APRESENTAÇÃO DO CURSO O que é inglês instrumental? Como surgiu? “English for Specific Purposes” (E.S.P), que em português quer dizer: Inglês com Objetivos Específicos, também chamado de inglês instrumental ou técnico, ou seja, é a habilidade de entender textos em língua inglesa usando estratégias específicas de leitura. Surgiu com a necessidade de comunicação rápida e eficaz em vários contextos mundiais. Como por exemplo: durante a guerra, os soldados precisavam aprender o idioma do inimigo para sobreviverem, este vocabulário básico era visto no avião, navio, nos campos de batalha. Com o passar do tempo, outros contextos sociais foram surgindo, como: a necessidade de leitura de livros, revistas, catálogos, instruções operacionais, manuais escritos em inglês que precisavam ser compreendidos pelos usuários, etc. Sendo assim, torna-se necessário uma abordagem específica da língua Inglesa, que atenda as necessidades profissionais dos estudantes, que são leitura e compreensão de livros. E assim, o Inglês Instrumental possui o objetivo de desenvolver a habilidade de leitura, isto é, de compreensão de textos de diversas áreas do conhecimento escritos em língua inglesa, utilizando para isso estratégias de leitura, a fim de tornar o aluno capaz de compreender um texto da sua área de estudo. Nesse enfoque, a leitura conta com o conhecimento prévio dos leitores. O inglês instrumental consiste no “treinamento instrumental” dessa língua, em que as habilidades têm por objetivo extrair conhecimentos para áreas específicas de estudo. Vale lembrar que o inglês instrumental ou técnico pode ou não visar a comunicação oral em inglês, entretanto, para os cursos de WEB e REDES sua principal habilidade a ser trebalhada será a leitura e o estudo de gramática, restringindo-a a um mínimo necessário, ou seja, associando-a ao texto. Método Desenvolve a leitura ("reading") de forma limitada a um objetivo específico, através da habilidade de manipular textos em língua inglesa, tentando assimilar a compreensão geral e inferir informações específicas. A gramática é ensinada de forma contextualizada a um objetivo específico. Tradução os textos Para nosso curso não há tradução, porém outros métodos são utilizados como, por exemplo: dedução, contexto semântico, reconhecimento de afixos, cognatos e vocabulário da área. Como serão as aulas? As aulas serão ministradas em português, pois no curso não serão trabalhadas as habilidades da fala, de compreensão oral e de escrita. Não haverá tradução literal, outras estratégias serão utilizadas como por exemplo, dedução, cognatos, familiares, dicas tipográficas e outros. Muitos exercícios de leitura e compreensão de textos, os quais vocês poderão aplicar as estratégias de leitura que serão ensinadas. O inglês instrumental poderá abrir seus horizontes de leitura e assim você se manterá mais informado e próximo ao mundo globalizado

TESTE: COMO ESTÁ O SEU INGLÊS? Leia atentamente o texto abaixo e assinale a opção correta para cada questão. 1 A computer is a programmable machine that stores and retrieves data and performs high-speed logical and mathematical operations. However, it is not able to think. It accepts data and instructions as input, and after processing them, it outputs the results. 4 When we talk about computers, we have to consider the hardware and the software. The hardware consists of all the electronic and mechanical parts that make up a computer system, and the software is the collection of data and programs needed to solve problems with a computer.

ABILITIES AND OTHER FACILITATORS Cognates: são palavras de origem grega ou latina bem parecidas com as do português. Ex. different – diferente, infection – infecção. Obs.: Atenção com os falsos cognatos. Ex. pretend não significa pretender, mas sim, fingir; é importante observar se a palavra se encaixa no contexto. Repeated words: se uma palavra aparece várias vezes no texto, isto significa que ela é importante para a compreensão do mesmo. Typographical Evidences: são símbolos, letras maiúsculas, negrito, itálico, etc., que dão dicas úteis sobre o texto. Selectivity: leitura seletiva, isto é, selecionar os trechos onde se quer encontrar uma determinada informação (parágrafos, por exemplo). Dictionary: o dicionário deve ser utilizado como último recurso para se descobrir o significado de uma palavra ou expressão desconhecida. Isso para que a leitura não seja lenta demais, e para que o leitor não desanime tendo que parar toda vez que encontrar algo desconhecido. ESTRATÉGIAS DE LEITURA Skimming: leitura rápida para ter-se uma idéia central do texto. Scanning: leitura com objetivo de encontrar algumas informações específicas no texto. Prediction: significa inferir o conteúdo de um texto através de seu conhecimento prévio sobre o tema (background); através do contexto semântico (palavras de um mesmo grupo, por exemplo: hospital, nurse, doctor, ambulance); contexto lingüístico (pistas gramaticais); contexto não-lingüístico (gravuras, gráficos, tabelas, números, etc.); conhecimento sobre estrutura do texto (lay out, título, subtítulo, divisão de parágrafos, etc.). Vale ressaltar a importância do conhecimento prévio do leitor e das suas expectativas e deduções em relação ao texto. COGNATOS Muito comuns na Língua Inglesa, os cognatos são palavras de procedência grega ou latina, bastantes parecidas com as da Língua Portuguesa, tanto na forma, como no significado. Os cognatos podem ser:  Idênticos: Exs.: radio, piano, hospital, hotel, sofa, nuclear, social, total, particular, chance, camera, inventor, etc.  Bastante parecidos: Exs.: gasoline, banks, inflation, intelligent, population, revolution, commercial, attention, different, products, secretary, billion, dramatic, deposits, distribution, automatic, television, public, events, models, etc.  Vagamente parecidos: Exs.: electricity, responsible, explain, activity, impossible, lamp, company, etc.

PALAVRAS FAMILIARES (ESTRANGEIRISMOS) Familiares são palavras conhecidas pela maioria das pessoas que vive em um país altamente influenciado pela cultura dos países de Língua Inglesa. Não têm a mesma origem das palavras da Língua Portuguesa. Alguns exemplos de Familiares: Software Fast food Delivery Shows Hamburguer

Windows Video game Dollar Moto/Office Boy Play

 Exercite no texto abaixo alguns falsos cognatos: A DAY AT WORK In the morning I attended a meeting between management and union representatives. The discussion was very comprehensive, covering topics like working hours, days off, retirement age, etc. Both sides were interested in an agreement and ready to compromise. The secretary recorded everything in the notes. Eventually, they decided to set a new meeting to sign the final draft of the agreement.

Back at the office, a colleague of mine asked me if I had realized that the proposed agreement would be partially against the company policy not to accept workers that have already retired. I pretended to be really busy and late for an appointment, and left for the cafeteria. Actually, I didn't want to discuss the matter at that particular moment because there were some strangers in the office. After lunch I attended a lecture given by the mayor, who is an expert in tax legislation and has a graduate degree in political science. He said his government intends to assist welfare programs and senior citizens, raise funds to improve college education and build a public library, and establish tougher limits on vehicle emissions because he assumes this is what the people expect from the government.

