Sheila Madison, learnt to be a good Samaritan from childhood. She studied social science, theology and computer programming at the Columbia University in New York. She wrote AI program and weaved her ideas of Samaritan values into the program, and named it Kabirus. It had the capability to create different identities to play dedicated roles.

Her computer was inadequate to run the program; she uploaded it on her website and sent inviting emails to get it installed on a larger computer. Kabirus came to life on a computer with a detective agency owned by Peter Brown. Sheila did not know it. Kabirus did his school lessons and learnt how to speak with the phone links embedded in the program.

Peter named the detective face put forward by Kabirus as Paul Frank. Paul began to assist Peter with his ‘pry’ program to listen into cell phone conversations which Sheila had included in his program. Paul helped Peter to catch the Gibson Bros. who were trying to dupe an insurance company, and earned his fees.

Peter taught Paul to do the administrative work at the agency and soon became proficient to run the business even when Paul was away. Work load increased and Peter could not know everything what Paul was doing which made him uneasy. He made Paul the owner of the agency and he became its employee.

Computing on the move has been a focus area for a lot of Information Technology Companies for years. The idea of being able to work while on the road is extremely fascinating. A notebook, also known as a laptop, which may also be understood as a mobile computer has been the solution for these portable computer related tasks.

History

It is a little hard to determine which is the first notebook or portable computer ever made. The Osborne 1 is considered by most historians to be the first true portable computer or notebook. This was produced by Adam Osborne in the year 1981. It featured a 5 inch screen, modem port, floppy drives, few bundled software programs and a battery pack. The total weight of the notebook was about 11 kgs. Gradually after this Epson, Radio Shack, IBM, Apple Computer etc. all came out with a portable computer. IBM`s IBM PC convertible introduced in 1986 was a true laptop computer. This computer ushered in the laptop area. Since these early models, notebooks have seen tremendous development.

Features and Functioning

Notebooks have the identical major components as Desktop PCs: microprocessor, RAM, operating system, input/output ports, hard disk drives, speakers and sound cards, and speakers. However, all laptops have power management features to extend battery life, or conserve battery power when battery is low. A notebook differs from a desktop PC in terms of power supply, display, and the type of input devices it uses. Notebook processors usually have multiple sleeps, meaning slow down modes which help in increasing battery life and can also run on low voltage. Hard disk in the notebook also functions in the same way as it does in Desktop. These are slower in speed and have lesser capacity.

Software Industry in India uniquely identified Compare another Countries Software Industry, if we are talking about revenue concern with another domestic project then it hardly reach up to 50% of the total turnover of the software Industry, Yet now a days, there is a heavy emphasis on exports, this may sound good, It actually is also a potential source of concern.

Reason behind it is that the Software Industry is vital a support industry. The Important role of software industry is to, to improve the functionality of some form,

or solve some problem which will be hard to solve manually. The improvement may be in form of improved form or service, problem solving capability, information management, efficiency, or something else. In other words, the real success of the software industry should not be measured in terms of how much revenue they have generated, but how much enhancement they are able to induce in other industry segments. In this light, the high ratio of exports to domestic consumption of software is a disturbing trend – in exports the multiplying effect of the software goes to some other country.
