Google has provided us with a rare opportunity to see their data centers 

around the world, thanks to which every day we can use the services of 

this global Internet company. This is a real maze of servers that handle 

online queries into a search engine, show us a video on YouTube, and 

deliver emails to millions of people. Hundreds of thousands of servers, 

colorful cables and even bicycles to move the employees of the centers - in 

this collection you will find and data centers in the former paper mill 

in Finland, and specially designed server centers in Iowa, USA. 

 

1. Few people have seen data centers Google, and for good reason, because the most important - is the security of our data. Therefore, each center is carefully protected.

 

2. Despite the large number of Google employees around the world, only a handful of insiders has access to the servers.

 

3. Now you can see the first images which capture the people, places and equipment, through which runs Google.

Google has been founded in California in January 1996 as a research

 project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were both studying 

in graduate school at Stanford University. 15 years later, Google is one 

of the most recognizable brands in the world. The company manages 

more than one million servers in data centers (DC) around the world, 

and processes over one billion search requests and twenty-four petabytes 

of user data each day, bringing incredible profits to its owners. Part of 

this income is invested in creating the most comfortable and pleasant 

working environment, which each employee can only dream of.

10 projects on the future of Google

                                  Teacher  Phaitoon  Yaemprasuan      : http://picta55.blogspot,com

As you know, Google - is not only a search engine: The company is a world leader in the creation of gadgets, internet services, and more. The most curious development team is engaged in a secret Google X, and among their projects -  here are 10 ideas that the Internet giant seeks to bring to life.

1. Car without a driver will make road traffic safer

Experts of Google X for several years working on the project Driverless Car Program.
Negotiations are underway with the authorities for permission to test the self-governing vehicles on public roads - as long as this agreement only states of California and Nevada.
A fleet of ten vehicles with test systems allow run over more than 480 thousand km (as of August of 2012), and of course, tests are continuing. However, it is unclear when such a system will be commercially available.

2. Google Glass will change the way you think about gadgets

Having put on those glasses, you can forget about the screens of smartphones and computers - the right information will always be available in only one eye movements.
One way to look up - and before you calendar, email, social networks, weather, in general, everything that you want.
Google Glass makes a revolutionary technology available to a wide range of people so far only a few lucky people, mostly developers and journalists were able to get a working prototype of points, but the consumers opportunity arises next year.
  
3. "Smart House" according to Google

The technology, called Android @ Home, will fully automate all of the life support system by connecting to the Internet, for example, while you are not home, a refrigerator will be able to order the necessary products itself, and coffee maker to make coffee exactly to your arrival.
Android @ Home will connect all electrical appliances.

4. Space elevator

According to published in the journal «Time» information Google X team in 2011, the year included the idea of ​​a "space elevator" in the so-called list of "What if ...". I must say, the very concept of this method of delivery to the orbit of people and goods put forward by K. Tsiolkovsky in 1895, the year.
Do not wait for Google's early implementation of this idea - the development of "lift into orbit," presents many technical challenges, and all the more likely to say that to implement this idea in life is impossible. However, it's probably Google thus "cover their tracks" to save the process of developing a secret.

5. Watch a smartphone based on Android

Recently, it was reported that Google is preparing a direct competitor iWatch from Apple - a watch, combined with the smartphone: of course, watches SmartWatch smartphone from Google will use the operating system Android.
This latest «must have»-new to the gadget lovers will be available early next year.

6. Google will take care of your health

The Internet giant has a stake in the company Adimab, engaged in the development of diagnostics and treatment of various diseases, which would bring a variety of technologies and methods to combat diseases. The revolutionary idea is the invention of miniature sensors involved in the search and optimization of antibodies produced by the body - to start treatment only need to swallow such a sensor.
Another development in the field of Google Health is a subsidiary of iPierian, creating the technology of "cellular reprogramming» (cellular reprogramming), which will fight the disease by modifying cells.

