Video chat and drawing have always been a fascination for us. At that time, started as a Star Trek with video telephony in the series, people have always waited for the day when video communication will be part of our daily lives. Ladies and gentlemen as well, that day is here, and nobody seems to care. Applications such as Skype video calls we have made in recent times, but in the video chat still does not take off with everyone.

Here is an interesting fact. Video chat in the 21 Century, as we start to think, began already in 1964 was with AT & T. In 64 ', is AT & T developed what he calls a kind of giant picturefone it offers video calls. "" Basically, he sat down in front of your picturefone and on the other side of a screen for the user was talking about. The picturefone took pictures of you every two seconds and to provide processed in the receiver's display to an awkward simulation of a video call. In these days when it was announced was with great fanfare. However, in its application, it is complicated and people do not like it because it is too large, expensive and do not have to update the call, was all the time. The project was abandoned 1970th

This is a great analogy of what happened today until recently. Well, I could overkill, but if Skype in the early 2000s, came in 2003 to be exact, it took some time before making a large number of disciples. We look forward to an application that allows users to video call one of your contacts for free, and allows calls to mobile very cheap talk.

People complain that the video chat too much work, you must prepare to look good and to control their environment. Others do not like the fact that it will not actually a real conversation, because you always on the lookout for the person on the face. Others say that in general, people are lazy and do not want to participate in the work of video-communication, that you should pay attention to the speaker, especially when speaking.

I have one thing to say to these people, get over it. Video chat has its advantages, especially against some disadvantages. Things that we are now scratching cat video today is what is going on, to do video chat, to define our lives in the future is limited.

Make video calls to friends and family for free. It seems that the description of Skype, but if you think about it, you'll find that this will not be long until you, or video to all your friends and contacts call for free and never pay again call mobile operators, because some of the application enabled him to do it seamlessly. I mean that in mind, right to continue to pay for a support plan for $ 60 cell phone if you can call and text all your friends.

The meetings will be similar to a physical race to take pleasure. You're going to do if you really want to sweat, because all I had to do on the computer or TV will jump to and connect to the meeting or event and had to get involved. Parent-teacher will make it easier and more profitable. The same applies to meetings of the Board or AA meetings.

Social networks in real time. To make a new video on the net, he was to share live video with friends while watching the video-sharing at the same time as you and discuss with you in the video. Then, sports games and watch movies online with your friends connected with you, as if they were looking at a bar or movies were together.

After all have people who have always thought of the last things we use today, ever produced. Bill Gates said that you never need a computer with more famous than 256 KB of memory. Radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi, said he would never use the TV because people do not want to see live images in the boxes, it was too much work.

Remember, if you carry on maps to determine how to places that had gotten in the past, the online world? You may even be necessary to stop at a gas station and ask someone for directions, if they have lost, or the address of a great friend, before he come home. It can be difficult to find a way to reach new places and try new things, such as book clubs or meetings or classes, find, because you have trouble finding a way to go to New places.Fortunately could have now is the Internet, and We have this dilemma, because we have more services such as MapQuest to determine where we can go. The procedure to find the MapQuest is an easy task. MapQuest, with directions, so you want to come and go when your starting address and the address you enter. Route can be very detailed and comes with a card. As an example, say the things like "if you were in this street, went too far 0.2 km."

Who gives you the opportunity to explore new places and try new things that have not had the opportunity, could test up to MapQuest, is certainly a valuable thing. For example, say you find a restaurant online is incredibly beautiful in a different part of town they live, you can easily find a way to meet the unique address. Without the help of MapQuest, which is much more difficult. You could not even hear about these places and if I find the address is not in a position on a map.

To provide the most common indication conduct, you may ask, MapQuest will be maintained and better every day. MapQuest also takes into account things such as work place and transportation. Different channels can be added to MapQuest to you, too. So if you do not like driving on the highway, for example, the list MapQuest most likely at least two or three other ways to get to where you want to go through the recovery of roads or state highways, perhaps.

These alternate forms can help you to learn new areas. You can quickly learn how to make a few different ways you can find information about using MapQuest, and that is not trying to deny it. I recommend this excellent value website for manuals. This is a reliable website, and probably help you too, wherever they go, without having their way. Certainly you will see what I mean, if you just to prove, and it is well known.

Regardless of whether your device is protected against overvoltage protection devices with personally, but it is something that should be taken seriously, particularly when using sensitive equipment or expensive. The cost of protection against surges and basic protection against over voltage is minimal compared to the price of replacement equipment such as audio or video removal equipment.Surge actually for all electronic devices such as computer monitors used to be, televisions, printers and DSL. In fact, a computer, the semiconductor base. Some components of these devices are very sensitive to sudden changes in the blood, in particular the voltage increases.

Just as the work of protection against surges?

A surge protector is usually placed in the supply line between the output and the device to be protected. Some facilities to protect against power surges can also be used to protect telephone system, are on the phone line. Are designed to be thrown against what as spikes or by an electric circuit, can be many different actions to protect are known, some of them:

Short tripping breakers due to lack of maintenance OutagesFluctuations corrosion.Power wiring or power strike, power generation companyLightening

Overvoltage protection is to protect the rule against most eventualities, but lightning can generate enormous surges of voltage in the thousands of volts. Even with protection against voltage spikes, if there is a possibility of lightning, the team must be completely isolated from the network, including protection against overvoltage device. It should be noted that the beam do not directly affect on the amount of power lines to supply the consumer. Off-peak times lightning are usually in the order of several hundred volts and protective devices on the market designed to protect against power transients in that order.

A device intended to protect against voltage spikes is a rated voltage clamp, sometimes known as a trainee voltage. This is the voltage level at which the device to deflect the tension side of the line. The terminal voltage must be slightly more than the required voltage for the devices are protected. Most surge protectors have a terminal voltage somewhere in the region of 330-500 volts, 330 volts, which is very common.

Another parameter to consider when purchasing equipment protection against surges, the classification of protectors joules where one joule is a unit of energy. Note guards against surges are defined, how much energy can be absorbed when a transient voltage will be without the device. A well-designed protection device to absorb a certain quantity of energy before the error because of absorbing energy, the energy in the rest of the system is derived. A guard against over-voltages must be designed to fail within a reasonable time, therefore, to dissipate the energy of the earth and away from sensitive equipment. The higher the rating, the better protection of the designed rate and typical over-voltage protection for the house have qualifications in the order of 200 to 600 joules.

The time which the protective device in response to increased tension is known as a turnaround time. When the reaction time is too long, then the damage can be done, then look for devices with response times of about a nanosecond, should provide adequate protection.

Finally, over-voltage protection is a good sign for a visual representation of the unit offers complete protection to give. Most devices "burn" after a series of outbreaks, especially when these issues of great magnitude, because the metal oxide varistor (MOV) component has a limited life. Most bands of multi-socket power strip with no increase is seen as a fundamental protection against surges, after the MOV has still failed, but the display that do not know, would have.

If you currently have no protection against power surges, or are considering the purchase of new equipment or video equipment, then it would be wise to invest in a relatively inexpensive surge protector to protect your investment.
