Introduction of Computer Q1- What is computer? A1- Computer is an electronic machine which can store, retrieves and process data and can be programed with instruction and process data. A computer is a combination of hardware and software and can exist in a variety of sizes and configurations.

 Hardware and software  The term hardware refers to the physical computer of your computer such as the system unit, CPU, mouse, keyboard, monitor, etc.  The software is the instruction that makes the computer work. Software is held either on your computer, hard discs, cd, rom, DVD, or in floppy disc.

 Types of computer  Mini computer  Main computerAre very powerful used by large organizations such as banks to control the entire business.

 Personal computer 1


Introduction of Computer  Cheap and easy to use often use as stand along computer and in a network or may be connected to the large main from computer within companies.

 Hardware computer

 Key board  Mouse  Joy sticks  Game pads  Output devices

 Monitor  Printer  Characteristics of computer

 Speed – computers are very fast machine a powerful computer is capable of performing thousands of simple instruction per second.

Introduction of Computer  Accuracy – in addition to being fast computer are also accurate computer cannot occur any error while performing any task.

 Diligence- Computer are highly consistence the do not suffer from traits of boredom and tired ness resulting in lack of concentration computer are better than human being is performing any task.

 Versality- Computer is a versatile machine and is capable of performing any task as long as it can be broken down into a series of logical steps.

 Storage capacity- Computer can store large amount of data at a time a piece of information once recorded in a computer can never be forgotten and can be retrieve any time.

Introduction of Computer

Primary- memory can be farther classifieds ram and Rome. Ram- random asses’ memory Rom- read only memory Random asses memory is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs and the data in current use are kept temporarily show that they can be access by the computer processors it is said to be volatile memory since program are accessible only as long as the computer is on. The contents of ram no more available once the computer is turn off.  Rom – read only memory is a spatial type of memory which can be read and right

Introduction of Computer feather the content a program are not lost even when the computer is switch off. Rom also stores an initial program called the bootstrap ladder. Whose function is to start the operation of computer system ones the power is turn on.  Generation technology is a change in it – A computer is bean use day by day is called generation. Now a day’s generation includes both hardware and software which together make up and entire computer system. There are totally 5 types of generation.  1st generation  1942-1954 1945-1956

 2nd generation  1952-1964  3rd generation  1964-1972  4th generation  1971-1990

Introduction of Computer  5th generation  1990-til now st

1 generation  1st generation of computer was (1942-1954). 1st generation of computer started with using vacuum tube for processing CPU. These tubes like electric. Produce a lot of heat therefore work very expensive and could by affordable only by a large organization.  Vacuum to technology.  Unreliable.  Supported machine only.  Very costly.  Generation lots of heat.  Need of AC.  Huge size.  Non portable. 8


Introduction of Computer  ENIAC EDVAC UNIVAC IBM-701 IBM-650

2ND GENERATION In the generation of computer transistor were used in place of vacuum

They made of semi-conductor. They are more durable then vacuum tubes. 1. Ibm-1620- science purpose 2. Ibm-1401-biznus application 3. Cdc-3600- scientific purpose

Advantages – they were smaller than first generation.  They generate less heat.  They took less computer time.  They were less prawn failure. 9


Introduction of Computer Disadvantages- they require ac.  They require frequency observation.  They were difficult to purchase.

3rd generation-(1964-1971)  Ice and also called chip  Ices have more compact then a transistor single ice have many transistor resister and capacitor placed on single then silicon.  IBM 360 (1964-IBM com)  PDP 8 (1965- DCE com)  PDP 11 (1970- DCE com)  CRA 1 (1974)  VAX (1978)

They are very smaller in size. They generate less heat. They reduced computation time. They have low maintenance cost. They have easily portable. They were comparatively cheaper.

4th generation (9071) VLSI is very large integration technology. After the integration of integrated sweet computer could only get smaller in size since hundreds of computer could fit on one chip. The use of VLSI technology had squeezed thousands of computers in one time.
