Introduction A computer can be defined as any electronic device that can accept data inform o f input‚ processes the data and gives out the processed data inform of output. It can also be defined as any electronic device which‚ under the control of a stored program‚ can accept data in a prescribed form‚ processes the data and supply the results as information in a specified form. There are three points to note in the second definition. 1. Computer is an electronic device: It is made up of electronic

The Integrated Circuit: The Evolution of an Electronic Miracle The microprocessor evolved over the course of many years of research‚ and people all over the world enjoy the benefits of this electronic miracle. It is difficult to think of anything that has affected modern life more than this invention. Cellular phones‚ wristwatches‚ calculators‚ automobiles‚ stereos‚ televisions‚ and computers are just a few of the thousands of electronic devices that have a microchip at the heart of its operation

simultaneously. This marks the first time a computer is able to store information on its main memory. 1943-1944: Two University of Pennsylvania professors—John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert—build the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator (ENIAC). Considered the grandfather of digital computers‚ it fills a 20 foot by 40 foot room and has 18‚000 vacuum tubes. 1946: Mauchly and Presper leave the University of Pennsylvania and receive funding from the Census Bureau to build the UNIVAC‚ the first

Computer programming (often shortened to programming) is a process that leads from an original formulation of a computing problem to executable programs. It involves activities such as analysis‚ understanding‚ thinking‚ and generically solving such problems resulting in an algorithm‚ verification of requirements of the algorithm including its correctness and its resource consumption‚ implementation (commonly referred to as coding[1][2]) of the algorithm in a target programming language. Source code is

PERSONAL COMPUTER “Microcomputer” is a term used to refer to computers that contain a microprocessor. This type of computer is known by its familiar name- the PC. This is the type of computer that someone is mostly to use. As the name suggest‚ a microprocessor is a very small processor. This is in the form of a silicon chip like a Pentium Processor. Since they use smaller processors‚ microprocessors are smaller than the other form of computers‚ yet they are the most important of all. They

Fourth generation ( 1971 – Present ) 5. Fifth Generation ( present and Beyond ) FIRST GENERATION ( 1940 – 1956 ) World War gave rise to numerous developments and started off the computer age. Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) was produced by a partnership between University of Pennsylvannia and the US government. It consisted of 18‚000 vacuum tubes and 7000 resistors. It was developed by John Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly and was a general purpose computer. "Von Neumann

HISTORY OF INTEL PROCESSORS Today‚ computers are a part of our lifestyle‚ but the first computer that was used was developed at the University of Pennsylvania in the year 1946! It had an ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer) processor. The reprogramming feature that is so extensively used today‚ was introduced by Alan Turing and John von Neumann with their teams. The von Neumann architecture is the basis of modern computers. From the development of the first microprocessor - Intel’s
