HDTV
HDTV (or HD,or High Definition Television) is a television system that boasts twice the scanning lines than traditional Standard Definition Television (SDTV or SD)
HDTV or HD generally has 1-2 million pixels per frame,or around 5 times of the resolution of Standard Definition Television (SDTV or SD)
HDTV or HD is now the highest quality television with widescreen of 16:9,which is the same ratio of a movie screen.
In terms of resolution,more scanning lines make better quality picture and progressive scan (p) is better than interlaced (i),as it processes the image twice as fast,leading to better clarity and more lively color.
On HDTV labels,we can see something like 720p,1080i and 1080p.These are the terms to identify its resolution quality.For buying decision,HDTV with 1080p is the best,while the difference of pictures from 720p and 1080i are very minimal.But for small size HDTV up to 32 inches,pictures produced by either 1080p or 720p are not significantly different

Desktop
In the early time of computer age,a computer had a very large size.It took a space of a few rooms.Minicomputer,which came later,was much smaller but it's size still as big as a refrigerator.Computer was small enough to fit on the top of a desk or a table in 1971.It was then called a "Desktop Computer",or in short a "Desktop".But don't call it a "Tabletop" please ! as this is not familiar in the computer business.
Desktop computer is designed to fit in an individual workspace,i.e.in the office or at home.As it was for individual use,thus also called a "Personal Computer" or a "PC".
Desktop can be connected and share resource such as printer via a Local Area Network or LAN.Desktop spare parts and extensions are normally standardized.This makes it cheaper in terms of production cost and enable it for customization and upgrading.
Desktop is powered from electricity and it's safe from heat problem,even being used for long hours.

GPS
GPS or Global Positioning System was designed by the U.S.military around 20-30 years ago.GPS was used in many military operations including the Operation Desert Storm in 1992.A few years later,GPS was allowed for civilian use.
What can GPS do for us ? GPS can show us our exact position on the earth anytime, no matter how bad the weather is or how far away from our destination.
As quoted from The Library of Congress's Everyday Mysteries Pages,
"GPS answers five questions simultaneously:
1. "Where am I?"
2. "Where am I going?"
3. "Where are you?"
4. "What's the best way to get there?"
5. "When will I get there?""
Everyday we drive a car.If we install a GPS receiver,we will have a clear picture and confidence in our journey.GPS helps us reach our destination effortlessly,while we can get the most of our journey.

e-Book ! What's it ?
Man created alphabet and language a few thousand years ago.Drew or wrote it on stone,wood,bamboo,leather and cloth.
After the invention of paper and printing,alphabet and language was written and printed on paper.This has been for a long time period of around 2,500 years until now.As we all experienced,books we read no matter it's a textbook or novel, they were printed in paper.
Now in our days,here comes a new invention in book writing technology.They call it e-book. No matter they write it e-book,e-Book,E-book or E-Book,they mean it the same-"electronic book"
We need some software programs to write it.And of course,to read it,we also need the programs.
Most of us are reader I think.Then,we will need to download those software programs in our computer,otherwise,we cannot read it. Anyway,an alternative,which is more convenient is to read it by an e-book reading device.
For those who want to write an e-book,they have to learn and download a software program and do it from there.Adding some pictures and links for more information to other blogs or websites. The later is considered as an advanced tip to book writing innovation,which traditional paper book cannot do it.

Electronics
ELECTRONICS
Electronics is that branch of science and technology which makes use of the controlled motion of electrons through different media and vacuum. The ability to control electron flow is usually applied to information handling or device control. Electronics is distinct from electrical science and technology, which deals with the generation, distribution, control and application of electrical power. This distinction started around 1906 with the invention by Lee De Forest of the triode, which made electrical amplification possible with a non-mechanical device. Until 1950 this field was called "radio technology" because its principal application was the design and theory of radio transmitters, receivers and vacuum tubes.
Most electronic devices today use semiconductor components to perform electron control. The study of semiconductor devices and related technology is considered a branch of physics, whereas the design and construction of electronic circuits to solve practical problems come under electronics engineering. This article focuses on engineering aspects of electronics.
An electronic component is any physical entity in an electronic system used to affect the electrons or their associated fields in a desired manner consistent with the intended function of the electronic system. Components are generally intended to be connected together, usually by being soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB), to create an electronic circuit with a particular function (for example an amplifier, radio receiver, or oscillator). Components may be packaged singly or in more complex groups as integrated circuits. Some common electronic components are capacitors, resistors, diodes, transistors, etc. Components are often categorized as active (e.g. transistors and thyristors) or passive (e.g. resistors and capacitors).
Circuits and components can be divided into two groups analog and digital. A particular device may consist of circuitry that has one or the other or a mix of the two types
