Paglago ng ekonomiya ng Pilipinas, mas mabilis sa China sa unang bahagi ng 2016

Published May 20, 2016 12:48am

Nakapagtala ng 6.9 percent na paglago ang Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ng Pilipinas sa unang tatlong buwan o first quarter ng 2016, ayon sa National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).

Sa ulat ng GMA News 24 Oras nitong Huwebes, sinabing ang naturang paglago ay mas mataas mula sa naitalang five percent noong 2015.

Idinagdag ng NEDA, na ang naitalang paglago sa unang bahagi ng 2016 ay pinakamataas na antas ng paglago mula sa second quarter ng 2013.

Ito rin daw ang pinakamabilis na paglago sa mga ekonomiya sa Asya na mas mabilis sa 6. 7 percent ng China at 5.5 percent ng Vietnam.

Ang GDP ay ang kabuuang halaga ng produkto at serbisyong nagawa sa bansa na ginagamit na sukatan sa paglago ng ekonomiya.

Pinakamaganda umano ang ipinakitang performance ng services at industry sector pero bumaba ang sektor ng agrikultura dahil sa epekto ng El Niño.

Tiwala ang NEDA na magpapatuloy ang paglago ng ekonomiya na nagawa ng administrasyong Aquino sa pagpasok ng liderato ng susunod na pangulo na si Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.

Sa isang panayam, ipinagtanggol ni Duterte ang kaniyang "economic agenda" na pinupuna ng ilan na katulad lang daw ng programa ni Aquino at kapos sa ipinangako niyang sosyalismo noong panahon ng kampanya.

"What do you want? The color of communism?," tanong ni Duterte sa panayam ni GMA News anchor Jessica Soho.

"Ito ang problema ng hindi nakakaalam of the grasp of how it is. This is my agenda, and the Congress right now, or some of them said, that they would support my economic agenda,' dagdag niya. -- FRJ, GMA News

Evolution of the Motherboard

The Motherboard is a printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer or other device, with connectors into which other circuit boards can be slotted. 

History

Before the microprocessor was invented, a computer was comprised of various printed circuit boards with components that were connected by a backplane, or a group of interconnected sockets. Components such as the computer memory, Central Processing Unit (CPU) and peripherals were housed on separate printed circuit boards.

In the late '80s and '90s, it was more cost-efffective for them to move peripherals and other essential components to a motherboard. In the late 80s, motherboards were personal computers that came with single ICs. also known as Super I/O chips, which allowed the computer to support peripherals that operated to low speeds such as a floppy disk drive, keyboard or mouse. 

in the late 90s, computers came with integrated storage, video, audio and networking capabilities that removed the need for expansion cards. However, this only removed the need of cards for basic computing. Higher-end servers, business and gaming systems still required a separate component. 

In the late 90s, notebook and laptop computers were integrated with common peripherals as smaller systems such as the netbook and tablet computer were introduced. An increasing amount of motherboards were made with components that cannot be upgraded.

 

Today, modern motherboards include:

• Sockets, or slots, in which multiple microprocessors may be put into a system
• Slots in which the main memory can be installed
• A chipset that creates an interface between a CPU's main memory, peripheral bus and front-side bus
• Non-volatile memory chips that contain a system's BIOS and firmware
• A clock generator that creates the clock signal that the system uses to synchronize its various components
• Expansion card slots
• Power connectors that receive electricity from the computer's power supply and distribute it to the expansion cards, chipset, main memory and the CPU. Some high-end graphics need more power than a motherboard can emit, so connectors that are dedicated are used to attach directly to the computer's power supply
