History Of Computer ^_^

Assalamualaikum,


    From this topic, I know who was invented the computer. They were 4 people which are Blaise Pascal (1642), Gottfried Leibniz (1670), Joseph-Marie Jacquard (1801), and Charles Babbage (1820). Moreover, from what I had learnt there were 5 generations of computer. The first generation is (ENIAC and UNIVAC) in 1940-1950, the second is Transistor in 1950-1964, the third is Integrated Circuit in 1964-1674 then follow by the fourth is Single-Chip Processor and the fifth is Artificial Intelligence. To conclude all the generation of computer, the latest and the high quality is the fifth generation that computer can think and learn.




    From what I had understood, computer architecture had 5 component that are processer, memory, output & input, data path and control. Then, the speed is measured in hertz (Hz), then the capacity is measured in bytes. Previously, I had learnt about categories of computer, they were 5 which are Embedded Computer, Mobile Computer, Personal Computer, Midrange Servers, Mainframes, and Super Computer.




    Moreover, they are two types of memory from what I had learnt in the lecture. The first is RAM (Random Access Memory) which is volatile and the second is ROM (Read Only Memory) which is nonvolatile. In addition, storage hold data, instruction and information for future use, that mean a place where we can put or back up our data and files, for example pen drive, CD, hard disk, and etc.

I think that all from me today and do not forget to smile… ^_^