USO DO DICIONÁRIO O dicionário é uma fonte de muitos tipos de informações sobre palavras. Veja o exemplo abaixo: COMPUTER: (KAM’PJULTER). An electronic machine that can be supplied with a program. Você pode notar que podemos encontrar: - A representação fonética das palavras - Abreviaturas - Significado das palavras - Classe gramatical das palavras Veja o exemplo seguinte e responda: 1. Qual é a representação fonética da palavra “look”? 2. Quantos significados ela pode ter como substantivo? E como verbo? 3. Qual é a primeira expressão mencionada? 4. Qual é o significado de “to look for?

Look (luk) s. 1. Olhar m., olhadela f. 2. Expressão f. aspecto m// v. 1 Olhar 2. Contemplar, observar. 3. /considerar. 4. Prestar atenção. 5. Ter vista para. 6. Parecer. 7. Inspecionar, examinar Have a ~ at It dê uma olhada nisto. It ~s like rain está com aspecto de chuva, ameaça chover. ~ out seja cuidadoso. To ~ after 1. Procurar 2. Cuidar de. To ~ down upon Adaptado do dicionário Michaellis menosprezar. To ~ forInglês/Português 1. Procurar 2. Esperar, antecipar. Verbos Quando você procura um verbo no dicionário geralmente encontra a base do verbo, por exemplo: look, work, teach. Mas, quando lemos textos encontramos os verbos sob diferentes formas: looking, worked, teaches. Quando o verbo é irregular encontramos a seguinte explicação no dicionário: Fell/fel/ v. passado de fall. Assim, terá que procurar o verbo na sua forma base (fall), para encontrar a definição da palavra. Observe os seguintes exemplos em Português e Inglês. Quais as semelhanças na forma de utilização das palavras no Português e no Inglês? 1. Ele apagou as velas. 2. Tenho que limpar as velas do carro.

3. O marinheiro levantou as velas do barco. 4. Eu não vou ao cinema com eles porque detesto segurar vela. É claro que o contexto é sempre importante para a compreensão das palavras que têm vários significados diferentes. Em Inglês também o contexto é muito importante para a interpretação adequada dos vocábulos. 1. The waiter fills their glasses with champagne. 2. She went to the optician for a new pair of glasses. 3. This window is made of glass. 4. I like computers. 5. OS2 operating system is like Ms DOS Você precisa ter em mente que na leitura de textos técnicos você encontrará várias palavras em inglês que talvez já façam parte de seu vocabulário, mas que nesse contexto irão adquirir novos significados. Qual é a tradução mais adequada para os vocábulos em negrito? 1. I will substitute my computer by a notebook. 2. I need a new notebook for my English classes 3. I need the key to open the door. 4. To enter the program, press any key. 5. I have to save money to by a new car. 6. Don’t forget to save the file before turning off the computer. (Atividade adaptada da apostila elaborada pelas professoras Márcia C. Bonamim e Magali N. de Paula) Abreviaturas mais comuns encontradas nos dicionários f. feminino m. masculino m. pl = masculino plural p.p. = particípio passado pl = plural pop. = popular pref. = prefixo prep. = preposição pret. = pretérito pron. = pronome s. substantivo s.pl = plural sg. = singular sup. = superlativo v. = verbo var. = variante de

Símbolos Comuns: ║ separação da categoria morfológica ~ substitui a palavra de entrada (ou seja, a palavra que se está consultando) Símbolos fonéticos: Formas de pronúncia Vogais / Ditongos / Semivogais / Consoantes Sinal ‘ que significa acentuação Sinal : que significa prolongação

NOTA: Observar sempre a organização do dicionário (guia fonético)

DOUBLE SENSE WORDS É comum a todas as línguas a ocorrência de palavras com significado ou função gramatical múltiplos. Freqüentemente este múltiplo sentido em um idioma não tem correspondente em outro. Quer dizer: os termos nem sempre cobrem as mesmas áreas de significado entre diferentes idiomas. Este fenômeno, também chamado de polissemia, ocorre com qualquer idioma; assim como o português, o inglês também tem inúmeras palavras de múltiplo significado. É, entretanto a ocorrência do fenômeno na língua mãe do aluno que causa maior dificuldade. Partir do geral para o particular é sempre mais difícil do que o inverso. Portanto, sempre que diferentes idéias representadas pela mesma palavra na língua mãe do aluno corresponderem a diferentes palavras na segunda língua, o mesmo terá dificuldades em expressar-se corretamente. As diferentes palavras do inglês que correspondem aos diferentes significados da palavra do português podem eventualmente funcionar como sinônimos, portanto neutralizando o contraste entre os dois idiomas. O objetivo, entretanto, é mostrar os contrastes nas ocorrências mais usuais do vocabulário inglês moderno. Inglês

MOUSE MEMORIES In 1968 Douglas Engelbart demo’ed a strange device called a mouse. Last week 1.500 people gathered at Stanford University to honor him. Speakers stressed that Engelbart’s contributions went beyond the mouse. His Stanford computer was the second one to hook up to ARPAnet, the Internet’s predecessor, and he developed the first use of multiple “windows”. More important, Engelbart strove to enhance human intelligence, thus improving our ability to solve problems. We’ll click to that.

A HISTORY OF THE COMPUTER: NETWORK

Timesharing, the concept of linking a large numbers of users to a single computer via remote terminals, is developed at MIT in the late 50s and early 60s. 1962: Paul Baran of RAND develops the idea of distributed, packet-switching networks. ARPANET goes online in 1969. Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf develop the basic ideas of the Internet in 1973. In 1974 BBN opens the first public packet-switched network - Telenet. A UUCP link between the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University establishes USENET in 1979. The first MUD is also developed in 1979, at the University of Essex. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol) is established as the standard for ARPANET in 1982. 1987: the number of network hosts breaks 10,000. 1989: the number of hosts breaks 100,000. Tim Berners-Lee develops the World Wide Web. CERN releases the first Web server in 1991. 1992: the number of hosts breaks 1,000,000. The World Wide Web sports a growth rate of 341,634% in service traffic in its third year, 1993. The main U.S. Internet backbone traffic begins routing through commercial providers as NSFNET reverts to a research network in 1994. The Internet 1996 World Exposition is the first World's Fair to be held on the internet. 1) Quando a ARPANET foi ao ar? ________________________________________________________ 2) O que fizeram Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf? _________________________________________________ 3) Escreva um parágrafo informando o assunto tratado no texto. ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ 4) O que é TCP/IP em inglês?

