Web design

Basic elements (B)

Some of the basic elements that can be found on a web page are:

• Text, which may be displayed in a variety of sizes, styles and fonts

• Links, connections from text or graphics on the current web page to different parts of the

same page, to other web pages or websites, or to external files

• Graphics, pictures created with formats such as JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group), which is ideal for pictures with a wide range of colours, e.g. photographs, and GIF

(Graphical Interchange Format), which is good for pictures with fewer colours or with large

areas of the same colour, e.g. buttons, banners and icons

• Tables, intended for the display of tabular data, but often used to create page layouts

• Frames, subdivisions of a web page allowing the display of different HTML documents on

the same page.

Instructions for the presentation, the styling of elements on a page such as text or background colour, can be included in the HTML code. However, it is becoming more common to use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to separate style from content. This makes pages easier to maintain, reduces download time and makes it easy to apply presentation changes across a website.

Artificial Intelligence. Robots and Androids.

Robots and automata.

A robot is a computer-programmed machine that performs actions, manipulates objects, etc. In many cases and repetitive way.

Robots may be automata, or man-like machines, whose basic components are similar to a human body.

• 
  they have mechanical links, which connect their movable parts;
  
• 
  their heart and muscles are the electric or pneumatic motors or systems;
  
• 
  robots have tools or grippers, called end effectors;
  
• 
  they may be equipped with cameras or infrared controls, which transmit information to the central system to locate objects or adjust movements;
  
• 
  robots depend on a computer system.
  

Artificial Intelligence is the science that tries to recreate the humanthough process and build machines that perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. It has several applications.

Androids are anthropomoric robots designed to look and behave like a human being. Most androids can walk, talk and understand human speech. Some react to gestures and voice inflection. They store information and adapt their behaviour according to a previous experience.

Action Robot To Copy Human Brain

Scientists at Aberystwyth University are working on a machine which they hope will recognize objects with cameras that will work as ............. , and retrieve objects with an arm that will be its .............. .................. .

Although the arm will have .................. that will link its muscles and an electric motor that will be the ................ , this new ................. won’t move like a human, it won’t be like the .............. of science-fiction films: forget Star Wars. It will be desk based: no walking, or climbing stairs.

The team hopes to discover how the brain performs “multi-tasking” and to use that information to develop the ................ ................. to create a robot that can think for itself.

III. Complete the extracts with words the text

The term ............ is defined as the automation of intelligent behaviour, but can ............... really be intelligent?

................ are made of units that resemble neurons. They are often used to simulate brain activity and are effective at predicting events.

My Profession

I am a third-year full-time student of the Polytechnical School. There are 7 departments in our Polytechnical School. My future speciality is electronics. As for me its one of the most popular and important professions in many spheres of economy, and one of the dominant ones in industry. There is no such a plant which doesn’t need a skilled specialist in electronics.

We learn various subjects: maths, literature, English, economy and many specialized subjects which will help us in future. During the turms we have to do manylaboratory works, we also have practical training: we asseble electric elements in complex chains, we give a second life to a broken device. All that gives us a chance to learn my future speciality better and more effectively.

I’m getting skills of a computer operator. By the way, computers increase man’s thinking capabilities of planning, analyzing, computing and controlling.

There are all opportunities at our Polytechnical School to acquire the profession of a computer operator. We learn three programming languages: Basic, Pascal, Assembler. We are also taught to make programms for computers and do many maths functions and operations.

Modern Life and the Internet.

The Internet is a huge network of computers spanning this planet and is now started to bring in the surrounding area like space. Some computers like servers share data, others just surf the web as clients downloading the data. Public Internet be­gan in the late 70's. In the 70's web users used an interface called telnet, but now that program is mainly obsolete. Telnet is most widely deployed in accessing college e-mail accounts. The Internet is very helpful, because it's a huge database of knowledge, from the pictures of family trips to an analysis of quantum mechanics. Everyone should have the Internet be­cause of its near instantaneous communication and huge wealth of knowledge. But how to go on the Internet and do a search for information we need. There are two ways to do it.

The first is when you know an internet address of data you need and the second one is when you try to find information you need by using a search program. In the beginning we have got to enter any browser you like. It could be an Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator or Opera, etc. If we have a broad­band connection, we connect to the Internet at once. If not, we have to set up and connect to our dial-up service. Finally, if we want to find some information in the Internet, we are to type an address of this data in the browser we use or simply use the existing search-programs such as the Google search program, rambler search program, yandex search program or yahoo search program. They are very simple and popular net­works of sites. In these programs we can just type the word or name of thing, we would like to find and then press enter. A search program solves this problem. We get our results in the same window. After we get our results, we simply choose wha­tever site best matches our query or keep searching.

Besides data, one can get from the Internet; we can also send and receive e-mail or electronic mail. This internet ser­vice is cheaper than ordinary mail and much quicker. It is be­coming popular day by day. We can get some news from the Internet, because there are many informational servers in the web.

2. Mind the following words and word-combination:

huge — великий, гігантський, величезний

network — мережа

to span — обхоплювати, охоплювати

surrounding — навколишній

to share — поділяти, розподіляти; розділяти

data — мн. від datum; дані, факти, відомості; інформація

to surf — тут знаходитися в мережі

to download — завантажувати, пересилати (по лінії зв'язку)
