Car  giants  single online  supply  store.

  General motors, Ford Motors and Daimler Chrysler companies have announced plans to open the online auto marketplace, potentially making it the largest internet business yet created. It will allow suppliers and buyers to automate routine transactions and streamline 1the bidding process for everything from car windows and fuel-injection parts to paper clips and paint through electronic needs and  receive bids from sellers.

Consumers are not likely to see massive price cuts because of the new system. But it should help automakers keep a lid on retail prices as new features are introduced, such as electronic steering, computerized transmission systems and weight-sensitive air bags. It will also make it possible for customers to order more personalized vehicles and to take delivery of them faster.

General motors, Ford and Daimler Chrysler will have an equal share of the new company, which is expected to be running by the end of June. They will also open their virtual marketplace to other automakers and could eventually expand the service into other industries, such as aerospace, and office supplies. 

  The joint marketplace is the most powerful sign of the migration of commerce from the old world of salesmen and brick stores to the new virtual world of electronic commerce. It is going to change the way businesses interact with each other by taking out the huge inefficiencies that been built around the old methods of using the phone and mail.

  By using the speed of Internet communication and the power of large computerized databases to handle global sales and purchasing, the companies hope to control costs, slash production inefficiencies and reduce the logistical nightmare of tracking millions of parts.

  “The Internet is transforming every piece of our company and our industry”, Ford president said in a statement.

  In one of the first purchases made by Ford on its own online marketplace the company was reported to save more then $ 10 million.

  There will ultimately be more than 100,000 supply companies on the system. The company could become a profit maker since it will collect a fee or commission for every transaction that takes place over the network.

The monitor

We interact with computers by entering instructions and data into them. After the information has been processed, we can see the results (i. e. the output) on the visual display unit or the monitor. In this interactive process with the computer, the screen plays an important part.

The pictures and the characters we see on the screen are made up of picture elements which are also called pixels. The total number of pixels the display is divided in (both horizontally and vertically) is known as resolution. When the number of pixels is very large, we obtain a high resolution display and therefore a sharp image. If the number of pixels is small, a low resolution is obtained. Thus, pixel density or resolution affects the quality of the image: a larger number of pixels gives a much clearer image.

The cathode ray tube of the monitor is very similar to that of a TV set. Inside the tube there is an electron beam which scans the screen and turns on or off the pixels that make up the image. The beam appears in the top left corner, and scans the screen from left to right in a continuous sequence, similar to the movement of our eyes when we read, but much faster. This sequence is repeated 50, 60 or 75 times per second, depending on the system.

In a colour monitor, the screen surface is coated with substances called phosphors. Three different phosphor materials are used – one each for red, green and blue. A beam of electrons causes phosphor materials to give coloured light from which the picture is formed.  Colour monitors are capable to display many different colours at the same time.

Portable computers use a flat liquid-crystal display (LCD) instead of a picture tube.

  SCIENCE  and  TECHNOLOGY

The word “science” comes from the Latin word “scientia”, which means “knowledge”. Science covers the board field of knowledge that deals with facts and the relationship among facts.

Scientists study a wide variety of subjects. Some scientists search for clues to the origin of the universe and examine the structure of the cells of living plants and animals. Other researchers investigate why we act the way we do or try to solve complicated mathematical problems.

Scientists usе systematic methods of study to make observations and collect facts. They develop theories that help them order and unify facts. Scientific theories consist of general principles or laws that attempt to explain how and why something happens or has happened. A theory is considered to become a part of scientific knowledge if it has been tested experimentally and proved to be true.

Scientific study can be divided into the three major groups: the natural, social and technical science. As scientific knowledge has grown and become more complicated, many new field of science have appeared. At the same time, the boundaries between scientific fields have become less and less clear. Numerous areas of science overlap each other and it is often hard to tell where one science ends and another begins. All sciences are closely interconnected.

Science has great influence on our lives. It provides the basis of modern technology – the tools and machines that make our life and work easier. The discoveries and inventions of scientists also help shape our view about ourselves and our place in the universe

Technology means the use of people’s inventions and discoveries to satisfy their needs. Since people have appeared on the earth they had to get food, clothes and shelter. Through the ages people have invented tools, machines and materials to make work easier.

Nowadays, when people speak of technology, they generally mean industrial technology. Industrial technology began about 200 years ago with the development of the steam engine, the growth of factories and the mass production of goods. It influenced different aspects of people’s lives. The development of the car influenced where people lived and worked. Radio and television changed their leisure time. The telephone revolutionized communication.
