A. VOLATILE MEMORY Volatile memory‚ also known as volatile storage‚ is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information‚ unlike non-volatile memory which does not require a maintained power supply. It has been less popularly known as term Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a type of random access memory that stores each bit of data in a separate capacitor within an integrated circuit. Since real capacitors leak charge‚ the information eventually fades unless the capacitor

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

1 Computer Games Computer games are programs that enable a player to interact with a virtual game environment for entertainment and fun. There are many types of computer games available‚ ranging from traditional card games to more advanced video games such as role playing games and adventure games. In this chapter‚ we first discuss the different types of computer games. The architecture of computer games is also described. Finally‚ the programming environment that is used to build the computer

storage device of a computer where all data is saved. Hard drives are non-volatile which allows the data to be saved even when the computer is shut down. “Although most hard drives are internal hard drives‚ many users also use external hard drives to backup data on their computer and expand the total amount of space available to them”( "What Is Hard Drive?" Computer Hope. Web. 14 Sept. 2014.) The first Hard Drive was released by IBM in 1956. Random Access Memory (RAM): Another form of computer storage

Build a Computer Computers are one of those technologies that‚ as the years pass‚ get more complicated yet simpler at the same time. The truth is‚ a person need not know anything at all of transistors‚ capacitor or the whole bunch to "build" a computer. All you really need to know are two important things. One is to always keep yourself (electrostatically) grounded‚ and secondly‚ you need to know how to put a jigsaw puzzle together. Now one would ask what a jigsaw puzzle has to do with computers‚ and

Ever since the development of the ENIGMA (the first digital computer)‚ computers have inspired our imagination. In this period came the World War II code breaking machine designed by Alan Turing‚ and Von Neuman’s ENIAC which can be called dinosaurs compared to present day PCs. In the earlier days‚ computers were so huge that it took an entire building‚ or at least a floor to occupy one. Computers of that era were very slow by today’s standards. In the non-ending struggle to increase

Computer Memory Memory: Your memory does not store everything forever. The computer memory refers to computer components‚ devices and recording media that retain digital information. The computer data storage provides one of the core functions of a computer that of information retention. How a Computer Remembers: A computer has two memories‚ called RAM and ROM. ROM stands for Read Only Memory. It carries the information. The computer needs to carry out‚ it’s task‚ and it cannot be altered

Electronics for Education Imagine if electronic devices replaced books and papers. Imagine being able to have all of your school supplies at the tips of your fingers. Life would be so much easier for students‚ and even the teachers. Technological devices should replace traditional books and papers because it provides more resources‚ keeps everything organized‚ and make the students backpacks lighter. Electrical devices are better because they provide more resources. It gives more resources
