2. Go to Encyclopedia Online at http://library.spu.ac.th/ Search for the history of automobiles or computer. Summarize the information you get.

History Main article: History of computer science The early foundations of what would become computer science predate the invention of the modern digital computer. Machines for calculating fixed numerical tasks, such as the abacus have existed since antiquity. Wilhelm Schickard built the first mechanical calculator in 1623. Charles Babbage designed a difference engine in Victorian times helped by Ada Lovelace. Around 1900, punch-card machines were introduced. However, all of these machines were constrained to perform a single task, or at best some subset of all possible tasks.


3.What is the different between general book and reference book?

The Book of General is the first in a series of books based on the final round in the intellectual British panel game QI written by series-creator John Lloyd and head-researcher John Mitchinson to help spread the QI philosophy of curiosity to the reading public.It is a trivia book, aiming to address and correct the "comprehensive and humiliating catalogue of all the misconceptions, mistakes and misunderstandings in 'common knowledge'" - it is therefore known not as a 'General Knowledge' book, but as "General Ignorance".As well as correcting these "all-too-common" mistakes, the book attempt to explain how the errors have been perpetuated, and why people believe inaccurate 'facts' to be true.

Reference book Books are usually the easiest things to reference. Just remember that the author goes first, followed by the year, title, place published and publisher. When there are two authors, use an ampersand (&) to separate the last author. The title should be underlined or typed in italics.


4.When do you need to search information from the reference collection?

You may search these information during a search time,. A topic related to history. A meaning ofa specific topic.


5.What type of reference collection that you like to use most? And why?

Dictionary I can find the definition and examples from that. when people does not know what is the meaning of the words.



6. Copy 1 page of the book and write in the blog. 

I got is Manual Book Name of the book : Computer Networking Concepts
The topic I should is The Sound Recorder Program



Sound Recorder and the media Player. These programs can be found in Accesories group of Windows 3.1 and the higher. Other products that provide addtionalmultimedia functionality to windows are the media Browser, Videdit, Vid-Cap, BitEdit, and WaveEdit. These are provided with the Vidro for windows package from microsoft Corporation. The Sound Recorder tool allows the recording of analog sound into a digital format. It can also play back any digital recording. The quality of recording and playback will depend on the quality of the sound board used in the computer. The sound quality is measured by the sampling frequenc of the wave that makes up the sound. Frequence rangs are from 11 kilohertz up to 44 kilohertz. A higher frequency produces better-quality sound. For example CD-quality sound is achieved at the sampling frequencies of 44 kilohertz. Also, the boaed will determine if the sound can be recordes in sterro or mono. To record a sound: 1. Attach a microphone to yhe sound board. 2. Locate the Sound Recorder application in the Accessories group and the Sound Recorder icon. 3. Select the picture of a microphone.
