GENERATION OF COMPUTERS The term generation indicates the type of technology used in the computer construction. As new technology was emerging‚ it was being used in the making of computer. The new technology improved the speed‚ accuracy and storage capacity of the computers. Different technologies have been used for computers in different times. Therefore‚ computers can be divided into five generations depending upon the technologies used. These are: First Generation (1940 - 1956) Second

Basics of Computer :: 1 1 Basics of Computer 1.1 INTRODUCTION In this lesson we present an overview of the basic design of a computer system: how the different parts of a computer system are organized and various operations performed to perform a specific task. You would have observed that instructions have to be fed into the computer in a systematic order to perform a specific task. Computer components are divided into two major categories‚ namely‚ hardware and software. In this lesson we

Computer Packages 11 Graphic Packages: It is important to recall that the early graphics software performed creditably on production of simple bar graphs and funny little people made of squares. However‚ the modern day graphics software and hardware is so advanced such that it is sometimes difficult to tell if computer or trick photograph produced a picture. Computer graphics as often seen in advertisement‚ Logos‚ and sports broadcast on televisions are products of computer graphic applications
