The time line of the progression of computers and computer technology. * 500bc the Abacus was first recorded to be used in China. The Abacus was not an electronic machine, but a hand held tool that could temporarily store and work with large numbers. * 1820 Charles Babbage designs the first mechanical analytical engine, but did not have the technology and resources available to construct the Babbage Differential engine until 1991. When constructed by a team from the science museum in London

From childhood computers caught my eyes. There was something about them that always attracted my interest. Starting from paint, games , and then finally LOGO, my first ever experience with a programming language. It changed my whole perception about what we can do with computers. Gradually, in my high school I moved on to languages like C, Visual Basic, and C++ . This raised my interest towards computes more and it made me opt for Computer Science as my field in undergraduate course , in Maharaja

combination of hardware and basic software that links the machines on a computer network. Computer architecture refers to an entire structure and to the details needed to make it functional. Thus, computer architecture covers computer systems, microprocessors, circuits, and system programs. Typically the term does not refer to application programs, such as spreadsheets or word processing, which are required to perform a task but not to make the system run. In designing a computer system,

Pentium Flaw The Pentium flaw was a bug within the Pentium CPU’s 3.1 million transistors that caused the transistors to perform division incorrectly. Intel’s engineers discovered the flaw after the product’s release in 1993 but chose to keep silent and attempt to correct the flaw in future updates to the processor chip. The flaw was discovered in 1994 by American mathematician Thomas Nicely. Nicely was using a personal computer equipped with Intel’s Pentium chip when he discovered a flaw in the

MICROPROCESSORS A microprocessor is like the decision maker of computers. Without processors the computer would be useless. It is also known as the Central Processing Unit or CPU. The processor does all the calculations in a computer. If there is an input it calculates and produces and output. “The microprocessor chip is an electronic device that is a computer's central processing unit (CPU) aka the brains of your computer. A microprocessor is a single integrated circuit that is a multipurpose
