The PC boards are becoming complex day-by-day with the technology, but despite how severely they are damaged, they can be repaired and brought to use. Many PC Boards are high valued and they should be reworked upon. Even though less expensive assemblies require repair because just-in-time manufacturing and tightly controlled production runs leave little room for shortage. Old PC boards were much simpler and repairs were relatively easy, but the new PC boards have fine pitch components, ball grid arrays and fine line circuits making them a challenge to repair. Because of its huge demands, PC board repair are compared to a surgery.
We still view computers primarily as machines that run programs in a virtual environment that we enter to perform a task and leave when we finish. Pervasive computing presumes an altogether different vision. A device can be a portal into an application-data space, not a repository of custom software that a user must manage. An application is a means by which a user performs a task, not software written to exploit a device’s capabilities. And a computing environment is an information-enhanced physical space, not a virtual environment that exists to store and run software. The technological advances necessary to build a pervasive computing environment fall into four broad areas: devices, networking, middleware, and applications.
