HISTORY OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY The term "information technology" evolved in the 1970s. Its basic concept‚ however‚ can be traced to the World War II alliance of the military and industry in the development of electronics‚ computers‚ and information theory. After the 1940s‚ the military remained the major source of research and development funding for the expansion of automation to replace manpower with machine power. Since the 1950s‚ four generations of computers have evolved. Each generation

Computer Hardware came about when machines needed separate manual actions to be able to perform specific mathematical functions. Luckily in 1941‚ a man by the name of Konrad Zuse invented what was considered the first working‚ fully operable computer. Prior to this‚ most of the calculations were done manually to calculate by people with adding machines. Today these adding machines are better known as calculators. Back then‚ all you had to do is push buttons‚ but in today’s modern software technology

How does computer software and hardware work together? This is kind of a complex question. I think the most important thing connecting software and hardware would probably be the register. Commands or services requested by the software are encoded into binary values of 0’s and 1’s and are written into a register. For example‚ some register may hold a value of "01101100". This encoding has a total of 8 bits. Each value of either 0 or 1 is called a bit‚ and 8 bits are called a byte. At the hardware

Hardware Components of a Computer In the realm of modern business‚ computers are essential to success. In this paper‚ I will describe the different hardware (or physical) components of a computer. According to our text “These components include input devices‚ output devices‚ communications devices‚ primary and secondary storage devices‚ and the central processing unit (CPU).” (Stair‚ Reynolds‚ 2003). An input device is any device that transfers information from the outside world to the computer

Grace Loraine M. Borres BSCOE II-3 Assignment No. 1 An internal bus serves as the communication highway of the motherboard. It links the different parts of the computer to the CPU and the main memory. Its primary task is to send data and instructions to the different parts within the motherboard‚ including the external bus. The external type of motherboard bus‚ which is also known as the expansion bus‚ serves as the interface for peripheral devices like hard disks‚ CD-ROM drives‚ and flash

[pic] A computer is a combination of hardware and software. All computers--from the simple calculator to the complex supercomputer--use a combination of hardware and software. Depending on the functionality of the computer‚ your hardware and software will vary. Just as there are many types of hardware‚ there are many types of software available. Hardware Simplified Basically‚ hardware is the physical component that can be touched‚ be it a digital watch‚ calculator‚ cellular phone‚ laptop
