The first computers were

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 reflected a change to hardware of decreased size but increased capabilities to control computer operations. The first generation used vacuum tubes‚ the second used

Computer Animation Computer animators work to bring objects to life through the use of computer graphics. Like traditional animators‚ computer animators manipulate graphics and images to simulate movement. However‚ unlike traditional animators‚ computer animators use digital technology to create new visual effects and motions that help avoid the monotonous‚ frame-by-frame drawing required for each picture. Computer animation is a very lucrative business and shows no sign of slowing down in the future
