The Project

The innovation which has transformed my professional life in recent years is the computer . At the Abu Dhabi Men’s College we have many things to do for the course like computer , camera and phone . The HCT brings for each student a computer because now the computer is very important for the student . We use the computer in the college for the exams or homework and practice . Also we can use it to print and the most important point is to connect with students and the teachers . Now most colleges and universities around the world use computers because it becomes easier now than before and most people now realize that the computer is very important . In the summer I travelled to Asia countries and they couldn’t understand my language and they didn’t know English so I showed them pictures in my computer and they understood what I wanted .

The computer history is very old . The first use of the word "computer" was recorded in 1613, referring to a person who carried out calculations, or computations, and the word continued to be used in that sense until the middle of the 20th century. The first electronic computers were developed in the mid-20th century ( 1940–1945 ) ( http://en.wikipedia.org ) , it was very big shape and it was a very hard to see it in every house . In every year the computer was changing the shape and the size and the programs ( http://www.technologyreview.com/ ) . From one year to another the people began to buy the computers and used them in the home . After some years , there was new software like printer , scanner , CD and DVD writer so when the computer became more effective and had new software the computer became very popular in every house .

Today the computer is all over the world . Now there are more than 1 billion and a half persons using the computer everyday ( http://www.computerhope.com ) . It helps the people to chat with their friends, family and to solve their home homework , searching in the internet and using the dictionary . Some people like to sit and read the news in the internet . Also some people use the computer for the media to edit the image or the video . Now , each company must have more than 1 computer because it contains all the information for the company .

These days there are many people who like to have a sports car because it is small and it is fast like Porsche , Bugatti , Ferrari and Nissan z350 . Of course there are many differences between the cars in the design or in the size and the power of each car . In this essay I will write about the differences and the similarities between the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 Turbo .

There are a few similarities between the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 Turbo . First similarity is that both of them are sport cars . Secondly , both of them can reach 195 mph . The last and the third similarity is that both of them are popular cars which the famous people buy .

Although there are similarities there are many differences . The first difference is that the Bugatti weight is 5000 lbs ( http://en.wikipedia.org/ ). On the other hand the Porsche weight is 3650 – 3750 lb . Secondly , the Bugatti can reach from 0 – 60 in 2.5 seconds but the Porsche can reach it in 3.6 seconds . The third difference , the Bugatti horse power is 1001 HP and in the Porsche 911 Turbo it is 480 HP ( http://Porsche.com) . The last difference is that the torque of the Bugatti is 952 pound feet ( http://Bugatti.com ) and the Porsche torque is 457 pound feet .

In conclusion , in my opinion the Bugatti is better than the Porsche 911 Turbo in the power and the top speed of Bugatti is better than the Porsche , but in the price the Porsche is lower than the Bugatti .
