TWAIN is nothing but an industry standard. This name refers to a kind of technology. All Graphical devices like Scanner, Digital Camera, Web Camera uses this technology for communicating with computers.

If a new graphical device is not defined according to TWAIN then it cannot be accessible in computers. In that case it need a special software for data communication.

In such cases, the manufacturer has to provide CD for installing software and the specific drivers for proper interaction between computers and device (Driver Software acts as bridge between device and computers).

After installation of the software in computer, the images and videos can be transferred. For example using Microsoft Word, the TWAIN technology can be implemented and communication can be done with computers from digital camera.

Likewise softwares like Word Perfect, Adobe Photoshop, Omni PagePro can implement this technology.

Many of us dont know where this TWAIN name is derived from. Some have defined it with an interesting name "Technology Without An Interesting Name (TWAIN)"..

Clash (Mobile And Computers)

There is always clash between Computers and Mobiles. Whenever a phone call (or) even message(SMS or MMS) is received by cell phone which is near the computer, then waves are generated and the user can directly see that computer shivers (or) shows abnormal signs in monitor.

Reason is explained as follows :

Both Monitor and Mobiles are electronic wave emitting devices.

Thus when call (or) message is being received by mobile phone, then it generates radio waves.

These waves clashes with monitor and thus monitor screen gets shaked for while. If the mobile phone is kept at the distance from computer, then this problem wont occur.

If monitor is near the CVT transformers then also we can see the effect in monitors as the CVT transformers are also radio wave emitting devices.

Thus clash can be avoided by separating the two devices at some distance..
