New Technology and their Released Date.....

NEW TECHNOLOGY AND THEIR RELEASED DATE:

1. What time is it? If you check your smartwatch, you may find that it's a text message past a Twitter notification but if you check the zeitgeist, you'll find that it's wearable tech time.
   After more than a year of relegation to "next big thing" status, the smartwatch is finally breaking out into the mainstream with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Gear and Sony Smartwatch 2 following where Kickstarter phenomenon Pebble led.
   But we're yet to see a watch with true wow-factor and, for that, many are looking to Apple.
   Rumors of an Apple smartwatch have abounded since Pebble first hit the big time. The so-called iWatch has so far failed to materialize in 2013 but will we see Apple get in on the wrist-worn game in 2014?
   
   
   A newly released report hit the Web Monday, fueling iPhone 6 rumors that Apple’s next generation will come in two different sizes. According to the report, the iPhone 6 will come in a 4.7/4.8 inch and a 5.5 inch display version. However, some people are calling foul on the report, citing the flat panel display (FPD) technology as a complete departure from Apple’s previous iPhone displays.

   The report states that both the smaller and larger iPhone 6 FPDs will use IGZO (Indium gallium zinc oxide) screens as opposed to LTPS (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon) displays. Generally speaking, LTPS displays are the industry standard as they provide for longer battery life and brighter resolutions. However, IGZO screens are gaining in popularity in the larger display markets, like tablets and phablets. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3, for example, is equipped with a 12.2 inch IGZO display.
   But Apple has notably stuck with the LTPS screens on the iPhone line due to the faster speed of the screen and subsequently better resolution. The screen size might be the clincher though, as larger LTPS displays are harder to produce. The report also states that the screen resolution will be 440ppi and 510ppi, respectively. This supports the IGZO claim as IGZO offers higher resolution than LTPS at larger sizes.
   Other notable upgrades to the iPhone 6 is a sizeable bump in RAM to 2GB and an upgraded 3.2MP front facing camera. The rear camera will remain at 8MP, according to this report. Still, other rumors (via a Chinese site that sources Taiwan’s industry chain) peg the rear camera to be a 10MP with an improved f/1.8 aperture. The iPhone 5s currently sports an 8MP f/2.2, so if the second rumor is to be believed, the rear camera would not only be getting a sensor upgrade, but completely new hardware.
   The second report also claims the IR filter will be changed to a resin lens filter made by Japanese-based manufacturer JSR. The resin lens filter has better color correction for CMOS sensors, which indicates why the hybrid IR lens would be replaced. Last month, rumors indicated that the iPhone 6 will still sport an 8MP camera instead of jumping into the double digits; however, the camera will have an improved image stabilizer. Still, the iPhone line has featured an 8MP camera since the iPhone 4s, so it stands to reason that Apple would be looking at improving the megapixels instead of just refining current technology.
   The iPhone 6 will be Apple’s eighth mobile smartphone. The iPhone 5s and 5c, Apple’s current offerings, were released in September 2013, marking the first time Apple released two phones at the same time. Industry analysts have speculated a June release for the iPhone 6, but that would be less than a full year between cycles. June was historically the month that Apple released an iPhone, but Apple adopted a fall launch for the iPhone 4s, and the fall release date has remained for three iPhone generations. The fall release pattern supports a holiday season push.
   
   
   
   

Storage

Storage:

