years. The modern computers we are all familiar with can trace their roots back to simple computational machines that seem far removed from what we think of as a computer today. Simple Computers • By definition‚ a computer is any device capable of performing mathematical equations or calculations. Therefore‚ many simple devices such as an abacus (which dates back to at least 300 BCE) or a slide rule (first made in England in the 1630s) are the forerunners of today’s modern computers. The Calculating

Computer Crime Bryan J. Doe CJ375 Research Paper COMPUTER CRIME One of the newest areas of crime is what we call computer crime. The at least seeming anonymity of computer technologies may actually encourage some people who would not otherwise be tempted to commit crimes to do so using the Internet. They may simply believe that they will never be caught‚ or they may not think about being caught at all. They may simply find the lure of committing virtual crimes too psychologically appealing to

Computer programming (often shortened to programming) is a process that leads from an original formulation of a computing problem to executable programs. It involves activities such as analysis‚ understanding‚ thinking‚ and generically solving such problems resulting in an algorithm‚ verification of requirements of the algorithm including its correctness and its resource consumption‚ implementation (commonly referred to as coding[1][2]) of the algorithm in a target programming language. Source code is

Computer Security Student Name University Abstract James works for a bank‚ and he spends most of his attending to bank clients and travelling. He always carries with him a laptop that contains confidential bank information. The Operating System of the laptop was last updated in May 2011. Some of the programs James uses are MS word 2007‚ MS Access and MS Excel. James’ computer is‚ however‚ not well secured. It does not have a firewall or an antivirus. In addition‚ the data in the laptop are

Horses Computer viruses are man-made program or a piece of code which can load onto your computer without your knowledge and cause damage to your computer system. The dangerous part of the computer viruses is they are attached to a file or program‚ which means the computer viruses will not running until you click the file or program‚ and even more dangerous type of viruses is one capable of transmitting itself across networks and bypassing security system. Worms are similar to computer viruses

requires a computer system to comepete in a travel market. as New London has a growing population and with the increasing use of internet in home and at work it is anticipated that the business of NLT will expand. As transport links improve it is anticipated that potential customers from several smaller towns in the area will also visit or call NLT to book holidays. Currently NLT has no computers and as a result it is not being able to access on line sales. one of the benefits using computers and having

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
