Chapter 1. Introduction to Computer Organization and Computer Evolution I. Computer Organization and Computer Architecture In describing computers‚ a distinction is often made between computer architecture and computer organization. Although it is difficult to give precise definitions for these terms‚ a consensus exists about the general areas covered by each. Computer Architecture refers to those attributes of a system visible to a programmer or‚ put another way‚ those attributes that have a

COMPUTERS A Computerized World Computers play an important role in this modern society. All people around the world are forced the "computer age" nowadays. Since the first computer was made in the late 1950s‚ which I heard that was came from the Chinese Abacus‚ the technology has developed extremely. Computers are everywhere and control a great deal of our living environment. More and more areas are being taken over by the computer. Not able to use a computer is a serious handicap with ramifications

There is no noun with the ability to represent modern life other than computer. Whether the effect is negative or positive‚ computers control nearly every aspect of our everyday life. Computers have evolved from bearing the role of strictly computing to having the ability of completing unthinkable tasks. Supermarket scanners calculate our grocery bill while keeping store inventory; computerized telephone switching centers play traffic cop to millions of calls and keep lines of communication untangled;

History of Computing Hardware Computing hardware evolved from machines that needed separate manual action to perform each arithmetic operation‚ to punched card machines‚ and then to stored-program computers. The history of stored-program computers relates first to computer architecture‚ that is‚ the organization of the units to perform input and output‚ to store data and to operate as an integrated mechanism. Before the development of the general-purpose computer‚ most calculations were done

Computer Simulation: Gambling is known to be a vice of many men. An activity that requires one to bet their cold hard cash that they earned through their jobs and to bet it all on a luck and the slim chance that they would somehow beat the odds and receive what they had betted and much more. Gambling has been proven to stimulate the brains reward system that similar to how drugs and alcohol stimulate the brains reward system.
