The value of a hybrid computer is readily seen where there is a need to manage equations in a real-time fashion. Whereas a strictly analog device would provide quick returns that were not entirely precise, and a digital device would provide more precise responses that would take longer to calculate, the hybrid approach makes it possible to obtain answers now rather than later. At the same time, those answers are more detailed and thus more useful than the fast answers provided by the analog equipment.

Hybrid computers are computers that are designed to provide functions and features that are found with both analog computers and digital computers. The idea behind this combined or hybrid computer model is to create a working unit that offers the best of both types of computers. With most designs, the analog components of the equipment provide efficient processing of differential equations, while the digital aspects of the computer address the logical operations associated with the system.

hello friends, I guess for me I don’t have a horse in this race. What I do professionally (print design and layout and illustration) can’t be done in a portable setting (in my opinion). Laptops have always been overpowered for what I would need a mobile device for, which is basically everything my iPad does now. Besides, why would I want to do page layout sitting in a doctor’s waiting room, but I would like to use the web or watch a movie, which the iPad is perfect for. I really think most of the griping online about the iPad not being a laptop replacement is from writers whose primary computer is a laptop. For designers I think the argument is pointless because an iPad designed to do design work would hardly be portable, or if it was portable, hardly an efficient design tool. Sometimes one size fits all doesn’t fit. thanks San Mateo Debt Settlement |
