Printer link can save by changing fonts
That's right, fonts are not formed equally. People create special kinds of fonts for all kinds of reason, to pass on a message, for decoration, or as iconography.
The theory is, if you employ a 'lighter' font (with a lighter stroke), you'll use a little a lesser amount of ink per page. Based on the assumption that you're only printing with inkjet printers that use the old way cartridges, you'll probably keep about 10 percent ink by switching to one of the lighter fonts.

Email existed before the Globe Wide Web
You most likely don't even feel before composing a one-line email message and sending it. Although it wasn't always so easy. There's an attractive clip on YouTube: "How to throw an Email – Database – 1984". This was since a tech TV show called list and the presenters established what it took to really send an email back in individual’s days.
You had to use a computer and a rotary phone to connect to a service called Micro net. This was pre-WWW, so there were no URLs, just numbered web pages. For emails, the web page number was 7776.

QWERTY was designed to slow you down
There are really two theories to this. The first one starts to create sense when you look at manual typewriters. If a name typed also fast, the keys would jam. QWERTY located common alphabets at a space from each other and slow typists down.
A different assumption is that cable operators intended the QWERTY explain because it was easier (and faster) to crack Morse code.
Either way, there was no reason to keep using the layout, but it stuck or there was an argument to change. You can change your keyboard design to the faster Dvorak design in the talking settings.

92 percent of the world's coins is digital
This means that most of the money you earn carry out with, use to buy goods/services and so on exists only on computers and hard drives. Only a likely 7 percent of money globally is physical money.
All the black currency heaps come from within this 7 percent. This is a light view that economists seem to be in agreement on though, not an exact figure. This low quantity seems pointless but when you stop to think, it makes sense believe that most large transactions are done automatically anyway.
Banks store electronically too and the 92 per cent includes all kinds of transactions done using credit/debit cards and wire transfers. Might be a good idea to resume all those hacker movies anywhere a nerdy computer hacker manages to draw billions off in just a few minutes.

Domain name registrations were free
Nobody actually knew what the internet was competent of hold up then and this was a huge chance for the public to own all kinds of doing field names. It was in 1995 that a company called Network Solutions was decided the rights to charge people for domain names. And it was luxurious too: prices in progress at 100 dollars per two years of the list.
As much as 20 per cent of this was a fee that went to the Universal Science basis to create an 'Internet academic Infrastructure Fund'.

The inventive Tron was slighted for 'cheating'
Geeks force knows the movie Tron starring Jeff Bridges. Bridges acting Kevin Flynn, the software engineer who gets digitized and downloaded into cyberspace where he interacts with another computer program.
There was a new remake of this sci-fi typical that was very well received, over starring Jeff Bridges and a digitally altered, much younger edition of him.
However, the original movie was affronted by the Oscars in 1982 (for a special effects award) because the college thought they 'cheated' by using digital effects.

Wikipedia needs an army of anti-vandal bots
Wikipedia's assignment is to make knowledge freely available to anybody with contact to the Internet. Though, anybody with the Internet can also register and edit pages – which results in what they call vandalism.
There is a very robust moderation system but there's simply so much that an individual can do, in terms of dynamically monitoring changes and correcting changes that vandal create.
That's where the boats — mostly computer programs — come in. The bots remain a path of all change complete to any page and directly lapse back to the 'correct' version if a vandal decides to change things. About 1,941 boats are authorized for use on the 38,818,162 Wikipedia pages at last count.
