4G Technology:

Fourth generation communication technology is the next step for wireless communication system.

This 4G system is 200 times faster than present 2G mobile data rates and 10 times faster than present 3G broadband mobile.The data rate for present 3G broadband mobile rate is 2 Mbit/sec, where as 2G mobile data rate is 9.6 kbit/sec.

4G data rates and its merit:

4G mobile data transmission rates are planned to be up to 20 megabits per second which means that it will be about 10-20 times faster than standard ASDL services.

The main objectives of 4G are:

1)4G will be a fully IP-based integrated system.

2)This will be capable of providing 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s speeds both indoors and outdoors.

3)It can provide premium quality and high security.

4)4G offer all types of services at an affordable cost.

4G technology allow high-quality smooth video transmission. It will enable fast downloading of full-length songs or music pieces in real time.

New Operating System:

Windows is an world wide famous and realiable operating system for Computers.Microsoft launches its first widows operating system on 1985.Till now Microsoft presented various kind of windows operating system like windows 2000,Xp,Vista ..But In 2010 Microsoft totally going to change these concept by launching Cloud Based Operating System and rumors are there that MIDORI will be their first such operating system, which will replace Windows fully from computer map.

The main idea behind MIDORI is to develop a lightweight portable OS which can be mated easily to lots of various applications.

3D Processor Chip:

Scientist at University of Rochesterb have developed a new generation of Computer Processors. These processors are based on 3-Dimensional Circuits in contrary to 2-Dimensional Circuits of today.

This can be said as the next major advance in computer processors technology. The latest 3-D processor is running at 1.4 gigahertz in the labs of University.

This design means that every tasks such as Synchronicity, Power Distribution, and Long-Distance Signaling are all fully functioning in three dimensions for the first time
