Course overview

Technical English is one of the subjects in first stage of computer

department at Science College. Student must study this subject during the

full study-year. This course is intended for both students of computing and

those working in the computing sector. It is suitable for students at

intermediate level who need to upgrade their knowledge of English in a

professional context. This course provides language and communication

skills specifically designed to help students from the College of Computing

and Technology meet the demands of their courses of study.

Computer mouse turns 40

The computer mouse celebrated its 40th anniversary on December the 8th. It was in 1968 that computer visionary Douglas Engelbart showed off his new invention to an audience of 1,000 at a technology conference in California. They witnessed the very first public demonstration of the personal computer. Engelbart’s revolutionary ‘pointing device’ was made of wood and had two wheels built into the bottom. It was originally designed to highlight text on a written document. Engelbart wowed onlookers by demonstrating how text could be selected, copied and pasted. Engelbart said he always wondered why the term ‘mouse’ never changed into a more technical word after it became a commercial success.

Today computer mice or mouses (both are widely accepted as plurals) are absolutely everywhere. The only real changes to their technology in the past four decades are the transition to laser mice, the right-click button, and the scroll wheel. It looks like mice are here to stay, despite new innovations such as touch screens. Experts say the mouse is still difficult to beat in terms of ease of use and functionality. On the mouse’s 40th birthday, computer-device maker Logitech announced it had produced its one-billionth mouse. The Swiss company churns out nearly 8 million mice a month. The pioneer, Douglas Engelbart, has never received a penny for his world-changing invention. His patent ran out before computer companies started mass-producing mice.

Q2) TRUE / FALSE:

Look at the article’s headline and guess whether these sentences are true (T) or false (F):

a. The computer mouse just celebrated its 40th birthday. T / Fb. Just a handful of people saw the first mouse at a California conference. T / Fc. The inventor initially designed the mouse to play computer games. T / F

Page 21: Course Book final for English.doc

d. The mouse’s inventor is surprised people stuck with the word ‘mouse’. T / Fe. The plural ‘mouses’ is grammatically incorrect. T / Ff. There have been three major changes to the mouse in its history. T / Fg. A computer-device maker recently churned out its billionth mouse. T / Fh. The mouse’s inventor made a fortune from his creation. T / F

A British computer magazine has discovered our computer keyboards could be bad for our health.

“Which? Computing” asked a laboratory to check 30 keyboards in its London office for bacteria. The

results were shocking, and disgusting. The lab scientists said five of the keyboards they tested put people

at risk of illness. One keyboard contained 150 times more bacteria than health officials say is safe. Its test

Page 22: Course Book final for English.doc

results showed it was five times dirtier than a toilet seat. The researchers said the germs they found could

easily cause symptoms similar to food poisoning, such as diarrhoea and upset stomachs. They named

these illnesses “QWERTY tummy,” after the first six letters on the keyboard. The magazine

recommended people clean their keyboards regularly to stay healthy and avoid stomach bugs.

The magazine said almost half the people they interviewed cleaned their keyboard

less than once a month. Ten percent of people said they never cleaned it. Editor,

Researchers, warned: “Most people don't give much thought to the [dirt] that builds up on

their PC….But if you don’t clean your computer; you might as well eat your lunch off the

dirt.” The main causes of germs and bacteria are crumbs and other small pieces of food

that drop onto the keys while workers eat at their desks. Oily fingers from eating potato

chips and fries also attract bacteria.

Computer mouse turns 40

The computer mouse celebrated its 40th anniversary on December the 8th. It was in 1968 that computer visionary Douglas Engelbart showed off his new invention to an audience of 1,000 at a technology conference in California. They witnessed the very first public demonstration of the personal computer. Engelbart’s revolutionary ‘pointing device’ was made of wood and had two wheels built into the bottom. It was originally designed to highlight text on a written document. Engelbart wowed onlookers by demonstrating how text could be selected, copied and pasted. Engelbart said he always wondered why the term ‘mouse’ never changed into a more technical word after it became a commercial success.

Today computer mice or mouses (both are widely accepted as plurals) are absolutely everywhere. The only real changes to their technology in the past four decades are the transition to laser mice, the right-click button, and the scroll wheel. It looks like mice are here to stay, despite new innovations such as touch screens. Experts say the mouse is still difficult to beat in terms of ease of use and functionality. On the mouse’s 40th birthday, computer-device maker Logitech announced it had produced its one-billionth mouse. The Swiss company churns out nearly 8 million mice a month. The pioneer, Douglas Engelbart, has never received a penny for his world-changing invention. His patent ran out before computer companies started mass-producing mice.

A British computer magazine has discovered our computer keyboards could be bad for our health.

“Which? Computing” asked a laboratory to check 30 keyboards in its London office for bacteria. The

Page 31: Course Book final for English.doc

results were shocking, and disgusting. The lab scientists said five of the keyboards they tested put people

at risk of illness. One keyboard contained 150 times more bacteria than health officials say is safe. Its test

results showed it was five times dirtier than a toilet seat. The researchers said the germs they found could

easily cause symptoms similar to food poisoning, such as diarrhoea and upset stomachs. They named

these illnesses “QWERTY tummy,” after the first six letters on the keyboard. The magazine

recommended people clean their keyboards regularly to stay healthy and avoid stomach bugs.

The magazine said almost half the people they interviewed cleaned their keyboard

less than once a month. Ten percent of people said they never cleaned it. Editor,

Researchers, warned: “Most people don't give much thought to the [dirt] that builds up on

their PC….But if you don’t clean your computer; you might as well eat your lunch off the

dirt.” The main causes of germs and bacteria are crumbs and other small pieces of food

that drop onto the keys while workers eat at their desks. Oily fingers from eating potato

chips and fries also attract bacteria.

I remember the day as if it were yesterday. During my second year in college, I was attempting to

transmit a group of characters comprising my name from one computer to another. I connected

the computers using RS-232 cable, wrote the necessary programs and executed them. I typed my

name on one terminal and rushed to the other to see the results. "Wow, this is magic!" I exclaimed

as I read 'SHVAN' on the screen. While I realized intuitively that a complex version of this

elementary network could achieve much, at the time I had no real idea what. Now, four years

later, I know that Networking makes possible a plethora of applications, from video-conferencing

over the Internet to linking banks through private networks. It still seems like magic. Or rather, a
