people have been trying to create a machine of mathematical convenience since the early 1900s. However it wasn’t until 1946 when Professors John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert successfully built the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator (ENIAC)‚ the world’s first general purpose computer‚ which cost $500‚000 and filled a 20 foot by 40 foot room. And in 1951 Mauchly and Eckert create the UNIVAC‚ the first business and government applicable commercial computer. From this point the inventions

Czushane Capuso HRDM 1-1 1.What is computer? -Computer is an electronic device that is designed to work with Information.The term ‘computer is derived from the Latin term ‘computare’‚ this means to calculate.Computer can not do anything without a Program.it represents the decimal numbers through a string of binary digits. Computer is an advanced electronic device that takes raw data as input from the user and processes these data under the control of set of instructions (called program) and

The history of the modern computer age is a brief one. It has been about 50 years since the first operational computer was put into use: the MARK 1 in 1944 at Harvard and ENIAC in 1946 at the University of Pennsylvania. Early use of computers in education was primarily found in mathematics‚ science and engineering as a mathematical problem-solving tool‚ replacing the slide rule and thus permitting students to deal more directly with problems of a type and size most likely to be encountered in the

In computing‚ a keyboard is a typewriter-style device‚ which uses an arrangement of buttons or keys‚ to act as mechanical levers or electronic switches. Following the decline of punch cards and paper tape‚ interaction via teleprinter-style keyboards became the main input device for computers. A keyboard typically has characters engraved or printed on the keys and each press of a key typically corresponds to a single written symbol. However‚ to produce some symbols requires pressing and holding several

Input was based on punched cards and paper tape‚ and output was displayed on printouts. The UNIVAC and ENIAC computers are examples of first-generation computing devices. The UNIVAC was the first commercial computer delivered to a business client‚ the U.S. Census Bureau in 1951. Second Generation (1956-1963) Transistors
