CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) is an on board semiconductor chip powered by a motherboard battery/ CMOS battery used to store system time and date as well as system hardware setting for computers. CMOS is used to store certain system hardware settings and software configurations such as video type, disk type, and available memory. The CMOS is used every time your computer is starting up and when it is powered off. The CMOS is powered by a CMOS battery that keeps the CMOS memory

tubes and were microscopic in comparison, this allowed smaller, faster, and more reliable computers to be designed and used. The invention of transistors set the stage for the invention of the integrated circuit and then the microprocessor. The inventor of the first practical integrated circuit in 1959, was Robert Noyce. According to Berlin, “Robert Noyce has

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

Artificial Intelligence: Watch Out! Over the years, the thought of computers becoming out equal or taking over has been a major concern. The procedural knowledge that is programmed into machines, such as computers and robots, is known as artificial intelligence. In “The AI Revolution is On,” Steven Levy describes artificial intelligence as machines that do “human-like tasks in ways that people never could” using skills that are programmed into them without “re-creating the brain” (210). Although

Celeron. in addition to the different names of computer processors, there are different architectures 32-bit and 64-bit, speeds, and capabilities. Cpu is an electronic circuit within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control and input/output. Electronic circuit is composed of individual electronic components, such as resistors, transistors, capacitors, inductors and diodes, connected by conductive wires or traces through which

not cause Circuit City to perform so poorly. How confident are you in your evaluation? Why? After reviewing the article, one can be confident that the replacement of highly paid workers was what made Circuit City perform poorly, which led to Circuit City closing. One can be confident that high paid skilled workers is what hurt Circuit City due to Best Buy being able to outperform Circuit City with less quality people and lower wages. Highly paid workers hurt Circuit City due to Circuit City not being
