GENERATION OF COMPUTERS The term generation indicates the type of technology used in the computer construction. As new technology was emerging‚ it was being used in the making of computer. The new technology improved the speed‚ accuracy and storage capacity of the computers. Different technologies have been used for computers in different times. Therefore‚ computers can be divided into five generations depending upon the technologies used. These are: First Generation (1940 - 1956) Second

in the development of any other field‚ some ideas and inventions have worked and been expanded upon‚ such as the fixed-position foot‚ while others have fallen by the wayside or become obsolete‚ such as the use of iron in prosthesis. Consider the artificial hands and legs of the Dark Ages -- nearly 2‚000 years later. Armored knights of this era often relied on iron prosthetic limbs‚ usually crafted by the same metalworker who made their armor. These bulky limbs were admittedly not very functional and

Dave Bowman in a famous scene toward the end of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001:A Space Odyssey. Dave Bowman‚ having nearly been sent to a deep-space death by the malfunctioning machine‚ is calmly‚ coldly disconnecting the memory circuits that control its artificial brain. “Dave‚ my brain is going‚” HAL says forlornly. “I can feel it. I can feel it.” I can feel it‚ too. Over the past few years‚ I’ve had the uncomfortable sense that someone‚ or something‚ has been tinkering with my brain‚ remapping the neural

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation or better known as CPR is the revival or return to function of the heart and lungs. This is done by Cardiac massage‚ artificial respiration‚ and drugs to maintain the circulation of oxygenated blood to the brain. In 1950’s a surgeon opened the chest of a patient that suffered a heart attack and subsequent and cardiac arrest. After opening the papatientschest he performed a heart massage‚ which was a successful maneuver. This was turned out to be the basis for the

A character named Bowman‚ whom has been sent to a deep-space death by the malfunctioning machine‚ is calmly‚ coldly disconnecting the memory circuits that control its artificial “brain.” The super computer Hal pleads‚ “Dave my mind is going.” “I can feel it‚ I can feel it.” (pg. 226) Mr. Carr supports this thesis by giving his experience online and quotes by others‚ relating to how people rely on the web.

advancements in prosthetic technologies). Pioneers of the Egyptian desert plain The first recorded account of prosthetic limbs is from the ancient days of Egypt. In the year 2000‚ researchers in Cairo had excavated a 3‚000 year old mummy with an artificial toe. Contrary to popular belief‚ many thought the Egyptians had created prosthetics for a sense of wholeness rather than much of a functional purpose. Yes they were spiritual people whose concerns revolved around their gods‚ but also they were incredibly

Author‚ Steven Pinker does not believe so; he argues that technology is “the only thing that will keep us smart.” It is not the internet fault for human’s stupidity. However‚ author Nicolas Carr asserts that “our intelligence will flatten into artificial intelligence” (44) ultimately disagreeing with Pinker’s statement.
