INDIA WAS ONCE AN ISLAND

INDIA WAS ONCE AN ISLAND
India was once a continent. More than 100 million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth,
most of what is now India was an island.
It had broken off from an ancient supercontinent referred to as Gondwanaland by paleogeographers
(named after Gondwana, a forested area of central India), and was moving slowly northwards.
About 50 million years ago, dinosaurs by now extinct, the India continental plate collided with
Asia, buckling the coastal area of both continents and creating the Himalayas - the world's
youngest major mountain range - and, of course, the highest.
Evidence of this ancient history is provided by fossilised sea shells that can still be found
high in the mountains. The plate on which the subcontinent rests continues to press slowly
northwards, and is the reason why the height of Mount Everest increases slightly every year.

Who invented the internet?

As you might expect for a technology so expansive and everchanging, it is impossible to credit the invention of the Internet to a single person.Long before the technology existed to actually build the Internet, many scientists had already anticipated the existence of worldwide networks of information. Nikola Tesla toyed with the idea of a “world wireless system” in the early 1900s, and visionary thinkers like Paul Otlet and Vannevar Bush conceived of mechanized, searchable storage systems of books andmedia in the 1930s and 1940s. Still, the first practical schematics for the Internet would notarrive until the early 1960s, when MIT’s J.C.R. Licklider popularized the idea of an“Intergalactic Network” of compute...

let's learn java today..

java(it’s hot!!) as you know in the market java is very popular.why java is hot now a days..??i’ll explain but before that will review the history of java so that we can understand the importance of this “hot cake”. history of java: java came in to picture in 1990s when c++ was very popular all over the world.the only disadvantage with c++ is c++ is platform dependent.so to solve this problem java came into picture.so what is platform independent and what is platform dependent. platform dependent and platform independent?? during the execution of any program the “cpu” or “micro processor ” will expect that the language compilation and the election platform must be same.so these kind of programing language is called platform dependent language. ex: if program is written in windows platform that object file must be executed only in windows platform.ex:c,c++ so what is platform independence ..yeah exactly opposite to this.during the execution of the program microprocess...