7. Internet airships cover the entire planet wireless

Google's ambitions as a provider of Internet reached all-time highs - the company is developing airships that will provide wireless connectivity the entire planet, including remote regions in Africa and other parts of the Earth.
If the project is realized, the "world wide web" will get about another 1 billion people - mostly residents of the "third world."

8. Game console based on Android

The popularity of the Android platform is growing all over the world, and Google is seeking to use its potential to the maximum.
«Wall Street Journal» spoke about the development of the gaming console from Google, which is designed to be a "killer" similar technology "Yabloko» - Apple TV: game console from Google allows you to run any Android-games directly on your home television.

9. The way Google determines the development of smart phones Motorola

Buy Google of Motorola Mobility (transaction was $ 12.5 billion) to become the owner of the first allowed 24.5 thousand patents and designs.
Under the wing of the Internet giant will release a smartphone Motorola Moto X based on Android, which has all the modern features and characteristics, as well as, of course, a number of trendy "chips", which has no rivals - release date already quite close.
 

10. Eco-friendly sources of energy

The company Makani Power - developer of advanced technologies in the use of wind and solar energy: Google previously invested in the company a lot of money, and recently acquired in its entirety and included in the project, which deals with Google X. 
The best-known development Makani Power - wind turbines, hovering at an altitude of almost 300 m to 650 m-minute and allow to generate electricity out of thin air.

Home Networks

by  Teacher  Phaitoon  Yaemprasuan  :  occupatech@gmail.com

 I have known from students of my computer classes that the Internet connection at their homes is of TOT provider. Yes, my internet service provider (ISP) is TOT too. What/how is my home network?  The modem-router is the main device of the network because it plays many roles as of the followings : -
   1) to simulate itself like a server computer
   2) to act as a hub/switch of the wired connection
   3) to be an access point sending packets of the wireless connection
   4) to play as an ADSL modem connecting Internet
   5) to be a router managing the how-to connect to other devices
Be sure, most of our home network is hybrid. One is wired while another is  wireless. Although a home network is not complex, but its system is so smart and its Internet connection is so clever with the ADSL technology. The superstar is a "modem-router", the genius device.

The composition of any home network (e.g. home internet connection of students)

     UTP :  Unshielded Twisted Pair cables are so common in any computer rooms  e.g. classroom102 of our school. The UTP cable is caped with a connector which is called RJ-45. The RJ-45 connector will be inserted into the LAN port of any Ethernet card/router/switch/hub. (The RJ-11 connector of the phone line is smaller than RJ-45).
 What is ADSL? (www.wikipedia.org) : It is "Asymmetric DigitalSubscriber Line" technology. This is a data communications technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone lines than a conventional modem can provide. (Modem is a device that manages the joint communication between the phone and the computer.)
Another one I would like to refer to is "protocol". What is it?A protocol is a system of digital message formats and rules for exchanging those messages in or between computing systems and in telecommunications. And in our network we use the TCP/IP (comes from "Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol). Now Thailand uses IPv4 protocol, but Thai government by Prime Minister Yingluck  Shinawatra is going to change the Internet protocol of the country with another version, IPv6 protocol, which has more capacity and efficiency of transmission.

Because each computer of the network has its own unique "IP-address", what/how is it? As I have just told you (see, first paragraph) that the modem-router simulates itself like a server computer, sure its IPaddress must be static, e.g. (IPv4) 192.168.2.1, 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1 etc. , on the other hand it lets the other connected computer the dynamic/automatic IPaddress. Yes, the modem-router of the home network is the gateway to Internet.

Teacher's home network PC/Modem-router IPaddress Configuration

I use the "IPCONFIG" command to see what/how my home PC/modem-router IPaddress configuration by typing the command at the command line of Windows and what I knows are the followings
... 192.168.2.1  is the IPaddress (IPv4) of my modem-router, Belkin brand.

... 192.168.2.3  is the IPaddress (IPv4) of my PC, configured by the modem-rounter
Yes, each other computer in the network can never be configured with a static IPaddress because the modem-router as the server PC/the gateway PC cannot share Internet connection anyway.