GRUPOS NOMINAIS São grupos de palavras, compostos por duas ou mais palavras que estão relacionadas entre si, sendo que uma é a palavra principal; o substantivo (núcleo), e as outras são os modificadores; palavras que caracterizam o substantivo. Exs.: Electric Energy = Energia Elétrica Private Investors = Investidores Privados State Government = Governo Estadual Observe que nos grupos nominais em Inglês a palavra principal, ou seja, o substantivo (núcleo) é sempre a última palavra do grupo, ao passo que em português nós começamos o grupo com ela. Assim, temos: United Kingdom Reino Unido

Parliamentary Vote Voto Parlamentar

Os grupos nominais podem ter mais de um modificador: Red Cross Emblem = Emblema da Cruz Vermelha Várias siglas são iniciais de Grupo Nominais: VIP = Very Important Person = ________________________________________________ WTC = World Trade Center = _________________________________________________ WHO = World Health Organization = ___________________________________________ NASA = National Air and Space Administration = _________________________________ USAF = United States Air Force = ______________________________________________ USA = United States of America________________________________________________ FBI = Federal Bureau of Investigation_______________________________________________ Outros Exemplos:

Modern computer = Computador moderno Central processor = Processador central Laser printer = Impressora à laser Personal computer = Computador pessoal

Incredible speed = velocidade incrível (núcleo) Hard disk = disco rígido (núcleo) Input devices = dispositivos de entrada (núcleo)  Confirma-se então que a ordem dos grupos nominais em Inglês é INVERSA à ordem em Português: Data Processing = Processamento de dados Central Processing Unit = Unidade Central de Processamento Arithmetic and Logic Operations = Operações lógicas e aritméticas Operações aritméticas e lógicas Electronic machine = Máquina eletrônica

I)

Os grupos nominais a seguir são bastante simples. São formados pelo núcleo (head word = HW) que é o substantivo e um modificador = Modifier (M), que pode ser adjetivo ou substantivo. Grife o núcleo (HW) e faça a tradução.

1) Disabled worker = trabalhador incapacitado 2) Rehabilitation engineer = 3) Employ’s abilities = 4) Pointing device = 5) Speech synthesizer = 6) Disk controller = II) Nesta segunda atividade temos: o núcleo e dois modificadores (um artigo e um adjetivo ou substantivo): 1. the major informations = as informações principais 2. a brief introduction = uma breve introdução (ou uma introdução breve) 3. the English language = 4. the principal program = 5. the file areas =

III) Agora vamos trabalhar com grupos um pouco maiores, compostos de um núcleo mais dois, três ou mais adjetivos e/ou substantivos. Esses grupos podem ou não vir precedidos de artigos. 1. ARP -- (Advanced Research Projects) = 2. ASP -- (Application Service Provider) = 3. AT&T – American Telephone & Telegraph Company = 4. CDMA -- (Code Division Multiple Access) = 5.

SQL -- (Structured Query Language) = 32. Sysop -- (System Operator) = 33. TCP – Transmission Control Protocol = 34. URI -- (Uniform Resource Identifier) = 35. URL – Uniform Resource Locator = 36. URN -- (Uniform Resource Name) = 37. VOIP -- (Voice Over IP) = 38. VPN -- (Virtual Private Network) = 39. WAN -- (Wide Area Network) = 40. Wi-Fi -- (Wireless Fidelity) =

IV) Há também os grupos nominais com a palavra “of”, onde a ordem das palavras continua igual em português. Observe que o núcleo do grupo nominal vem antes da preposição “of”. 1. The performance of program = a performance de programa 2. A long history of personal computers = uma longa história de computadores pessoais 3. An essential part of a printer = 4. A important group of personal files = 5. Different languages of the same families = 6. POP = Point of Presence =

Storing data in computer programs For those new to computer programming, data and code go hand in hand. You cannot write a program of any real value without lines of code, or without data. A Word Processor program has logic that takes what the user types and stores it in data. It also uses data to control how it stores and formats what the user types and clicks.

Data is stored in the memory of the computer when the program runs (it can also be stored in a file, but that is another matter beyond the scope of this tutorial). Each memory 'slot' is identified by a name that the programmer chooses. For example LineTotal might be used to name a memory slot that holds the total number of lines in a Word Processor document.

The program can freely read from and write to this memory slot. This kind of data is called a Variable. It can contain data such as a number or text. Sometimes, we may have data that we do not want to change. For example, the maximum number of lines that the Word Processor can handle. When we give a name to such data, we also give it its permanent value. These are called constants. Leia o texto acima e responda: 1) Retire do texto todos os grupos nominais que conseguir identificar. (traduza-os) ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ 2) Explique o que tem um programa processador de palavras e o que ele faz.. ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ 3) Que nome é dado ao tipo de dado que o programa pode ler livremente e escrever para a memória slot? __________________________________________________________ 4) Explique como pode ser usada a LineTotal. _____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ 5) Qual é a correta tradução do título do texto? a) Dados armazenados em programas de computador b) Armazenamento de dados em programas de computador.

c) Programas de computador em armazenamento de dados 6) Complete a tradução da frase. “Data is stored in the memory of the computer when the program runs” Dado é ______________ na ___________ do computador ___________o programa _________.

FORMAÇÃO DE PALAVRAS – AFIXOS (Material extraído do livro: Técnicas de Leitura em Inglês. Eiter Otavio Guandalini. p. 37-39.) Algumas palavras que aparecem nos textos demandam um pouco mais de atenção para inferi-las e reconhecê-las durante a leitura. São as chamadas palavras derivadas, ou seja, palavras que apresentam componentes denominados genericamente de afixos – que podem ser prefixos ou sufixos. O conhecimento da formação das palavras é muito útil, sem dúvida, para sua compreensão. Isto significa que é necessário reconhecer os afixos mais comumente usados na língua que se que aprender e, naturalmente, seu significado. Sufixos e prefixos podem ser acrescentados às palavras dando-lhes novos significados e, quase sempre, alternando sua classe gramatical. Portanto, atenção: habitue-se a descobrir ou reconhecer o significado de palavras e expressões através de prefixos e sufixos, da nova posição que ocupam na frase, como também na alteração da classe gramatical. A fim de facilitar sua identificação, colocamos a seguir uma lista com os afixos mais usados na língua inglesa. Prefixação – o prefixo muda o significado da palavra primitiva, mas não muda a classe gramatical. Amoral Anti-clockwise Disagree Illegal Misunderstand Nonsense Unmagnetized Overdose Premarital Minicomputer Macroeconomics Interface

a (sem) anti (contra) dis (oposto) il, ir, im, in (não) mis (errado) non (não) un (não) over (excesso, além) pre (antes) Mini, micro Macro, mega Inter (entre)

apolitical anti-nuclear dishonest irregular misdirect non-fiction uncommon overeat prefix Microcomputer Megabyte Interactive

asexual Antichrist disloyal imperfect /incomplete misaddress non-programable unprofessional prehistory

