Computer Conferencing (Tele Conferencing or Video Conferencing)

The Video Conferencing allows persons sitting at different places to participate in a conference. It is
also known as online conferencing. The participants are at their PCs or terminals. This allows people
to meet at a common time and communicate over long distances. Executives can save a lot of time by
avoiding travel to participate in a conference.

3. Internet

Now-a-days Internet has made information service very easy. One can get almost all kinds of
information on Internet in every sphere of life, such as arts, science, medicine, engineering,
agriculture, business, industry and so on. E-Mail is the oldest and also the most widely used
communication method today. With the help of Internet, Electronic Mail (e-mail) messages are
delivered and received.

4. E-Commerce

5. Satellite Communications

A communication satellite is a repeater station in the space that is used for telecommunication of
radio and television signals. To transmit large volume of data at high speed, broad channels are
employed. Communication satellites are the most widely used broadband channel today. A satellite is
the fastest and cheapest medium for the transmission of voice, text, video, data and pictures over
lengthy distances. At first, the data are sent to the satellite from one earth station and it converts the
data into another form and sends it to the second earth station. Here the satellite acts as a reflector.
It accepts signals from one location on the earth and then sends the same signals to another location
on the earth.

6. Defence

Computers are extensively used in defence. Now-a-days smart weapons are being widely used
everywhere. These weapons are being widely used in military operations. These weapons use
microprocessor-based control systems. Modern tanks, torpedoes, missiles etc. use computerized
control systems. A guided missile uses internal computer for its control. Computer’s memory holds
the detailed map of the target area. Photographs of the target are taken and compared with stored
map before the missile hits the target. Such missiles can fly into dangerous zones without the risk of
pilot’s life. Computers play a very important role in military communications. Radar systems employ
computers to process data and display images. Computerized control systems provide much more
information about range, height etc. of the target. Today, aircrafts employ computers for their
controls and instrumentation. Fighter aircrafts are equipped with computers for their quick activity.
The computers also allow the pilot to interact with it.
