Who Else Wants Computer Technology?

From the beginning of time, man realised that he required to take stock of his possessions so that you can make informed decisions and be in control of his environment.  His possessions have been not a lot of, a number of goats or sheep, a dog, two spears and an axe, maybe a few wives and an increasing number of children. Now the only computing equipment at his disposal then was his ten fingers and ten toes, but the word ten, or just one, did not exist in his vocabulary.  He would allocate one particular finger to every goat, 1 to each rabbit he caught, and so on. Now, the fingers and toes allocated towards the rabbits and goats have been easy to deal with but had their own problems mainly because it was difficult to remember which fingers or toes had been employed to represent something, and which ones have been even now unallocated.http://www.technologyawards.org/

And as the number of goats increased beyond his ten fingers and his ten toes, he found himself in a serious computational dilemma. Computer men and women right now call this an overflow – memory size exceeded. Our resourceful ancient ancestor quickly identified a way around this issue by resorting towards the use of sticks and stones to extend the capacity of his computing process. That turned out to be a stroke of genius simply because that’s when rules governing addition and subtraction of digits became clearly defined. When a fresh goat is born, set just one more stone for the pile of stones, when a new lamb is born, set one particular far more stick for the pile of sticks. When the ancestor, or a jackal, ate one particular sheep he removed a single stick; and when he decided to eat all his goats, he would throw away all his stones after eating, not prior to, to avoid confusion. Nothing could be more elegant. Significantly later, mathematicians discovered that they could also use this procedure and called it addition and subtraction.http://www.technologyawards.org/category/asus

These sticks and stones form the building blocks of a computer as we know it currently. The same sticks and stones that our ancestors used many thousands of years ago are still there, miniaturised and disguised as integrated circuits, inside the contemporary computer. Our ancient man, who employed to shuffle his sticks and stones as he carried out his calculations, is also nevertheless there inside the contemporary computer, reduced to some operating method and application software.

So genuinely, nothing very much has changed since the beginning of time, except of course the fact that whereas the sticks and stones technological know-how was accessible for no cost, modern technological know-how, like everything else, isn’t so free.

Create a Web Site Forum – How forum hosting works

Start here:

http://www.onlineinstitute.com/forumsoftware.html

Free demo is here:

http://www.forum-hosting.oli.us/index.php

Hey guys and gals, Fred here with another tip on how you too, actually anyone, can be a web guru, without having to be a tech-geek.

Ever been a member of a forum or message board online? most have.

Forums are like online hangouts, where people with common interests share info and get to know each other.

I often visit this music forum where I get the latest info and tour dates on my favorite band. Then there’s a webmaster frum where I keep up on the web’s latest secrets.

And here’s a secret about forum hosting, a forum can actually get your more traffic to your website and higher ranking in the search engines, as they increase your number of inbound links coming to your web site.

Believe it or not, you don’t have to be a techy at all to start your own forum. There’s really just 2 simple Steps:

1. Choose some Forum software you like.
2. Choose a good Forum Host, who makes your forum accessible online.

I’ll try to make these 2 steps as basic as possible, with my own recommendations.

Step 1.

It’s important to chose forum software that has all the features you and your forum members will want, like the ability for members to share files, pictures, create opinion polls, set Calendar events, instant message and more.

One forum software that does this, and is also free, is drum roll …. Simple Machines Forums, or SMF.

The great part about Simple Machines is the creators are always improving the software, and adding new features, based on input from a whole community of cool people who have their own forums. This means Simple Machines already has most the features today’s users are looking for.

There’s a site where you can try a live demo of latest Simple Machines version, the one I link to is hosted by Online Institute.

And that brings us to the second step: getting a good host.

I mention Online Institute because they are a pioneer in forum hosting. They were around before Google and Youtube, and continue to do a reliable job installing and customizing forums. They give you a web address for your forum, so you get your own domain that starts with www. Also, unlike a lot of forum hosts, Online Institute can actually help if you have any questions along the way, because they’ve been doing it for so long. And from my experience, they’re courteous too, which is always cool.

A decent forum host is usally a lot cheaper than they typical cell phone bill, usually about 10 bucks a month, give or take, which is the only fee you need to pay if you go with free forum software like Simple Machines, But if your forum haoens to take off like many have, and become a thriving online community, maybe donate a little back over at the site who makes the free software: http://www.SimpleMachines.org.

If you feel like getting your feet wet, go on over to http://www.onlineinstitute.com and click the “Forum Hosting” link, they also have the free demo.

So that’s it. Good software, a good host who does all the technical work, and you too can start a forum, whether you use it to blog, connect with friends, family, business colleagues, or just to start your own unique and interactive home on the web. And most importantly, don’t forget to have fun. It’s your forum!

PS: Online Institute also offers private chat software you can try for free here:

http://www.cafe.olicentral.com/index.php

more details on the private chat hosting are here:

http://www.onlineinstitute.com/chat

Note this tutorial uses the term Forum but some people refer to them as Message Boards or Message Board hosting.

Enjoy Your Forum!