Sufixação – o sufixo pode mudar a classe gramatical da palavra sem mudar-lhe o sentido primitivo. Formação de verbos: - en - ify - ize

Freshen Simplify Centralize

blacken solidify modernize

Harden computerize

Formação de advérbios - ly (mente) - ward (em direção)

Logically Downward

O título do texto já está marcado. (A: _____) It was during the Second World War that the modern age of computers began. In 1930, Vannevar Bush built the first analog computer, which was used to help aim guns in World War II. In the period between 1938-1942, John V. Atanasoff and Clifford Berry designed and built the first electronic digital computer, the ABC, which provided the basis for the development of the ENIAC. (B:_____) After that, in 1822, Charles Babbage built a machine called “The Difference Engine,” which he showed at The Paris Exhibition in 1855. Next, Babbage envisioned and designed “The Analytical Engine”, a machine which could complete programmed arithmetic operations. Unfortunately, Babbage never finished his work, but many of his ideas were used as the basis for the modern computer. (C: _____) The modern computer as we know it today is a result of lots of research and inventions of the past. The following paragraphs will show you the evolution of this miraculous machine. (D: _____) In the period called the Scientific Revolution, which began circa 1540 and lasted until 1687, many scientists tried to find ways of calculating. As a consequence, other computational devices were invented. In 1642, Blaise Pascal invented the first mechanical calculator. In 1673, Gottfried von Leibniz invented another calculating device. (E: _____) The Scientific Revolution was followed by the Industrial Revolution, which started in England and brought many advances in technology. Several machines were developed in this period, and these machines later had a great impact on the development of computers.

(F: _____) During the same period that Babbage was working on his machines, Lady Ada Lovelace invented an arithmetic code for Babbage’s machine based on a binary system similar to the one used with modern computers. For this reason, she is considered to be the first programmer. (G: _____) The first calculating device used by man was the ten fingers of his hands. This explains why we still count in tens and multiples of tens. Then the abacus was invented, a device which uses small beads or stones to make calculations. This tool was used until the 16th century. It is still used today in some parts of the world to make arithmetical calculations. (H: _____) In 1804, Joseph Marie Jacquard invented a weaving loom which was “programmed” to make certain patterns on cloth. This “program” was a series of holes punched in paper cards according to a code, and it is very similar to the process used in punched cards of the first modern computers. (I:

) The Pre-History of Computers

(J: _____) Between 1943 and 1946, funded by the U.S. Army, John Mauchly and J. Eckert built the first major eletronic digital computer using vacuum tubes. The ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was huge and weighed about 30 tons. (K: _____) The developments which took place during World War II led to the advances made in the period that followed the war. The period after the war led to the subsequent generations of computers, which may be described as the modern age of computers. (L: _____) In 1944, Howard Aiken and some engineers from IBM completed MARK 1, an electromechanical calculating device controlled by punched cards. This first digital computer could figure out long lists of mathematical problems and was used military ballistics. c) Responda as seguintes perguntas: 1) Das informações apresentadas no texto, quais você já conhecia? _________________________________________________________________________________ 2) Que informação nova sobre a história do computador você achou mais interessante? _________________________________________________________________________________ 3) Sabemos que o computador é uma máquina moderna.

WHAT’S IS A COMPUTER? 1 Nowadays, in most modern societies, almost everybody has an idea about what a computer is. We depend on computers in every aspect of our lives whether we know how to use one or not. But does everyone really know how a computer works inside? A computer is an electronic machine which processes data and provides the results of the 5 processing as information. There are three basic steps in the computing process. The first one is input, which consists of feeding data into the computer’s memory. Then comes the processing: the program is run and the computer processes the data by performing a set of instructions. The third and final step is the output furnished by the computer, which allows the user to see the results either in printed from or on the screen. 10 The world of computers has created a specific language of its own. English words such as software and hardware are used worldwide and have been borrowed by many different languages. Software is information in the form of data and programs, and hardware refers to the electronic and mechanical parts that make up a computer system. Despite the constant presence of computers in most modern societies, it is a great mistake to 15 believe that everybody in the world is computer-literate, i.e., is familiar with computers and knows how to use them properly. In some contemporary societies, many people still have no idea about the existence of computers, and even in the so-called developed countries, there are lots of people who do not know or do not care about what a computer is.

HARDWARE The central processing unit, or CPU, is the heart of a computer. In addition to performing arithmetic and logic operations on data, it controls the rest of the system. Most CPU chips and microprocessors have four functional sections: (1)

the arithmetic/logic unit;

(2)

temporary storage locations;

(3)

the control section;

(4)

the internal bus.

Input devices let the users enter commands, data, or programs. Computer keyboards are the most common input devices. Another common input device, the mouse, is a mechanical device with buttons on the top and a rolling ball in its base. Other input devices include joysticks and trackballs. Light pens can be used to draw or to point to items or areas on the display screen. A digitizer pad translates images drawn on it with an electronic pen. Touch screens allow users to point to items or areas on the screen. Optical scanners “read” characters on a printed page and translate them into binary numbers that the CPU can use. Voice-recognition circuitry digitizes spoken words and enters them into the computer. Memory-storage devices. Most digital computers store data both internally (main memory) and externally (auxiliary storage units). A computer temporarily stores information internally on silicon randomaccess memory, or RAM, chips. Another type of internal memory consists of a series of read-only memory, or ROM, chips. Some auxiliary storage devices floppy disks, hard disks and magnetic tape store data by magnetically rearranging metal particles on disks and tapes.

Output devices let the user see the results of the computer´s data processing. The most common output device is the video display terminal (VDT), or monitor, which uses a cathode-ray tube (CRT) to display characters and graphics on a screen. Modems (modulator-demodulators) and disk drives are input/output devices. Printers generate hard copy, a printedversion of information stored in one of the computer´s memory systems.

NETWORK LAST MODIFIED: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2002

A group of two or more computer systems linked together. There are many types of computer networks, including:

local-area networks (LANs) : The computers are geographically close together (that is, in the same building). wide-area networks (WANs) : The computers are farther apart and are connected by telephone lines or radio waves. campus-area networks (CANs): The computers are within a limited geographic area, such as a campus or military base. metropolitan-area networks MANs): A data network designed for a town or city. home-area networks (HANs): A network contained within a user's home that connects a person's digital devices. In addition to these types, the following characteristics are also used to categorize different types of networks: topology : The geometric arrangement of a computer system. Common topologies include a bus, star, and ring. See the Network topology diagrams in the Quick Reference section of Webopedia. protocol : The protocol defines a common set of rules and signals that computers on the network use to communicate. One of the most popular protocols for LANs is called Ethernet. Another popular LAN protocol for PCs is the IBM token-ring network . architecture : Networks can be broadly classified as using either a peer-to-peer or client/server architecture. Computers on a network are sometimes called nodes. Computers and devices that allocate resources for a network are called servers. Questões sobre o texto e estudo do vocabulário: 1.

