history of computers and evolution Computers have been around a lot longer than many people might imagine. The word "computer" has changed meaning over decades‚ but the electronic computer that we think of in modern times developed throughout the second half of the 20th century. Its popularity as a household item surged in the 1980s following the arrival of operating systems by Apple and Microsoft that mixed graphics and text‚ replacing the text-only systems of the 1970s. By the 1990s‚ computers incorporated

Apple was established on April 1‚ 1976 by Steve Jobs‚ Steve Wozniak‚ and Ronald Wayne‚[10] to sell the Apple I personal computer kit. They were hand-built by Wozniak[11][12] and first shown to the public at the Homebrew Computer Club.[13] The Apple I was sold as a motherboard (with CPU‚ RAM‚ and basic textual-video chips)—less than what is today considered a complete personal computer.[14] The Apple I went on sale in July 1976 and was market-priced at $666.66.[15][16][17][18][19] Apple was incorporated

to perform operations on data.[1] Quantum computers are different from digital computers based on transistors. Whereas digital computers require data to be encoded into binary digits (bits)‚ each of which is always in one of two definite states (0 or 1)‚ quantum computation uses qubits (quantum bits)‚ which can be in superpositionsof states. A theoretical model is the quantum Turing machine‚ also known as the universal quantum computer. Quantum computers share theoretical similarities with non-deterministic

FAST VLSI BINARY ADDITION Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Minnesota‚ Minneapolis‚ MN 55455‚ USA E-mail: parhi@ee.umn.edu Keshab K. Parhi Abstract - This paper presents novel architectures for fast binary addition which can be implemented using multiplexers only. Binary addition is carried out using a fast redundant-to-binary converter. It is shown that appropriate encoding of the redundant digits and recasting the binary addition as a redundant-to-binary conversion

He to whom this emotion is a stranger‚ who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe‚ is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” ― Albert Einstein I remember my introduction to the black box they called personal computer! My four-year-old mind was awestruck with this little television that could interact with us; I remember being duly impressed with a long list of scribbled information that finally gave way to a screen that was an amazingly efficient slate.
