wikipedia- is a free web-page encyclopedia that was created by larry sanger and- wiki. quik, pedia. encyclopidia. It is free and for editing collaborative (veni, vini, wiki - I came, I saw, I edited collaborative ) this means that pretty much anyone can write something in Wikipedia (which is why some teachers do not really like the web page) but there are 'moderators' who check that the information uploaded is correct and/or cited (though this can take a while). Wikipedia's logo is a puzzle ball with letters in different alphabets (like the W and the Greek omega). There are wikipedia entries in almost every language (even Nahutl), it has pages in around 100 languages.

kingston - it was invented in 1980, the 2 inventors found the company because they were unhappy with the memory shortage that there was, so once they founded it they began to produce memory, a few years later, they invented the flahs memory (usb memory stick), they were named the biggest growing company in the US, as well as the best company to work on in the US. even though the logos has change throughout the years it is always related with the memory of a man`s head.

apple - Apple was founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak while they were college age (both were college drop out). Apple II was the first personal computer. After that the Lisa was developed. Then came Macintosh (which was very much like the computers we know now a day since it had a mouse and a visual interface ). Apple developed the first 'esteticaly beautiful computer'. nowadays apple had a lot of products: including iphones and itouchs. apple claim to have invented the touchsreen, they did not, usually the figure men are not the inventors, the teamm behinf¡d them is.

touchscreen - the touchscreens are something that has been worked on since 1970, the first type of touch screen was the resistiver touch screen, which consists on 2 conductive layers with an electron flow, they are positioned one over the other, and then something (anything) makes contact with one of the layers, it pushes it down and a current is formed between the layers, then a PC interprets the data and gives you a touch location, this system is cheap, the clarity is bad and it is really cheap. Then the surface capacitive technology was created wich consists of 2 layers facing each other, but the way they make current to be interprete later is that a conductive material touches a layer, THEN, a current is formed and it is interpreted. After this one, came the multi touch, which apple claims they invented (they didn't), which works like the surface capacitive, but has a multitouch capacity, the optics are exellent and it is extremely precise.