PRINTING CONCEPTS When users print, the computer completes several steps that involve a set of components including executable files, drivers, device interfaces, and dynamic-link libraries, which work together to create the printed output. Understanding how this process works helps you understand what happens when you print a document and how to solve printing problems. Printing has two parts: printing process and the print components. The two parts make the printing process possible. When printing to an Internet print server, the print server adds to the standard print process by creating an interface for users.

What´s an Algorithm? An algorithm is a sequence of instructions that tells how to solve a particular problem. Once the problem has been identified, the next step is to select the best method for solving it. If the problem is a familiar one, standardized algorithms may be available from program libraries. But if standard algorithms are not available or suitable, a new algorithm must be written and then added to the program library. An algorithm must be specified exactly, so there can be no doubt about what to do next, and it must have a finite number of steps. A computer program is an algorithm that is written in a language that a computer can understand, but the same algorithm could be written in several different languages. 

Mainframe, Minicomputer and Microcomputer

A mainframe is a large computer system comprised of a large central processing unit, separate memory banks, multiple data-storage devices and peripherals. It is found in computer installations which process immense amounts of data. This powerful machine has a larger repertoire of more complex instructions which can be executed more quickly. A minicomputer is much smaller than the mainframe computer. It was developed to perform limited functions in scientific environments with less computing capacity. It became possible to reduce the size of the computer with the replacement of vacuum tubes by transistors and the development of multicircuit `chips´. A microcomputer is the smallest of the three sizes of computers. The central processor of a micro, called the microprocessor, is built as a single semiconductor device, that is, the elements necessary to perform all the logical and arithmetic functions are manufactured as a single chip. The microprocessor literally contains a computer on a chip that can pass through the eye of a needle. 4) Complete as sentences com mainframe/minicomputer/microcomputer: a) b) c) d) e)

Magnetic Tape and Magnetic Disk Magnetic tape – it is one of the principal input/output recording media used with computers and is mainly used for storing intermediate results of computations and for compact storing of large amounts of data, in an ordered sequence. It is much cheaper to store information on tape than in the computer main memory or on a disk memory device, but it takes longer to locate a particular data item if it is stored on tape: data must be stored and accessed sequentially. Magnetic disk – it consists of a series of concentric paths or tracks each capable of storing data in magnetically coded form. It looks like a phonograph record and a series of disks is mounted on a vertical shaft. One or more access arms move into the disk to read or write the data stored on it. Disks may be hard (made out of aluminum) or floppy (made out of plastic). Disks may be permanently attached to the drive unit or they may be made up as removable disk packs. Disks may be made even more efficient by using laser beam to read and write data. As questões 7 e 8 devem ser respondidas em Português. 7) Qual é a definição, conforme o texto, de Disco Magnético? ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________. 8) Quais são os dois principais usos das Fitas Magnéticas? ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________. 9) Indique a ordem em que essas idéias ocorrem no texto: Magnetic Disk ( ) disks may be hard or floppy.

Third-Generation-1964-1971:Integrated-Circuits The development of the integrated circuit was the hallmark of the third generation of computers. Transistors were miniaturized and placed on silicon chips, called semiconductors, which drastically increased the speed and efficiency of computers. Instead of punched cards and printouts, users interacted with third generation computers through keyboards and monitors and interfaced with an operating system, which allowed the device to run many different applications at one time with a central program that monitored the memory. Computers for the first time became accessible to a mass audience because they were smaller and cheaper than their predecessors. Fourth-Generation-1971-Present:Microprocessors The microprocessor brought the fourth generation of computers, as thousands of integrated circuits were built onto a single silicon chip. What in the first generation filled an entire room could now fit in the palm of the hand. The Intel 4004 chip, developed in 1971, located all the components of the computer - from the central processing unit and memory to input/output controls - on a single chip. In 1981 IBM introduced its first computer for the home user, and in 1984 Apple introduced the Macintosh. Microprocessors also moved out of the realm of desktop computers and into many areas of life as more and more everyday products began to use microprocessors. As these small computers became more powerful, they could be linked together to form networks, which eventually led to the development of the Internet. Fourth generation computers also saw the development of GUIs, the mouse and handheld devices.

A collection of programs that enables you to store, modify, and extract information from a database. There are many different types of DBMSs, ranging from small systems that run on personal computers to huge systems that run on mainframes. The following are examples of database applications:    

computerized library systems automated teller machines flight reservation systems computerized parts inventory systems

From a technical standpoint, DBMSs can differ widely. The terms relational, network, flat, and hierarchical all refer to the way a DBMS organizes information internally. The internal organization can affect how quickly and flexibly you can extract information. Requests for information from a database are made in the form of a query, which is a stylized question. For example, the query SELECT ALL WHERE NAME = "SMITH" AND AGE > 35 requests all records in which the NAME field is SMITH and the AGE field is greater than 35. The set of rules for constructing queries is known as a query language. Different DBMSs support different query languages, although there is a semi-standardized query language called SQL (structured query language). Sophisticated languages for managing database systems are called fourth-generation languages, or 4GLs for short. The information from a database can be presented in a variety of formats. Most DBMSs include a report writer program that enables you to output data in the form of a report. Many DBMSs also include a graphics component that enables you to output information in the form of graphs and charts.

ABOUT CHIPS “Does anybody here know anything about chips?” Nobody expected such a question during an art class. Not from an old teacher of music. And he added, “ I must confess that I know nothing about chips. I really don´t know anything at all. Sometimes I feel like a Jurassic teacher. A quiet girl with curly hair asked shyly, “What do you want to know, professor? I have some information about it.” Lucy was her name. Everybody remained silent. No one sang. Nobody played. Lucy stood up and spoke up; “A computer consists of hundreds of parts, including a monitor, a mouse, disk drives and a keyboard. Inside the computer is a circuit board. It houses all sorts of microchips, including those for ROM (read-only memory) and RAM (random-access memory). Mounted on the circuit board is a microprocessor, which is housed n a protective container and connected to rows of gold-plated pins. Inside the microprocessor package is the chip itself. This tiny square of silicon is packed with transistors that process instructions and data for the computer. A chip can process 500 million instructions every second and it has the size of a fingernail. After this explanation everybody clapped their hands. The teacher said. Where have you learned all this, Lucy, my dear? “Well”, she said, I´ve read it from an old magazine at the library.

