Introduction Cognitive computing and machine learning are two buzzwords that are frequently used interchangeably in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Yet, there are important differences between the two, and businesses and organisations looking to use AI to achieve a competitive edge must comprehend these differences. We shall thoroughly examine the distinctions between cognitive computing and machine learning in this article. Differences What is Cognitive Computing? The goal of cognitive computing, a branch of artificial intelligence, is to build machines that can reason, learn, and communicate with people in a natural way. Cognitive computing systems use advanced algorithms, natural language ... Read More

An electric conductor is defined as a material that allows the flow of electric current or electric charges across it. In this article, we will discuss the differences between two important types of electric conductors: semiconductors and superconductors. What is a Semiconductor? Semiconductors are defined as a category of electric conductors whose conductivity ranges between that of insulators and conductors. Semiconductors are formed by mixing or doping impurity atoms with pure semiconductor elements. This addition of impurities enhances the conducting capabilities of the semiconductor material. Based on the type of element being doped, semiconductors are categorized into the following two ... Read More

In communication systems, modulation is a process of changing the characteristics of a data carrier wave so that it can cover the desired distance for data transmission. Modulation is a necessary process in communication systems to increase the reliability of data communication. In the modulation process, an additional signal, called carrier signal, is generated that can go up to long distances, then the message signal is superimposed with this carrier signal, so that the carrier signal transmit the message signal over a long distance without getting affected by the external disturbances. This process is known as modulation. There are ... Read More

In digital systems, several types of storage devices are used to store data and information in digital form. DVD, stands for Digital Versatile Disk, is a type of optical storage device that uses laser technology to read/write data. Based on the nature, DVDs are classified into the following three main types − DVD ROM DVD-R DVD-RW Read this article to learn how the DVD-R format is different from DVD-RW. Let's start with some basics of DVD R and DVD RW. What is DVD-R? DVD-R stands for Digital Versatile Disk Recordable. DVD-R is a type of DVD which is ... Read More

DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disk. DVD is a type of optical storage device used to store digital information. DVD uses red laser to read and write on the disk. DVD is a cheap method of storing and transferring of data in computers. Based on the nature, DVDs come in several formats such as, DVD-ROM DVD-RAM DVD-R DVD+R DVD-RW DVD+RW In this article, we will talk about DVD-R and DVD+R, and the important differences between DVD-R and DVD+R. What is DVD-R? DVD-R stands for Digital Versatile Disk Recordable. DVD-R is pronounced as DVD Dash R. DVD-R is ... Read More

In computers and any other computing device, the processor is the most significant component of the system as it performs the most crucial task, i.e. processing. These days, we have several types of processors such as single core processor, dual core processor, quad processors, hexa core processor, octa core processor, etc. To understand the meaning of “core” in processor, consider the example of a highway with heavy traffic. If the highway have only one-way mode, then all the vehicles should pass one by one in a queue. Therefore, the taken to reach the destination by a vehicle will be more. ... Read More

Both desktop and tablet are the types of microcomputers as they have the CPU in the form of a microprocessor unit. This article is primarily meant for explaining the important differences between desktop and tablet. The most fundamental difference between desktop and tablet is that the desktop is a type of non-portable microcomputer designed to use regularly at one location, whereas a tablet is a type of portable microcomputer which is designed to carry from one place to another. Basically, a tablet is a smartphone equipped with most features of a microcomputer. Before going to discuss the differences between ... Read More

We use computers to perform numerous works in offices, home, industries, etc. Several types of computers have been developed for different purposes. The two most common types of computers are desktop and laptop. Both desktop and laptop are the types of microcomputers used in almost every office and home. The fundamental difference between desktop and laptop is that the desktop computer is a type of computer having its peripherals like mouse, keyboard, monitor, speakers, etc. connected together through wires and cables, therefore, desktop computers are non-portable computers. On the other hand, the laptop is a compact form of microcomputer in ... Read More

CD-ROM and Magnetic disks are the types of permanent (non-volatile) storage media used in computers and many other digital devices to store data and information in digital form. In this article, we will discuss the important differences between CD-ROM and magnetic disks. The most fundamental difference between CD-ROM and magnetic disks is that CD-ROM is a type of optical storage device, whereas magnetic disks, as the name implies, be the type of magnetic storage device. Before discussing the differences between CD-ROM and magnetic disks, let us first know a bit about them individually. What is a CD-ROM? CD-ROM stands for ... Read More
