Input devices There are many input formats which enable us to gather up and collect information‚ and enter data and instructions into the computer. Input devices can be manual or automatic. Manual input devices include: Keyboard - including concept keyboard. This is a flat board that contains a grid of buttons. Each button can be programmed to follow instructions. An overlay sheet is placed on the grid with an explanation for each button. They are used in primary schools with young children

The purpose of this paper is to answer questions about various data input and output methods‚ various storage types and devices‚ and the speed of a computer. Each of the four questions is divided into a corresponding section below. In the input device section‚ this paper focuses primarily on user input‚ rather than the input devices used to extract information entered by a user. In all of the presented cases‚ electronic scanning methods are the best method‚ and the method routinely used‚ to extract

EVOUTION OF COMPUTERS The evolution of electronic computers over a period of time can be traced effectively dividing this period into various generations. Each generation is characterized by a major technological development that fundamentally changed the way computers operated. These helped to develop smaller‚ cheaper‚ powerful‚ efficient and reliable devices. Today‚ life has become indispensable without a computer. You find computerization in almost every sphere and industry. Computer evolution has been

Explain the evolution of computer describing the technologies used in different generations. The evolution of computers started way back in the late 1930s. Binary arithmetic is at the core of the computers of all times. History of computers dates back to the invention of a mechanical adding machine in 1642. Abacus‚ an early computing tool‚ invention of logarithm by John Napier and the invention of slide rules by William Oughtred were significant events in the evolution of computers.

Computers – An Introduction A computer is defined as an electronic device that accepts input‚ processes it as per the given instructions and produces meaningful output. The term computer is used to describe a device which is combination of electronic and electromechanical devices. It is derived from the word “Compute” which means Calculation. “Charles Babbage” is known as the father of the computer. Data and Information Data refers to raw facts that are gathered and fed to the computer. A computer

The history/evolution of computing predates silicon microchips and CPUs by hundreds of years. The modern computers we are all familiar with can trace their roots back to simple computational machines that seem far removed from what we think of as a computer today. Simple Computers • By definition‚ a computer is any device capable of performing mathematical equations or calculations. Therefore‚ many simple devices such as an abacus (which dates back to at least 300 BCE) or a slide rule (first