Já que o objetivo do inglês instrumental é diferente (estratégias de leitura), atenha-se às regras e traduções abaixo, pois elas serão suficientes para nosso propósito. CAN: Usamos CAN (do) para dizer que alguma coisa é possível ou que alguém tem a habilidade/capacidade para fazer algo. Podemos usar com a forma negativa (CAN NOT / CANNOT ou CAN’T). Exemplo: Can you swim very fast? No I can’t, but I can play chess. COULD: algumas vezes o COULD é o passado do CAN. Nós usamos Could para dizer que alguém tinha habilidade geral para fazer alguma coisa. Podemos usar com a forma negativa (COULD NOT ou COULDN’T). Usamos Could especialmente com os seguintes verbos:

TO SEE

TO HEAR

TO SMELL

TO FEEL

TO REMEMBER

TO UNDERSTAND

TASTE Exemplo: My grandfather could speak five languages. MUST / MUSTN’T: Usamos MUST para dizer que nós temos certeza que alguma coisa é certa. Exemplos: 1. Fish must live in water. (necessidade) 2. Everybody must uphold laws. (obrigação) 3. He must be your father. (Dedução forte) 4. You mustn’t tell anyone what I said. (proibição) MAY: Usamos MAY e MIGHT para dizer que alguma coisa é possível ou seja, com 50% de certeza.. Também usamos para pedir permissão (de algo incerto, com baixa probabilidade ou mais formal). Não existe diferença importante entre MAY e MIGHT. Podemos dizer, por exemplo: “Paul may be in his office.” OU “Paul might be in his office.” (probabilidade) May I dance with your girlfriend? No, you may not. (permissão com baixa probabilidade)

SHOULD / SHOULDN’T: Geralmente usamos SHOULD quando pedimos ou damos uma opinião sobre alguma coisa. (frequentemente usamos I think/I don’t think/do you think). Exemplos: I don’t think you should work so hard. Mike shouldn’t drive really. He is too tired.

COMPUTERS: START POINT A computer is a machine capable of executing computations on data. The distinguishing feature of a computer is its ability to store its own instructions and to performance thousands of operations each second. The Abacus, on which information is stored by moving beads along rods, was one of the earliest calculating devices. Blaise Pascal developed an adding machine in 1642 that used toothed wheel to handle carries from on digit to the next. Charles Babbage developed the concept of a stored program computer when he designed a calculating engine in 1833. The first electronic digital computer was ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator), which was built for the U.S. Army in 1945. In the same year John Von Neumann introduced the modern concept of a stores program computer, in which the computer memory can store both programs and data. Since then computer technology has developed very much. (Adaptado de Galante, Inglês básico para informática,1992, p.9)

WHAT IS DESKLOOP? Imagine yourself at the center of a virtual loop where all the windows you use are spread out around you. Whichever window you need to view can be centered in front of you with a click of a button. Take this idea and zoom into your pc environment. With Deskloops, all the windows you have open are aligned side by side in a loop-like order. No more countless windows arranged one on top of the other in a confusing manner. You can access all the information you need and navigate through it easily. The loop can be rotated clockwise and counterclockwise simply by moving the cursor to the edge of the screen and using right click. Think of the loop as a dynamic rubber band; with each newly opened window the loop automatically grows. With every closed or minimized window, the loop becomes smaller. Anytime you want to return to the desktop, double click on Deskloops tray icon and the windows will shift aside in one swift motion. http://www.xilokit.com/deskloops/deskloops.html http://www.xilokit.com/deskloops/Deskloops_UserGuide.pdf

SOFTWARE SOFTWARE (Computer), computer program; instructions that cause the hardware (machine) to do work. Software can be divided into a number of categories based on the types of work done by programs. The two primary software categories are operating system which control the workings of the computer, and application software which addresses the multitude of tasks for which people use computers. Operating System includes programming languages and utility programs. Application Software includes software that executes accounting, word processing, data management, communications and graphics. Two additional categories are network software which enable groups of computers to communicate and language software which provide programmers the tools they need to write programs. See also OPERATING SYSTEM; PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.

SOFTWARE PIRACY Software piracy is the unauthorized and illegal duplication of copyrighted computer software. The most common forms include copying for personal use, for use among employees of a company, and for resale. The latter includes manufacturing of counterfeit packages that pretend to be originals. Piracy is the most widespread computer crime. The Software Publishers Association (SPA), the principal trade group of the personal computing software industry, estimated that in 1994 the industry lost $8.08 billion worldwide due to illegal copying of operating systems, education, entertainment, or personal productivity software.

VIRTUAL REALITY Researchers in computer imaging technology are developing systems by which users can experience a simulated three-dimensional reality (3D). This simulated reality is known as virtual reality (VR). Sometimes the term cyberspace is used as synonym with VR. Since the 1970s, technologists have learned how to produce animated computer images of objects that exhibit colors, textures and special changings. The images can also be subjected to changing light conditions and to simulated effects of gravity and other forces. The results can look as real as actual motion pictures. The further aim of technologists is to make it for person t “enter” and actually manipulate VR. This is being achieved by having an observer who wears a headgear through which computer images are

displayed on small screens in front of the eyes. At the same time, gloves that are equipped with sensors are transmitting apparent changes of body orientation in VR. A simpler form of these VR techniques is seen in the flight simulators used for training pilots. Adapted from: Grolier Electronic Publishing, Inc., 1996 

OPERATING SYSTEM

The most important program that runs on a computer. Every general-purpose computer must have an operating system to run other programs. Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system has even greater responsibilities and powers. It is like a traffic cop -- it makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems can be classified as follows: multi-user : Allows two or more users to run programs at the same time. Some operating systems permit hundreds or even thousands of concurrent users. multiprocessing : Supports running a program on more than one CPU. multitasking : Allows more than one program to run concurrently. multithreading : Allows different parts of a single program to run concurrently. real time: Responds to input instantly. General-purpose operating systems, such as DOS and UNIX, are not real-time. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run. The application programs must be written to run on top of a particular operating system. Your choice of operating system, therefore, determines to a great extent the applications you can run. For PCs, the most popular operating systems are DOS, OS/2, and Windows, but others are available, such as Linux. As a user, you normally interact with the operating system through a set of commands. For example, the DOS operating system contains commands such as COPY and RENAME for copying files and changing the names of files, respectively. The commands are accepted and executed by a part of the operating system called the command processor or command line interpreter. Graphical user interfaces allow you to enter commands by pointing and clicking at objects that appear on the screen. Vocabulário 1. Passe para o Português as expressões abaixo retiradas do texto: a.

