HISTORY OF COMPUTER
MOST HISTORIES OF MODERN COMPUTER BEGIN WITH THE ANALYTICAL
ENGINE ENVISIONED BY CHARLES BABBAGE FOLLOWING THE MATHEMATICALS
IDEAS OF GEORGE BOOLE,
THE MATHEMATICIAN WHO FIRST STATED THE PRINCIPLES OF LOGIC INHERENT IN
TODAY DIGITAL COMPUTER. BABBAGES ASSISTANT AND COLLABORATIOR, ADA
LOVELACE IS SAID TO HAVE INTRODUCED THE IDEAS OF PROGRAM, LOOPS AND
SUBROUTINES AND IS SOMETIMES CONSIDERED THE FIRST PROGRAMMER, A
PART FROM MECHANICAL CALCULATORS, THE FIRST REALLY USEABLE COMPUTER
BEGAN W TH THE VACUUM TUBE, ACCELERATED WITH THE INVENTION OF
TRANISTOR.
WHICHTHEN BECAME EMBEDDED IN LARGE NUMBERS IN INTEGRATED CIRCUITS,
ULTIMATELY MAKINGV POSSIBLE TE RELATIVELY LOW-COST PERSONAL COMPUTER.
MODERN COMPUTER INHERENTLY OLLOW THE IDEAS OF THE STORED
PROGRAM LAID OUT BY JOHN VON NEUMANN IN 1945, ESENTIALLY, THE
PROGRAM IS READ BY THE COMPUTER ONE INSTRUCTION AT A TIME, AN
OPERATION PERRFORMED AND THE COMPUERS THEN READS INTHE NEXT
INSTRUCTION, AND SO ON,RECENTLY COMPUTERS AND PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN
DEVISED THAT ALLOW MULTIPLE PROGRMS (AND COMPUTER) TO WOK ON THE
SAME PROBLEM AT THE SAME TIME IN PARALLEL, WITH THE ADVENT OF THE
INTERNET AND HIGHER BADWIDTH DATA TRANSMISSION, PROGRAMS AND DATA
THAT ARE PART OF THE SAME OVERALL PROJECT CAN BE DISTRIBUTED OVER A
NETWORK AND EMBODY THE SUN MICROSYSTEMS SLOGAN THE NETWOK IS THE
COMPUTER

CAPABLITIES OF COMPUTER
1.} SPEED -WHICH SPEED REACHING UP TO FIFTY MILLION OPERATIVES PER
SECOND, A COMPUTER CAN PROCESS DATA FASTER THAN ANY OTHER MACHINE
DESIGNED PERFORM A SIMILAR TASK, THAT IS, CONSIDERED AS ONE
OPERATION.
2.}REPETITION A COMPUTER CAN PERFORM THE SAME SAME OPERATION A
MILLION TIMES IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, THE VARIOUS OPERATION ARE
EXECUTED AUTOMATICALLY BY WAY OF STORED COMPUTERS PROGRAM.
3.)ACCURACY HIGH SPEED PROCESSING BY A COMPUTER IS ACCOMPANIED BY
HIGH ACCURACY RESULTS, A COMPUTER CAN BE CONSIDERED 100% ACCURATE,
THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUITY OF COMPUTERS IS SUCH THAT, WHEN THE
MACHINES ARE FED WITH CORRECT INSTRUCTIONS, THE MACHINES ARE FED

WITH CORRECT INSTRUCTIONS OR DATA AND WHEN THE INCOMING DATA

ERROR- FREE. THE ACCURACY OF THE OUTPUT RELATIVELY ASSURED.
1.)DETERMINING OF A CERTAIN IF A STATEMENT IS TRUE OR FALSE.
2.}BASED ON THE RESULT OF FIRST STEP, CHOOSING ONE OR OTHER
COURSE OF ACTION OUT
OF THE
ALTERNATIVES PROVIDED IN THE COMPUTER PROGRAM.
3.}LOGICAL OPERATIONS -THE COMPUTER CAN MAKE A DECISION BASED ON
ALTERNATIVE COUSES OF ACTION, THE DECISIONS OF A COMUTER ARE,
HOWEVER, DEPENDENT ON THE PROGRAMS PREPARED FOR IT BY THE
PROGRAMMER, IN DECISION CONSIST OF TWO STEPS NAMELY,
4.)COMPACT STORAGE-A COMPUTER HAS THE ABILITY TO STORE LARGE
AMOUNTS OF DATA IN COMPACT AND EASILY RETRIEVABLE FORM, IT CAN TORE
DATA AT A VERY HIGH SPEED.
5.)DESCIPLINE- DESCIPLINE MEANS THAT COMPUTER CAN SELF-CHECK AND
SELF-OPERATE, A COMPUTER CAN SELF-CHECK WHEN IT VERIFIES THE
ACCURACY OF ITS OWN WORK BY MEANS OF A PARITY CHECK, IN PARITY
CHECK, THE COMPUTERS COUNTS THE NUMBER OF CHARACTERS, IT HAS
STORED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WILL BE NO LOSS OF DATA DURING
PROCESSING IN SELF OPERATION, A COMPUTER IS CAPABLE OF EXECUTING
INSTRUCTIONS, ON ITS OWN, WITOUT HUMAN INTERVENTION, ONCE THE
PROGRAM AND DATA REFERRED INTO THE COMPUTERS MEMORY.

