Display Resolution

The display resolution is the number of pixels displayed on a computer's monitor or desktop. In most PCs it can be reset in the control panel.
Most HP computers have a choice of 3 which you can choose from. These options are:
640x480
800x600
1024x786

Although, on my laptop I can pick the resolution I want, I have a choice between 800x600 and 2048x1536.

I used the W3Schools website to gain the following information:
The current trend is that more and more computers are using a screen size of 1024x768 pixels or more:






The current trend is that most computers use 24 or 32 bits hardware to display 16,777,216 different colours.
Older computers and laptops often use 16 bits display hardware. This gives a maximum of 65,536 different colours.
Handheld computers (and very old computers) often use 8 bits colour hardware. This gives a maximum of 256 colours.




This data I have collected shows that gradually, lower resolution computers, or any type of monitors attached to a hard drive is slowly fading out.

Glogster

Sorry this is late, but nonetheless, here it is!!

So in ICT, we we're asked to research a website called Glogster.
www.glogster.com is a form of social networking.(with multimedia enhances within the website, it's not as boring as your basic social networking websites like Facebook)

To use this website you are asked to register. Once you've done that you can use the many features (e.g. photos,graphics,audio,text & video) to show yourself, e.g your mood (sort of like painting on a canvas, but its on the computer instead!),
Glogster is a new way to communicate, the website is pretty easy to you. You can choose a background, throw some funky pictures from Glogster (or upload your own, you an do this using a link from another website, or you load directly from you computer), add text, your own videos and even some cool tunes.
Within minutes you can create a digital noticeboard showing you, and everything about you.
I like this website. =]