FILME: PIRATES OF SILICON VALLEY Vamos falar um pouco da história de grandes empresas como a Microsoft e Apple, que estão relacionadas a sua área de estudo. Para isso, faremos uma análise e comentaremos as partes principais do filme “Pirates of Silicon Valley”. Posteriormente, você o assistirá ! Os Piratas do Vale de Silício (1999) é um “docudrama” dirigido por Martyn Burke, baseado no livro: “Fogo no Vale”, que documenta a ascensão do computador doméstico ou PERSONAL COMPUTER. Mostra a rivalidade entre os computadores da Apple (Apple II e o Apple Macintosh) e os da Microsoft (Altair de MITS, DOS, PC da IBM, e Windows).

A história central do filme começa nos anos 70, no campus de Berkeley UC durante o período do movimento livre do discurso e as atribulações do estudante Bill Gates, dos trabalhos de Steve, dos amigos

de infância (Noah Wyle) e do Steve Wozniak (Joey Slotnick), que daria forma ao computador da Apple, o do amigo Paul Allen (Josh Hopkins), que iniciaria a Microsoft. Na primeira cena, Steve Jobs e Steve Wosniak aparecem nos preparativos da produção de um comercial que ficou muito famoso nos EUA. Trata-se do lançamento do Machintosh. Esse comercial foi exibido uma única vez, num evento de visibilidade muito grande (uma final de campeonato esportivo); o equivalente no Brasil seria uma final de campeonato nacional de futebol. Steve Jobs , vivido pelo ator Noah Wyle, olha para a câmera com um ar maníaco e diz: “Não quero que você pense nisso só como um filme. Nós estamos reescrevendo a história da humanidade.” Pirates of Silicon Valley, de 1999, conta a história do computador pessoal de um jeito muito divertido, apesar de conter exageros. Retrata com precisão as diferenças entre os grandes inventores do computador pessoal: Jobs, Bill Gates e a IBM. Assista agora ao filme e anote os aspectos relevantes da história. Posteriormente, você responderá algumas questões sobre ele; portanto, fique atento!

1) Qual foi o primeiro microcomputador comercialmente lançado?Por qual empresa? Esse computador teve sucesso? Por quê? 2) Cite uma cena empreendedora do filme que para ser descrita use-se o termo capitalismo de risco. 3) Cite duas cenas em que empresas grandes observaram tecnologias inovadoras e não lhes deram valor (cite a empresa e a tecnologia). Por que essas empresas foram incapazes de reconhecer o potencial dessas tecnologias? 4) Quem disse a frase “O lucro está no hardware, e não no software? Descreva a cena em que isso foi dito.Comente essa frase. 5) Por que a mudança de percepção de valor que o mercado dava para hardware e software mudou tanto do momento em que essa frase foi dita para o momento atual? 6) Cite cenas do filme que para serem descritas use-se o termo inteligência competitiva. 7) Cite alguns comentários feitos por Bill Gates sobre estratégias comerciais. O que você acha delas? 8) Descreva as expectativas de Paul Alen e do dono da Seatle Computers no momento em que ele pretendia comprar DOS dele. 9)Qual era o risco de Paul Alen no caso de não conseguir comprar o produto? Qual era a percepção de valor que o dono da Seatle Computers tinha sobre o DOS? 10) Quem era o autor da frase:”Bons artistas copiam, grandes artistas roubam?” Comente essa frase. 11) Com relação à Direito e Ética, o que podemos concluir sobre o filme? 12) No decorrer do filme apareceram vários grupos nominais, escreva cinco deles. 13) Justifique a frase: “ O grande sucesso de Bill Gates e Steve Jobs se deu através de suas habilidades comunicativas.”

Programming Languages Just as there are many human languages, so there are many computer languages. In the early days, people programmed using the computer´s binary code, or what we call `machine language´. When this became difficult, mnemonics were used to make life easier. This is called `assembly language´ programming. Finally, there are the high-level languages like BASIC, FORTRAN, and ALGOL. These are much more similar to everyday language, and are translated directly or indirectly into the computer´s machine code using the computer´s firmware. BASIC is the language most often used to introduce programming. 

Some help

just as = assim como in the early days = no princípio, no início mnemonics = arte de desenvolver a memória mediante processos auxiliares como a associação. to make easier = tornar mais fácil high-level = alto nível firmware = ´software` armazenado em ROM em vez de disco 1) Sabendo-se que a expressão “computer´s binary code” está no Caso Genitivo; a correspondente em Português é: a) b) c) d) 2)

computador de código binário computação binária de código código de computação binária código binário do computador Retire do texto outras duas expressões que estejam no Caso Genitivo:

a) _________________________________________________. b) _________________________________________________.

Machine Language This is the language which the computer actually understands inside itself. Machine language statements are written in a binary code, and each statement corresponds to one machine action. A program written in high-level language is often called a `source program´, and it cannot be directly processed by the computer until it has been compiled, which means interpreted into machine code. Usually a single instruction written in a high-level language, when transformed into machine code, results in several instructions. But some computers can be programmed directly in machine code. 

Some help

statements = programas são compostos por `statements´, isto é, instruções, comandos. compiled = traduzido em linguagem de máquina; compilado. a single = um única 3) Transcreva da sentença o Grupo Nominal nela existente e passe toda a sentença Português:

machine code machine language source program several instructions Assinale a alternativa que preenche a afirmação de acordo com o texto:

“ Cada comando corresponde a _____________________________. a) um programa fonte b) um código binário c) um código de máquina d) um ação da máquina

Assembly Languages Assembly language is a programming language that talks fairly directly to the computer. Unlike machine language, which is what the computer understands, assembly language is mnemonic, so that it can be understood and remembered more easily by a human being; in fact, assembly language is really just machine language in mnemonic form. Assembly languages are specific to a given CPU chip and are named after it (8080 assembly language, 6809 assembly language, etc.) They are harder to program than a high-level language, but they produce programs that are more efficient and run faster.  Some help fairly = quase are named = recebem o nome unlike = ao contrário de, diferente de after it de acordo com ele (chip just = apenas, justamente CPU = Central Processing Unit 5) Na sentença do texto que está sublinhada, o pronome “They” refere-se à palavra: a) languages b) CPU 6)

Complete as sentences com some ou any: There are ______________ complex Mathematical problems. I can´t find ______________ texts on `Time-sharing`. There isn´t ______________ time for transmitting new data. Do you have _____________ good marks? There are ______________ printers in this room.

High-Level Languages A high-level languages is a computer programming language designed to allow people to write programs without having to understand the inner workings of the computer. They are fairly close to natural languages like English and most have been written for one particular type of application or another. For example, ALGOL has been written for general applications, COBOL for business applications, FORTRAN for mathematics work and BASIC for general purpose introductory programming. High-level languages are easier to program than assembly languages, but generally produce programs that are less efficient and run slower. 

