eReflect’s Ultimate Typing Highlights Actions from Chinese Government Regarding Internet Addiction In New Blog Post
eReflect’s Ultimate Typing Highlights Actions from Chinese Government Regarding Internet Addiction In New Blog Post
New York City, NY (PRWEB) February 04, 2015
A new short documentary has been promoted on the Ultimate Typing™ blog, focusing on teenage internet addiction and the Chinese government’s controversial approach to it. The documentary, titled “China’s Web Junkies,” was produced and directed by Shosh Shlam and Hilla Medalia. It gives an inside peek into how internet addicts are dealt with by the Chinese government. Back in 2008, internet addiction was classified as a clinical disorder in China, which also considered the phenomenon a primary threat to the health of millions of teenagers in the country, something the documentary highlights.
The teenagers that end up in the treatment facilities receive a mix of military and therapy drills to help them overcome their internet addiction. These teenagers receive this controversial treatment for up to four months, in hopes of overcoming their addiction, at which point they are reintroduced to society. Although eReflect recognizes that internet addiction does have an impact on the lives of millions of people around the world, the company points out that using a bootcamp-like treatment which involves extreme therapy methods is questionable, to say the least.
Internet addiction is a new and largely unstudied social phenomenon that only escalated in the last decade or so, with the proliferation of online gaming. Internet addiction is defined differently by different organizations and states, and there’s no one single viewpoint on its status, the preferred treatment, or even the desired outcome. That’s why governments and clinicians need a more systematic approach to this modern-day phenomenon, eReflect notes. As the designer of one of the best typing program products on the market, the company is of course supportive of responsible internet and computer use.
Several typing software reviews of eReflect’s program highlight that internet and computer use is such an integral part of daily life that people need above-average typing skills to be efficient at their jobs. eReflect’s learn to type software helps people improve their typing efficiency and accuracy. In fact, young people who have good keyboarding skills should be encouraged to use this ability to apply for better jobs, improve other skills, learn new languages, and in general work towards self-improvement using technology, rather than passively spending their time in online recreation. Although gaming and general internet use is one form of entertainment, it should be one that’s closely monitored by individuals to avoid the extremes leading to addiction, eReflect concludes.

How To Have Fun On The Computer Without Internet
Article by Roberto Sedycias
Many people love computer games and today there are so many Internet dependent games, like virtual world and role playing games that entice people and make them thrilled with the interactive nature of these games. However, there are games on your computer that you can play without the need of any Internet. They are all solitary games, of course, unless you want to play against your computer, but they are living testaments to the fact that a computer does not need to rely on Internet for you to have some fun.
You can play games like Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, Minesweeper, and other card games that are each fun in their own way. At least, they are a way to spend time and have some fun if you are in a place where you have a computer but no Internet. Many times, if there is no Internet, people just put the computer down in desperation because a computer seems to lack any purpose if you cannot surf the web or download music or do something interactive.
But, there was a time, once, long ago, when Internet was not there and people still had some fun with computers. For example, if you removed the Internet from your device, you might see that there are other things you would be motivated to do. With things like Microsoft Word Processor, you might be able to unleash your poetic side and write poetry and fiction stories. You can use things like the document choice list to create birthday cards, flyers, hand outs, pamphlets, and well decorate invitations. These things require a creative mind and can be an enjoyable task if you let yourself fly with it and have fun.
Also, the devices like PowerPoint and other things allow you to make creative slideshows. Certainly all of this sounds more like work and a chore than any kind of entertainment but if you use these tools to do something fun, you might find that you actually can have an artistic experience on your computer that makes you highly productive in a way that browsing the Internet browsers could not have made you be.
You can even create movies on the computer without any kind of Internet. For example, with programs like Windows’ Movie Maker and Windows’ Photo Story, you can create amazing videos and movies by using things around your use. Using a webcam, scanner, or camera, you can take photos of various things, whether it be baby pictures leading up to your adulthood, and you can load them onto Photo Story and add audio tracks and visual effects and create a moving and touching slideshow of your life.
