  • Where Can Typewriters be Repaired
    Russian Politics and Law, 2010
    Co-Authors: E. Zavodian
    Abstract:

    I have been working for six years in the general office of the executive committee of the Khotin District Soviet. Over that period the supply of office equipment to executive committees of district and village soviets has improved considerably. Today every village executive committee in our district has Typewriters. Many of them even have Electric Typewriters.

  • JOSS — II: Design philosophy
    Annual Review of Automatic Programming, 2003
    Co-Authors: Joseph W Smith
    Abstract:

    Abstract JOSS ‡ is a multiuser, single-server computing system consisting of a collection of individual users' consoles connected to a central computing center by dual communication lines. The consoles are Electric Typewriters augmented by special electronics. The center consists of a general-purpose, digital computer, § with ancillary devices for storage and input/ output, and a collection of machine-language routines “permanently resident” in the high-speed core storage of the computer. There are three sets of routines: 1. (1) input/output routines for communicating with the users' consoles and their long-term (magnetic-disc) files; 2. (2) central-processing routines for interpreting and responding to requests typed by the users and for interpreting the users' stored programs; 3. (3) supervisory routines for general management and accounting, and for giving each user a fair and proportionate share of processing. The center may be considered a single, active agent that serves the consoles and the users by time-sharing its activities; that is, it turns its attention from user to user so rapidly and smoothly as to give individual users the illusion of a single-user, single-server system. The three collections of routines may be viewed as active subagents, operating concurrently and synchronized by a common purpose. With this viewpoint as an introduction to the system, the single, active agent, JOSS, is described in terms of 1. (1) the actions that can be requested of JOSS; 2. (2) the language for requesting the actions; and 3. (3) the parts played by the three sets of routines in servicing the users and carrying out the requests. Associated with each user is a collection of dynamically changing information: programs, data, information about actions initiated by the user, and other pertinent data. The central-processing routines service a user by processing his block of information. Although list structures are used extensively for storing information in the user's block, neither a general structure nor a general processor for lists is used. Instead, information is maintained in several distinct and simple list structures, whose representations are attuned both to the organization of the system's central computer and to the special nature of JOSS. These and other considerations concerning the storage and handling of information are discussed in detail. The organization of the central-processing routines mirrors the responsibilities of a central processing unit serving more than one user: communication with the users and with the supervisory routines; command interpretation and execution; intercommand sequencing and control; error diagnosis, control, and commentary. For purposes of storage and execution, commands typed by the users are represented as almost direct copies of the line typed by the user. The operation is interpretive: Although the execution of commands often requires that information be compiled and retained, no compilation in the usual programmatic sense is done. An extra level of interpretation controlled by a tabular representation of the rules for forming commands is not used. Instead, each type of command is handled by a distinct routine that “reads” like the rules for forming instances of the command type. These routines are composed, in the main, of direct examinations of the primitive tokens entering into the command, mixed with uses of reentrant subroutines for interpreting more complex expressions. The major routines are described in terms of requests that can be made of JOSS, and in terms of JOSS's interpretation of the requests and responses to valid and invalid ones. Many design points of both the language and the responses to requests in the language are discussed in detail, as are major points of implementation of the routines.

  • Assessing the Impact on the Job of Secretaries on the Use of Information Communication Technology in Public Institutions: The Case of Bolgatanga Polytechnic
    Journal of Culture Society and Development, 2020
    Co-Authors: Blonch Adombilla, Aburiya A. Diana, Azeesi Roger
    Abstract:

    This study basically aims at gathering information on the impact of office Information and Communication Technology on the performance of the professional secretary in Bolgatanga polytechnic. The descriptive survey method was used for this study. A total sample of 22 secretaries was used in this study. Questionnaires involving both open and closed ended questions were used to collect data. This study showed that there are computers, printers, photocopiers and telephones in every office of the secretaries in the polytechnic, however, not all the offices have Electric Typewriters, scanning machines, shredding machines, fax machines and duplicating machines. The result of the study also showed that all the secretaries accepted that the introduction of Information Communication Technology in their offices has helped staff to work faster than before, enhanced flexibility in their offices, and improves positively the performances level of secretaries. The secretaries also indicated that the main challenges of using ICT in secretarial duties were the instability in power system in the institution, the need for special training of personnel on the use ICT facilities, and protection against data loss. It was recommended that the Polytechnic should endeavour to organize training and development programmes that will enhance the effective performance of secretaries through acquisition of additional skills. Also, secretaries should always be ready and open-minded to acquire additional training/skills development, bearing in mind that changes occur frequently in the line of their chosen career.

  • Applying Web 2.0 Technologies to Traditional Teaching
    Encyclopedia of Information Communication Technologies and Adult Education Integration, 2020
    Co-Authors: Royce Ann Collins
    Abstract:

    Through out the years, teaching has evolved with each passing generation and adapted to the new technologies and new ways of instructing as the latest research is published. For example, once typing was taught with manual Typewriters, then Electric Typewriters. Now, the courses are called keyboarding and they are taught on computers. Currently, the teaching platform is evolving into a virtual world with collaborative, interactive web technologies. Addressing teaching from a learner-centered approach, this chapter will discuss the evolution of teaching as new generations of adults enter the learning environment and examine a case study of one instructor’s journey in incorporating new Web 2.0 technologies into courses.