In the earliest non-electronic information processing devices, such as Jacquard's loom or Babbage's Analytical Engine, a bit was often stored as the position of a mechanical lever or gear, or the presence or absence of a hole at a specific point of a paper card or tape. The first electrical devices for discrete logic (such as elevator and traffic light control circuits, telephone switches, and Konrad Zuse's computer) represented bits as the states of electrical relays which could be either "open" or "closed". When relays were replaced by vacuum tubes, starting in the 1940s, computer builders experimented with a variety of storage methods, such as pressure pulses traveling down a mercury delay line, charges stored on the inside surface of a cathode-ray tube, or opaque spots printed on glass discs by photolithographic techniques.
In the 1950s and 1960s, these methods were largely supplanted by magnetic storage devices such as magnetic core memory, magnetic tapes, drums, and disks, where a bit was represented by the polarity of magnetization of a certain area of a ferromagnetic film, or by a change in polarity from one direction to the other. The same principle was later used in the magnetic bubble memory developed in the 1980s, and is still found in various magnetic strip items such as metro tickets and some credit cards.
In modern semiconductor memory, such as dynamic random access memory or flash memory, the two values of a bit may be represented by two levels of electric charge stored in a capacitor. In programmable logic arrays and certain types of read-only memory, a bit may be represented by the presence or absence of a conducting path at a certain point of a circuit. In optical discs, a bit is encoded as the presence or absence of a microscopic pit on a reflective surface. In one-dimensional bar codes, bits are encoded as the thickness of alternating black and white lines.

Physical representation

Physical representation:

A bit can be stored by a digital device or other physical system that exists in either of two possible distinct states. These may be the two stable states of a flip-flop, two positions of an electrical switch, two distinct voltage or current levels allowed by a circuit, two distinct levels of light intensity, two directions of magnetization or polarization, the orientation of reversible double stranded DNA, etc.
Bits can be implemented in many forms. In most modern computing devices, a bit is usually represented by an electrical voltage or current pulse, or by the electrical state of a flip-flop circuit.
For devices using positive logic, a digit value of 1 (or a logical value of true) is represented by a more positive voltage relative to the representation of 0. The specific voltages are different for different logic families and variations are permitted to allow for component aging and noise immunity. For example, in transistor–transistor logic (TTL) and compatible circuits, digit values 0 and 1 at the output of a device are represented by no higher than 0.4 volts and no lower than 2.6 volts, respectively; while TTL inputs are specified to recognize 0.8 volts or below as 0 and 2.2 volts or above as 1.

History of bit

History of bit:

The encoding of data by discrete symbols was used in Bacon's cipher (1626).
The encoding of data by discrete bits was used in the punched cards invented by Basile Bouchon and Jean-Baptiste Falcon (1732), developed by Joseph Marie Jacquard (1804), and later adopted by Semen Korsakov, Charles Babbage, Hermann Hollerith, and early computer manufacturers like IBM. Another variant of that idea was the perforated paper tape. In all those systems, the medium (card or tape) conceptually carried an array of hole positions; each position could be either punched through or not, thus carrying one bit of information. The encoding of text by bits was also used in Morse code (1844) and early digital communications machines such as teletypes and stock ticker machines (1870).
Ralph Hartley suggested the use of a logarithmic measure of information in 1928.^[3] Claude E. Shannon first used the word bit in his seminal 1948 paper A Mathematical Theory of Communication. ^[4] He attributed its origin to John W. Tukey, who had written a Bell Labs memo on 9 January 1947 in which he contracted "binary digit" to simply "bit". Interestingly, Vannevar Bush had written in 1936 of "bits of information" that could be stored on the punched cards used in the mechanical computers of that time.^[5] The first programmable computer built by Konrad Zuse used binary notation for numbers.

about a Bit

About a bit:

A bit is the basic unit of information in computing and digital communications. A bit can have only one of two values, and may therefore be physically implemented with a two-state device. The most common representation of these values are 0and1. The term bit is a portmanteau of binary digit.
The two values can also be interpreted as logical values (true/false, yes/no), algebraic signs (+/−), activation states (on/off), or any other two-valued attribute. The correspondence between these values and the physical states of the underlying storage or device is a matter of convention, and different assignments may be used even within the same device or program. The length of a binary number may be referred to as its bit-length.
In information theory, one bit is typically defined as the uncertainty of a binary random variable that is 0 or 1 with equal probability,^[1] or the information that is gained when the value of such a variable becomes known.^[2]
In quantum computing, a quantum bit or qubit is a quantum system that can exist in superposition of two bit values, true and false.
The symbol for bit, as a unit of information, is either simply bit (recommended by the ISO/IEC standard 80000-13 (2008)) or lowercase b (recommended by the IEEE 1541 Standard (2002)). A group of eight bits is commonly called one byte, but historically the size of the byte is not strictly defined.
