the Paper:

"There is now a software package commercially available that can put any monitor through an exhaustive battery of test images. It's the industry standard Display-Mate program from Sonera Technologies and is specifically designed for testing of 17-inch and 19-inch monitors. Sonera recommends this battery of testing be accomplished before submitting monitors to the jury testing procedure of specific user applications. The program tests HTML mode usage, EXCEL mode and Adobe PDF mode and following jury testing and their deliberations only monitors successfully completing the Sonera testing should be chosen.
Moreover, after exhaustive testing one brand AcerView models 79g and 99c seems to be far and away the most chosen monitors for business class computer applications."