Or, with Windows Movie Maker, you can put photo stills together, add audio, and then the program will turn it into an animated movie. You can add your own captions and be the author of a great short film or something using photo stills of a subject that captures your interest. Make movies the old fashioned way and do it without any Internet, turning your computer into a personal film studio where great flicks are made.

Pico Computing Scores Technology Triple Play with Micron Hybrid Memory Cube, Next-generation Xilinx FPGAs, and OpenCL
Pico Computing Scores Technology Triple Play with Micron Hybrid Memory Cube, Next-generation Xilinx FPGAs, and OpenCL
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 17, 2014
Pico Computing , the technology leader in FPGA-based acceleration, today announced the first-time convergence of three groundbreaking technologies to bring unprecedented system performance and bandwidth to a compact supercomputing workstation, complete with the ability to implement designs on the platform using OpenCL™, a C-like programming language.
Pico Computing’s Trifecta™ is a high-performance, low-power turnkey workstation solution that even software developers without knowledge of hardware description languages can use to dramatically speed up their applications. Not only does Trifecta accelerate applications spanning packet inspection to bioinformatics to image and video processing, it also accelerates the technology adoption curve by providing a complete system solution that encompasses and advances game-changing technologies including Micron’s Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC), Xilinx’s 20 nm UltraScale™ family of all programmable devices, and the open standard hardware programming language, OpenCL. Further enabled by Pico Computing’s HMC Controller IP and FPGA programming and management framework, the entire solution fits on a single PCI Express card housed within an air-cooled, small-footprint desktop computer.
Highlights of the technologies integrated within Pico Computing’s Trifecta platform include the following:
Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC)
The HMC provides tremendous benefits to memory-bound applications—particularly those that require high bandwidth and fast random access. HMC devices operate up to 15 times faster than DDR3 and consume up to 70% less energy, while delivering exceptionally high bi-directional bandwidth.
HMC Controller IP
Pico Computing’s HMC Controller IP has been specially tuned to operate with Xilinx UltraScale devices to deliver the industry’s first and only 15G HMC solution. The solution implements the full HMC specification, but is also highly parameterized to yield truly optimized system configurations to meet exacting design objectives. The number of HMC links addressed, the number and width of internal ports, clock speeds, power, performance, area, and other details can be “dialed in” to yield precisely the performance required. “Through our partnership with Pico Computing, we are pleased to enable a solution for application developers that offers the highest memory throughput in an FPGA design achievable only with UltraScale devices,” said Tamara Schmitz, director of technical marketing for power and memory at Xilinx.
Pico Computing Framework
Implementation of the HMC controller and programming of the FPGAs is made easy by virtue of Pico Computing’s framework—a Linux-based run-time environment that provides the essential link between the application running on a host computer and the hardware algorithm, or firmware, implemented in the FPGA(s), and automates the FPGA programming overhead.
Xilinx UltraScale FPGAs
Xilinx UltraScale devices support the full HMC bandwidth and offer up to 120 transceivers, ideal for bandwidth-intensive HMC applications. The Trifecta platform leverages the industry’s only shipping 20nm FPGAs, along with a validated HMC IP core, to bring 15Gb/s HMC designs to market now.
OpenCL
In contrast to traditional FPGA design flows, OpenCL enables significantly faster time to market by facilitating a higher level of design abstraction that also realizes end designs with enhanced performance and greater power efficiency. Software developers can now easily create highly parallelized, computationally-intensive applications on the Trifecta platform to yield truly optimized systems, versus the limited performance provided by generic, general purpose hardware. By transferring the program execution to dedicated programmable hardware—and leveraging the HMC to break through the memory wall—applications running on the Trifecta platform can realize dramatically improved performance.
The combination of breakthrough memory technology, next-generation programmable logic, and a standard parallel programing language will not only accelerate developer adoption, but transform application acceleration across a wide range of application domains.
The Trifecta platform will be available in beta version in first quarter, 2015.
