Using the software that came with your webcam, usually found on the CD packaged with your laptop, you can also alter how your camera detects light and sound. Getting Windows to detect your webcam involves checking your Devices from the Control Panel, but you can be up and running conference calls within minutes.
Forty-seven-year old comedian and actor John Thomson met fellow comic Steve Coogan while studying drama at Manchester Polytechnic and he secured him a job on the satirical puppet show Spitting Image.
Jul 24, 2014. J.J. Thomson used a cathode ray tube to discover the electron. Cathode ray tubes are vacuum tubes that contain two electrodes - one on each side. One of the electrodes (the cathode) fires electrons at the other (the anode) when voltage is added to the system. When Thomson fired up the tube, he saw a beam of light between the two electrodes. To figure out what they were, he applied a magnetic field and found out that the beam moved toward a positive charge and away from a negative charge.