LIMITATION OF COMPUTER
HERE ARE SOME LIMITATIONS A COMPUTER HAS:
1.}THE COMPUTER CAN ONLY PERFORM THE TASKS YOU ASK TO IT, YOU
CANNOT EXPECT A COMPUTER TO BE SMARTER THAN THE PERSON, RUNNING
IT, TROUGH IT CAN SOMETIMES SEEM THAT WAY, BASICALLY, AS THE PERSON
RUNNING IT YOU HAVE TO TELL THE COMPUTER.
2.)COMPUTER CANNOT GENERATE INFORMATION BY IT SELF, YOU HAVE TO GIVE
THE COMPUTERS OPERATION, AND EVEN NOW INSTRUCTIONS FROM TIME TO
TIME, UPDATES FOR EXAMPLE ARE A WAY TO GET NEW INFORMATION, TO
WAY TO GET NEW INFORMATION, TO YOUR COMPUTER TO HELP STREAMLINE
ITS FUNCTIONALITY BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO FEED IT THAT INFORMATION BY
HAVING AN INTERNET CONNECTION AND AUTOMATIC UPDATES.
3.}IF YOU GIVE THE COMPUTER WRONG DATA, IT IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A
WRONG INFORMATION, THE COMPUTER CAN ONLY WORK WITH WHAT YOU GIVE
IT, IT IS JUST LIKE GIVING DIREKSYON TO SOMEONE, IF YOU TELL SOMEONE TO
GO RIGHT WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE GONE LEFT, YOU ARE GIVING THEM THE
WRONG INFORMATION AND THEY WILL NOT ABLE TO FIND YOU.
4.}COMPUTERS ARE UNABLE TO CORRECT INSTRUCTIONS, SO YOU HAVE TO
CORRECT YOUR MISTAKE IF YOU WANT IT TO WORK RIGHT.
5.}OVERALL, A COPUTER WAS BUILT BY HUMANS AND NEW TECHNOLOGY
COMES OUT ALL THE TIME, HARDWARE WILL EVENTUALLY FADE OUT AND
DETERIORATE, GIVEN THIS PROPERTIES IT CAN BE HARD FOR A COMPUTER TO
REMAIN A PRIME MACHINE, THESE ARE FIVE LIMITATIONS COMPUTERS, THERE
ARE MORE, BUT NOTE MOST ARE BASED ON HUMANS ARE PART OF A
LIMITATION A COMPUTER HAVE.

FUNCTION OF COMPUTER
WHILE THE FUNCTIONS AND APPLICATIONS OF A COMPUTER ALMOST
ENDLESS, WE CAN SENSE FOUR PRIMARY PURPOSES, THAT ARE ALL LINKED
TO DATA {INFORMATION]; ENTERING DATA, MANIPULATING DATA, VIEWING
PROCESSED DATA, AND STORING DATA, COMPUTERS ARE DESIGNED TO
TRANSFORM RAW DATA INTO INFORMATION, THE COMPUTERS OPERATES
UNDER THE CONTROL OF INSTRUCTIONS STORED IN ITS OWN MEMORY UNIT
AN CAN ACCEPT INPUTTED DATA, PROCESS IT ARITHMICALLY INFORMATION AND
STORE THE RESULTS FOR FUTURE USE, ALL THE APPLICATIONS OF ACOPUTER
DERIVE FROM TIS BASIC STARTING POINTS,\

CLASSIFICATION OF COMPUTER
There are three major types of computer classification: size,
functionality and data handling. Classification of computer in relation to size
divides to computers into four main categories: mainframe computers,
minicomputers, micro- computers and super computers.
Different-sized computers offer different services. A computer can be as big
as entire room or as small a microcontroller found in mobile and embedded
system.
The microcomputers, sometimes referred to as the personal
computers, are the most common types of computers used by people. They
include in-car built computers, game consoles and desktop computers.
Additionally, under the category of microcomputers, there are smaller
computers, including laptops, mobile phones, tablets, programmable
calculators, handheld game consoles, notebook, smart phone and smart
books.