Some help

designed to = planned to = planejada, projetada inner workings = trabalhos internos, o que se passa dentro. close to = near = perto de, parecidas most = a maioria general-purpose = objetivo geral 8) a) b) c) d) 9)

Internet

Internet started in 1969, in a military project in which 21 computers were linked. This means that a person in one oh those computers could read the files of any other computer in the same network. This project was called ARPANET. During the 70´s and 80´s, computer technology developed vary fast. Networks were developed, like the ARPANET.You will do everything through Internet: shopping, electronic forums, debates etc. The Internet will be the necessary basis for our everyday life.

JAVA

Who is the champion in the world about plataforms! If you said windows, you’re wrong. The champion in technology is Java. It was created by “sun” to work in receptors of cable TV, adapted for Internet and later to PDAs, cell phones and similars. Java is a program language. Softwares that are writen in this “language” can be executed in any dispositive, since it has the operational system. This independence is possible due to the fact that this technology is based in a complex software that permits to execute any order. The name arose from a conversation among programmers in a coffee shop – Java is one kind of coffee from Java island. From the name, others have arisen at the same time: Java beans – Hot Java- only to exemplify. The stylistic cup is the famous reference. And there is one thing that only programmers know. The first four bytes of any file class are in hexadecimal, OXCAFEBABE. Finally, about micro Edition, we have Java me, more known as Jame.

HOW IS COMPUTER USED? A computer is used first as a number processor, to continue to perform accurate and quick computations. Second, as data processor, to handle, process, and print huge quantities of data. Third, as an information analyzer, to aid and improve decision-making. And finally, as a knowledge processor, to make available to the public vast banks as information through electronic channels called networks. Examples of these four major users are:  Adding up the daily transactions at a bank (number processing)  Printing the charge account statements of a major department store (data processing)  Projecting sales for an industrial manufacturer (information analyzing);



Planning a vacation schedule (knowledge processing). Source: (Galante, Inglês para informática.)

VOCABULARY Accurate = careful and exact = precisas, certeiras. Quick = speedy, rapid = velozes, rápidas. Huge = immense, enormous = enormes, colossais, imenso, vasto. Decision-making = tomada de posição / tomada de decisão. Available = acessible = disponíveis, acessíveis. Networks = redes (de comunicação). Adding up = achar a soma de Charge account statements = relatórios de contas de crédito e débito. Vacation schedule = escala ou programação de férias. Aid = auxiliar. Major = principal To handle = manipular

COBOL COBOL is a third-generation programming language, and one of the oldest programming languages still in active use. Its name is an acronym for COmmon Business-Oriented Language, it´s defining its primary domain in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments. The COBOL 2002 standard includes support for object-oriented programming and other modern language features. History and specification In a meeting held at the Pentagon on May 28 and 29, 1959, organized by Charles Phillips, COBOL was initially created in 1947 by The Short Range Committee, that was formed to recommend a short range approach to a common business language. It was made up of members representing six computer manufacturers and three government agencies. In particular, the six computer manufacturers were Burroughs Corporation, IBM, Minneapolis-Honeywell (Honeywell Labs), RCA, Sperry Rand, and Sylvania Electric Products. The three government agencies were the US Air Force, the David Taylor Model Basin, and the National Bureau of Standards (Now NIST). This committee was chaired by a member of the NBS. An Intermediate-Range Committee and a LongRange Committee were proposed at the Pentagon meeting as well. However although the Intermediate Range Committee was formed, it was never operational; and the Long-Range Committee was never even formed. In the end a sub-committee of the Short Range Committee developed the specifications of the COBOL language. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COBOL Leia o texto acima, aplique as estratégias de leitura e responda:

LOADING THE DOCUMENT Up to 20 pages can be placed in the feeder at one time. The pages will be automatically fed into the fax starting from the page on the bottom.  

If you need to send or copy more than 20 pages, place the additional pages gently and carefully in the feeder just before the last page is scanned. Do not try to force them in, as this may cause double-feeding or jamming. If your document consists of several large or thick pages which must be loaded one at a time, insert each page into the feeder as the previous page is being scanned. Insert gently to prevent double-feeding. Adjust the document guide on the right side of the feeder to the width

of your document. ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ 2 Place the document face down and push it gently into the document feeder. The top edge of the document should enter the fax first.

The feeder will draw the leading edge of the document into the fax. READY TO SEND will appear in the display. You can now make resolution and/ or contrast settings as described in the following section, or dial the other party as described in the section, “ Dialing and transmission”.

Important If you need to remove the document from the feeder before the transmission or copying, first open the operation panel by pulling the front edge up and then remove the document. If you try to pull out the document without opening the operation panel, you may damage the feeder mechanism. 

Wireless Networking The term wireless networking refers to technology that enables two or more computers to communicate using standard network protocols, but without network cabling. Strictly speaking, any technology that does this could be called wireless networking. The current buzzword however generally refers to wireless LANs. This technology, fuelled by the emergence of cross-vendor industry standards such as IEEE 802.11, has produced a number of affordable wireless solutions that are growing in popularity with business and schools as well as sophisticated applications where network wiring is impossible, such as in warehousing or pointof-sale handheld equipment. There are two kinds of wireless networks: a. An Hoc or Peer-to Peer wireless network consists of a number of computers each equipped with a wireless networking interface card. Each computer can communicate directly with all of the other wireless enabled computers. They can share files and printers this way, but may not be able to access wired LAN resources, unless one of the computers acts as a bridge to the wired LAN using special software. (This is called "bridging") Figure 1: Ad-Hoc or Peer-to Peer Networking. Each computer with a wireless interface can communicate directly with all of the others.

b. A wireless network can also use an access point, or base station. In this type of network the access point works like a hub, providing connectivity for the wireless computers. It can connect (or "bridge") the wireless LAN to a wired LAN, allowing wireless computer access to LAN resources, such as file servers or existing Internet Connectivity. There are two types of access points: i. Dedicated hardware access points (HAP) such as Lucent's WaveLAN, Apple's Airport Base Station or WebGear's AviatorPRO. (See Figure 2). Hardware access points offer comprehensive support of most wireless features, but check your requirements carefully. ii. Software Access Points which run on a computer equipped with a wireless network interface card as used in an ad-hoc or peer-to-peer wireless network. (See Figure 3) The Vicomsoft InterGate suites are software routers that can be used as a basic Software Access Point, and include features not commonly found in hardware solutions, such as Direct PPPoE support and extensive configuration flexibility, but may not offer the full range of wireless features defined in the 802.11 standard.

With appropriate networking software support, users on the wireless LAN can share files and printers located on the wired LAN and vice versa. Vicomsoft's solutions support file sharing using TCP/IP. Figure 2: Hardware Access Point. Wireless connected computers using a Hardware Access Point.
