Google faster, better, bigger……..

Google penetration in the internet application space is tremendous. Just other day when I was walking down near a café, I got stopped by this old gentleman who could barely walk; he was looking for some street directions. He asked me direction toward mayroll drive, I myself not so sure, politely told him “I’m not so sure sir”. His next statement really amazed me, he said “I should I have printed the Google maps, it would have been helpful”. I was surprised, the reason being the man must be at least 80 years old and his understanding of Google and its technologies was something challening for me to comprehend. I asked him if he is a technology person, he said “NO”. The gentleman said he hardly knew anything about computers. He mentioned he was born in the days where a calculator and landline phone were called mysterious devices. He said “I just see my granddaughter using these things and she shows him how they work. Another bombshell he pulled out a navigator from his pocket and launched his favorite Google maps applications and told me how it helps him to get back home every day.

I am wondering Google penetration in people lives on day to day basis and how it is positively changing the world we live in. Google popularity in the internet world really amazes me. Google is not only for some twenty first century technology geeks but it is also a familiar name among people of all ages or should I say centuries, who believed that calculator was a mysterious device. With its ever-increasing share in the internet application space Google has been able to make life easy for people of all demographics. Applications like Picasa, Google maps, Google gadgets are blessings not only for tech savvy people but also for common citizens who just know the name “Google”. One thing seems to be sure & clearer, with its ever increasing popularity Google is here to stay and will be faster, better and bigger……..

Yes, that’s the question somebody asks me other day. Well in my opinion it has never been a good time for print media to maximize their profit. Newspapers over the world have shown decrease in terms of advertisement revenue from past few years. However just blaming internet won’t help those news daily’s, they need to evolve from the primitive methods and look at alternative method of making content available to users. To be successful and make your content read and available to users, print media needs to move to alternative methods like news on mobile, RSS, dynamic websites, kiosk etc.

Is Internet a is a threat to print media? Is internet an enemy of friend? Let us know your thoughts….

Explain about roll area , Dispatcher, ABAP-Processor.

Roll area is nothing but memory allocated by work process. It holds the information needed by R/3 about programs execution such as value of the variables.

Dispatcher :All the requests that come from presentation server will be directed first to dispatcher. Further dispatcher sends this requests to work process on FIFO(First In and First Out) basis. Dispatcher recieves the request from client and assigns the request to one of the work process.

Roll area: Each workprocess works in a particular memory that memory is known as Role Area, which consists of User context and session data. ABAP- Processor :is an interpretor which can execute logic

About internal tables

An internal table is a run time instance. It get created when program starts execution. It get destroyed when program terminates. It has two different parts: HeaderLine(optional) and Body(Compulsory). Any value that comes to or goes from interanal table, that travels through headerline.
