HISTORY OF COMPUTER THE PRE-MECHANICAL AGE: 3000 B.C. – 1450 A.D. 1. Writing and Alphabets – Communication First development of signs corresponding to spoken sounds‚ instead of pictures‚ to express words. Around 2000 B.C.‚ Phoenicians created symbols that expressed single syllables and consonants (the first true alphabet) The Greeks later adopted the Phoenician alphabet and added vowels; the Romans gave the letters Latin names to create the alphabet we use today. 2.

Main article: History of computer science Charles Babbage is credited with inventing the first mechanical computer. Ada Lovelace is credited with writing the first algorithm intended for processing on a computer. The earliest foundations of what would become computer science predate the invention of the modern digital computer. Machines for calculating fixed numerical tasks such as the abacus have existed since antiquity‚ aiding in computations such as multiplication and

Computer Memory Basics Although memory is technically any form of electronic storage‚ it is used most often to identify fast‚ temporary forms of storage. If your computer’s CPU had to constantly access the hard drive to retrieve every piece of data it needs‚ it would operate very slowly. When the information is kept in memory‚ the CPU can access it much more quickly. Most forms of memory are intended to store data temporarily. As you can see in the diagram above‚ the CPU accesses memory according

of malware. They spread over computer networks by finding operating system vulnerabilities. Worms typically cause harm to their host networks by consuming bandwidth and shorting out web servers. Generally‚ the intent of the worm is to be malicious. There are some worms however‚ which do not have malicious intent. They are referred to as anti-worms. Computer worms are classified as a type of computer virus‚ but there are several characteristics that distinguish computer worms from regular viruses

What are the Parts of Computer? The Parts of a Desktop Computer are: 1. System unit The system unit is the core of a computer system. Usually it’s a rectangular box placed on or underneath your desk. Inside this box are many electronic components that process information. The most important of these components is the central processing unit (CPU)‚ or microprocessor‚ which acts as the "brain" of your computer. Another component is random access memory (RAM)‚ which temporarily stores

makes our life easier have a computer. Some people says‚ its a great relieve that their work are much easier with the aid of computers. Other people taught that being too dependent to computers has a consequential negative outcome to mankind. In this essay‚ I will discuss the arguments for and against using computers. Firstly‚ computers are widely being used in different work field. Example of it‚ in airline industry‚ one of the most important component is computer. They are the one who calculate

A computer system consists of mainly four basic units; namely input unit‚ storage unit‚ central processing unit and output unit. Central Processing unit further includes Arithmetic logic unit and control unit‚ as shown in the figure:. A computer performs five major operations or functions irrespective of its size and make. These are • it accepts data or instructions as input‚ • it stores data and instruction • it processes data as per the instructions‚ • it controls all operations inside a computer

Biometrics Biometrics[1] (or biometric authentication)[note 1] refers to the identification of humans by their characteristics or traits. Biometrics is used in computer science as a form of identification and access control.[2] It is also used to identify individuals in groups that are undersurveillance.[citation needed] Biometric identifiers are the distinctive‚ measurable characteristics used to label and describe
