second generation computer in TechnologyExpand architecture A computer built from transistors, designed between the mid-1950s andmid-1960s. Ferrite core memory and magnetic drums replaced cathode ray tubes anddelay-line storage for main memory. Index registers and floating pointarithmetic hardware became widespread. Machine-independent high levelprogramming languages such as ALGOL, COBOL and Fortran wereintroduced to simplify programming. I/O processors were introduced to supervise inpu

Page 4 ALU Page 5 ALU Picture Page 6 Introduction CPU Many people consider the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to be the brains of the computer. This is not true because, for the most part, the CPU cannot keep data stored inside it like a human brain. It is used to process much of the information needed by the computer, just like our brain thinks and processes information and gives orders to our other body parts. ALU Stands for (Arithmetic Logic Unit). An ALU is an

Accelerated Processing Units (APUs), introduced to market in January 2011, is a new generation of processors that combines the computing processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU) capabilities in a single chip (die). APU-based platforms can deliver a prodigious amount of computational horsepower, and can present enormous opportunities in developing an application ecosystem beyond today’s mainstream computer systems. While APUs seek to deliver a superior, immersive PC experience, they

technologies and internet are extremely functional for us. Among those, search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo are especially popular among computer users. However, some critics believe that these websites are making us stupid. Among those critics, Carr in “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” focuses on how Google is making us lose concentration. On the other hand, computer users like me, writer Zimmer in “How Google Is Making Us Smarter,” and author Chamorro-Premuzic in “Is Technology Making Us Stupid (and

technologies, the generation is conceived to be known now as generation “M”. Media as the core of this generation is delivered such that it remarkably influences greater people globally. It is one of the most dominant forces as its messages are decoded by the youths which lead them in shaping their own perceptions. Research studies showed 2/3 of toddlers view television daily for 2 hours, and kids and teens view television daily for 4 hours plus 2 hours exerted for staying on a computer (www.articlesphere
