Give answer in 1 sentence/word. * Explain/ Describe/ Justify :
Give answer more than 2 sentences. * Section B: Answer can in point form.

1.0 INFORMATION AND COMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY
Define ICT. * The technology required for information processing. * The use of electronic computers, communication devices and software applications to convert, store, protect, process, transmit and retrieve information from anywhere, anytime.

Describe the brief evolution of computers. * First Generation (1940-1956) ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) build by Presper Eckert and Willian Mauchly that use vacuum tube instead of MARK 1 that use mechanical switches. * Second Generation (1956-1963) Transistor was created and used to transfer electronic signals across a resister. Famous computer scientists: John Bardeen, Walter Houser, William Shockley. * Third Generation (1964-1971) IBM 370 series was introduced in 1964. Other computer models introduced were CDC 7600 and B2500. Integrated circuit(IC) had been developing which reduced the size and cost of computers. * Fourth Generation (1971-Present) in 1971, Intel created the first microprocessor. In 1971, Steve Jobs built the first apple computer. In 1981, IBM introduced the first personal computer. Hardware technology such as silicone chips, microprocessor and storage devices were invented.

* Fifth Generation (Present and Beyond) technologically advance and are still being development to become more efficient. Examples of new hardware technology: Robotics, virtual reality, intelligent systems, program which translate languages. * New Era Computer is when the technology of computer has become more advanced, modern and sophisticated. Examples of the latest invention: Super Computers, Mainframe Computers, Mini Computers, Personal Computers, Mobile Computers.

    Computers have become one of our necessities in our daily life which makes it so hard to imagine a time when they did not really exist. And the birth of first computer occurred in 1950. It was the Electrical Numerical Integrator and Calculator or ENIAC. It was made out of 18,000 vacuum tubes which made it to consume about 180,000 watts of electrical power. However, it was only capable to give function such as multiplying numbers rapidly. Due to rapid growth in population, Census Bureau of United States decided to have a machine to tabulate the data, hence,…

    Though the first commercial computer (UNIVAC) was released in 1951 the credit of mass marketization of computers should be given to Apple-I computer in 1976. Though it was released targeting common man, majority of the Apple users used it for commercial and educational purpose. Due to inconsistence performance and hardware issues this was not a huge success. Four years later IBM with MS Dos revolutionized the concept of personal computer. Due to its consistence performance, user friendly GUI and more importantly affordable price made IBM pc a huge hit in market.…

    Since the invention of the computer, the world needed a mechanism that had the power to compute and calculate large amounts of information and data. This is where the similarities end. According to Moore’s Law, the transistors in a microprocessor would double every two years, and with that computers and the need for processing information has grown rapidly. Of course during WWII there were no transistors; only vacuum tubes and microwaves.…

    Generation did not advance as much as most people hoped, but eventually, the "Third Generation" was brought about by the invention of integrated circuits in 1958. Integrated circuits replaced transistors, and many computer languages came out in this time. Many more computer companies were born during this time, and eventually this led to personal computers for everyday use. Microprocessors introduced the beginning of the "Fourth Generation" and a time where computers were in almost every house.…
